This may not be the case, but I would honestly like to know if there's any truth to a DDOS attack going on against Trion right now. Multiple other MMOs are being hit right now, and have been for the last few days. I, for one, would feel a lot better knowing if it really is a DDOS that's somewhat out of Trion's hands. If this is actually what's happening, it could make a lot of people feel better knowing that it's not directly Trion's fault.The lack of updates is a bit unnerving, especially when every time one gets posted, my lag/DC problems seems to get worse. However, if it really is just an ISP issue with Comcast/Time Warner, that's a thing too and disregard what I said.That being said, the issue is getting really old. I've lost track of how many pots I've wasted, how many times I've lagged and died PVE deaths, wasting time in dungeons, all because I can't even keep myself alive. My repair bills are starting to get stupid expensive, and it's not even my fault. Are we supposed to not even try to progress when this is going on?I even got a friend to start playing recently, just before this stuff started happening. The outlook of someone who's just starting the game and walking into problems like this is already making him not want to continue with the game. Any new players who started recently aren't really going to have high hopes when they can't even play.I think I do speak for a number of people when I said I want to be compensated *fairly*. Throwing out a couple of days of Patron and some loyalty really will just feel like a slap in the face, like the actual implications of the problems we're having aren't being properly considered. This needs to be heavily thought about. I do understand that not everyone will be pleased about what we get in return for these issues, as is the nature of MMOs, but overly compensating will do a lot more good for the playerbase than making the majority of people feel shortchanged.Trion, you really have a chance to hit the ball out of the park with how you handle this, but there's also a good chance to strike out with the whole community.
