I have no plans to renew and that mostly comes down to the absurd attitude towards any of the non-US countries in relation to server shut downs and release schedule. Made to wait for official release. (Australia) Maintenance in prime time. (Expected to pay just as much as elsewhere) Emergency Shutdowns in prime time. Not offered CE. Etc, etc..

Because there is no other software that can handle connections from different client versions.. Sheesh, thats a really silly excuse as to why it cant be done. Putting my derision aside, if they wanted to separate the maintenance schedule it could be done. If they wanted to have Aussies able to play in Prime time at the cost of some early morning gamers in the US/EU, it could be done. They have chosen to shaft Aussies because of their own internal reasons and are using hollow excuses about why it is so!

At least no Americans were put out during this emergency downtime.. Very unimpressed with the maintenance/downtime schedule! Aussie prime so that sleeping Americans are not disturbed.
