as this is the "off topic board" ...

[Tolol]

... I have to make my voice heard and throw all my anger and pain in here !

Well, some of you maybe remember me ... I was a player in PS for a while and wrote some (better or worse) on the forums. *kidding*

But for that moron organization ... the german T-Com ... a bunch of retards and idiots and ... "try to's" ... "hopefully works then's"

Uuuah ... I am fed up with them, you wouldn't believe it.

Thursday (Oct 18th) - while playing PS - my Internet Connection broke down and didn't came back - a while later my telephone didn't work anymore ...

... and since Friday (Oct 19th) they're trying to fix it !!!!!

I called their hotline -   which was mistake # 1 (guess what, they have people on their hotline which are that bad at german language, that I wouldn't gave them a job as a sausage-seller ... and morons ... this woman did not understand what I wanted and made it even worse ... she put an order for a new telephone--connect at my address into her computer system)
- several hotline calls - hours in the waiting circle - I really searched someone to bite theyr head off

I went to their shop - Oh my ... mistake # 2  ( a bunch of cell-phone addicted telephone-sellers, but not a single expert for connections)
The one who was able to talk more then one complete sentence told me :  "about technical problem" (I answered ... "you want a quest, do you ?")

Well I am writing this at work ... and ... excuse me ... but I had to shout this out to the world !

And ... aah .... well, thanks for listening ... I will be back in game when they fixed it ... I hope it will be this year ... if not .... if you hear or read about a burning "T-Punkt" (so they call their shops) ... then guess who did it ... and be sure I will leave some Ulber-Claws there to proof that it was me.

Okay ... so it is 23 days without telephone and internet at home now ... and

DON'T ASK HOW I FEEL !

Consider it a vacation.

LOL When I read that "about" thing the first thing that came to mind was quests...nice insertion there. Funny rants make my day better

[Velh Krome]

Ouch the T-Com.. what you describe there, Tolol, is perfectly what almost everyone can tell about that unorganized and dilettante bunch of hedgers.
Really sorry to hear so, wont help you much, but I am with you=P

*snickers and rubs his hands watching out to spot flames over a capitalized magenta T *

[Sen]

Last time they needed half a year until they understood that I ordered (correctly) an adsl line. 

After paying the wrong, the double, and these in combination I had the second half year more or less for free

[LigH]

Once upon a time ... when I was a pupil in school, our arts teacher asked us to make a commercial object (packing, box, poster). I decided to create one for the "MAFIA" and thought about a font face matching to this organisation. Sitting in a tram, I imagined "antiqua" letters with extremely different stem widths and exaggerated "serifes" (similar to "Bodoni", or "Stencil" without gaps). And suddenly I saw a magenta "T" high on a building with just these attributes.

Imagine: The German Telecom managed to send me a date proposal to connect my phone, which was set for one day before the announcement letter was written...

[Rongar Elani]

"Buy today and get it already yesterday."

Hmm, that's actually a good slogan.

[Tolol]

well, I see there is more interest in this story than I expected.

So here you get some more details:

I moved from ***street 20b   to the same street number 53 in July.
And these days (the week befor last week) ... I received a letter from them sent to ***street 20b (old adress from June) which told me that my old line (at 20b) was cut on Oct 16th.

Not to mention that I already had phoned from #53 for nearly 3 month WITH my old phone-number .... and anything was fine

until ...

one of these retarded morons woke up and saw ... "uh oh ... this man has moved ... we should cut his line ... it is 3 months since then ..."

Well ... I asked in the T-Punkt what the idiot there would say about that ... He said ... "Uhm ... you moved ?" I said "Well I did ... but that was in July and the phone in my new flat already worked and now it doesn't" .... he said "Uhm ... so you moved?" I said "Moron, stop that 'Uhm'ing' and make my phone run ..." He said "must be about technical problems" I said "Here is your quest:  Make my phone and Internet run again, as it does a week ago ... stop'Uhm'ing' ... and fight some Ulbers after that ... and remember DO NOT LEAVE DEATH REALM, it's a good place for you ..."

I actually didn't say 'exactly' that but it sure is what I was thinking ...

This company sucks that much ... If I would write here the words I am actually thinking, I would be banned from the forums ... banned from the internet ... banned from the planets surface ...for all times !!

(but it feels good to write this down ... makes me calm down a bit ...

[Velh Krome]

Hm... maybe you didnt ask properly?
Here some suggestions:

about moving
about phone
give me phone
about cancelling contract

Although its possible you would have to vary order. As you know, those NPCs arent the most clever ones;)

Keep your head up there! \o/

[Tolol]

Yay, Velh ... as this is not the first time "dealing" with those ... my head still IS up and I found time to play some of my favourite "offline-games" the last days ... and this "phone-thing" is not THAT bad ... no bothering ... no advertising phone calls ... and those who want me to drink a beer with them ... take their beer and knock on my door ... YAY ... follow the white rabbit ...

[Sen]

But finally you will enjoy your master crafted phone line after all that running 

[Tolol]

Yay ... that will be IT ... a master-crafted phone-line

--

but to be honest ... by reading Velh's last post, something came to my mind ...

If you want to enter the Area in the T-Punkt where the most intelligent "NPC's" are located ... you have to solve several quests before.

* Tolol feels reminded to something he already complained about

Well ... I will go there today and ask for quests ... (maybe there's somebody called "Raithen" ...)

* Tolol packs his bag ... with his fire-daggers and some steel-stock in it

make my day ... Telecomic-Moron ...


edit:
err ... maybe I am the NPC then ?  This moron asked ME "about technical problem" ... so I should have sent him for the quest ?
But what would be my reward then ?
Uhm ... have to go home now ... I will miss my working internet here at work ... see you all tomorrow morning again ...if my boss hadn't killed me already ...

[Rongar Elani]

Meh, the Telekom has less sufficient knowledge about phones than this guy.



So I'd say, your quest is bugged

[Kieve]

...Wow. And I thought Verizon was innept. I'd give you a trophy, but an award for "Crappiest Telecom Service" is a bit like baking sugar-cookies for a diabetic. Special.

And I wouldn't go looking for that Raithen counterpart if I were you... I think he's probably the most frustrating NPC I've encountered (wanted to dangle him out that window by his heels on more than one occasion). I can only imagine how vexxing a real person would grate upon you.

"Fix my telephone!"
"No, no, no. We will not manage to understand each other this way."

[Tolol]

guess what !

It is still NOT working ...

I'm not far away from loosing my temper ...


Edit:

Update:

since Friday (Nov. 30th) my phone-line works again.   (This was 44 days)

my Internet-Connection is still down.  (47th day today)
