CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.Follow

I think we should all join together in a class action law suit (I'm not a lawyer, and am not sure if this would qualify for class action status) and sue SOE. We pay for a WORKING game environment. SOE knowingly releases expansions without properly and completely testing them, only to use the gameplaying public as BETA testers. SOE has KNOWN issues dating back years they chose not to fix. In the law suit we should recieve a portion of our paid subscription price from the dates we have paid our subscription, and compensation for the frustration of spending hours, days, weeks, working a quest that is unsolvable. Also SOE should be forced to PUBLICLY post ALL KNOWN issues relating to broken quests, etc.

ALL I WANT IS A WORKING GAME ENVIRONMENT without having to endure countless patches, and broken/ignored quests. They have been in the business of EQ for almost 7 years now, they should have it right by now.

Would you like a little cheese with that Whine?

Blah Blah Blah

Terms of Service (a great read!)

<--- for the Whine

Doesn't someone threaten a lawsuit after every expansion? The sad part is some of these loonie toons actually take time off a productive job to be the first on after a new expansion.

I bought the boxed expansion and don't even plan to install for another week. After 10 expansions I've finally learned to wait.

What you should do is quit EQ and stop wasting your time and money. There's a PacMan simulation that will run on a cell phone, give that a try.

Ok count me in. I can use the cash. Could even be a dolla

These threads pop up like mushroom rings every time there's a major patch that has to be re-patched.

You should know better. SOE hasn't been able to do it right yet, why would you think they care to do it right, now?

Yup. Every single time. Never seen anyone actually do it though...

actualy PoR wasn't as smooth as the last few.

however, for the small cost of my months payment, i am MORE than happy with the game overall. go ahead, take 15 bucks and go see what it will get ya. frikin arcade games take from 1.00 to 2.00 now adays for what? 2 min of play? gimie a frikin break, you can play for HOURS, DAYS! for your 15 bucks in EQ. well worth the money.

and i will gladly keep paying for more content, struggle for a week or so, so i can then do what i want with even more things to do.

you all (the ones that complain) look at it wrong, what was the period of time that we had uninturupted game play... MONTHS!!!! during that time, for your 15 bucks, if you wanted, or were able, you could of been online on THEIR server doing nothing but taking up space. 24/7 if ya had wanted, for your 15 bucks.


/shrug


don't like it.... DON'T PLAY!!!!!! DON"T PAY!!!!!!

put a sock in it already ;-P

IF you dont want to play a game that has problems or glitches, go play a board game you meely mouthed roadapple, computer programs have issues, MMos have them, Console games have them, hell even a board game can be missing pieces, if you dont like it dont play, and if you think a billion dollar compnay doesnt protrect themslves from sue happy peons like you, damn man, you got a lot to learn about the buisness world. and im done, if you dont agree with me, thats life.


=)

too bad you will have to go alone and won't get any pop corn. and have to take the bus because that won't pay for parking either.

;-P

Ok, lets do the math...

First the monthly subscrition. You pay at most $14.99 per month to play. That works out to be about 2 cents ($0.02) per hour to play. Remember, EQ is available for 24 hours per day, it is not Sony's fault that you have to work, sleep, eat, etc, but the game is available when you are not playing it.

Next to the cost of the expansion. This one is a little more complicated. You paid $29.99. I guess you have to spread this cost out over time. We can assumed that this will be new content for the next six months. People still play regularly in DoD, DoN and OoW. Knowing that, I would say this expansion has a lifespan of at least two years. That hourly cost works out to be about $0.002 per hour.

Ok, so with the PoR patches. We it is known that there is downtime with each expansion. So you really can't argue that the game was unavailable for the actual patch which was 12 hours. That is an 'accepted' downtime to play the online game that requires patches to load the new expansions. Outside of that patch there has been how much additional downtime? I know of about 15 additional hours of patching.

Sony has taken from you...

$0.30 for the monthly subscription
$0.030 of the cost of the expansion

$0.33 (rounded) is what you have essentially lost due to the excessive patching.

So you want to sue over 33 cents?

(edit: Sentence fragments are my friend. Sorry about those.)

OMG!!!!!!!!! 33 cents!!!!

gimie it back!!!!!! i could buy...um, um..

nevermind

Mental note: Please write this entire thread ahead of time for the next expansion. Just sticky it the week before. Save time for actual game information.

I just spent $20 on Peruvian food for lunch. If only I grazed on free snacks the company provides.. I coulda re-upped an EQ account!

lol

Oh noes.. SOE sucks (SoE rules too!)
