Tenetke Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey. Guy. The announcement said it was the 28th. Tell me, dearie, what is the date? Oh, that's right. The 28th. You're right there, sonny. They're way off course. Boy I'm going to enjoy trolling you the next time their schedule doesn't go exactly as stated. In fact, I'm adding you to friends for just so a fun occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hah! I figured I was the only one. Though I was watching the clock and it wasn't exactly unexpected. For me it was WHAM! 15 through 3 minutes left at at once. Then counted normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieAlteHexe Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Heh, yup. I was wondering although I kept an eye on the clock. Was heading to a cantina and when I landed, I got the whole list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxxian Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) They never going to cancel the maintenance 6-8 hours time ! Why ?! How would they implement more bugs in to the game otherwise ?! Think for a second !!! Unless its done weekly - its impossible to archive ! Wow way to jump to conclusions. I am fully aware that maintenance is required once a week...been experiencing that for the 7 years I have played MMO's. I was not complaining...just expressing my experience and thoughts Edited February 28, 2012 by Maxxian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaggedOne Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 A bunch of us on the Fleet were going "Hey, it's like 11 till and no warning...whassup?", and we kept talking as the time went down...finally got to like 0158 and we had just about decided that they were gonna skip it, when BAM - major shutdown warning spam !!!! I thought it was uproariously funny, but I immeiately came to the forums to how many msgs were posted about it, and how many slope-headed troglodytes were crying and moaning about how inconvenienced and screwed over they had just been by Evil Ole Blizz. And I was right. Haven't found a post yet that demands a day or a month of free play time for repayment of said indignities, but with the number of lowlifes that come on here to whine (most of which probably don't even play any more), tis only a matter time...

AwKwarrd Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 lol it's kind of funny. I made a post about it because the order is all messed up too. I'm fairly certain someone started drinking early this morning and just didn't stop. Check out the countdown order. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/417295_928084085319_42813289_37493450_713461323_n.jpg haha omg thats what i got too.. wow.. just wow...

FarseerTera Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 To be fair guys the times are laid out for almost a full week before maint. Yes sometimes they are on a wednesday sometimes a tuesday but IT DOES SAY WHAT DAY IT IS ON! Also maint. starting late?! That's a bonus for you not something that should be expected and then qq over when you don't get it. If main. begins 8am GMT and at that point you have not prepared yourself for server shutdown on the off chance you might get an extra hour of playtime then you have only yourself to blame. Yes it's not ideal that you were given next to no warning but neither is it ideal that you did not prepare for maint. that was posted for almost a week. Christ! Get a grip people!

ussrmdk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I loved office space, reminded me of the times I worked for walmart, where they promoted lazy people in my store, and told people who are good at thier job, that they couldnt be promoted cause they where to valuable in thier position. store #197 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why anyone would get mad about it. Except for that one guy being a dick last page, (and I fully plan to troll him so much ammunition from his attacks on spelling to timing) everyone seems to just be getting a good laugh about it.

Valethar Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Something might have gone wrong with the notification system. Such systems are not perfect, nor fool-proof. In other words, **** happens. Oh, it was fairly apparent that something did go wrong. After watching the count go from 5 to 10 to 15 minutes, then start counting down rapidly from there, I'd say it's a clear case of an 1D10T error occurring in the PEBKAC module on their server. They can probably fix that to some degree by calling up the console, and entering DECAF at the C: prompt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussrmdk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 When humans are involved, mistakes are made. Correct, but alot of these "mistakes" have been repeated, and the lack of communication to the community, and customer service has exacerbated(sp?) the issue.
