Making this a sticky for the sake of people not miss this post. This is what gameforge did to tera: - New weapon skin, costume, or mount: pay 5 euro and get a CHANCE of obtaining the new item you want. or else get a total garbage item thats useless. And if you get it: its 7 days, 30 days, or permanent. Guess wich ones has more chance of success. - PVP guild vs guild fights making the game client crash if its more then 5vs5 people for a long time. - No active GM's ingame EVER. - Fake server online page. - Support that writes you back automated replies only, even on lengthy tickets written in detail. - Get a police car mount (imagine that in blade & soul people driving in police cars) for 200 euro + extra items. not a joke. - Removing valuable nessacery items from dungeons as much as they can so people buy it for real money. - No banning of wintraders or bug abusers. But bad launguage gets you 7 or 14 day chat mute without a problem. even if they provoked you by doing a bug abuse or wintrading or otherwise. - High ping servers for europe players on a europe server. - Bugged launcher since day one to when i quit (and probaly still) where sometimes the game wouldnt update, broke itself during a update or the play button wont work. - Dead servers not being merged. Seriously dead servers. Then at some point they dont merge servers, they discount their server transfer coupons in their pay shop by ~25%. - Removing higher gold gambling ingame because the company is against gambling. The irony...
http://corporate.gameforge.com/en/about/ i found a good website full of jokes. makes me giggle every time. pls note the award for "outstanding employers".
Gameforge be like: "Oh, you need about 2000 MES to Masterwork your weapon? Okay, lemme just remove it from every single daily quest and dungeon except 1, then add some new Enigmatic Scrolls to the shop that have 0.1% to drop chance from the chest that you buy."
well yeah gameforge is a succesful company. but not for the players. i really hope it will come back to them one day.
I fled from Aion EU to Aion NA and later from Tera EU to Tera NA I can't express how happy I am they don't have their claws on BnS
Thank god ncsoft actually wanted to overlook the game itself not hand it over for lameforge to slaughter it within 6 months of release
