I'm sure the Klient thing is all great and fine, but personally I have no idea how to use it :P

Just unzip the file you download and run klients.exe that you'll find in the folder. Enter your username and password (the same you use to access the game) and you're in. After the first time you use it, it stores your username/password (encrypted) so you can auto-login from that point forward.

It really is the fastest and easiest way to get out of game help.

Well I appreciate all the fantastic advice on their nice little klient support chat..

However, I have never played an online game in 6 years that did not make some sort of official statement on their website > news or on the official forums that said what had happened and why you could not log in and play their game in which you pay for..

Perhaps I am just extremely pissed off at the moment because the game is sliding like no other I have ever seen.. Besides the crash today, if a brand new player cannot kill a freaking suckling yubo of all things there are some serious underlying issues with their dev process...

We're all a bit stressed over the uber Yubos and their friends, just like the harvesters were going ballistic over the way Patch 1 initially destroyed (not just harmed) harvesting. Harvesters are happy again (overjoyed is more like it) and Cerest has already said that the uber Yubos are not supposed to be that way; hopefully that means a further tuning for all critters and not jus Yubos.

As to the crash thing, it's not really practical to post here every time the server fails and has to be restarted. Even though it doesn't happen terribly often, it would clutter up the forums and it's already hard enough to find valuable information with all the forum static as it is.

Didn't want to make a new topic for nothing, but right now, 1pm EST, 8th of November, server is unavailable to me. Is it just me?

Its a new game. IMO it will take about 6 months for things to become "player friendly" at least work out most of the bugs, and get a good solid player base. So this kinda stuff definitly sux but not suprising.

There is a patch going on...

If you WERE in Klients chat you would see the channel topic currently is:

The server is currently down for a small client and server update. Estimated downtime about 30 minutes (it's roughly 12:55 EST now)
