Rant: Hacks are ignored by Nightlife

So many people with NL... Don't sound too hot at the mo so I think I'll wait till J.M. has it all figured out and running smoothly.
He claims it will be 6-8 weeks before he gets it. And judging by how long it took him to get University I don't think he's bullshitting either.
MokeyHokey:
But, he was modding for Uni before he got it, so one can hope and pray to whomever that he can do the same again. I didn't realize just how dependent I was on the phone hack till now... >:(
Brynne:
Where the hell did he order from, that it takes 6-8 weeks! I've seen places with free shipping, or even the lowest paid shipping where it would only be 5-7 business days, or something. Motoki, you weren't kidding about the Pony Express! Maybe he could at least upgrade to the Thoroughbred Express.
Baddmark:
In one of the NL threads, Mr. Maxoid was offered a highly populated neighbourhood to test, but declined saying "we can generate high population NHs ourselves" (or something similar). I bet that those Maxis HQ neighbourhoods aren't the same as one that has been played to that size. It wouldn't take long for them to realise the constant phone ringing is a royal pain in the ass. Especially when you get "why haven't you called? CLICK" and think "OK I'll ring you back and talk if that's what you want" only to get "so and so is at work unlike someone I know". WTF? Then gimmee his work number, dammit! If he can ring me from work with a crank call he can accept a call from me! I'd bet a million simoleons that if Maxis had played a neighbourhood to a decent size they would have spotted the jump bug a bit sooner, too.

Free shipping is highly insecure. My shipping has to go through a secure process of blind drops and screenings to make sure that the EA tracking number has become thoroughly disconnected from its previous buyer. It doesn't help that one of the regions it will be passing through is currently a warzone, so that may cause delays.
