Hella: Longwait

Sorely disappointed by a local setup's effort on the game Hellgate: London...

lets do a list!

they started off on the right foot in HGL, with a forum and kickass trailers and stuff

then....

BAMM

NO.1

Screwed up the pre orders
by not being able to confirm that pre orderees will receive their orders on the 1st day
I MEAN CMON ITS A PRE ORDER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

NO.2
People log onto their server, they cant log out, they crash out.
we realised we are playing a build closer to the beta build then a full retail build coz of the lack of patch0

WOOPEEE
best of all we're all capped at level 22
YES!

NO.3

Great, so a maintenance is scheduled, not patch0, just a level cap raise
it came and went. "It was a success!!! but nothing was done, thank you!"
then another maintenance the next day,

finally something right, or maybe not
people with excess exp realised their chars leveled up with NO skill points
kudos to that

NO.4
THE FRIKIN SERVER CRASHES, ON A PUBLIC HOLIDAY EVENING
i cant even imagine the level of negligence, if youre not even capable of providing the very BASICS of your services.

NO.5

The historical server wipe. Or simply known as "The Wipe"
They have decided to wipe the servers to implement patch 0 as the last resort.
Fine by me... fvcked by the others.
and when it was time to implement.....

NO.6
THEY FRIKIN POSTPONE THE WIPE?!?!?!

all these time if youre observant enough, you'll have realised. Realised that their techies arent working on weekends. Not the critical 1st weekend when everyone is jumping on the ship, no....
Not the critical 2nd weekend when people are jumping OFF their sinking ship with the wipe
Even army boys have weekend duty on a rotational basis.
You should too.

I'm amazed truly, that Murphy's Law should apply itself so... harshly on each and every action you take.
Please anticipate screw ups, and work against them, do not accept complacency.
