+1

I may not agree with some of the actions of the Mods, and Admins over the time I have played this, doesn't mean they aren't doing what they believe is best for the player base they have and want to retain.

I appreciate it Support, Admins, and Mods.

so my question to everyone then is this

whats the rule that was broken because no one has answered that

yes it was a downtime but does that mean that everyone who was lucky enough to see the code to log in be punished for it

Players shouldn't be punished if they weren't able to login. Nor should others reap the benefits of others not being able to login. Although much of the accounts in main are IA's - in no way should those who are active and couldn't get on to defend themselves, lose their given resources.

Luck doesn't factor into this.

This, coming from a player who even did reap benefits. I'm not in opposition of the rollback. If anything, I'm in favor of it.

With everyone on a free PPT, naq production from the IA's with be nice and tasty.

That's reality affecting your game play. Not the server affecting it. Not even comparable analogies.

Ask yourself this - If you were on the LOSING end of resources, would you have this same stance? Or requesting a rollback?

If the server had ZERO issues, it is up to the player to make sure they are able to defend themselves. Since the server HAD ISSUES, players weren't given the ability to defend themselves. Hence the stance that Support has taken. It's pretty straight forward.

What Mental said...

If the server wasn't the reason he missed PPT, I'd say so.

so you really don't have anything better to do than sit and attempt to log on every 2-3 min?
