Free Character Transfer Rescheduled

[Tellahh]

Here it is, in a nut shell, Tellahh.

Don't like the way NC Soft is running things? Don't like the way the game is played?

THEN QUIT.

Seriously, stop the crying/moaning/complaining. You pay the same 15 bucks a month that we all do. Some of us, like you, got separated from our friends. Some of us get steam rolled hourly trying to exit town (ie: Red Mane). However, you don't see us (well, not all of us) crying about it every day on the forums. You think you're the only person with these problems? You think the world revolves around you and that everyone should bend to your will just to make you happy? Grow the hell up.

Man.. for me of all people to be saying this. Things must have gotten bad enough.

And on a lighter note for me to ask... y so srs?


Edit: Oh, and by the way. Since you seem to have forgotten, even though you say you played FFXI for a long time. Welcome to the MMO World and its lovely customer service. Get used to it (again).

Edit2: Why am I posting, let alone awake, at 9:40 am? wtf! WTB Sleep.

Protip: I already said I'm fucking quitting, this game is bullshit now lol. It's just shame I'm already paid up till the 16th of next month.

And btw this is the FIRST time I've QQed about Asmo steamrolling and other NCSoft BS, in fact the very first thread. Crying every day my ASS. I lived on Kaisinel for MONTHS and I never said shit on boards pre-merge, I ate my shit-sandwich with a smile, so quit your bandwagoning you pathetic clod.

The biggest qualm I have with this isn't even the Asmo dominance (not denying it's a factor), but it's how they went about this. I'm not lieing when I said I have 5~ friends left on Vaizel the rest on Siel/Isra (they all got the fuck out first transfer and they fucked up mine), even if I wanted to do something other then PVP I'm fucked to do it with flunkies in pick ups. Fuck That.

And to why I'm so serious, as you said I pay the same 15 dollars as you, but I don't like pissing my money away.
Read again: I am quitting, just in case you missed it a fourth fucking time.

Inb4 "youmads?" and "cry moar"

QQ more, i'm sure that will make all your problems dissapear.

Naw but unsubbing (already done) sure as hell will ^-^~

Seriously, if you are going to quit, just do it. I don't think anyone appreciates having to read the regurgitated mess that you are spewing onto the forums.

Unsubscribe your account, shut down the computer, walk outside, enjoy life.

For the love of whatever "god" people worship, stop the QQing. You sound worse than my little cousins.

[altwight]

Having the ability to log on both Elyos and Asmo on the same server is so fun.


Rifting in Eltnen @ KHQ on our asmo my buddy and I ran into a 48 cleric solo'n Chieftain Shaku. We proceed to destroy said cleric. After doing so, we log on our Elyos clerics and pull. While fighting the same cleric makes her way back to Shaku and stands there.


What would go on in your mind if this happened to you? It's priceless.

She went on to train us and it was an epic 35 minute battle of us killing each other and then we finally killed for the staff.

Or you could just y'know... not read it? I'm not forcing you to read my rants, but yeah I'm ranting. This is one of the biggest fuckups in MMO history (on the whole), I'm truly sorry for you if you don't realize this lol.

Looks like NCsoft actually listened to the playerbase for a change:

Hello to all,

It’s been a while since I’ve addressed the community, and with all that’s happening, it’s probably a good time to provide an update. Since Aion Producer Chris “Kinslon” Hager is out due to an unpreventable leave of absence, I’ll be providing information to you. While we expect him back in the office within a couple of weeks, we didn’t want to wait to provide you with information on our status.

We’ve had a busy summer already and have accomplished some positive things. Our release of 1.9 brought some nice improvements to the game. We were especially glad to release this update as it introduced many changes based on the feedback we collected from players in North America and Europe. We’ve also merged some of the servers to revitalize the server population. While no one looks forward to conducting a merge, we felt it was important to provide a vibrant social experience for the community. We had seen player concurrency dropping off some and had been diligent in removing RMT or bot accounts, so a server merge was a good way to bring the community back together.

Since then, we’ve been allowing free character transfers so as to resolve any character faction conflicts. However, we soon noticed a disturbing trend. Players were migrating in such a way that caused an unbalanced faction ratio in the servers, negating a primary reason for the recent merge. We had to make the hard decision to disable transfers and revisit our plan.

In plain terms, it is our duty and obligation to provide a fun and fair environment for players. I know this wasn’t a popular decision, but the alternative would be servers with one faction totally dominating the other and a self-perpetuating situation of player discouragement and abandonment for the minority faction or no challenge at all for the dominating faction. Right now, all the associated Aion teams are working on a solution to allow character transfers to resume with appropriate limits in place to prevent radically unbalanced servers. In the interim, we will be selectively disabling new character creation for specific races on specific servers temporarily as another tool to help balance the factions in each server. For instance, if you’re playing on a predominantly Elyos server, Asmodian creation will be the only race available for new characters. While we intend to enact this change only temporary, we hope that this limited selection process will have positive server balance effects in the long term.

We’re particularly anxious to reach a resolution on this as we do have some great things we’re working on. We’ve got a reactivation campaign rolling to invite players back to see the changes we’ve introduced with 1.9. On top of that, we’ve got the next major expansion, Aion®: Assault on Balaurea™, in the final stages of testing. We’re showing our serious commitment to you, our players, by providing this as a free downloadable expansion for our current users, as well as offering an upgraded client at retail outlets.

I’m personally excited to see not only the new Aion: Assault on Balaurea instances and play mechanics coming, but also that the Aion development team has shown very creative thinking with the new pet system. It’s pretty cool to see the usefulness of these creatures, which can carry items for you to effectively increase your inventory space, alert you when enemies are nearby, and even create items out of your otherwise unwanted drops. I’m also encouraged by the astute observations of our Game Analysis Team, which tracks potential issues received from the community or staff. This team tracks the data behind subjective feedback and provides metrics that indicate potential problem areas. Finally, we continue to strengthen our already strong relationship with the game development team, and I’ve seen some recent demonstrations of its members’ support that are inspiring. I’m excitedly looking forward to what we have to offer even beyond our next update.

I’d like to thank all of you who are so committed to Aion and to let you know that I appreciate the fact that you’re a critical component of the game. I’m honored to be working on a game with so many passionate fans, and I hope we can continue to provide you hours of fun and enjoyment.

Faith and Arms,

Lance Stites
Executive Vice President, Game Operations and Production

"Oops."
