Who want there money back ( CRITICAL) THE DEFIANCE SERVICE IS NOT AVAILABLE

[Malevolent]

Well said Nova, I too am in the software industry though not gaming, and our development team spend months testing all conceivable operating situations prior to a new release. Sometimes though, certain parameters are met by maybe only one or two of our customers and this triggers a regression bug.
This is probably what has happened in this instance. Our method on this would be to look at the problem and find a work around for those one or two people and then work on a permanent fix. Obviously a work around in a game cannot be applied so the only course of action left open to "Trion Worlds" is to close the servers and fix the issue.

Maybe I have been playing games too long, over 25yrs, but patience is something worth having, so I will sit and wait for the fix and come back tomorrow to play.

Keep up the work "T. W." this is one gamer happy to wait and more than happy with the whole game

Agreed 100%

trion got you money already , from what i have seen in the last month they really dont care about the customers. I stated several times give them 6 month and they will fix the large amount of bugs and problems that the game has. Just give them time they are a very small company and very new at developing games

*facepalm*

plus anyone whom have played the game since the launch knows when trion states 4 hours down time means 8 hours real time. You just have to wait and pray. It will hopefully be up before 8pm est

I'm not whining by any means and certainly do NOT think this game is a lemon. I love everything about it so far. But it is frustrating to me that a friend just bought it last night and has yet to be able to experience all the reasons why I love it. I keep telling him that there are a lot of things you will deal with when you love the game. But I've got to get him playing to understand.

trust me defiance has tested many gamers lately , but in a few months the game will be playable , i just hope the large amount of gamers that have thrown the towel in on this game come back . sadly once a gamer leaves a game due to the issue that defiances has they usually dont come back. I have just come to the fact to not expect much from it and that way these long down times dont bother me much

Did you copy and paste that from the EQ forums, or the WoW forums? I can't begin to count the number of times i've seen identical posts elsewhere.

just tell your friend to give it time. I too build the hype of game to friends whom were angry when they tried to play it too. I just told them give it time .

nope just the track record trion has with patchs since the launch . a patch to fix the patch to fix the patch then take down the server for emergency maintance

I'm really happy with the game thus far. I'm happy that I spent 60 bucks and don't have to pay a monthly fee. I understand that there will be problems with a game that has such a massive world and massive amount of players. I think being patient is key here. People aren't perfect and neither is Trion. I know the game will be continually developed and be better as time goes on. I can't wait for the server to be back up and am excited to see what new things are to come. In the mean time, I'm watching golf and enjoying my day off.

I work in the software business and I find that this sort of thing is very irresponsible. I would fry if I blindly applied a patch to the entire system hoping it worked. In most cases I apply my updates/Upgrades/hotfixes to a small sample size and test before going balls out full blown upgrade. I also am only allowed to do my upgrades off normal working hours. Since this game is global, I could see this being a challenge, but since the majority of players are U.S. This upgrade/patch should have been applied overnight or by using some sort of activity report to find the deadest time. I can assure you that 9 am is not that time.

Fail over systems are a must. For a game that makes you play online, they should have a better contingency plan in place. While today's issues do not effect me, I'm still pretty embarrassed for Trion since they have not learned from their last patch mistakes and they are giving the impression of "to bad, they can wait". They do have our money already and we don't pay a monthly fee, but taking our money and continuing to produce the same patch mistakes over and over again is unacceptable. I feel bad for the players that dropped real $$ for bits to buy boosts only to have them drift away while hours of outage take place.

Ok, enough is enough.

Is it me or does there seem to be a lot of people who claim to work in the 'industry' and yet offer little to no proof at all, not to mention giving any solid information on their projects or anything else for that matter.

So why don't all the people who claim to work in the industry form a tight knit group and produce your own game? go on, enlighten us all of your godlike knowledge, show us how it's meant to be done. Stop posting statements of which you cannot prove without clawing your way through google first and create a game for all of us to rip apart at will.

I'm not talking about a small ****ty indie game, I'm talking about a full on retail game on an MMO scale.

I feel like I'll be waiting for this 'game' for a long time.
