The irony of this whole SI stuff is like when John Leslie was accused of all that stuff, everyone was screaming blue murder and it was top news
Couple of weeks go by and everyone forgets about it
Lets just look at the facts for a minute, your moaning whining, complaints aren't going to achieve anything, hell they may make u feel better but they aren't going to speed up SI being sorted.
You have to be a little naive to think that GOA don't realise ur pissed off, in fact u can guarantee they are pissed off to, but the fact of the matter is, THESE THINGS HAPPEN, yeah its annoying and yeah its a real pisser, but nothing is infallable, nothing really goes super smooth, even in America when SI came out there were issues which needed patching but they were sorted quickly because they are the actual developers of the game with access to everything, GOA isn't
As for subscription page issues yeah ok it could have been done better, but the fact of the matter is, that most companies couldn't handle 9000+ people refreshing a coding based database backend internet page in all facts it would just crash the server so GOA have had to limit it to be able to get some people on, and even if I am incorrect GOA aren't the bank and they don't have bottomless pockets of cash like any company they have to break even, and make some money to improve services and maybe a new improve server has not been approved by management, its not the DAoC teams fault there might be someone high up preventing updates, I dunno just speculation
All this talk of alienating new users is a bit of a hypocracy because through all this abuse, and ranting, new people are going to come into these forums and think "Fook this this community is a bunch of tossers!" And I don't really think any of us wants that I know ur all top stuff but new people won't have any idea
All in all, yeah it didn't go smoothly but all this crucifixtion of GOA isn't going to speed up the process, and some people have had the amazing idea of actually doing something else while waiting for the subscriptions to slowly pass through, what a great idea
And yes I agree you have paid ur money and yes as a consumer ur entitled to play ur product when u buy it, but then again thats clearly being naive. Everytime a consumer buys a product they run the risk of having problems or not being able to use the product, faulty hoover, microwave which doesn't defrost, a game which needs patching to prevent crashing throughout the game Unreal 2 is a perfect example crashes more than a drunk driver seriously needs a patch AND CHRIST I paid £35
All I am trying to say is have some patients, yes we are all pissed, but GOA are doing their best to sort this problem out, you can probably guarantee that some of their engineers and possibly Kemor himself are staying for extremely long hours at a time to resolve the ongoing issues as well as keep us informed of whats going on
Its like when you spill a bottle of milk, there is no point crying about its spilt now
Shit happens, and anyone who knows the MMORPG business world is living in a fantasy land if they think any MMORPG or expansion has had a smooth ride, all the ones out UO, AO, DAoC etc etc have all had their fair share of bad times for users.
All I trying to make u understand is your GOA's bread and butter and they are doing their utmost to resolve the issue, give em a chance, there is nothing i really make u say to make u feel better but we are all human and we all make mistakes
And yeah I have to agree refreshing the subs page for 10-13hrs is a bit obsessive
Faith will set u free
Peace, hope this calms a few fires
