VIP subscription wasting away during this massive lag

[wolfdy]

Is anything gona be done about the massive lag we're experience on the 64-bit servers?

I payed for VIP to enjoy the new servers and half the time i wanna play the game i can't, either because the lag is unbearable or because i was alrdy pushing against it all day and am alrdy tired of doing so

Im saying this because theres lag every single day at any hour of the day and i think the bulk of transfers are alrdy done, i see no hope in the horizon atm unless something changes on SSGs side

Are we going to get a VIP extension during this Lag heavy period or something? its getting quite frustrating atm and i feel like i payed just to not play the game.

Ditto!

I am, unfortunately, NOT expecting to get my money's worth for VIP in the month of august. Crippling servers to the point of unplayable for the sake of expediting transfers because SSG failed to plan and test properly is just not good business.

Expecting compensation from an incompetent team is like asking for it to not snow in Central Northern Canada. It won't happen. Lag is just a feature of the game, has been for the last 10 years, and will continue to be so 10 years from now. (If It's even around then, this lag and new server may be what breaks the camels back). Just enjoy the laggy ride for what it is, a broken, but somehow still enjoyable mess.

I can't even do maintenance on my kids. Its just a hot mess.

This is why I enjoyed playing solo on a dead server. No lag. No drama.

I wish I had stayed on Sarlona. At least I would be able to play. But they definitely need to extend our VIP subscriptions. The game is unplayable during prime time.

I'm sure they will give VIP extra days. But it all depends on when the servers are playable again. At that time they know how long they need to extend everyone's VIP

They won't give any compensation. They gave us the glorious Ottos and 10% xp for the weekend we can't play. That's generous even for them.

Well they disabled the transfers yet the game is unplayable atm still. frustrating is putting it lightly

Gave us the ability to *purchase* Ottos...

I would think they are going to offer a free month of VIP at some point. If you need it great. If you want to gift it to a friend even better...

 

[Jack Jarvis Esquire]

I reckon there should be an extended period of VIP bonus up to 4 weeks at as much as 20% to compensate for all the disruption to play from both transfers and lag.

That would allow a significant opportunity for folks to catch up, and target VIP proportionately to the amount of time lost (as those playing more to take advantage will bye en large also be those who's play was most disrupted).


But I'd also just settle for them fixing Magic Fang.

 

[Neon Puce]

They should make rerolls free in all content including the xpac for as long as the lag went on.

Also some gold rolls, which I hear can fix the hole in the ozone layer.

If they fix the lag ofc.

Been playing since 2006. Don't expect anyone in the current game management team to care one bit unless they see revenue take a hit or they get sued. I had expected better from Tolero but most of the others only care about themselves and a paycheck.

Careful talking bad about specifc people, they're banning people from the forums now too, for criticizing specific SSG people.

Can't get banned from a game that is unplayable anyway

No surprise.

I read daybreak games was the reincarnation of sony online entertainment. (SOE) Forum bans after smedley screwed the pooch on SWG's curb/nge, was the default mode for dealing with player's observations. Backfired though. Attracted attention from the big guys, got written up about in several industry pubs.

The internet truly is forever.

 

[Jack Jarvis Esquire]

Well, when it comes to bans, I reckon SSG/Cordovan does a pretty good job.

Certainly any time I've been banned, it's been well deserved, and fairly handled, so no complaints here.

Only issue I have was letting some of the dodgy geezers back onto the new forum when it started, but that may have been as much a technical matter as anything else, and everyone deserves a second chance too, I guess.

I do not consider telling the truth to be talking bad about someone. I was on Mournlands for a very long time and became friends with some of the people who left or were let go so I have had a pretty good view of the inner workings. There are things I could say from Facebook interactions with certain SSG folk but will keep that to myself. I do hope they turn things around.

I cancelled VIP on two accounts last night. It runs out in a couple of weeks. If lag isn't fixed by then, I couldn't care less if there's compensation. My friends are already losing patience with SSG. And if they aren't playing, I have zero reason to be here.
