Calm down...

  • Quote

Post by willhaversham »

Some of the people in this community have let themselves down in the last 24 hours. Yes we know the servers have been down. Yes we know the servers can be unstable. Yes we know it's a minor irritation to fire up the game and not be able to connect to ESO.

REALITY CHECK.

The official AOE Twitter account confirmed that they were attempting to resolve the issue. They did a decent job of making us aware of updates. The servers were up again after approximately 24 hours. They're back down. These professionals are not perfect. They don't owe you anything - you've probably already got your value from the game. I got the game like 10 years ago and have almost 2000 hrs play time. New people probably got the game for about $10...

These people are professionals who manage servers, have technical skills and are trying their best whilst some of you pile unnecessarily expectations on when you want the servers back up, because you can't even go 24 hrs without a fix...

Tbh for the amount of money this game still makes (see my projections in the other thread) I think that they could dedicate a bit more of their resources to keeping the servers stable.

Your projections are extremely vague estimates and should not be taken as fact

They do owe us something. Dont act like every player has 2000hrs into the game. Microsoft hasnt given a shit about aoe3 and its about time they do something about it.

Until such time as they announce an official shutdown it is reasonable to expect the servers to always be up barring server maintenance and for it to be announced that they are down. That's my opinion.

I think the fact that they get harassed whenever the servers go down will lead to them permanently shutting down

Nice posts, including the next one which I can't quote since I'm on mobile. At this point you're just baiting and baiting staff into so called 'harassment' so you can screenshot it and use it as an argument any time you get banned. Could you please calm down and start acting like a regular member again?

It's very intriguing how much backlash there is when it's suggested the servers will permanently be shut down. It's like a nightmare for some people here, who's ego depends on the game.

No, it's just saying things concluded out of thin air constantly with no logical back-up. Plus2Joe just announced that they were going to implement an alarm system for such temporary shutdowns, and yet you tirelessly imply the opposite. People can get annoyed with such behaviour, it's natural, not a conspiracy against you :chinese:

Not pulled from thin air, logical reasoning and connections with insiders lead us to our conclusions.

Unless your insider information is someone above plus2joe, who has told us that he is on top of it and is setting up systems to make sure it doesn't happen again - you're wrong.

All that you are doing by posting this everywhere is devaluing your own word. People see your posts preaching the end and soon realize that you're quite wrong. Later on then, when you are preaching something else - they'll readily dismiss it.

Preach what you will, but if you aren't preaching the truth - reality check - you'll be ignored and your word will have no value.

It's obvious you and frenchman are upset that pretty much everybody ignores and rejects you here.

It's hard to be much more wrong than this
