• • Buddy Key Frozen after TWO days! Not Happy :(

    Hello,

    its very sad what happend and I can imagine how you feel. I know you have probably tried that, but if not, try to login into the game to see if your account is really unplayable. Maybe that email is some automatic reaction on your subs. cancel.

    If you really cant login into a game, I am sure that CS can help you. If you didnt get answer after 24hrs in work days, try to send mail again tomorow. I sometimes didnt get reply on mails send on weekends (maybe they get lost in huge amount of mails).

     

    You can also poke me and I will get on this for you. It does seem the problem happen with maybe the payment because "Frozen" is not the same as being "Banned". These are two different flags all together and I'm sure we (or CS) can find out why for you.

    I believe I can toss you a few extended trials or at least a few more buddy keys to try it out. The system is not always perfect and sometimes issues do happen but we will look into it.

• • PVP Patch?

    I heard a while back that they were going to bring out a major patch that would add to the PVP aspect of the game. You could become a murderer if you wanted too and would have access to certain areas and towns. Anybody know of this?

     

    You can find out more information here: community.ageofconan.com/wsp/conan/frontend.cgi

    The focus right now is just as you explained it with the criminals having more "black market" type of areas open for them to help keep the system balanced. This would help open and expand systems such as bounty hunters and so on. Which would really help mature a very robust player-versus-player system overall. Something that adds a little more detail with each enhancement that can help add more meaning to player-versus-player in the long run.

    However, that's just the ideas being shot around at the moment and im sure more on that will develop later on down the road.

• • AoC... a huge let down.

    xpiher,

    I had no intention of going into detail about the whole GMs lacking integrity issue when I had originally posted this thread. Basicly, my intent was to post a non-biased and accurate assessment of how I, personally see the game in its current state. 

    AoC has been, and still is an absolutely beautiful platform of a game. It has tons of potential, and I would not want to mislead anyone to that fact. However, the game is being managed, updated and monitored in an extremely poor fashion that is leading to incidents such as this, and it is become more and more common place as anyone can see within its own community.

    Issues like these can not be openly discussed on the FunCom forums, the moderators there will lock down any thread that deals with anything of a serious nature almost instantly.

    I did not expect FC-Famine to know of my personal experience, however when he sent me a private message here saying that he looked into it, and spoke to the customer service manager and they "claim" to never had an issue like this, he opened the can of worms.  I have absolutely no reason to be comming onto the MMORPG.com forums, wich I have been a member of for several years, and ruin my reputation here by lying to the community. And the way he worded his message to me was offensive, and suggested that I was in fact doing that.

    Now some other people have posted up about the GM accounts being transferable, and to me, this is just total crap if this is in fact the truth. I was upset previously with the way they handle things, but this... this is just stupidity on their part.

    Personally, I am finished with the game. I had entertained thoughts of going back, giving it some time, etc.. however now that some of this stuff has come to light, I am just disgusted with FunCom and its lack of ethics altogether.

    * sorry for ranting there.. just a bit agrivated at the whole situation now.

     

    Let me go ahead and jump in here now and address a few things.

    I normally browse the forums daily to convey feedback and engage issues that might come up. When issues do come up, I feel it’s good to look into those issues as much as possible to ensure any help that is needed is given.

    When issues are brought up in the forums it can be a little tricky. That’s because it’s our policy to ensure all issues that relate to ones account are kept private. That’s why we use communication channels like private messages to ensure any relayed information is also kept private. Making things more public in that regards is not up for me to make and that is why such channels are used DevilHawk.

    Speaking on our questions relating to any issue or report, we ask them to understand the report. We do have a lot of issues that we handle on a daily basis that cannot be revealed at the snap of a finger. Thus it’s best not to just assume but instead to ask a question. That way we can better understand the root of the issue so that we can offer any help if help is so desired. I’m sorry if this was misunderstood in the message DevilHawk but the intent was to better understand the issue and not to say you were incorrect.

    In that, I personally rely on putting my trust into everyone. That’s why I take time to look into the issues brought up here when I can. I do understand that sometimes matters do slip between the cracks but I will do my best to look into it as much as I can for the people that cannot be here.

    Thanks,

    I'm pretty sure Joel is the guy who also worked on the quests in Ymir's with which more can be read here: forums-tl.ageofconan.com/showthread.php

     

    Correct, he is one of the main guys behind it. :)

• • Server Merges Official?

    I knew from day 1 there would be server merges. Interest in the game was far higher than expected at launch, of course, due to worn-out WoW players looking for another game. As a result FC opened new servers to accomodate the flood.

     

    Indeed, but again the original quote is not on server merges. There were questions posed to the developers at the recent Dragoncon panel. You can find the log here.

    I understand there is a lot of feedback on the subject but the idea of taking a discussion on character transfers and conforming it into server merges is not the intention of the original post.

     

    
     

    I take it that will be  PAYED character transfers ?

     

    No official word on that but they are looking into the system at hand. Just wanted to stress here that there are no server merges planned and the quote was taken from a discussion on character transfers not server merges.
