You’re not alone sir! I’m really sad to see what’s happened, and hope things work out somehow. Takes some courage to post that here → thanks for the honesty! You must have really loved playing before all the BS happened and caused you to lose interest. Glad to see that you still love it, even if most of us don’t care for some of the behavior and would like to leave that behind
I would love this myself. I think AGS has a chance to do something i’ve seen asked for in countless games. Let an actual community flock to a server who care about the server and its integrity as well as the integrity of its members. Why should the honest suffer when the dishonest live lucratively due to their dishonesty? I would ask that this server was watched closely and those that are dishonest are banned from the server after a thorough investigation. I also would ask that there be a ruleset that has to be agreed upon (much like the eula) explaining what is expected and breaking it would result in a perma-ban of your account if you are proven to have gone outside the ruleset. WoW players wanted something of this nature and i would 100% sign it and join it and help police it. Here’s to the Integrity server!
Wow…now after the transfers we really need some new servers without the dupes that happened.
I mean…one company with the video duping 6 million gold!? Others with rare mats?
I hope they get caught and banned. If not, that’s totally messing with everything. I thought I was doing great with 3 thousand gold saved up for my house… 6,000,000 is just mind-boggling. I wonder if that goes on sale for RL money soon in global?
Anyways…just wanted to vent. Wish I could just got to a fresh server and start over without all the stuff that’s happened. New character, no transfers…enjoy the game that I bought without all the exploits/bots/hacks that have happened. I know it would be a partial fix until the root cause is addressed, but at least I could have fun for a few days again.
I bet there are a TON of people out there who would jump on fresh servers and let those that duped and exploited go have fun where that’s happened. Of course, the people who did the exploits and dupes would protest the loudest about having people go…
Well, the interesting thing is my cousin and one of the guys in our company each got 500k going down to the newbie area to grab some saltpeter for more ammo. Trying to get engineering up a bit instead of just buying the 10’s of thousands of rounds on there now for .01 each.
Are they just tossing out a half-mil to random people to try and dump gold and avoid bans? I hope the ones who got it don’t get hurt…
Stay on the servers you’re at or have transferred to. I think there’s a solid group with reasons for wanting to start fresh on new servers that don’t have transfers.
Why does it harm anyone? Stay where you’re at. There’s lots of legitimate lvl 60’s out there who want to do so. Just as there are a bunch who have enjoyed the game and would do so again…on fresh servers without people who (unlike you…you got there by working for it, and deserve to stay where you’re at with everything you’ve worked for) exploited and duped a bunch to get ahead.
Cool! Yeah, no worries! A few new servers would be the way to go. If people don’t want that, then you won’t see any population there. But…I have a feeling just the opposite would happen.
Go watch this video and some of the ones over on the right as you go to it. Summarizes quite well some of the things desperately needing looked at:
I mean I’m on the original server I started with first… it’s a medium server and I dont think we were affected by the gold dupe cuz it would require someone transfering TO our server…
I understand where your coming from but if you think about it, theres so many servers available now that I’m sure you could find one with a low enough population to literally consider it fresh
I bet there’s not a single server where someone hasn’t used the invulnerability and/or lag exploit in a war, or fished/fought afk to get gold and levels. Every server will have someone who’s camped the bugged boars/bears/boss spawns for hours.
Now that those have been adjusted, it only makes sense to open up a few completely new servers so that people who want to try the game without all that and the new duping exploits, can do so.
