Emergency Maintenance 1/23Follow

My server's still not up ; ;

I have to agree that something needed to be done about the problems we are currently dealing with in the game. As a former IT guy, I also know how 1 single problem can branch out to many issues. Or that one small code change can cause other problems. This is the world of programming and computers.

Personally I enjoy ALL aspects of the game. I like to PVP as much as I do PVE. Yes, I would like all of this to be fixed yesterday, but I also have to be realistic too. Knowing that anytime you try and correct a bug (or as my old programmers would put it "an undesired feature"), unexpected things can happen. I know Blizz people also are aware of these problems, or the potential for problems anytime a "patch" is applied.

What I think most people are getting mad about is the lack of communication from the Blizzard staff. Anytime we worked on servers (ie took them down), we were forced to give an estimated up time. Sometimes we got them up early, as Blizz has also done in the past, sometimes we found other issues that required us to keep them down longer. The difference is we gave updates. We talked to our customers and explained the problems. It is this area that Blizzard seems to fail the most at.

I work 8+ hours per day now, spend time with the girlfriend still, but overall, I do indeed have more time as an 'adult' then I did as a teenager. Strangely enough, this didn't happen 'til I was getting closer to the mid 20's. In high school I hardly had time for Tetris, let alone even THINKING about an MMO. Now I sometimes have time for six, or more, hours of MMO play per day. Very interesting.

You STFU at least you could even log in. I couldn't even stay on my main server for 10 minutes. If this patches that problem I'll be happy. I work too but at least you could even play the game.





Miniscule? Are you joking? Are you retarded? I wouldn't call crashing and lag miniscule. Oh and millions play the game, you have to be ignorantly stupid to believe that there aren't a lot of arena players. And who said this is even fixing the arena? All I seen from Blizzard was to fix current in-game issues. That's a pretty vague sentence and includes a lot more than arena, pattycaeks.





WoW has Eleven million subscribers. You're assuming 0% of them arena. That's not true when you look at the arena boards. You're a stupid selfish whiny bish. Stop thinking about just your wants and needs because there are a ton of players that do play arena. And they have been doing other stuff lately. Stop lumping all players into your demographic, chowderhead.




I want to go over to your house and **** in your cheerios and crap in your boots. You're paying for a service. If you don't like the service or don't think it's worth the cost then stop paying for it. For just a second imagine, with that tiny little close-minded brain of yours, that you're a Blizzard employee. How would you like to be going through that much stress and pressure right now? Stop trying to make it look like Blizzard is some bad guy and is only after the money. They're not scamming players. They're providing an honest entertainment for our value.


What do you think they're doing, assmunch? Playing hopscotch in the break room? No they're fixing our issues. People like you need to work in customer service because it's people like you that make it such hell.
