    Well the title about says it all..............

    I guess we can be (grumbling) grateful were even getting update notices.

    Seems like the latest set of micro patches that have been made created quite a few problems.....get ready to see the "We will have EQ back up and running within the next xx hours/days/weeks..... oops never" message.

    OK so that's just what it feels like when were waiting, lets just hope they can get the gerbils trained quickly, cause the guinea pigs can't even fit into the hamster wheels.

    If I start doing something else, they will fix it. If I sit here and wait, the servers will be down all day.
    Going to do something else! ;)

    ROFLMAO

    Now all we need is a "Da** It Jim, I'm a Doctor not a ______" video link.

    Tried finding one myself but had no luck in the search results.


    EDIT: OK this works a bit for making the point ..... LOL

    Guys, it's only been 17 years, give them some time to get used to the patch process so they can accurately estimate it, okay?

    Whats the reason for the delay?

    This is getting ridiculous- last message was it would be another hour- that message was sent out going on three hours ago and no updates

    Patches we dont need no stinking patches. Sorry that had to be said at some point in this thread as it has in every thread during a patch. What I do not understand is why, back in 1999 using a dial up modem the patch downtime was the same or in many cases shorter than they are today?

    Now now....give them a break. It takes time to properly mess things up. Be patient.

    Did they not try to patch a test server first?
  17. Draego Augur



    Yes this is true.........but I just want them to stop using piles of horse dung to make that mess.............

    I mean IF their programmers cant get it done, then maybe they need to start looking at hiring freelancers......Fyrecaster comes to mind........ to clean crap up and get the game running again.....


    EDIT:
    Sorry ..... programmers is giving credit where it obviously isn't due....... I meant to say code monkeys

    Patches come normally once a month. There is a test server. Why does it seem that they can't find and fix the patch problems before they implement them? You know...make sure to feed the hamster before you put him on the wheel?
