How much server downtime is acceptable these days?
if you pay for a game, you expect at least 90 % of the game to be running smoothly and maybe a few glitches now and then.
Maybe Trion released the game to soon?!?!.

well what i've seen from them is that their down time normally lasts 1 to 3 hours max

First time the servers are down since I'm started to play this game (PC) a week ago. Why complain about a MMO with no monthly fees when the servers are down? Yes, it is annoying but I know MMO's with montly fees that suffer a lot more of this type of issues.
Just wait till those shtakko servers are back online!
It's better to die fighting for freedom than to live life in chains.
I have two complaints about the Servers being down. 1) The Server status forum has no entry about the Servers being down. Whether for maintenance, emergency repairs, patch in progress, etc. There is nothing. 2) In many of the MMOs I play or have played, there is a page on the MMO's Web Site that indicates Server Status. That would help when you try to run the client and connect to the Game. Is the failure to connect due to the Servers being down, or is there a network problem? If there was a Server Status Page, I could know what's going on quickly.
The Game is fun, and it is up most of the time for me. I would like more communication when they have taken it down. This one is more complicated than most by supporting three platforms (PC, X-Box, & PS2), and I appreciate the desire to fix problems as quickly as possible. But, you would think that they could spare one staff member for a little while to provide an update on the forums. Other MMOs even have a Community Manager tasked to this job.
Keep up the good work, but try to keep us better informed.
They do announce that the game will be down for so and so and in-game there is a message saying that the game will close (there is like 45min warning in-game)Originally Posted by SWMacrae

keep calm and chive on, folks.... maybe log onto facebook for a few minutes while you wait. Send a message to your mom, she'll love it.
maybe this is the plan to make us all watch defiance the series on the syfy channel? (uk members only)
Ok so lets go ahead and get this straightened out k?
Don't blame xbox....don't blame PS (even tho I think playstation is worthless..imo)...don't blame PC...in fact DONT BLAME ANYONE!!!! Its called BUGS!!!! Hell even WoW (yeah you know the MMO that looks like a cartoon and is so easy a 5 year old can master it?) after bein out for what like 5 or 6 years still has times where the servers will have issues and crash/have critical errors. welcome to the wonderful world of mmos and servers. ****ako happens got me? (yes I knw it was a terrible joke...) Its a new game, with new ideas, and ALOT of players. hell im surprised the servers havnt been crashing more often then they do know, in fact im surprised that they even bother to tell us that they are having problems (most MMO companies will wait 12-24 hrs before even saying "Oh yeah by the way we have server probs"). So pls stop complaining about the lil things. go get some lovin from ur wife or girlfriend, spend some time with your kids...or go finish off that box of twinkies you've been staring at this whole time...yeah im talking to you mr biggums. Personally, I don't care how long they take, why don't i care? cause eventually all this down time will lead to a better game which leads to a better gaming experience.
K, im done, you can go back to eating your twinkies mr biggums
Is it "normal" for a mmo to have problems at launch? Well I guess it is. Then again, its normal not to be happy that you cant play the game you paid for. I've played many mmo at launch, and unless this one was your first, you expected it.
But I think the main point that is not acceptable, is having no information whatsoever with what's happening. A dev and a single entry saying "we're sorry, we've encountered problems with the patch. We are working as far as possible, but we have no ETA right now" would go a long way. Ignoring the community does not.
I like the game so far, and I'd hate to see people go away because of this (it would be extreme though. I'm not letting that get in the way of enjoying the game)
Jack why don't you read the forum before you making post like this
