I didn't know when the update would be live, but it was supposed to be soon. I had just gotten to the PC and tried my luck. Patch was live. I got in and in little time made my way to open up a market in the FM. I opened a spot in FM 1 on Channel 1 and within seconds saw a pouring in of users. I don't use the merchant mushroom stands, just a simple <cheap> store stand. Within seconds I was trolled to heaven and hell by users who DEMANDED I quit my store because they were waiting for hours, double-clicking the maple.exe icon to see if the patch was live yet. Their names were written all over the FM.
I believe the group was called explosion. Something like that. That day I learned, truly, there are losers out there.
Most of those people have to be doing something else in between the constant checks, or while doing the constant checks. Otherwise they'd have gotten in ahead of you, theoretically.
That is depressing though. This is why I adore my little watcher app that notifies me when they come online. "set it and forget it" ftw
