So on a day when so many people in the US have an extra 8 or 10 hours to quest, grind, farm for vendor gear, run instances and SO MANY other things, Gameforge decides it's good day for system maintenance. Myself, I could have volunteered at work and got paid DOUBLE TIME, but I wanted to work on tiering stones and statting some of my gear. <Never mind, Grump. We appreciate your participation in the game, but we know that you won't mind losing FIVE HOURS for something we SHOULD HAVE DONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT in order to minimize the number of folks negatively affected. Thank you for understanding that we only try to negatively impact the MAXIMUM number of people, in order to keep it fair for EVERYONE.>

COme on GF- think about it, will you? :monster:

Listen dude. I'd rather have the game fixed, then f'd up. Who cares, go watch fireworks have a cookout drink and spend time with your family. Go celebrate Independence day.

I tell you, they just don't understand the great American tradition of celebrating the (effective) national birthday by grinding tier stones. Silly europeans!

.

I'm going with it was a rapidly (in the world of coding that is) created patch/fix and is being implemented as soon as they have it ready, ie now.

The general sentiment on the forums is fix it now.

This thread just goes to the Damned if you do, damned if you don't concept. :crazy:

"Go watch fireworks" doesn't really apply in the morning or even mid day.. Regardless of your opinion on the matter, this is a stupid time to do maintenance. Like most of the decisions they make. They should have done it overnight.

You do realize they will fix the same amount of stuff they fix on regularly scheduled Tuesday 5-hour shut-downs, which is pretty close to zilch. Maybe the quest to turn in the four letters in the main quest chain, which only broke in the last week. Well actually, that's not true, It was broke the day they opened the zone. What really "Broke" was the work-around they installed so they wouldn't have to fix it. Don't begin to think the game will be unbroken when they come back online.

PS- You should have used <than> which is a comparative conjunction, not <then> which is a noun referring to a previously defined future or past time

NO, you're wrong b/c they're "patching it" patch 6.0.1 the others are regular maint. they use "patches" to fix thigns in game" not regualr maint.

Who's to say the patch was ready overnight? You're wrong to assume they've had a patch for a while, they prolly jsut got it which is why they're implementing it now.

This is one of the few times that I have zero issue with the downtime, whenever and for however long. Let's be glad that the issue's of the last few weeks which have taken up more than their fair share of forum space are now hopefully being addressed in the new patch in a decisive and timely manner.

It's hot in here...

If this is the first opportunity to fix the game because they just figured out how to fix it, this is ok. But if they could have done it in an off time earlier this is very poor planning.

Well i agree with Gigi on this, they probably got the patch this morning, for once they made an announcement about the patch as an emergency fix on the forums and all, we've been asking for those communications skills, here they are, tyvm.

They could take out the server for the day, i couldn't care less, get rid of those idiots who did this, Nutsack and Düngsack since they obviously never cares about anyone else, but they were doing it for the good of the game, GTFO losers.

Ya it is Independance day, a day to be spent with family, have a cook out, a BBQ, invite friends over and enjoy this gloriuos day. When night comes along go watch the fireworks and enjoy the show.

Nothing is stupid about this maintenance at all, except the ones who think it is, i don't want the servers off for 1 week, so a few hours is fine.

Happy 4th of July to all our American friends!!! Be safe and don't drink and drive people ;-(

i am in no mean against a fix, but.

i've been playing games for long enough game that has ANTI-cheat client wich is actually way more than RoM just by the fact of having an ANTI-cheat.

even on those games there would be hacker and eventually they would update the anti-cheat client, but hackers would update their hack to be able to bypass it. so i don't know what GF decided to do.. but it's probably gonna be useless. to counter hacking you need a lot of knowledge of what you're doing.. wich i'm sorry they don't. (i don't either) but i don't think GF will actually be able to fix this permanently. if they can or did then i'm sorry for that posts but that's what i had on my mind.
