Well all in all I would have to say the users of this forum are far more considerate and patient than the people who are posting on the sony forums now. More than a few appear to be ready to have not one but two anneyurisms (dont care how its spelled :P).
I for one am amused, I have 4 accounts the wife and both kids play =) yes it does rock =). I am hoping that we can get some play time in tonight but if not then I can wait till tomorrow, I still have my eq1 account :P.
For the record though, this is a major screwup, and it should be a lesson about patching on Friday/Saturday. Save your fixes till Monday (maybee give yourselves an extra two days on the test server :) ).
To all the contributors of Allakhazams thank you for making both my Eq and Eq2 games much more enjoyable =).
