This is a comlete joke....

This is unreal, and completely unacceptable. Have you gone freaking insane?
Last night was such a successful public relations event that you decide to
do maintenance during prime time the following night!?! You show that
little regard for your paying customers? You are completely off your
rockers, and the bad PR that this game is getting is really a shame because
it is a high quality game being run by a bunch of hacks.

Disagree about the scheduled maintenance....I read it on eqvault that they
were going to down the server @ 7:00 PST....

Something tells me that last nights hard drive crash was a result of the
maintainance, and that tonights chat server crash has the same root
cause as last nights.
I don't think the login server has ever really worked right. I often
went down in Beta with a fraction of its present load. Strange that
they have such a big single point failure.

Two things, although it appears you've already gone ballistic.
(1) Last night they had problems with the hard drive. You cannot blame them
for that. Yes it was annoying, but you really can't blame them for having

you can scream at them about that, though.
(2) I was online when the server crashed. I don't think it was a scheduled
maintenance item. The last thing I saw before the black screen of doom
appeared was the line "Faydark does 32000 points of damage to Faydark" ...
well, I had a feeling something BAD had happened.
That's all I wanted to point out.

except everquest.com says 7 *AM* PST ... as opposed to, what, 6:30
(thereabouts) *PM* PST?
I'm just waiting for them to change it on everquest.com to tell us that this
was, indeed, a scheduled maintenance item, and that they're telling us this
several hours after it's already happened.

Yer probably right. I know enough about servers to fill a thimble, so I
should learn not to comment on things I don't know about. Thanks for being
gentle and not saying "yer a moron! go back to whatever whole ya crawled
out of!" or something similar.
