Come on people lets be easy now.. Remember what was said in a post from.. I wont say who.... basically saying from the test day they had on Cormyr " We gathered a bunch of data " ..

I am wondering how awesome this data collection was that will help enhance and optimize servers?

Continual carrot in front of the horse, not me though.

Enjoying Diablo 4.. Path of Exile 2 coming out in a few weeks.

What corporate unbrella are those games under, you may want to know that before you get invested in any of the games.

I'm going to be tactful and say the Cormyr grand opening could have gone a bit better???

Will be terribly curious to see how things go tomorrow... 🦍💨

Old players will remember this is exactly what happened when we had epic orchard of the macabre, whole game was down for two-three days. This is just one server and specifically a vip-only server so it doesn't affect everyone. But it affects the collector's edition and patron coffers buyers so I guess it's worse?

I never care who owns games or the politics in a business. All I care about is if I am having fun in the game, and does it run good. Blizzard catches heat for all kinds of stuff , but I never cared. I will still play any game that is fun to play.

I still feel having a server that is supposed to be working better for only a certain class of players is like a slap to the rest of the community of players.

ALL of their servers should be top of the line 64 bit, running smooth.. Not better servers to people who pay a fee. Its just poor business. It wouldnt be too bad if they had functional servers to begin with, but they dont. And they cant even get their new shiny server working well from what I hear.
So glad to finally be away from the nonsense of behind the scenes.
The game itself is awesome, but the servers and the people who manage them are not doing a very good job.

"Not better servers to people who pay a fee"

Can you please explain to me, in economic terms, how those that DON'T pay to play this game deserve the same benefits, services, treatment, etc... than those that do?

Pretend I'm a commu*ist and you want to explain to me the flaws in my thinking.

It's only been up a few hours, but I was chuckling at the idea of paying for premium service being bad business. It's a very common and profitable business practice.

I wouldn´t call a working server a "premium service". That should be the very basic infrastructure for an online game.
And you have to invest money to make money and that´s very true for an online game. If they hope for people to spend money on the game, they need to do their homework first.

Hopefully, the game goes VIP only so that they have the money to make that investment.

If the game goes VIP only they will make a lot less money. DDO already had a mandatory monthly sub and had to go free to play, that was about 17 years ago.

Plenty of premium members who are spending money but not paying for VIP.
