Last night at around 1AM EST our staff discovered hackers may have obtained personal information

You discovered personal info had been compromised at 1AM and don't post about it until the next evening?

Why is it that this project is continually plagued by unprofessionalism?

Explain to me please why a site-wide email wasn't sent out immediately upon discovery like every other major community would do?

How long do you think it took a 'professional' organization like SOE to inform its customers that their personal info might have been compromised when they had their hack ordeal last year? I think your expectations are slightly unrealistic.

Because maybe they didn't have enough info at the time, grow up and deal with it.

I'd rather they take the site and servers down and address the security issue, THEN worry about sending me an email. But that's just me.

Also I was not awake at 1am anyway.

This is a private concern...not a MMO company with dedicated 24/7/365 QA/CS staff.

If you want to Troll a Staffer here...you'll be lucky to have the ability to log in tomorrow.

Thanks so much SWGEmu, for your hard work and quick response. You guys rock!

Maybe because they are not doing this professionally, nor are we paying them. they are what is known as volunteers. And although we get what we pay for most times you have to admit we get a whole helluva lot for free.

Interesting, it seems ALL of SOE is down for "maintenance" once again... coincidence, I think not.
