Ok, first off let me say I never rant on forums, so I apologize if this comes off as a jerk move.
As we all know the servers have been down for maintenance (This happens with all MMOs so it’s no surprise)
We also know it was extended a couple of times and as far as I’m concerned, for a brand new game this is still reasonable. This is not to be unexpected; things go wrong with a launch, or even during maintenance. They have said themselves there was a bug they were trying to fix.
No big deal.
What I’m ranting about is the masses of people who were demanding compensation for the downtime, and being pretty damn rude about it.
TERA stated that this is not part of the paid subscription, this is still free time. So why all the anger towards people who are trying to fix a game so you can play without problems?
Personally, I’m in Aus and I was up at 4am to play. I couldn’t. I didn’t get mad, I got coffee – then I looked into it and saw why it was still down and understood that s*** can go bad.
Don’t get me wrong, a lot of people were very nice and understanding about it, and I can understand why some would be a little annoyed. But abusing TERA on twitter and demanding compensation is just stupid.
I’m sorry if this offends, but for a company that is trying to make a great game work for us, save us from bigger issues later on when we -have- paid for time and have so far been fantastic, they are copping a lot of abuse they shouldn’t be.
/end rant
Once again - Sorry. This is just something that really bugged me.
