So being an insomniac I was wandering around the T1 area on my little marauder...couple of mobs not spawning so just bugged them. Had a response within less than 10 mins. At 4:30am! Someone is earning his wages....

supposedly they are more OBS on things here in the beginning maybe. as a precaution, not wanting to let some things fuck up, i dont know, just a thought =)

It was actually written on the official site somewhere that for the first few weeks there is going to be 24/7 support.

Shouldn't just be for the first few weeks.
24/7 CSR was/is one of GOAs promises regarding the service level.

They'll either be working shifts or they'll be farming out the overnight support to another company.

Yeah the CSR's are doing nice work to be honest!
Got one within 10 minutes as well and answered my questions perfectly. So very pleased with that.

It's good that they actually have csr's in the eu this time around and not just in us.

guiness is the only beer i know that after 3 pints makes me hug the toilet.

on the other hand, when you consider how troubled the OB was, the game launch was bloody smooth for a game of this size.

seems all the lessons learned in the OB made it possible for GOA to debug their system very nicely.

credit where credit is due.

nice work from goa:drink:

9am-5pm
2pm-10pm
6pm-2am

Well this bodes well for GOA its nice to see that support is high on their agenda... although it would be nice if they kept people informed more on their website.

E.g. did anyone notice the account login wasn't working yesterday off the main site?

GOA moved their customer support department to Dublin in its entirety just to provide 24 hour support for WAR; French labour laws would have made it impossible to back home. Kudos to them for making the effort, since it seems to have paid off.
