Quote:I think your horror story is more horrid than mine.Irony of ironies, I recently just went through some hairy stuff with NCSoft support since I was being billed for an account that no one has apparently played since 2006.
Where's the irony, you ask? Well, I had seven _known_ accounts on one card a while back, and then the change of policy went through where five was the limit. I marked down my five "keeper" accounts and kept a close eye on them, not realizing that NCSoft didn't mind taking money for a sixth account that I don't have any records of.
They can't even tell me the name of the account.
Sounds like it's time for NCSoft to rethink their account card holder privileges policies. -

Quote:I don't see how it's any different from five people with five characters on five computers, vs. two people with five characters on two computers. Everything was paid for. Well, guess I just don't get it.
Five seperate accounts on one credit card. That's it. I dunno either, we tripped some internal spambot detector or something. <many bad words>
Oh, and all the EU folks, you forget, I won you in a poker game. You're mine. -
Quote:That's... Wow. You know, there are few things that cause me to really hulk out, but people preventing me from GIVING them my money for their services is one of the few that will. I realise it's a case of theft prevention, but as the grade school teacher said to the little kids - USE YOUR WORDS! If there's suspicion of a stolen credit card, verify it. There are channels for just that purpose.
Man... I feel for you, Lady. That sucks.
Hulk out... yeah, that's a good description of my conversations with Support. -
Quote:Is that 5 NCSoft accounts or 5 CoH accounts on one NCSoft account?
I am up to 3 so I guess I better know.
5 seperate accounts. I can't do it on my laptop, but my desktop could run two instances at once. I'd run a MM set to follow on a corrupter and just tear up <bleeps> villainside. It was sick. Just sick. My husband could run 3 instances on his, two defenders, one on auto heal and one to auto SB, and his scrapper could do things that... well... maybe that's why they wouldn't let me resub cuz that was so many shades of wrong. -

Quote:Yikes, that sucks. You would think that if they were concerned about 5 accounts on one credit card that they would contact you or the credit card company in order to make sure it is legit.
If I was the credit card company and I was able to identify you as the card owner and you said that the 5 subs were YOURS then I don't see what the issue is.
If NCSoft was that worried about credit card fraud then they should have contacted the credit card company and asked if it had been reported stolen. (Companies are allowed to say yes or no without giving out personal information. I used that tactic when I was working in retail loss prevention.) OR NcSoft should have contacted the owners of the accounts to verify them.
Anyway, welcome back.
Yeah, it's NCs rule. I use that card all the time, it's a debit card but can function as a Visa credit card for online purchases. Any time there's a questionable purchase, the bank calls us to verify it. We ok it (so far) and it's done. NCSofts account billing screen automatically declines the purchase, each and everytime. And yeah, I'm just BMWing about it now. I talked with support way back when it first happened and they couldn't help either. You'd think they'd want people to resub but... guess not. -

You know that annoying rule about only allowing a certain number of accounts on one credit card? Do you remember me talking about dual-boxing and my husband triple-boxing?
5 accounts is, apparently, too many for a decent person to have for any reason. I can't pay by credit card ever again. I can't say more than that on the official forums without getting modsmacked for really foul language. Needless to say <bleeped growls and general anger>. -

I know... and in only 6 or so months... I gotta work on my undefinable rage more.

Have I been gone so long that I don't know anyone anymore? Who are you people!?!

Quote:Ain't that the troof!
I think it's funny, and sad at the same time, that the I.T industry has so few companies that use telecommuting technology. The reason? Because people can't be trusted!
But you and I aren't regular people Athyna, we play Co*, so they should trust us!!
OMG, I so agree.
I talked to them about an opening after Cuppa left and they didn't allow telecommuting then.
Dude! Lookit mah post count! I kin do that!

Quote:I remember being up against Pilcrow in the most helpful poster category. I also remember thinking that I was screwed.
Man, I miss pilcrow.
You and me both. Which still confuses me... how anyone could possibly put me in with you and Pilcrow is... I dunno. Now if there were a psycho catagory added, I'd go for that.
*side-note - Wasn't it Pilcrow that won for best forum avatar one year and within a week his avatar was banned?

Ooooh... I see... I think. I thought they meant me since I'm pretty durned pale.
