    Is the thread title sarcasm? I went to the page and i dont see anything answered other than the normal apology for downtime.

     

    Anyone able to copy/paste?

    Strongly misleading threat title and broken link to boot.

    Sorry bout that, for some reason MMORPG.com kept switching it to HTTPS, instead of HTTP. Dunno why. Had to manually change it back.

    I suspect that they will lose players more to their nonexistent customer relations and crappy attitude than to the state of the game.

    People will tolerate quite a lot if the devs give them faith in the future of the project and interact well with players.  Look at Towns.  It is a good example of how it can swing both ways.

    This company though... 0.o

    Do they even have a clue?

    The Steam forum is an example of moderating idiocy; the Facebook comment wasn't even worth writing.  In fact it was counter productive. On the whole the silence is deafening.

    We can thank them for giving us plenty of popcorn posts though :P

    The=And it's not their first game, nor MMO, as Darkfall 1 happened, and failed, because of this exact thing. Yet they don't care. They have 48 staff members, according to Wiki / their website.

     

    Yet, during the course of 7 days, not a single person could post more than "We know there are issues. Please wait"

     

    Not to mention the post, was infact longer.

    More of this story comes to light:

     

    "Dear Community,

    We apologize for the crashes and rollbacks. We are working hard to fix this. There were some unforseen circumstances that caused these outages. This small patch that we will apply sometimes today. This patch will addres some of those crashes but we will continue to work hard to eliminate them completely.

    I'm sorry we were not communicating with you over the past few days. We have been really busy and working hard on the upcoming patch that will add markets to the game as well as some of the dungeons. It's taking us slightly longer than anticipated, but you can expect those to be ingame within next couple of weeks at the latest.

    Here are patch notes for the upcoming patch (ETA few hours):
    - Various performance optimizations
    - Fix for some server crashes
    - Fixed that one floating tree by the Hill Giant Spawn next to Valley Of The Kings

    Thanks again for your patience and support, we will keep you updated on the progress in more details next time."

     

    This was the original post on Facebook. 30 minutes later, it was changed to what you see now. The original post wouldn't have been so bad, it's more than this, but why change it? What happened? Did they think they could no longer do it?

    This is a total side project for them and always has been.  They are doing a lot of other stuff and running this off the side of their desks - that is totally evident.

    It is very apparent that they have an issue with the servers, but it is NOT acceptable to have a game in its retail state have these issues.  I enjoy the game very much, and I will continue to play, AFTER! they fix the server crashes.. let me take that back, after they fix the roll back issue!  I understand crashes will happen... but the roll backs, oooooooooooooooooooh the roll backs :(

    I was doing a kill 150 feat and was at 142 when the system crashed... they rolled back and I was back at 35 :/

    I feel for you there - that shit is already mind numbing boring already; but to have to do it all over again....

    The sad thing is, as a sandboxer and PvPer, I kind of want to try this game.  I don't really see it as the perfect sandbox tbh, but it could be fun.  These issues though make me unwilling to shell out the box price + sub fee.  I'm sure I'm not alone, too.

    Right now, its a good sandbox. 3 months down if they keep it updated, then we could possibly see the perfect sandbox.

    What is sandbox about it except for being able to ride wherever you want to almost?  The game still tells you to kill 150 mobs for "xp".  What else is sandbox?  Any and all buildings or spots to build or put housing are all 100% pre-determined.  Not bashing at all - but genuinely curious what is sandbox about it?  There is potential to be a sandbox-lite game but the sand needs to actually be put in around the "pre-defined" bumpers that are indeed there.

    Yeah, I dunno if it's really want I want out of a sandbox game.  Open PvP sure, but what else is there if you're uninterested in joining a large PvP guild to fight all day?  A good sandbox should have excellent PvP systems.. alongside everything else.  Darkfall doesn't seem to have anything else.  I could be wrong.
