Ghallanda Unavailable - Thursday, April 30th

[Charitee]

I think out of all the servers i have tried over the years i feel at home with the people on ghallanda I would not want to change. As someone with multiple accts me, my wife, a bank acct that used to be vip but is now just storage for both of us with the biggest guild ship and a guild we worked hard on I would quit the game if they did a character transfer or account transfer so much would be lost! I also heard doing a server merge but if you like me then your playing with people you don't know or maybe a server you already tried and didn't like I would prefer a server merge if it had to happen to a new server that would be our own Ghallanda 2 maybe! I know it sounds weird but i choose ghallanda for the people not for the name!

I meant a merge not a transfer... Silly me

Seriously, At this point, Merge Ghallanda into Wayfinder and call it a day.

Well of course! Same here. However many people identify themselves with Ghallanda as much as DDO. I can point you to people that will not play with another server name. Sadly I can even point you to people who will not play on another server even if they merge and rename it to Ghallanda.

At this point, this will cost Turbine no matter what they do, so the most cost-effective solution in my eyes is the one that gets to the solution the fastest at this point.

Because at the end of the day, people just want to play. And yes, many want to play with their friends and in fact is the reason they still play DDO.

Merging servers seems like a good idea to me. I think Merging all the servers onto one is the best thing they could do for the game at this point.

I completely agree with this.

If it wasn't for friends and hanging out with the hubby...I wouldn't be playing anymore.

I understand your point, but as just coming to G-land a few months ago from Thelanis assure you that it isn't that hard to reestablish yourself on a different server. I had played on Thelanis for several years before moving to G-land and had a great reputation there and many friends. The people that I have played with on G-land have been very friendly and I feel like I am building a good rapport. Also at the end of the day it is about being able to play the game, which atm we cannot do on G-land.

No, it definitely isn't difficult to re-establish yourself on a new server as you have done if you already have a welcoming established guild and familiar faces, I agree with you on that.

And at the end of the day, what if what we want is to NOT PLAY anymore due to persistent unresolved downtime ? My VIP subscription is yearly since playing on European servers back in 2006. VIP People like myself in the same situation should be given the choice to terminate that altogether and ask for a calculated refund - least ask for ANY compensation. What say you now, Turbine ?

Ghallanda downtime made me mow my lawn a week EARLY this year!

But that led to an epiphany:



so it was worth it.

It's 7pm here in England... Will the server be up at all today? Please Turbine... An update would be really welcome right now.

Haha That made me chuckle!

the renamed toons, missing items and look at all they have added since then guild airship, shared bank and bags, not sure if that would be a merge they could do now even though people talk about it a lot i believe if it was an easy choice they might have merged wayfinder already with another server!

Why only VIP players? What about former VIP players? Or players that are not VIP but use money on DDO store, on adventure packs and upgrades?

We all have the samne rights.

But they have generally been very silent about this - and not responded open at the forums regarding compensations or what is going on in generel.

More information would be nice!

What say you now turbine
Sorry this one actually made me laugh. Out loud. Loud enough for the wife to ask what was so funny.
Hell, even she is telling me this game is becoming a joke, and she plays farmville. How bad does this have to be, in order to know how bad this game is?
Well apparently when farmville players can insult it, it would have to be pretty bad.
Just Sayin.
Also to answer that question, I will step in and answer it myself. NOTHING.
They will say nothing. they are at least consistent with that. Way to go!!!!
Lastly, as I have stated in previous posts, the community manager is once again nowhere to be found.
And here, Cordo let me save you the time for when the servers come back up
AHEM.....
"thanks for your patience, we will see you in game!"
Just sayin

Come to think of it I think you may be right!

Ugh. Go back to your other forum. You're almost as irrelevant here as you are there.

if your not paying to play the game like vip's they would be no compensation to consider! I understand yes you can not play the game like the rest of us but vip's pay for it yearly! In the few times they have done something like that it is a day or week added and you don't even notice it!

[BigGoettge]

Not saying they would - but they should!

Money is money - and i can contribute with more cash than a VIP players yearly contribution only through ddo store, that is not insignifacant!!!!

Actually i would guess that many players out there contribute more than many VIP players just by using DDO sotre

I can answer this, because premiums pay too. Some premiums pay more than vips. You can't compensate one group of paying customers and do nothing for another group of paying customers just because the former pays regularly or in advance and the latter not so regularly.

Missing items and character renames sound minor to me. I think the benefits far out way the, what seem to me, minor annoyances. I do suspect you are right that it must not be an easy thing to do. I suspect if it was they would have already done it.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGH I just want to play! I need my DDO fix! Please turbine! You're killing me here!
