They could've pulled the same shit they did on FFXI, and straight up FORCED us onto what were prior-to-launch-day JP only servers, and old ones with high level characters at that. Frankly, I'm surprised they didn't find some way to make us a minority again this time, other than tanking our...

My kingdom for a world pass. I really hated those things.

I tried, after it should have been technically going down, but Gilg was still locked. I tried another server and got the error that I wasn't authorized to create a character on this world, since it was going down.

Honestly, it's pretty amazing to me that these assholes at SE could have learned so little since FFXI. They almost tanked that game before it even started with shockingly horrific design. Placing all the NA players at launch into 90% JP servers that had already leveled characters, and where they...

Well, if that's the case, I may give up waiting and cancel my pre-order(s). That really does have a long-term tone to it, and I'm not going to pay as much for a transfer as for the game. I hope it's still possible to sneak into these servers if you are persistent.

I had the same issue both times, despite waiting around for the servers to come up. Gilg is the only one that I have never seen unlocked.

Edit: Too late.

I'd have a greater respect for their "miracle worker" reputation if they could implement a queue to create a character on Gilg.

Server lock is definitely a bummer and seems like a weak solution. At least let us sit in a queue. Has anyone successfully made it onto Gilgamesh recently, since the server-specific lock?

I'd have to disagree with most of your specific points, but we don't disagree overall. Wow just copied EQ, it really brought almost nothing to the table other than accessibility, graphics, and a twitchier/better combat engine. Grind to max level (with much less character advancement, no AA, no...

Am I missing the delete post function under edit?

Why do we allow editing, but not deletion of posts? Sure makes multiple submits on shitty internet tough to fix.

I find this argument completely false, and you to be an apologist for shitty, stagnant gaming. Rift was never better than WoW, and WoW never held a candle to EQ or especially UO. Almost 20 years and we can't get any real (non-instanced) player housing that matters, or a functional player based...

This is a completely false dichotomy. If you took even 1% of the time you spent jerking off in these games to lame ass WoW quest chains, you'd find there is an entire world of non-AAA games that, in general, are vastly better than these piles of shit. Unless you are a true basement dweller...

To be fair, you have a point. I am bitching a fair deal. It's just that Steam was a beacon of light in this "Slap box art on it and ship" industry, and the last year of gradual slide towards the status quo is very strong evidence that that time may be over. I guess it's like when your...

Very true - these comprise most of my purchases and enjoyment from Steam. From Terraria to Amnesia.

It would suck even if the prices were the same, because the games are all fast losing value as new shit comes out. To actually offer worse prices, on the same shit over and over again, is borderline insulting. I'd rate my previous opinion on Steam as an "A+"; it's now maybe a flat "B". They are...

This argument makes no sense. They are offering, in multiple cases, the same games they have sold before but at worse prices. I love how Terraria has seen a 50% increase on its sale price from the past, for example. Games that were 99 cents in 2010 are now 2.50. This sale sucks because the...

This sale is fucking pathetic. This thread is the proof - it's all links to sites with actual good deals, that aren't from Steam. Most of the deals Steam does have have been beaten by THEMSELVES in some cases OVER A YEAR AGO. Where are the 5 game bundles for 4.99 from 2010? The holiday...
