You're right...lets take a breath...I might be getting a bit too heated...This IS a free game...I should have kept this in mind. In this event, I feel that for them to even ask for money to play this game is completely wrong. If they are going to be changing the game so drastically, they have no right to ask for money from the people who play this game, especially if they will not refund the money in the event that one of these patches goes completely awry.
Back to the issue on hand though, the original post was complaigning about the maintenence time. In my eyes, the longer it is, the better. That means they are trying to work out the bugs to make gameplay more enjoyable. :)
Normally I'd agree, but the recent patches have only made game play worse, and not to mention unpredictable. There are many major bugs that need to be fixed which the Evony team knows about...They are left unresolved. The patches that are implemented aren't explained and cause a huge amount of loss for both experienced and inexperienced players...clearly some more than others.
Nope. The original post wasn't complainting about the LENGTH of the maintenance time. But the obvious misleading claim that maint usually only last 15 mins, when it clearly is not. Maint. average between 30 to 60 mins. Stating that simply would be far more honest and truthful.
I never said the length.
I am going to get some sleep.
let's be realistic for a second shall we? it takes roughly 30mins to an hour for "maintenance" right? during this time they are backing up our files and implementing little tweaks to try and better the game... that being said yes it will "usually" take 15 minutes once the game is running smoothly however at this given moment it still is pretty new right? I mean it's only a months old at this point.. yes maybe they should have given it more time in beta but let's face it this game IS addicting and that IS why we all play it right? look at it this way... these are the freshman years... short pimple faced teens all trying to figure out how to "grow up"... before you know it it's going to be senior year.. the figurative cherry will be popped and the true essence of "adulthood" will be reached and will be wonderful.. but until then you gotta pop a few zits.

Yeah, I can see clearly now.
Some people will take any opportunity to complain.
I completely agree...The game is still new, which means they should be more accommodating to the people who are testing it. The topic has somewhat deviated away from the original post, and for that I'm sorry...but the issues still stand. There is a lot to be done and this means the game should still be classified as beta and the people who spend money should be warned in the least. If maintenance is going to take an hour, it should at least be announced. Waiting an hour for a fifteen minute maintenance every night is ridiculous...especially when it's followed by multiple random server take downs for whatever reasons which are not announced. I apologize to the techs, admins, and whoever else...I do not mean to be so abrupt and harsh, but you need to take into consideration the many people who trust this game is NOT in beta.
