Well, I guess they'll have to be patient as far as my money is concerned since I can't even buy a registration code for the game client sitting on my computer.

No, I can't pick it up hard-copy, I live in the Caribbean; its cost half the cost of the game to ship it to me and they will take half a month. Let's not even start on customs.

See you guys whenever downloads are allowed again, unless I can get someone to smuggle in a box to me. Â Paying $160 for a visa, $600 for a flight just to buy a game that I will have no time to play because my last vacation days are next week...game over for me.

It's all about being less selfish and trying to get everyone in who wants to play. We're a community, we should act like it.

Off topic, butÂ Ghandi may have never said that.

I have to disagree about the "if you don't do it, others will anyway" statement. While that's always a possibility, and there are people like that out there, I like to give others the benefit of the doubt. Whenever I log out for the night, I like to believe I just gave someone else a chance to play, and they'll do the same thing when they're done playing.Â

I understand what you mean, and that's a part of the reason why I don't afk myself. There are many people trying to play and they deserve the chance. But that's exactly why I'm also not against people who afk; in the end, they're also people who want to play. I can only assume that if someone goes as far as leaving their character afk for the whole night, it might be because they know they won't be able to log in at a time where the server is not full. I won't be the one telling them "tough luck. Just don't play"... ^^a;
Â
I simply understand that everyone wants to play, and thus they'll do what they can.

(And just for the record, I just came back from lunch and now it seemsÂ absolutely impossible to log in).

This thread has been a souring of what has been an otherwise wonderful experience.Â Its basically everyone just being introverted assholes to each other and its painfully annoying .Â I really cant believe a mod of the website has not locked this nonsense yet.
I don't see why a thread deserves locking when there has been no swearing or threats or any other unreasonable and personal attacks made. If threads like these really sour your experience so soon, then follow the same advice I was given by people of this same RP community: Don't like it? Don't read it.

LITERALLY posts this after a post with swearing. Apparently you really take that not reading into good use. ::face palm::

And they think free time is a good apology. People at my work would get fired for messing up this badly.

We should start a game, name it something cool and hype it up, then after everyone pays and at release, say all the servers are down and roll in the cash. THEN we can start developing the game, once everyone has given us the cash to do so.

Frankly, the level of entitlement in this post is outright laughable. "Idling and staying logged in seems like the best course to take to make things easiest on ourselves." Really? Here, let's do some math. First we're going to assume you actually care about being a decent human being and helping out others. So you can stay logged in for 36 hours straight and hog it all to yourself, but like I said, we're pretending you give a shit about your fellow human. If the average casual player plays roughly 2 hours and then logs out, you could potentially cycle in 18 other playersÂ within the time you're sitting on your ass watching Netflix. Now, I know there's a distinct possibility that you'll let in another person like you who idles for days at a time, but the potential is there to give a great deal of people a chance to play.Â

Moving on, we'll get to your jab at SE for daringÂ to "think free time is a good apology". It's free time. That's timeÂ where they let you play the game for free.Â How are you complaining? I guarantee if they gave you nothingÂ you would still play, because you're still interested enough to post on these forums. The correct response to this "insult" is "Thank you, Square Enix."

The last paragraph, I considered not addressing because I honestly thought you might be trolling by this point. Yes, I'm sure Square's plan was to crash the servers so they could roll in the cash. It was a big conspiracy and we all fell for it. They're sitting back in their offices right now laughing and smoking cigars and curling their villainous mustaches. Grow up. They're more stressed out about this than we are. We might not be able to play a game, but their careers are on the line. Also once again, extended free time =/= rolling in the cash.Â

Is there any other ridiculous statement you'd like to make or are you done?

Not sure why your arguing with a player who is on a different server than you.Â Cool

Crazy how this has escalated into accusations over how much people care about fellow human beings. I'm not sure something as petty as staying logged into a crowded MMO server is completely reflective of your morals as person.

People are even throwing out Ghandi quotes?

Velkyron · **09-01-2013, 11:28 AM**

I don't really have much to add to this. Â I just wanted to show you all what everyone else reading is doing.

People will do what they do. Â Point your anger and fingers at the situation that needs to be remedied through Square Enix not at each other.

The situation doesÂ need to be remedied through Square Enix, but that doesn't mean players can't do anythingÂ to make it easier for others while Square is working on the problem.Â

People willÂ do what they do, and they'll also say what they say, so get a thicker skin.

I'm not "taking it out" on anyone. I'm trying to help a shitty situation by suggesting that everyone lend a helping hand to their fellow gamer, and give them some time to play the game, too. We all paid for it but some of us haven't even been able to play.

This is a logical matter, not a personal one. There's always someone on every thread who doesn't seem to know the difference. I haven't attacked anyone with my thread. I offered a helpful suggestion. If people want to find offense in it, they're going to find offense in it. At this point, I don't care anymore

EDIT: Â You know, I had an entire thing to put here filled with anger. Â Because that's all I ever seem to read. Â And now I am being personally attacked.

Yes, I don't have a thick skin. Â Sue me. But that doesn't give you the right to be offensive and rude.

Because all it has become is a thread of anger, negativity, and personal attacks. Â You don't believe me? Then read these threads again. Truly thought this place would be different that the beta boards or the main ones. Damn was I wrong.

I am sorry I am not perfect as you, Uther. Â But that doesn't mean I am not a human being, which many seem to have forgotten now, even you.

Oh for God's sake, can we all just calm down a bit? I'm annoyed at the current situation too but there's no need to start mudslinging and people are starting to become offended.

@Uther
Yes, people are rude and unkind and it is a good idea for others to try and develop a thick skin so as to not be as easily offended by such things but don't use that as an excuse to be very blunt with the way you say things when you know there is a good chance people aren't going to take it well.

@BloodWillow
Tensions are high at the moment, please don't take it personally. It doesn't help that there are many people here of varying opinions as well so just try to see it as it is and not take anything to heart despite what it may seem.
