WOW!
Chill
Your
Rolls

CCP will get us taken care of.
Server will come back up.
Apology will be given.
Lost time will be rectified.

Kind of their M.O.

Would be more helpful to cheer on the poor tech who currently has a CCP exec mouth breathing behind him going:
"Any update"
"Not yet sir/madam"
"any update now"
"in the last 5 seconds ... no"

I am currently away, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Do you know the other rules? I'm surprised some of us are still alive.

Let me fix that for you, 55 pages of bitchin'.



It is not 55 pages of bitchin'. It is 55 pages of concerns from paying customers. Customers pay for a service that is not being rendered.



Nah, it's 55 (now over 60) pages of bitching. In order to play, everyone agreed to the EULA. Here's the magic part.

Quote:
The Software, System, Game and all Game Content, and all other services and material provided in connection therewith, are provided "AS IS," with all faults, and without warranty of any kind. You assume all risk of use and all risk associated with accessing the System and playing the Game.

CCP disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including without limitation the warranties of merchantability, fitness for particular purpose and non-infringement. There is no warranty against interference with your enjoyment of the Game. CCP does not warrant that the operation of the System or your access to the System, or that your use of the Software, will be uninterrupted or error-free, nor that the System or Software will be compatible with your hardware and software.

While CCP attempts to have the System available at most times, CCP does not guarantee that the System will always be available, or that the System will not become unavailable during Game play. The System may become unavailable for a number of reasons, including without limitation during the performance of maintenance to the System, for the implementation of new software, for emergency situations and due to equipment or telecommunications failures.


So yes, as is, CCP is still well within the legal agreement you (and everyone else) made with them. If you dislike this, I'd recommend either cancelling your account (and EULA agreement), or traveling to Iceland to attempt to contest the EULA in the appropriate legal venue. If you choose the latter, good luck with that.

Just stay up late next time it's up, all sorted



Actually, if you read your licensing agreement, if it's boilerplate, as most are, you can't expect any compensation at all, even if it's off for a month, or goes out of business.

Paying for a 'subscription' is always a risk, for the consumer, not the company. Load up your C64 emulator and play a rousing game of M.U.L.E., or practice your LOGO coding? Hell, I still play around on GEOS, though it's on a C128 with a real 1581/1541, and Lt. Kernel 20MB hard drive. (That was considered infinite, back in the days. :)


M.U.L.E. rocked!

-The server is down again...
-Yeah, man...we should be compensated. Or something.
-You know, they should try switching it on and off, it should help.
-Sure, but I am talking about some free stuff - you know, like new skins...or Gecko's BPO...we are losing $$$...
-You right, 4 hrs is something like $0.08.
-Right, they steal your money, what are we paying for...
-I bet they are not in a hurry to fix it, they should try it on Singularity first...or something...
-That's right, no respect for the customer, $0.08 is a fair chunk of moolah...
-At least they should try rolling it back...they have to have something to do that...
-But I would lose some SPs...they better fix it or I will put a petition in...
-What the hell is happening with these guys...
-Yeah, why should we lose time and $0.08...now maybe $0.09...
-This is not acceptable..and what do they mean by "unscheduled" ?
-I will be back in 2 min 35 sec - hope they fix it by then.
-Cheers, me too.

I'm gonna sum up the two major factors of this thread so far for those just joining us.

"Server is down for more then 15 minutes? GIVE ME FREE STUFF GOD DAMN BLAH BLAH BLAH!"

"Server is down for more then 15 minutes? Time to go argue with the trolls on the forums."

and then a rare third party as myself or those doing the drinking game.

"Server is down for more then 15 minutes? Booze and Popcorn anyone?"
