I got that error a lot yesterday. Sounds like the hackers are at work, but no worries - your credit card info is safe
Not saying your statement is a empty threat; but honestly - SoE doesn't care if you stay or go. You're not the first, and certainly won't be the last to either say you are going to quit, or are in fact quitting. I'm pretty sure since the release of TDS, SoE has probably lost about 1000 accounts collectively - maybe more, maybe less - who knows. Their chief focus is on EQN, not EQ.
EQ barely has any game outages... complaining about it is silly because they just don't happen that often.
Unrelated? Them other games are the reason Eq gets no resources anymore. It's all related, postage stamp sized content + other problems = people quit, some of them want to spend their free time in a good mood and not in a struggle for survival.
Marvel Heroes is a fun diversion when EQ goes wonky. https://marvelheroes.com/registration?pcode=gamegenetics&subid=509082&test=us
That is a fun game; haven't played it in a long time. I think its probably been 2 years; I typically play SWTOR when EQ is having problems. Nothing more fun than chopping people with a lightsaber. They have one of the best F2P systems I have ever seen. http://www.swtor.com/
I don't think its other games that take away resources as much as SOE doesn't want to put resources more resources into EQ because they don't think it is cost efficient. If other games weren't taking away resources SOE would just be retiring/laying off peeps instead.
