Dear Sweet ZeniMax
I get you are busy, I really do...and I get where you are its the early hours of the morning. But its 1.37am for me in little old NZ, and I have been waiting patiently to play your wonderful game all evening. Now...I have to go to bed.
But I couldn't not say this before I go: I've reset my router, checked all my ports and firewalls. I've repaired the client several times over, I've restarted my PC and...I've waited.
Now I get there is a chance of a backlog after maintenance, it's a great game, that is why I've been playing... in fact I've been sacrificing World of Warcraft time for this game...but seriously? Login failed? How about a 'Sorry, experiencing technical difficulties, try again later.' or something that doesn't imply that its on our end, when its the servers having a hissy or something?
I know others have been waiting longer and my post will likely be looked over, as so many people flood the forums. But could you perhaps fix this issue with the servers while I'm sleeping? That is 8 prime workday hours in the states....wait sorry...it's Sunday there...so do I just...I don't know...play WoW 'til your technicians get back to work on Monday?
