Third Times A Charm?

[7itanium]

Well. Blizzard has just announced and taken down almost all of the US and Oceanic realms for the THIRD time this week (and its only saturday).

Sources indicate that the instance server on the Bloodlust battlegroup was having extreme lag issues.... but it is not known why the realms were taken down again as this appeared to have been fixed. It is also unknown why they are taking down most of the other servers as well.

Realms that are down are expected to be under maintenance from 2:00AM PST, untill 7:00 AM PST. (lets hope)


Do you think this maintenence was necessary?

Do you think Blizzard will even fix the problem?

Do you think WoW subscribers should recieve some sort of compensation for missing raids etc during these 2 extra days of maintenance?

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!


happy gaming (or not)!!!

I'd say the maintenance is a good opportunity to go out and enjoy the winter.

^agreed .

[Gash]

if there are problems they need to shut down everything. If they wouldn't shut down everything, ppl would cry aswell

[rudydimacali]

Yeah... I think we should get a couple days or more back of gametime. I'm on cyclone (battlegroup) and I would d/c in the middle of heroics and would be stuck as a ghost in WG for 5+ minutes.

im on Vashj EU (Rampage battlegroup) and it has been affected as well ;o server been down for 2nd or 3rd night in a row... and i can only play friday/saturday night so that rly pisses me off!

What i've heard is that ICC having the issues ? well... i dont care cuz i wont even set my toe in there in a loooooooooong while!

Give back some free days of gametime or i be rly pissed off!

How about I put it this way...Blizz doesn't even know what the hell is going on with the servers anymore.

If any of you have checked the Suggestion forums that blizz doesn't bother to read anymore in the past months, there have been tens of threads and QQs about Thrall - US. The server was crashing constantly druing raid times (or someone was crashing it xD), but the point is that it took them over 4 months to solve the damn problem.

What's the point of free days of gametime when you can't even play cuz the damn servers are down?...

Do you think this maintenence was necessary?
For them to fix it, yes.

Do you think Blizzard will even fix the problem?
They have to :P. Odd Q .

Do you think WoW subscribers should recieve some sort of compensation for missing raids etc during these 2 extra days of maintenance?
Oh hell yes

Blithe idiocy at it's best. "It doesn't matter to me so it doesn't matter. O WAIT there are actually people who do run ICC and zomg, they want the game to work just the same as you.

They don't promise you a full month of game time every month- you are paying to play yes but under their rules and the EULA. --V

"

What do you think they are doing? turning off the servers and wanking? No they are patching the game to fix game play issues, they DON'T have to supplement you with game time, they do so because they feel like it and wish to be nice to the populace.

go outside if you can't handle waiting and perhaps review your life being committed to QQing about the servers being modified to fix some issues.

I think they need to get their act together. Who in their right mind would try interrupt my AV botting?

[Frosty3k]

this is the time when U all realize how addicted U are to wow. so this goes like 3 way as I c it:

1. fk wow, It was getting really boring anyways
2. o..ill just play some other game till they'll fix this thing for good
3. wait for blizz to fix it and get tons of dc's be4 they do(watch wow movies when its down)

It's not you, it's the servers. And not every server is affected.
