There is an old saying - "And this too shall pass"

The DDOS attacks will eventually be resolved, I am already seeing the server down time significantly reduced since this past weekend. when most of Sunday you could not even get on.  But eventually they will be effectively blocked, or the source of the attacks will be identified. 

Regardless, reducing the server population, and the subscribers, is exactly the result that the perpertrator wants.  We, on the other hand, want to play this game and enjoy it.  Will we let 1 *** stop us from doing that?  I certainly am not.

As far as a slow pace of developement, I have to say the only frame of reference I have is stEVE, and tbh, I've seen more developement and new features added here in a year than I had seen in stEVE in 4 years, and the DEVs actually taking in alot of what is recommended by the community and trying to work with it. 

Granted, even I have complained bitterly about how they have implemented somethings, and I still believe they need to look harder at new mechanics or features before they are released, but the sheer quantity of changes, and how many have been influenced by player input, is significantly higher here than stEVE, and based on what I have been told, most other MMOs.

Patience is a virtue and how we focus on things is important.  It's easy to get hung up on the negatives, but from what I think most of us have seen, the positives in this game and the DEV team still outweight the negatives heavily.  (don't let that go to your head, Alf!)

PS - the only reason I can see for making such a statement, especially a new thread when there are at least 3 open threads on this topic already, is to influence people with your point of view.  I understand the need to express your concerns, but topics that boil down to " I am unhappy and I am leaving" serve only 1 purpose, to get others to start thinking along the same lines, to influence others to the same behavior.  I think we all need to keep that in mind.

well my oppinion:
take it easy. yes i do enjoy this game, yes i still want to play this game. and if i cant continue this because some small minded people think they gain something by robing some other people of their joy in their free time, wenn then i just can sit back and do something else. i can come back when this is over or try to use the times when the server is running.

perpetuum is the perfect game where you can sit back and have a small break. as long as you stay subbed you still get your ep. so when this is finaly over you have a bunch of ep to spend.

positive thinking...

dont let these ppl get to you. just laugh at them for their smallness of character.

It's ok for players to voice an opinion.

However, this attack is designed to accomplish exactly the result from the OP, and by voicing this option the OP is validating the attackers.

I'm actually surprised this isn't being moderated on those grounds, which I think says alot about AC in that they really do want to allow players to express themselves openly.

Thanks for sharing.

I am subbing more accounts, just to be different

Well I won't be wasting anymore of your precious time.
For me it's just too much hassle. Sorry.

Goodbye and good luck.

I really mean that. I hope the game is a success.

Exactly why this thread pisses me off.

Sometime the game is fun, sometime it's a pain in the ***. You will come back for sure

Maybe we need QQ section on forums where every ppl can post all their upsets?

+1 for a section to threaten the DEVs with cancelling the subs if they don´t make what the posters demand!
