As sony decides to not only bring the servers down but lock us out for 90 minutes during the release day of Diablo 3. They are only hurting themselves.
Evil is waiting…
Soe and their most wonderful decisions = shrugs =. Just thinking to myself what in the world they’ve broken this time. So much downtime these past few months makes someone want to switch games for sure out of pure necessity to have something stable reliable to play. I think Soe should offer more vet rewards or a compensation package for all the trouble and inconvenience they put us through.. We pay good money each month for this? Sadly, I dont see that happening at all.
Sheesh, it was a regular tuesday patch for EQ2. They did add some backend updates so more stuff went offline during the downtime. You make it out like it’s random downtimes for random durations.
They’ve been messing with the login servers quite a bit recently. At a guess, I’d say it’s ‘something’ related to preparation to sellin off, excuse me ‘transitioning’ our Euro’s over to ProSat 🙁
