How will I ever live without the Chat Room !?

[Kyriel]

<div></div><div>Now, I havent searched around much about this, but I have noticed for the past month or even more, the chat rooms have had NO customer support and rooms are moderated. And i've been told on several occasions that they are taking it out for good.</div><div> </div><div>Why?</div><div> </div><div>If you were not logged on before the servers were taken down.. How do you know how long they were taken down for? Or if they were taken down for an emergency or crash or somthing?</div><div>Is there somewhere I can check this *immediate* information?</div><div> </div><div>The little tab on the right of the forums is not very helpful as it says...</div><div> </div><div><hr></div><div>Announcements<center>Welcome to the official EverQuest II forums!</center><center><font color="#ff9900">Next scheduled update for US servers:</font><b>Wednesday, February 15, 2006 at 2AM PST</b></center><center><font color="#ff9900">Next scheduled update for EU-English servers:</font><b>Wednesday, February 15, 2006 at 5AM GMT</b></center><center><hr></center></div><div> </div><div>and well... I hate to tell you SOE today is the 16th... so that is yesterdays news.</div><div>It was very very nice to be able to go into the chat room and see the news ticker on top of what is going on.. and having the customer support guy in blue, giving their little announcments of whats going on.</div><div> </div><div>So where will I go now for this information? I'm going to miss the chat. It helped alot of people.</div>

<div>I agree completely, my first port of call after the servers went down was always the chat room at least it made you feel as if something was happening.</div><div> </div><div>Now I just repeatedly log in with my fingers crossed.  Cost cutting exercise maybe?</div><div> </div><div> </div>

<div>It's been 2 hours since i've been trying to log on. My house is spotless, the clothes are washed and the dishes are put away. I've already eaten and taken a shower. LET ME PLAY EQ! zomgn.</div><div> </div><div>Ok... fine, have the servers! Just tell me when they are back up, why they are down, and have a [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] chat room or some sort of communication that is not yesterdays news!</div>

<div></div><p>I completely agree. I've been meaning to say something about this for a while. However, as one of my foremost skills is procrastination,  I was waiting for the right time to post it.</p><p>Numerous times in the past month I have tried to log in and found that I could not. The information posted in the forums here was of course wrong. When they posted the servers would come down at 7:00 GMT and they came down at 2:00 GMT, I felt especially wronged. This was compounded by the fact that there was no accurate information to be had since the chat was moderated with no CSR.</p><p>Please bring it back, it gives us something to do while you make changes.</p>

<div></div><div>Is this the start of something new? No chatting allowed?? Heh, if they keep this up the boards will be full or rants and such.. I totally agree with you all!! What's UP!??</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>

<div>Yeah, being moderated sucks..</div><div> </div><div>But being moderated with no CS in chat for hours is just plain sad.</div>

<div></div>The chat rooms are being discontinued, they just havent eliminated them yet. One of the dev's somewhere made a comment about it.

<div></div>The chat rooms have been pretty much moderated for the last two months.

<div></div><blockquote><hr>Calthine wrote:<div></div>The chat rooms have been pretty much moderated for the last two months.<hr></blockquote>because they are closing them... they arent 'moderated' they are 'closing'.

<div>I know that <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I was mentioning it 'cause everyone posts like it's a brand new change.  And it's not.</div>

<div></div><p>I can't do anything about the accuracy of downtime information, but if you want chat... see my signature.  <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>(I idle there when I'm online and I'm happy to chat as I play if I catch a visitor stopping by.)</p>

<div>Ok, did you even read my post? i KNOW its not brand new, but its just annoying not being told why they are down, or when they will be back up.</div><div> </div><div> </div>
