Ok, so it’s done. Just wanna get a couple things out of the way first though.
For those who haven’t submitted it already, here’s the link for the customer service survey:

Also, please link this thread as well as the actual petition link to your sig. This involves every single person playing the game, and people need to know what’s going on.
For those who wanted to print out the actual letter and send it in to the offices, let me find a way to upload the document. I’ll also post some addresses along with them.
I’d like to make a preface before I go on to the actual letter, as I think it’s important for people to understand where I’m coming from and why I wrote this letter. I'm currently in Kaizen linkshell on Quetzalcoatl, accomplished just about everything I’ve wanted to as an individual, and I’ve helped my linkshell accomplish just about everything one LS can do. For what I’ve done, I’m quite happy, and for what my LS has done, I’m even prouder. So from that standpoint, I’m really quite content and have been for a long time.
What I’m really trying to say, is that with this letter I don’t have any personal intents, or ambitions, no desires to get something out of it for myself. I’m not writing this to gain popularity and I’m not writing this because I thought it’d be fun. I’m writing this because I see something that is woefully unfair, something that is egregiously wrong. Though we may not be able to always fix what might be unjust, if we have a chance to say something, do something, change something, then we should take that chance.
A while ago, in which were probably the very first cases, two longstanding members of my linkshell, Harb and Xtereem, had their accounts stolen. One theft we didn’t find out about for a long time because he was so busy, but the other occurred right in front of my eyes, and I was powerless to stop it. To see something that has been built up for years right alongside you in all your quests, your adventures, and in fulfillment of your hopes, to be taken away while you’re sitting there is indescribable. In the simplest word possible, it was heartbreak.
One of them asked me to help him out and call POL for him since it’d cost him way too much to make a foreign call. But I kept putting it off and putting it off because somewhere in the back of my mind, I just knew that the creeps at POL would say no. I eventually did call but I guess you can figure out where that one went. The other one posted his goodbye in my linkshell forums, thanking everyone for his times and friendships over the years. I read the first two lines of that and just closed the page. I did that because I refused to accept his goodbye, because I didn’t want to admit that he could just be gone so easily. To this day, I still refuse to read it.
So why do I write this?
I write this for X and Harb.
I write this for my friends.
And I write this for you, the community.
I don’t want to lose anymore friends, and neither should you.
This petition is my refusal to accept that they’re gone. I know that there are others who feel the same as me. And I don’t think I’m the only one who wants to believe that things can be changed. So I ask that you guys read this, and help me and others around you to change something. This is our chance, and we need to rally and collectively make use of it. I think at this point, I’ve done about all I can in trying to encourage people to read and support the petition. For it to work, this can’t rely on me. It has to rely on you guys to make it happen. So read this letter. Sign it. Speak your voice. Tell others. Take a stand. Change something in unison.
Thank you for reading my story, and please sign this petition.
