Breaking News: Chatacter Transfers Extended!!!
By
Bindweed,
Posted on: 2010-03-10 18:09 in The European Lounge
Dunno about you but I'm looking at a pretty big ******* message about pre-ordering GR, with suitably large promotional images about it.
Hmm, weird Poptart.
Cause what I see in my EU updater aswell are the following:
"Will you follow the path of Going Rogue" (With Link in the GR)
"Free character transfers have been extended
Free character transfers have been extended until the end of of february 2010......"
"Issue 16 is live!"
.....
If it was the 1 one (Will you follow the path), well it says not spesifically anything about preordering GR. Was this what you see when you start your updater? (and before pushing "next")
Then I guess you play on the US server. Right?
That is what Scarlet (I believe) is trying to make a point out of. The US servers (well Launcher) is the one that gets updated. The EU only gets updated when A. The Eu community says something like "err... is it not time to change the updater info? Its soon 14+ days..." or
B. Someone in the company (before it has gone 14 days) thinks... "Whops we forgot to update the EU" or something.
Was I right Scarlet?
The above sentiment is one of the reasons why I do feel neglected. Thus I hope the Developers and the company destroy (if it exists) any hurdle that prevents them from making the complete playerbase (aka the two communities) into ONE community. One updater to keep updated, one server list with all servers present, one community...
I'm talking about what has become my hope for the community: Server List Merge.

I think this is what Scarlet was trying to point out Poptart
This is the EU updater - look at the date and information that is displayed

Yet another example of how important the EU player base is to NC

The NA updater does look a lot more nifty than ours But thats always been the case really. Never use the updater for accurate information anymore anyway.

Saw this thread on my mobile at lunchtime and only saw the start of the thread title 'Breaking News: Chatacter Transfers...'
As such I initially had high hopes that it was the announcement that they were bringing in EU-US transfers or similar.
To find out it was just another thread pointing out that NC don't seem to give a damn about the EU operation was disappointing.
Not surprising, just disappointing.

Maybe that's why they're not merging server lists - when the supervolcano under Yellowstone goes bang and the West Coast sinks into the Pacific we'll actually become the main customer base.
From memory... I *think* it's under Yellowstone isn't it?

I bypass the updater so I never see any of the news that get posted there. Only time I use it is when a new patch comes out. I prefer to get my updated news here on the forums.

And if the Canary islands slide into the sea we'll become the only customer base. But there won't actually be a game left to play then.

I was actually more worried about the effects of the supervolcano - not checked but I'm imagining it being heavy on the 'nuclear winter'-style atmospheric particulates.|

Or something along those lines... posting from a bar so you can't really expect high standards of spelling, grammar or lucidity!

This will happen of course, because Carni is right about NCSoft being tied in to the cyclical universe.|

Or else The Beyonder is real, and wants his vet rewards moved from Union to Freedom.

Interesting to note, the updater screen has been updated today.

Nothing about DXP, GR or any vaguely relevant marketing message going on here. The Updater is almost a fortnight behind the times and nobody even gives a damn.
How poor!!! Another example of Paragon Marketing fail!
