np for me and probably most players in EU go to have some rest, tomorrrow is another day (oh it's sunday )

I'm sure you guys will fix that problem!
I know there are sometimes unexpected issues like that so don't drive crazy... take it easy.

So basically you crossed your fingers and hoped everything would go ok, letting people rearrange their RL. They didn't know anything about this chance.

Next time be a sport and communicate this in advance.

I wouldn't classify the deterioration of game stability (at least as i experienced it over the last year) as suddenly.

Sorry, there is a long way to go for MindArk: stability, gameplay, balancing, customer satisfaction - plenty of room for improvements there.

I hope these issues are addressed at some point, hopefully in a way more successfull as it was handled in the last time.

I better go now and prepare for the next nerfs and taxes.

In EU way to many PED are lost on the first run or taxed away on armor change ... which is discouraging to put in any more. Because this is no longer funny.

saw a lot of firsts in the last day orso

its the first time i have seen ma admitt the servers wernt up to the job, its the first time i have seen ma staff here on the forums when the shit hit the fan

i will criticise ma for a lot of stuff, but coming here and fessing up to the problems is not one of them. In fact i have long been asking for some straight comunication, and i actualy feel we got that here.

So imo i will support MA when they come here and tell us the truth and look to work with us to solve problems. Thats exactly what we have been asking for.

sure the event was a but lastminute.com, but i think we all understand the circumstances behind it. and I for one cerainly appreciate the effort MA put in to make sure that it wasnt a total waste...

I much prefer the honest direct approach instead of the marketing spin approach... and i hope that if most of the community support MA over this then we can all benefit from some improved communication in teh future

so imo, its well done MA

Communication.. communication.. communication.. it's a good thing
I agree! And Comunication is the most important thing imo!
