OK guys something you need to understand. fast.
Sumamry of following post
1) if you ask nice, i will tell you.
2) if you spam, ignore me, cuss me out as if it were my fault ect, i am going to LEAVE
now comes the angry part
1) DO NOT SPAM THE CHAT BOX "IS SERVER ON???" for heavens sake look THREE INCHES to the right and it says if the server is on
2) Server is down for a reason. This time, it's maintenance. If everyone int he chat box is spamming WHEN MAINTENANCE OVER WHEN MAINTENANCE OVER blah blah DON'T ASK! I WONT ANSWER!
3) Maintenance is not a timed ordeal. they are trying to fix something. that means when they are done, server will be up. server will be up, when maintenance is done. SO STOP SPAMMING! it's a stupid question. They can't snap their fingers and be done in exactly 1 hour and they certainly can't just "fix" things it takes time and effort. If YOU know how to fix it, then help. if you don't PLEASE stop spamming!!
sorry for the outburst. I am becoming SO sick and tired of 300 noobs spamming in caps in like 10 different languages "when is maintenance over". again, stupid question. It's over when they fix it.
the worst is asking if the server is on. if im happy, i'll say yes or no. if your spamming caps 30000 times over and over totally filling the chat bar, i WILL NOT answer because you are clearly too much if a complete idiot to look to the right and check for yourself. if your hammering at the keyboard and not taking the time to look, then i'm not going to take the time to answer you.
the number of times I've said "They'll be done when they fix the mail bug. just wait" and "look to the right. it says "server status" in big letters" is mind boggling.
OK now the nice part again
in their defense, they're total noobs and complete idiots and have no idea how to check for themselves. So, i suggest adding a post in Updates every time you guys do maintenance. That way i can just say "check for yourself" lol.
It's the players duty to read the forums.
The GM's are there to help you, not feed you everything you want to know at your beck and call.
Now guys, if you ask "can anyone tell me if server is on please?" i will say "nah it's down for maintenance. check the bar to the right of the chat box it says whether its on or not". i have thats sentence saved in my "copy/paste" cuz ive answered it so many times.
if you ask why it's down, of course i will tell you that it's maintenance. If i don't know, i'll say i don't know. But if you spam in caps "why is server off when is it on again" i'm just going to ignore you.
guys unless GM/Admins specifically come into chat and say "hey guys we will be down until 23rd November, 2010 for maintenance. be back at 10am +8GMT", we don't know when it will be back up. no one knows. so don't ask
remember to check the forums. If server is off for more than a few hours and on at a specific time, it will be posted here. e.g. if its off for a day and a half and no posts, then we have no idea how long.
i'm repeating myself so many times because i'm sick of hearing it. most of the time when i answer they dont even see it and keep spamming, or they answer "WHY????" or several times i've gotten "THATS GAY" followed by filipino cuss words. thanks for the appreciation.
understand? good.
here. the server status is CLEARLY marked, and to the left, we have a played politely asking when the maintenence began. see? he LOOKED to see if anyone had asked already. they had, and i answered. he saw that and asked how long it had been going on.
now LEARN! PLEASE! be nice to each other! ask politely, and you get answers. funny how that works
