Doesn't change the fact that this is still a live beta to try and fix the final game crashing bugs that never get caught on the test servers involving all subscribers before they launch the free/Premium accounts. So deal with it.

I did say maybe.

No that's way too much.

To fairly compensate players for downtime the devs would have to tabulate exactly how many hours the servers were down and then add up how much that time actually cost the players out of their subscription fees.

30 days = 720 hours

Dividing the hours into the monthly $15 dollar subscription fee gets you just over .02 cents an hour, and since our devs are generous they'd most likely round it up to .03 cents an hour.

So the game would have to be offline for at least 83 hours just to be equivalent to 210 PP. That would be about three and a half straight days of server downtime.

Of course all the above only applies to unscheduled downtime. They scheduled the current downtimes and told us in advance they were happening so they wouldn't be compensated for as per the EULA.

No. It seems the German players are just asking for an ingame perk where the English speaking whiners are demanding financial restitution.

The funny part is after stating they want free time added to their accounts which would cost the company money, the whiners get mad when people point out that the down time that has occurred only cost the whiners a few pennies individually.

Too darn funny.

I also agree with this sentiment. I was just reiterating that it isn't necessary to delete a character just to check if a name is available.

Personally many of my character inspirations occur while I'm actually playing and chatting with friends in the game, so /friend is easier for me than logging out, then logging back in, then checking the name. Usually it goes like this ...

(In chat channel) OH! That gives me an idea for a character!
/friend
"So-and-so does not exist or is not online"
(In chat channel) Brb. Gonna make a new alt.

Wrong.

As has been pointed out earlier in the thread you can simply log in and do a /friend and

So you don't have to delete a character to check if a name is available.


Or were you poking fun at the idea with a Pink Floyd parody?

"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"

1. The devs got rid of the old system entirely.

2. They let players keep everything they earned under the old system and gave them new stuff for free under the new system.

3. Maybe the players that supposedly "pounced" on you and "flamed" you are mature adults that don't feel the need to overreact and throw hissy-fits when the devs redesign the game.

We've already seen how the rep trolls abused the rep feature on the forums. They'll just do the same thing in the AE.

Sorry to disappoint you but you are the only one putting on the Crying act with your bizarre suggestion that the devs should stop maintaining the servers,

and somehow magically anticipate unexpected problems before they happen.

Oh and why are you having a hissy-fit over the responses you are getting to your suggestion when you flat out admitted in your initial post that you knew it would generate controversy but you didn't care because you wanted to vent.



If you want people to take your ideas seriously as opposed to a childish rant, then you should take the time to write your idea in a clear concise manner that is easy to understand. It's not the fault of anyone responding if they don't understand what you intended to say if you didn't explain yourself clearly because you were posting incoherently.

Doesn't matter. NCSoft isn't responsible for their inability to play the game more frequently. That's a personal problem they need to deal with on their own.

Just be glad the moistened bints aren't lobbing scimitars at us.

OOH OOH I DO!

I feel so clever now.

I like the idea as long as we are given the ability to choose which bins are linked. Many SG's allow leaders to use bins for personal storage, so we don't want just any one snatching stuff they aren't entitled to get.

This also applies to bin permissions. You have to be careful that the system doesn't get around the security features designed to keep unauthorized SG members from looting the bins.

They can feel whatever they like, but it doesn't mean they are entitled to compensation because they couldn't play a game for a few hours.

Damnit. I was gonna make a similar comment. Oh well, Maybe the devs can focus on spaying or neutering the PvPers now.

Dispari you know this game has plenty of farmers that will want to farm those SO's for sale rather than use them on their own characters, and there will be just as many gotta-have-it-now players that will want to buy those SO's rather than earn them by running the trial themselves. The fact that they will outlevel them won't even cross their minds.
