Quote:I have to agree with GG's logic here as well. One would think that if something as simple as a server merge, or even a price hike was of interest to NCSoft, then they would have done so. Even a 12 month 'sunset' period and a gradual extension into i24 might have made sense. The move smacks of ulterior motives, which alas, would suggest that they will not be remotely interested in sound economic thinking.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I would - but I get the feeling that NCSoft simply doesn't want the game anymore - they could have scrapped the secret project, reduced the dev team, merged the servers, even gone into maintenance mode of they wanted to. -

Was paying 5 accounts !
To my family this is a cheap way of having fun together. Each Saturday we play 3-4 hrs.
I would gladly pay 5 accounts 1 year in front !
I have maintained two accounts since Launch date, for my wife and I. As our kids have grown old enough we have also obtained accounts for them. We have had 4 VIP accounts active since just before Freedom went live, and we have been contemplating a 5th as our youngest is nearly old enough to start playing.
Even with no new content, and just a maintenance of the current service, I would gladly commit to 5 accounts at $19.99 per month for the next year if it meant my family and I could continue to enjoy this game.
Half the reason my kids learned to read was so they could choose mission arcs for themselves!
Hear us, NCSoft! -
Just stumbled on this thread at it looks like a fun idea!
Is there a standard meeting place to form up? -
I'd like to weigh in with the folks above here as well.
I was fighting in the same league as Texas Justice, and experienced similar frustrations. I'd also note that this created a bit of a situation for some characters who then no longer had the means to safely traverse Eden and return to Founders Falls. (I tried to assist where I could guys - sorry)
It would be nice to discover whether this was an intentional design choice for the event, or simply something that was not previously considered. Can a RedName weigh in on this?
If this was merely an oversight, then c'est la vie. Perhaps it could be addressed before the next round of similar events?
On the other hand, if this is an intentional design of the story/event, then I suggest it would be best to notify players ahead of time in some way. Last night, even if a player had a level 50 on the Freedom server, they had no way of knowing that this would be needed. Information would be key in avoiding player discontent, at least in this instance.
A big banner somewhere, stating something like "all players are invited to participate in this server-wide event, however, certain aspects of the event will take place in zones only accessible to to characters with a minimum level of xx; please plan accordingly," would go a long ways in this type of thing.
That all said, this seemed like a pretty good event. I had a lot of fun, until I had to bail out because I was playing my level 36 Blaster.
However, to keep players happy, and in particular the flood of new players that Freedom is hoping to snag, IMHO it would be best to clarify the requirements for full participation in any future events of this kind. -

I'm not sure you meant it this way, but your statement sort of implies that those of us that haven't been around since day 1 can't be "true faithfuls".
I'm not so much interested in whether people started the 'day of launch' or maybe a week or even more after that, due to whatever circumstances may have arisen.
It seems that the 'start date' as become increasingly irrelevant as the devs have made some alterations to the reward system in any event.
Really, what I was wondering was more like this:
How many people who started playing/paying either at launch, or some short time thereafter, have remained paid subscribers on an essentially continuous basis (allowing for things like unintentional lapses of a few days) up to the present day ?
It was certainly NOT my intention to point fingers or to derrogate in any way anyone who has not done so. And of course, soemone who just signed up yesterday could be a 'true faithful' in some sense of the term.
I hope that clarifies, without offending. -
Okay so that's roughly 6 or 7 of us who raised their hands as expecting 78-month badges by the end of the month...
There's got to be more than that! Anyone think that a mod might have access to and be willing to share such a statistic?
It would be interesting to know just how many die hard, true faithfuls have been around since day one, continuously (or roughly day one). -
This has actually got me to wondering...
Just how many accounts are there that will receive the newest vet award on the 28th?
In other words, how many of us have played since launch, and never let our accounts lapse?
