    Hand here!


    By the way, who would we talk to to get compensated in this way by the game staff?

    I am good with writing them a message and demanding the keys.

    i doubt they would respond well to "Demands" but at the same time we shouldnt even have to ASK.. it should be done as a "sorry, we ****ed up" here's a treat !

    This is pissing me off. I'm gold, I'm paying to play this game. For most of the day I've been unable to play, and numerous times the website has also not been able to load. PWE definitely needs to do something to recoup the time lost to paying customers, if not all customers affected by this.

    I realize some things are beyond the control of the folks in charge. I get that. I read the post in another thread, concerning compensation for down time, where someone commented about the terms of service, so, changes can be made, etc, and no compensation is due.

    Cool.

    Except...I've worked 22+ years in the service industry, and, I know this isn't how customer service actually works.

    I picked back up gold membership, specifically to be able to do stuff at will, with the foundry. Guess what? I can't. No project I attempt, is not met with error messages, that shut down STO.

    And now? Now I can't even play the game regularly?

    So, for the devs, lemme explain how customer service actually works.

    If there is a problem, you fix it. If the problem has cost your customers time and/or money, you DEFINITELY fix that. It's smart business.

    Well, I have a bit of a different perspective here. It's nice to have connection issues that can't really be blamed on my awful Internet connection... :rolleyes:

    I also find it odd that with a thread about this growing approx 1 page a min, that the devs havent even chimed in, I know they are watching but they cant even say something ?

    not very good for customer service.

    Totally agreed! I am paying too. Here in germany providers cant take money for service not brought to the customer.

    The whining on this thread is, to be quite frank, immature.

    It doesn't matter what time they decide to do the testing--it's a worldwide game, so a lot of people are going to be on at any given time.

    Seriously, are people so addicted to their pixels that they have to rage when the game goes down for a little while? I mean, sure, passion for the game is good, but incessant whining, threats, and other bullying will get about as far on the forums as they will in the real world: nowhere. They're not going to make the techs work any faster.

    These cries for "compensation"? For a few hours of downtime? Pfft, most companies would make you wait more than a little longer than that before they will even discuss any sort of compensation.

    Go out and enjoy this thing called "real life". Play with the dog. Go out and get some air. Hell, play another MMO for a bit if that floats your boat and fills in the gap of time. Do something that wouldn't ordinarily get done because STO seems to be all there is in the world. It's not.

    In the meantime, let the techs do their jobs. They're doing this not to intentionally inconvenience everyone, but so that this issue doesn't happen again.

    FYI: From Terms of Service....
    (b) You acknowledge that the Service may be interrupted for reasons beyond the control of PWE, and PWE cannot guarantee that you will be able to access the Services or your Account whenever you may wish to do so. PWE shall not be liable for any interruption of the Services, delay or failure to perform resulting from any causes whatsoever.

    In other words: Compensation is a goodwill gesture at best, not a requirement.

    As for dev responses: They have work to do, like getting this issue resolved, that would preclude their giving a play-by-play rundown to the forums.

    Well I had no problems at all last night after work. I was able to get in and bounce between my account and my son's without issue. Today after work I can't get the launcher to connect at all.

    Nice job Perfect World. I played 3 years ago during beta and they had problems like this then. I quit and never did buy the game after the beta because it was terrible then. Then a year later I played again during the 1 year anniversary. I never experienced the issue then, but this same stuff was happening on the forums for SOME people. They tried blaming Comcast and some specific providers and how they routed stuff. Now it's 3 years in and they're STILL having routing issues with this game. No other MMO has these problems, why is STO plagued with this still 3 years later?

    This stinks man, I really had some time to play tonight too.:mad:

    The worst part is not being able to get my Rep projects set in motion for the day.

    I want to log on to do my Duty Missions. I have about 18 that should be done, and they are sitting in limbo. I have been a lifer since beta and I went through the -45 level crash when they went back and rolled people back by hand.

    I don't want any compensation, I just want to play.

    Absolutely...

    I'm in the industry also. They owe their gold customers something. It's just good business to keep the monthly payers happy. Just saying... lots of games out there. The ones that help out the pain, keep the players.

    Yeah it worked fine for some of us last night, but today it seems they broke it for more people as they tried to fix it.

    Some of us DO have lives, we DO go out, some of us are STUCK inside with heavy rains, SOME of us have only LIMITED time online to game, and are passionate about our favorite game we enjoy to play. So having MORONS using unreliable servers is rather infuriating.

    Its pretty funny, a bunch of people, most not even having jobs, are demanding to be compensated for a game they haven't paid for or don't pay to play. I guess their "time" is very valuable and somehow they are owed.

    If the downtime is large enough gold members might get something, f2p members will never get anything. It is very rare for an MMO to give anything in compensation, ever.
