Someone has to be the voice for the server. And its hard to give up after all the money I've spent there. They are just waiting for us to walk away, why else is this taking so long. While it might be true they just wont fix it at all and leave it in the currupt state it is, at least when you use google it comes up in a search and people see that it can take almost 3 months to fix something.

as much as I hate to say it, if GF isn't gonna actually support the server, they might as well just shut it down...or sell Thalia to another company that WILL support it, or even move the physical server back to AU ffs...

I'm waiting for when they decide to host the US servers over in Germany with the EU servers...

Well, on behalf of Thalia I sent an email to the address I once before had success in getting a response from Gameforge so we'll see how it goes. I would be highly embarrassed if I was the one in charge of checking server status for various regions. In fact, if it was me and I "forgot" to check it and left it off for 3 months then I would get fired for doing such a lousy job.

Hint hint gameforge, you're doing a crappy job over here.
Please don't edit my post either because they need to know it, not everything is flowerbeds and roses.

Miss those days on Tahlia though

Last check, Hoto Easy, DL, ZS, DOD, WA, GC, KT, Sardo still closed after what 3 months ?. And I didnt bother wasting any more transport runes to check all the others. There is only so much "fun" you can have with half a game.

I find it surprising that Thalia is still open...

Someone at GF should do honor thing and stop all this pain... or as someone sugested, sell RoM rights for AU to some local company.

It is easy for those not using the server to say close it. But hey Lets close Reni and Govinda cause the population there now is 1/2 of what it was 2 years ago. Or how about we close the US server one after another each time a login server goes down.

Closing Thalia isn't the answer, fixing it is the answer.

Gameforge are their own worst enemy here, Thalia lost most of it players cause of how they managed it, and that drove people away, they are still managing it poorly and is why its been broken for 3 months and also why we can't retain the odd few new players that turn up. Even if we give those new players a leg up with some slightly better gear to quest in or help them quest or even power level them we just can't keep players cause unlike those of us that spent/spend money there these new player wont spend or support it when on day 1 they see it broken.

Gameforge have an opportunity to try a NEW business model on the server to stimulate it's growth.

It's not just instances that are broken, but we often miss out on happy hours and sales cause either they are set to USA times or just not enabled. The recent Class Expansion ticket never appeared on sale there, the recent Cat Errent potion never appeared on sale either.

Anyhow, it doesn't help Thalia with people saying close it.

Me done doth agrees wit yer. In truth, me doth feelers so badly fer how yer done hast been treated, me twas thinkin that maybers iffn we gots all the US servers tergether ta "boycott" by paradin thru Varanas Central, they might feel inclined ter do somethin fer yer. But then the cynic in me thinketh that the rest o the servers most likely no care. After all, tis what Gameforge done doth do.

Quite frankly, I didn't see anyone from other servers run in circles when Osha had only 1 channel for ages, neither do I see it for Reni currently, or for the periodic Artemis problems.[*] After all, what exactly do you wish to accomplish by such a parade? Except maybe crashing some players out as an unintended side effect.

*except a certain someone with a permanent lack of caffeine chasing me around in circles all the time - triangular circles, even more...

Does the situation on Thalia suck? Yes.
So does it on Reni and the periodic problems on Artemis (or on Siochain/EU which problems are mimic'd by Artemis).
So did the SW problems on EU for the last 2months with it being on/off while under constant fixing attempts (It seems to have finally worked - for now.)

IT definitely knows about the issue (and the other IT related issues too) and as far I'm being told they do have certainly a plan to fix all of it. How exactly, and when - I don't know and if I knew I probably wouldn't be allowed to tell.

If I get any updates I'll surely let you know but so far there is not much news to tell, therefore also a lack of official comments to the Thalia matter in particular.

@ SaitoHajime -

You can't seriously compare the way AU players, who invested their time and money in game got screwed by GF move to lower cost of hosting and in process killing given server to US server status?!

Wonder would GF figure out that move is not that smart if they move both EU and US servers to AU to lower cost of hosting.

Someone has done this and everyone is keeping eyes wide shut on this issue for ages... no one cares - no money to be made, apparently...

I feel terrible to all those who ever invested money on AU server. Makes you wonder before getting dias here in USA if in future cost-saving move GF might move servers in Europe...

@Gorgar -

You made me feel bad about my comments. Really sorry for all AU players.

At least Osha and Reni could/can run dungeons. For Artemis' issues, the number of times I logged into IRC to let a GM/FM/Whatever M know about the "not being able to log in" speaks volumes to the problems we experienced. As for gathering as a group in Varanas, doing so DOES effect change. You may not have been here for it, but if you were, try to remember the % mana issue for casters. It took 2 days of logging in and gathering in Varanas to get RW to fix it. So, by all that is good in your nature, goad the IT team. Tell them it is time to step up their game and get Thalia's dungeons open.

Lol. Because 1 channel is totally the same as random moves to unplayable ping, a dozen instances closed for months, and a general "piss off" message to an entire server.

I especially liked that 1 channel comment. Saito, did you know that AU has had 1 channel since the beginning of chapter 4?

For a number of years, even when we had a lot of players on the server, we had 1 channel and you are seriously talking about channel issues in comparison to AU?

Talk about a whole new low.

Couldn't have said it better Borella, if it wasn't for the server move and then the general don't like it then piss off attitude of Gameforge then I would still be playing. I might even have considered moving servers if they could have offered me something anything to show that that actually cared about me/us as a customer.

Thousands of dollars spent over the years on my toon/alts as well as the other half spending her time money etc only to have our server basically wiped with no concern.

Toon transfer is impossible, ok fine I've heard that enough now to believe it will never happen but never have they offered any kind of cookie to say thanks for all you've spent with us over the years. How about offering SOMETHING, ANYTHING at all to entice players to start all over again on another server?

Please hold your call is important to us and we will answer shortly.... seems to be the GF mantra

Gorgar props to you for sticking it out, I just couldn't do it. Refusing to spend anything on a Gameforge product and that includes my time.

DL - Now Open Normal Mode
ZS - Now Open Normal Mode
Dod - Now Open Normal Mode
WA - Now Open Normal Mode
GC - Now Open Normal and Hard Mode
KT - Now Open Normal Mode
Sardo - Still Closed.

I didn't check Easy modes at the time, I didn't have the free time to do that.

But I am happy enough with that for now, I can finaly work on Titles, and Set Skills for my new Warden. That will keep me busy for some time.

Epic awesome... 5 months to fix it

a few minutes to break/close again!
Good work
oh and LOL

Quoted from "Yrcanos"

I have received word back that the issue preventing the instances being opened on Thalia is still present.
Therefore, Thalia instances will remain closed. (Sorry it's not what you wanted to hear.)

When Thalia's instances are re-opened, I will try to make sure it's announced so you guys know about it rather than discovering it by accident.
