Because reactions like this from people like you validate his very existence.

Hah. Well, you are just going to get banned. Again. Then we will all laugh.


And also, methinks that they fucked up the del varients so bad on purpose, to get our minds of this 10 day war, because it is NEVER coming.

The 10 day war specifically isn't coming because of how bad I hear this patch is. The 10 day war is also the reason that the patch went in without proper testing. Think about it, people. They announce a 10 day war for all old subscribers to try to get them interested in playing the game again. They know they need some new hotness to actually suck people into the game again and get them to resubscribe, people aren't going to suddenly change their mind about a game which is essentially the same as it was when they cancelled their subscription. So they rush a patch through with new content to try to get it pushed into the game before the 10 day war starts. Then the patch (predictably) sucks due to lack of testing and they realize there is a potential fiasco on their hands. If they start the 10 day war as scheduled, everybody that comes back is quickly going to realize that nothing has changed and Sony has blown their marketing opportunity to bring old players back. So Sony pushes the war back hoping to smooth the patch over enough that it won't be a complete detriment to old players coming back to the game. In typical Sony fashion, they can't even think of a good lie to cover up their ineptitude so they just clam up and don't bother offering any explanation. How is this not really plain to people?

I completely agree Madcow, although I'm not sure that the patch is so horrible that it would put people off playing it, I agree that they wanted the deliveres in before the 10 day war to show off their new toys. The dev team I suppose can request to hold the 10 day war, but ultimately it's in the hands of SOE's PR division.

From what I heard, it's not that bad for everybody. But you could instantly cross every person off the list who has the issue with the ground disappearing, obviously none of them would end up resubscribing to the game. Why would Sony shoot themselves in the foot with that, regardless of how few might be impacted by it? In the meantime, those of us who were paying attention to the start of the 10 day war (and I'm not sure there are all that many of us) will have stopped paying attention by the time they get around to actually doing it. The 10 day war was a really good idea, but they've done a piss poor job of coordinating it.

I'm sure you'd be sent an email, that's what they do for EverQuest.
