Too much is too much

From the Announcements post (I'm not surprised there is no Discussion post to go with this):

Quote:

The PlayNC website will be offline for an extended maintenance tomorrow, 4/4/2012. Purchasing Paragon Points, the PlayNC Store and all billing related services will be unavailable starting at 5:00 AM PDT/7:00 AM CDT/2:00 PM BST/15:00 CEST until 12:00 PM PDT/2:00 PM CDT/8:00 PM BST/21:00 CEST. We apologize for the inconvenience and will work to have all services back online as soon as possible.
This is an outrage.

A slap in the face.

How am I supposed to buy Paragon Points when the site is down?

Billing services too?

What if my account expires?

Will I lose out on the Loyalty Program?

This is so unfair to those that are living in areas that this comes in their prime time.





















Okay. Someone had to be the maroon that posted something like that. At least this time it was someone making a joke.


If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Ducked in to do something with it while I remembered.

You know what IS too damn sodding much?

Every, EVERY fething smeg-headed time I try to get into my account, it asks me to do the whole damn 'Verify Account' schtick.

How many times do I have to do this sodding thing for the bloody system to remember? What muck futhering idiot tech monkey do I have to slap to get this thing to work for once? Seriously?!

NC's web design staff are monkeys. One-handed brain-dead monkeys. I am honestly sick of this....

Sounds as if your IP address changes regularly.

The only time I have to go through the Verify Account stuff is if I'm at a completely different location since my public IP address at home doesn't change and my the public IP address at work doesn't change.

Pretty much every ISP provides dynamic IP, only a few even offer the option of paying extra to have a static one.

Since they can't take my money during that time, does that give me an excuse to yell "shut up"?

...the Loyalty Program is over. If your account expires and isn't already set up to auto-renew, it won't affect your standings in the LP.

Just in case anyone read your post and decided to start panicking over it.

I think you are over reacting, maintenance has to be done or eventually it would all come to a screeching halt. So for those few hours you won't be able to buy points to buy w/e costume piece you randomly feel you need and don't have... like you can't buy it the next day?

As far as billing services if your account expires on that day exactly (which I doubt it does) your card would likely be billed weather before or after said window, and your account will likely be billed before or after the maintenance window if you use time cards simply buy one and apply before said date. if you need switch which card you use do it before the window like the day before.

It is a few hours man, not the end of the world real or digital.

Um... I had this happen to me once. It was a virus. A nasty one. One that reports your stuff to evil people. My bank's website kept asking me for my info.

Worse, I called them about it, and the first time, they acutally said "yeah, that sounds about right. Perhaps your browser isn't saving the cookies or such..."

Second time I called, they were definitely all "whoa, whoa, whoa... it wants WHAT?... No, that's not right. You need to check the computer..."

Took me a while... and I wound up formattin' the drive and startin' over. Nuke from orbit, only way to be sure, after all.

AND I changed all my info about, so they couldn't get in. Thankfully, nothing happened, so I guess I caught it in time...

Just sayin'. Sounded similar. In case it matters.


August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Sounds about right to me. maybe he should contact NCSoft, but if his ISP rotates his IP address through a wide enough range, I could see this happening.

Don't forget, this is the company whose web staff determined that it's a safety risk to

Have a cookie last past closing a broswer window

or


Have a change of IP address. In an age of mobile devices. Yeah, thanks for punishing me for having an interest in your site because I may have passed through a Wifi zone and forcing me to relog on the horrible for mobile devices skin.

I mean, these people have more stringent security than my bank, and my banks security is just fine.

You even quoted the very last line, and still didn't read it.

Reminds me of one of my favorite threads from Yesteryear: "Generic Rant."


"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"

"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

This reminds of the generic rant posts you still see from time to time on other game forums.

Ah, I miss the good ol' days of the GameFAQS forums.

My ISP assigns random addresses to every user when they log onto the network, and we are required to set up our connections to acquire an IP automatically. There's nothing to yell at them about, that's standard practice in the entire country. That's why I find IP-tracking to be a pointless gimmick. Unlike physical addresses, IPs change on their own.
