Holy shit.  With the amount of lag, we won't even be able to earn the extra XP due to DCing.

We had a full server CRASH last night on G-land. Full DC of everyone on the server.

I hope the database move that everyone is saying is this summer happens sooner.

I was really hoping for some special items or something cool for the 10th aniversary. "Run a bunch of tired events at once" is a let down.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Same thing on Khyber.
  

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

Had something happen on Argo last night too, though it didn't DC everyone. Probably a piece of network equipment going down.

Thats where my beef comes in: they ain't actually giving us any shit. Little XP boost, but like no interesting items or rewards for being a loyal player, just sorta "Hey we're gonna run a bunch of events at once!" fuckshit.

I don't think naming names would be a good thing for me to do, but I'd pretty much add anyone who's a know-it-all dick on the list.� Even if they are sometimes intelligent with their opinions, the way they state them in long, "i'm a lawyer at trial"-type posts makes me want to punch them in the face.� They act like whiney babies with god complexes and then freak out if someone so much as breathes criticism in their direction.

There isn't much of a point unless you're incredibly lucky.

I've been ransacking LE curse every week on a minimum of 6 accounts since it came out and I haven't gotten anything decent.

It's unclear if that's because

a) I'm incredibly unlucky
b) Chest level has been confirmed to be capped at a much lower level than the 40 that they initially claimed
c) Some combination of the two

but I wouldn't bother if I were you.

Heh, fragment the few players actually on the server and able to run anything... genius!

Really thought they might've done mailshot of old players, +100% for a day, big up the free raid loot if you're back in time, all that jazz. Feh.

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Don't be ridiculous!  Why would you want you attract former customers back?
This event isn't about customers, it's about the devs naming shit after themselves.  Fuck the stupid customers - nothing but whining troublemakers the lot of them.  Except for the cool (cocksucking) ones - they're ok so long as they keep blowing the devs.
