then/than ... no, wait. THIS is the one that gets kittens killed.


Yes Master....

You forgot the punctuation. It's "Yes, Master!"
No soup for you!

Yes.

Also, here is what really happened to the servers.

Nope, it's a bit overused and boring now. Oh well, perhaps some other joke will pop up... Something to do with spaceships and lasers... No wait.

I make YouTube videos and so on... Watch me do silly things here:

Hour Three (Continued)

Thoughts of self harm are now passing, but I find myself filled with rage as the withdrawal symptoms worsen.

Rage, not at CCP, or even the whiners, but mostly at those whom whine about the whiners. (Oh, and that one English major whining about bad grammar!)

Let them whine -- Eve withdrawal is harsh.

The original post has been updated to clarify the situation and the expected duration of the downtime.



OK i know you have problems....IS USUAL...a GOOD COMPENSATION IN ISK/SKILL POINT will be USUAL too.

So why don't you upload YOUR POST telling us we will compensated?!??


Why would it be usual to compensate on something you never promised would be 100% fully functional 100% of the time? When you lose internet connection for 2 hours I bet you're the kinda guy that calls demanding they give you 2 free hours? It's in the EULA that they'll have the game with as much uptime as humanly possible. Hardware is a thing, and it fails. If this took CCP days or weeks to fix it'd be a different story. Until then, quit the whining, and multiposting that you feel oh so entitled.

Hey, if your car breaks down, totally call Ford or Chevy or whoever the manufacturer was, and demand they replace your day without your car. I bet that'll work too
