Servers going down again for 3 hoursFollow

Prove it true. You have but to quit paying your money, and don't buy the expansion. And then at least 5million other people have the quit playing. With an 11m+ player base, they can afford a lot of losses before they fire anyone.

FFXI is still paying its staff and it lost what 80% of its player base by the time BC hit?

Oh well, kinda saw this coming, but it's no big deal, I don't know why people are flipping out so bad. It happens, it's not the end of the world, that comes later tonight, but that's not the point.

Crap happens, we just have to deal with it. I would love nothing more to play considering I'm still on medical leave from work, but I'm not going ***** about it, I mean I'll have fun poking at blizzard, but I won't harp on them for trying to fix things, sometimes things don't work like they should and it's not like this is the only company that tells you one thing, but misses the deadline they tell you.

LOL now they have Database issues. TBD.



I thought the expansion was pretty much patched in already, prior to Tuesdays Routine Maint.

While I am frustrated at not being able to log on as well, I have found that Blizzard at least attempts to be fair to their user base. I'm sure none of them wants to have this down time. I work in IT and I can tell you right now, it sucks to be working in that area for the last two days. They have everyone and their brother screaming at them to get the servers up, not to mention the user base screaming they are gonna stop playing.

I played EQ for years, and trust me, the servers used to go out all the time. What did we get? Not even a "Sorry for you lost time". While it may not seem like much to some, Blizzard has given out rested bonus, and given days of free play. At least they try to make up for the down time. No they cannot give me back time to go farm that sword for my DK, but over all, they have made my game time enjoyable. Guess I will not scream too hard at something they are trying very hard to fix.

Arthas was smarter than we realized. He created the expansion and destroyed the world... of warcraft.

We ran into some database issues during our pulling our hair out session which will require a ton of downtime. We have no current solution for this issue and another ETA will be given for a new problem we create fixing this one, however, we will provide an update within the hour.




Fixed
