    WTF is wrong with this company? Lazy is what I call this. You don't even have a large population compared to other games. This is ridiculous

    This is what happens when you cut corners to save money. This is what happens when you host servers on unvetted, cheaper infrastructure. It's not safe to play this game anymore, it's not safe to invest time.

    LOL, I just finished the collect portion of a Bonus daily HA in record time and as soon as I noticed trade window wasn't opening up with turn in npc I hit that f11. Disappointing to say the least. :(

    I doubt anyone on the team is "Lazy". It's more likely they are understaffed and unable to find the root cause(s) of the issues. Bugs that happen every time I do X->Y->Z are easy to find and squish. Bugs that happen infrequently with no apparent cause are not.

    Walk a mile in their shoes before ...

    Oh my God. I can't imagine how some of you react in real life when you fall on hard times. Game goes down for 5 minutes and it's the end of the world. Grow up. 20 year old game, understaffed, overworked developers doing their best -- most likely from home.

    Windance this game has been around 21 years and it functions like a game that is in its first year. You would think after 21 years you could fix the bugs, right? It's not a complicated game compared to what is out there. I will agree they could be understaffed and if that is the case then shame on the greedy aholes who aren't hiring the people who are needed to keep this game functional.

    21 years of code built upon on top of older code which is yet built up on top of older code ..

    If you think its soo easy.. Get get hired by them an be the change you want to see in the world (of norrath) ..

    Simple.

    Do you code? If you do, do you even know old languages for coding? People get older and evolve code doesn't just "evolve" over time and get better

    That's cool you've been playing that long, have been playing many years off and on myself, started in 1999 shortly after this game came out -- far from a newbie, dude. And my comment wasn't necessarily directed at you but the people who are quick to blame admins and accuse them of being "lazy" which is just stupid and rude. These people working in the gaming industry likely put in more effort than what they are paid for and then have to deal with people that want to belittle their efforts in keeping this 21 year old game alive.

    Server crashing may have to do with the server company they use. It may not have to do with programing. In that case it is likely out side their control. Today I lost my game, and out side I see the truck for my ISP doing maintenance on my neighborhood cable box.
