Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) for those of us who log out to recover sleep bonus why do we get punished for a server restart.can we please add a command for that or wait a bit(say 24 hours) so we can burn off what SB we had before we get "reimbursed" with nothingi for one am tried of getting punished for playing the game the right way Edit: or give something else for reimbursement Edited August 7, 2013 by Deth666 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 Complaining about something free...hmm... Just use up your SB as you get it or keep it below 3 hours saved up (if you like to save it), that way you'll never be full and won't "lose" this free reward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 [warning] There was an server crash and you will get free 5h sleepbonus in 24hours, enjoy your gaming. thats what it should be 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) That's a somewhat strange definition of "punishment" Rolf would be well within his rights to give us absolutely no downtime compensation at all, it seems audacious to make demands regarding its implementation.

Posted August 7, 2013 Even with 24 hours notice, some people would still "be punished". It seems to be fine as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 That's a somewhat strange definition of "punishment"Don't look a gift horse in the mouth is what I say. Rolf would be well within his rights to give us absolutely no downtime compensation at all. This would be true for a free game, not so much when you pay for the game time..especially when that game time has somewhat recently been bumped up in price. Last time I heard, gifts aren't part of something you've already paid for. As for the 24hr notice, at least you know something would be coming so you'd be more inclined to use up your SB and it's your own fault then if you don't.

Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) So, you're complaining that you got 2 hours free SB? "Trying to play the right way" There is no right way. Edited August 7, 2013 by Outlaw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All paid online services including banking, CRM, online trading and game servers, have a certain amount of projected annual downtime and I don't know of many such service that regularly offers reimbursement for that as an explicit part of the deal? That said, I don't hate the idea, I just find it strange to see so many people taking a bonus for granted. Edited August 7, 2013 by EliasTheCrimson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 What are you even complaining about? I don't see how this is a punishment. Like, at all. It doesn't even fit in that definition. You feel punished because you don't get warned about a free bonus? What? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 read that again i would have had around 4 hours Correct me if I'm wrong, but sleeping gives free SB too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 Should give out sleep powder instead 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree that they all have a certain amount of projected annual downtime but a lot of that is scheduled if I'm not mistaken. Things that interrupt service unexpectedly (at least for online games) are usually reimbursed in some form or another from my past experience, not because they necessarily have to, but to keep the general population happy. The extra sleep bonus in this situation is one such form of reimbursement but if you're not on constantly to burn it off you kind've lose that reimbursement. The 24hr notice idea would be ideal for this scenario since it informs the players of the upcoming compensation should they choose to take advantage of it.

Posted August 7, 2013 Some times you get the full 5 hours bonus, sometimes you don't. It evens itself out over time. No need to feel like you are missing out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) So you are logged out, what does the server downtime have to do with you? Or, you logged out to get Sb, and the crash happens, again, how does it affect you? I feel like I'm missing something here :/ Edited August 7, 2013 by Shrimpiie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) We once got 10 hours of sleep bonus. Should be a reserve 5 hours that is added that you can use after yours is gone. That 10 hours was niiiice, That proves the code is there, they should just make it oyu can get up to 5 hours built up in a bed and the only way you can go over is if you get the bonus time.

Posted August 7, 2013 Rolf is under no obligation that i know of to give sb. We have come to look forward to it and rely on it a bit too much. After all, it is not our right to get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there was a notice board ypou wouldn't have free sleep bonus compensation. Move on, i know it sucks sometimes, but as someone said, sometimes you get the bonus, sometimes you don't. Least, you got your own 5 hours sb garantee Cheers Edited August 7, 2013 by Maedhros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 I’m sorry if I don’t expect the game to fail and yes I don’t like being screwed for playing the game as it’s supposed to work, and for those few posts about that please come back when you’ve learned to read, ether remove the “bonus†or change the way it works Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 7, 2013 So you rather not having any bonus at all ( and to everyone ), just because you don't fully get it on you? Dude... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
