well i'm a new player, i've been hearing good stuff about this game, however 1st thing i notice is i'm unable to log in, then i see there's a maintenance, then i see it was supposed to be 40 mins, theen reading it takes longer but they never say the correct time, then chinese server closing (wow worst than overhit already) then reading all kinds of different things from the ones i've been told which makes me re-think about this game.
I saw some videos on youtube and i was like nice, they got this cool community managers, but if they lie with something as simple as maintenance times, i wonder what will expect me once i play
I hope the servers come back up soon, but delays don’t mean they didn’t do due diligence. You find things in a system supporting 6+ million users that you can’t foresee in dev and qa environments. It’s tough to balance quick fixes, stable performance, and avoiding regressions with a rapid deployment.
Still, giving themselves a wider, more realistic window would be nice for those of us that hold off on sleep hoping to get a few more missions in before bed. I’d be asleep right now if it weren’t for my expectations.HellishVisions said:

100% agree, i remember this game maplestory which did the same for a while, taking a maintenance and saying it would be for 2-3 hrs then extending it every time, until they decided just to say it will take 5-6 hrs moreless.
Why is this important? people play from different parts of the world, so is not the same time everywhere, some people play at night before sleep, or any random hour, when you say it will take 40 minutes there are some players who may plan ahead to be free after 40 minutes, but if you actually take 6 hrs with no updates you will have them waiting and wasting their time.
a shame we do not all live in the same spot on this tiny world, as it is after 3 am here, not much sun. I am a night shift worker on my night off, was hoping to play a little.Man some people need to get a life... Go outside, get some sunshine, talk to someone.
It's going to be ok
