Ok, start to piss me a little too much. Bging with friends this mornig and suddenly server down AGAIN?!!! WFT is the forkin9 doing? sheet on them. Peace on them. really ......

was a winning AB too....

Really I dunno what the hell they are doing. If I could I would call them to insult them badly. Really I feel they just do this because they gonna lose the license. Good for them, when you're not professional you don't get business....

Must absolutly read this :

http://seekingalpha.com/article/91552-why-activision-must-renew-the9-s-world-of-warcraft-contract

they say perhaps we gonna have to start from scratch if wow go to netease...........................................

Starting to consider making a game break

I think the author of that article has no idea what he's talking about and is just speculating. I'm sure ActBlizz would not allow that to happen.

thats what i thought....loosing acc information is just....inhumane

Fucking stupid GAME, we are like on a pirate server. The only difference is that is is official....

The problem is the new agreement The9 inserted in yesterday's patch. It says that we have no rights over our accounts. Perhaps they are just brewing shit, but still. Saw some Chinese forums about this and people looked very concerned about these new terms....

But yeah I also believe they won't do such kind of stupid move. It Must.

/rant

I have a proposal... next time when the game is on, just log in and delete your char, before the9 does, and stop playing that game...
I rather delete my acc alone than having deleted by the9

TURN ON THE GOD DAMNSERVER

i like your little pic to go with that post lol

that picture actually reflects his paly playing style i.e roll/smash face on keyboard ftw

lol Resto.

I was toying a little in chinese wow forums(http://bbs.wowchina.com/wow/bbs_list.aspx?forum_id=, like hundreds of posts asking when server will be on again and the GM answers are bla bla bla emergency maintenance(we bailed, cut the server we all at starbucks having frappucino), don t have any idea of the time it ll be on again(we doing our little strike so please understand and be patient)... FOOOOOOORK SHHHHEEEET PEEEEACE ON THEM


I WANT IT NAAAOW

You gotta laugh really. This couldn't happen anywhere else in the world but China. The last oasis where customer service and professionalism just do not exist. It was only to be expected that the9's response would be that of a jilted 15 year old girl, its the national norm (stamp feet, pout bottom lip and rub eyes to boo hoo, proceed to throw handbag on the floor and fold arms). The9 have been complacent lazy c#nts since the beginning, a throwback to the "job for life" communist work ethic? "we got the contract hahaa" I only hope that Netease learn from the mistakes that they made and pull their thumbs outta their arse. It would be unfair to judge them so soon but i fear the cultural stigma runs from the local veg vendor to the big corporations. They hav invested in shiny new servers and perhaps this time around their will be a clause enabling Blizz employees to have a hands on approach to running it within the company as this has all been bad press for them and activision.

On the character transfer side as far as i know all characters still have ownership retained by Blizz and not the local vendor so I don't think their will be a problem, to address fears there was a press snippet i read the other day saying any problems transferring character data and the character would be re-introduced t level70 and full T6...which would be obsolete within a week of playing anyway.

I've had my rant...gonna go buy beer now.

t-ra

Does anyone know when the transition is supposed to be taking place? Is the big shift to netease supposed to be happening now, or sometime later?

So I m a little too lazy to go get back the source of what I m gonna to say but seems, server are supposed to shutdown the 7 june, then transition may take some times. I've seen from same source transition would start the 9 june, and server would be back at an undetermined time. Now I dunno if these infos are accurate.

There's an official website from netease dedicated to the transition. Not a lot of info for now as I'm sure they don't know a lot more than us ^^. and below the link to this website(chinese) :

Yah this is the ...somewhat ropey translation...

so pretty vague...

I love

"this angry lich king"

by the way, the9's offices are just beside the metro stop of Zhangjiang park line2 (SH) if u wanna go throw rotten veg at them....

ok guys,

right now i think the best thing to do is just to wait it out. Over the UT, the forums and the channels i've heard some nasty Bull(..)t these days including people's account being hacked and will be hacked. some suggest that everything we've worked for will be stolen or be removed.

I think that in the end we don't have anything to worry about, so we should just let the9 do whatever the F they want, and hopefully we can get back online soon

and besides, its a communist country no matter what they claim.

www.WOFchina.com

are theservers down as the9 frantically tries to clone accounts and aspects of WOW for its ahem...."new" game

93% of revenue is a big hit to their pockets, sure they could just copy warcraft? not in China! A country with such strict anti piracy laws ..ahaha!

so dunno if WOF is a hoax or not, no more information, but why is it not .cn?

anyway in a country where Mao was quoted as saying

"At examinations whispering into each other's ears and taking other people's places ought to be allowed. If your answer is good and I copy it, then mine should be counted as good,"

anything goes eh



.......servers are offline as the dropped Bolo's honor points, will be back up as soon as they are found.

CHEERS

I'm going to the building and throwing eggs for everyone! Bringing back a survenir!

anybody see USA forums on USAWOW about them have problems with main. funny
It was extended like 3 oor 4 times haha

Nice timing for this "your accounts belong to us" patch. I have a feeling accounts are gonna be held hostage in an attempt to get players to move to WOF. It won't surprise me in the slightest if it's a direct ripoff.

Apparently the9 doesn't have a clue that they are pretty much just losing more and more customers by playing this game with the servers.

Even the www.wowchina.com page has been stripped down at the moment. Next thing we'll see is a redirect to www.woFchina.com. Haha. Wankers at the9.

WOW SERVER CLOSED GUYS GO SEE MY LAST TOPIC. THX FOR PLAYING...

i do not think its been stipped.

First page is new patchdownloads, a top you see enter website tab.

also it been off and on like that all day.
