This has been going on alot longer than 2 months was never this bad 2 years ago but all the bitching and whining isnt gona speed anything up. Not like there actually worried about how up set we are yano? Personaly im over it im tired of getting mad about all the money i was paying and never getting in the game on update days. So instead of bitch and complaing to LL who dont really care i tierd down there not getting the big chunk of my money anymore. Guess what they could care aless and unless all of ya had the marbles to do the same thing this will never change. Anyway i found a great game to play that FREE and is very cool so ya i still play here just not like i use to and i wont give them the money i use to so im happy and thats all that matters check out www.silkroadonline.net awesome game and 100% free :D

None of my ISPs ever have... and they've all been major providers.


The trick is you have to ask for it. I've gotten so many free months out of time warner cable I don't even know why I bother paying anymore, I should just call up and bitch once a month (they do give excellent service, I think twice in a 6 month period I was w/o internet for 2 days apiece and I got something like 3 months free out of it.

Mine have. Cox, Adelphia and Roadrunner in the last 4 years have gone down a few days and credited me with a few days (Adelphia did so without even calling to check on the problem).

My Vonage went down for a few hours once, I was credited a whole day.

EQ2 went down for a whole weekend, and they gave bonus XP for a week, a week of credit.

I am a paying customer, and the outage does not upset me at all. However, I am a tech and understand that bugs (from minor to disasterous) happen. If you're so upset, you should call LL and scream at them to refund your money.

...oh wait


If your a paying customer and a "tech" (LMAO), then you should understand what it means to have downtime every wendsday while STILL PAYING YOUR MONEY, and then on top of that, instead of fixing bugs in SL they just create mor-

I'm a paying customer and I'm furious.

Europe is getting the short end of the stick -- again.

Yes and after you have been in a game where they give you no info no updates it really makes you appreciate a world where they keep you informed and give frequent updates.

yup yup

How about this, instead of going down for whole days, what about implementing small fixes every morning for an hour or two. Much more stable, and when there is a bug, much more easy to pinpoint?

Nope, can't have that! We must have down Wednesday forum troll day!

After reading everyone's responses I succumb to the peer pressure, my heartfelt apologies as I retract my earlier statments and go back to chewing my fingernails and twitching uncontrollably as well. :o

Truth I'm just way more addicted to the forums than to SL these days.

People are going to complain about any downtime, ever. An afternoon of downtime will cause as much outcry as a few morning hours' worth of downtime.

LOL IPX is a basically a phone router that most call centers use, I know one day when our NAS took a dump ours got so overloaded it just shut down and flipped us the bird. All our customers ended up getting our voicemail.

Bet that sucked for them lol.

UO was never down for more than 15 hours a week for a constant 6 months.

I do remember a nasty patch for a couple of weeks, but nothing that comes close to 15/6.

And considering how old UO is, and how pioneering it was (it's engine was built ground up), there would be problems starting out. But it doesn't go down that like 3 years after it was released.

I wonder if they bring the grid up a little after it's all fixed, so that all the Lindens can get online by themselves for a party, or to snicker at some of the more obscure builds... :D
