Appreciate the hard work...

Thanks for coming in on the weekend to pop the servers and do whatever it is needed to be done. For someone who has been on-call during the weekend, and have had to come on to do server maintainence, I appreciate the work you all are doing. It's hard to convey to any customer the need and importance of server stability. Little things left unchecked until 'later' in a server environment can lead to bigger and nastier issues 'later'. While I do sympathize with my friends in Europe and Australia, it is always prime-time somewhere and unfortunetly you gamers get hit hardest.

I would gladly resign my time on any day of the week, eastern standard time, if it means the servers get improved. It's funny in this day and age, with so many people who have some knowledge of networking, that they are oblivious to it and what really needs to be done on a weekly, bi-weekly, monthly basis.
Of course there are issues that need to be worked on in this game. There has never been a game on PC's that hasn't required a patch or a fix. The Holy Grail of MMO's is a 'perfect launch' and a 'perfect game' with no need for fixes, downtimes, server upgrades, etc...I believe that's unattainable..just sayin ;)

I guess I don't sweat the small stuff because it's all small stuff. If you really, really are mad and frustrated about this game, maybe it's time to take a break. I don't say this to sound patronizing or demeaning, just to say maybe priorities need to be checked. Do I like firing up my PC and getting all ready to play for a few hours just to find the game is down? Of course not, but if there isn't anything "I" can do about it, or help to solve the issue...why worry about it? Yes, it can get frustrating, but there are alternatives to just getting mad and posting hate-filled messages.

Anyway, Thank You Cryptic employees for your hard work and dedication to this game. Many people do not realize what it takes to keep it going, but there are people in this community who do. As for Minotaurs in the game....I agree with that one poster who said could we have killer rabbits with big sharp teeth instead?
Imagine a whole planet filled with Rabbit's of Caerbannog....with Minotaur Masters? I mean really..what defines 'Fear' like a Minotaur and the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on?
