  1. GS already have such rights. They cannot sit all day and police the game though, there are times when a lot of the team are asleep or doing their own thing outside of the network. We understand that this is a main issue though and the staff are working on ways to address this. Unfortunately when games are low in population they tend to inherit such behaviours. There is a lot of things we can do to help stop such activities but it won't ever be fully in the direction you hope it is.
  2. You're right and we do understand you and @Astraea point of view here. We did say we're slowly tinkering though and it's not even been 24 hours since the patch. Give it time and see how things unfold but please note our motives are not driven by the lining in our pockets, we've just got a server that is almost 6 years old and we've made a fair few mistakes there to learn from. May I also add, Viridian Stones have grown by 40% in the last 12 hours and there have been a huge amount of Stones used as well so this change applied has made a big difference. I even took it upon myself to monitor players who purchase EC via gold or AP and it's not just a surge from AP buyers here.
  3. It really was, I do recall wanting to do it few years ago but after researching further it just didn't seem like it would have a good shelf life and it proved that even on official.
  4. Dragomon was an interesting game and it really caught my attention when it first released. I don't think it done as well as I expected and it's definitely not a game I'd bring to VGN. Right now as it stands, I have no intentions on working on a project myself for a good while. Mainly because I am still recovering and will be for a long time, I do not have the capacity to work the hours I once did and may never be able to again.
  5. I believe with Step 1 of our approach this should close the gap a lot. Many F2P players already spend gold on EC so it's not as if it's forcing them to do something they don't want to do. Viridians being more attainable will definitely improve the situation and obviously it's been much harder this week on the basis many people are holding Safety Stones for their new gear which releases tomorrow.
  6. We've decided on some smaller steps for now before making any drastic changes like this. Although the suggestion is good and I thank you for understanding both sides. I have identified there is a need for more Safety Stones but we want to take it slow given we do not want to flood the game like it is on Awaken now. We never took it upon ourselves to remove Stones like official do monthly so it is ruined in terms of making it feel like an achievement for gaining such heights in the game at Awaken, we do not want to repeat such mistakes.
  7. Not my finest hour I understand that but we've said numerous times we're working on a solution and yet you all still keep pushing like we're not listening. We are in our rights to challenge suggestions are we not? We can state something will not work and that doesn't mean we're being assholes. Yukani had no right to try and take small pieces of information and use them to make a case look bad. It was explained that we always intended to launch as 60 cap and used 55 during Beta to amend anything necessary. Yukani took it upon herself to make it look like we're doing wrong by doing 3 caps in 3 months to justify her opinions (which is wrong). You have to remember Beta was 2 weeks long and we jumped into the initial launch cap (which is 60) and then have not done another cap till last week. I stated that as a pathetic/weak attempt (which it was) and then they took it upon themselves to use false facts to vent their anger and try and better themselves in a position they knew they were approaching from a weak angle, to then taking things personal whilst not expecting a response from me? Everyone knows I am respectful within my boundaries but the fact you want to take personal jabs with false information really pisses me off and you'll get the manner of respect back (which I know in times can be wrong, I am in a position of power here, but don't ever question my integrity and my will to produce a great network for this community as that's everything I live for). I take things bad when false facts from people who don't know the whole picture try and use that against us to better their judgement. You just have to understand we do not always see your side of the argument as we have to always look at the whole picture. Players who offer feedback and suggestions in most cases usually take a tunnel vision approach to fix their one problem, this isn't how we think and we have to look at the whole picture all the time before deciding. Granted again, not my finest hour and I do apologise but when I am on your side and have been playing the game these last 2 weeks whilst looking for solutions on many other areas to then be challenged as if we're not doing anything and then thrown false claims at us to better their approach I lost my shit as would you. The biggest issue here is the fact you don't see any wrong in their approach though, that's what worries me because I've remained professional until then and challenged suggestions on this subject. We've stated we're working on it, how many times do you need to be told? Just wait
  8. You were banned so you and your boyfriend would go to ticket instead of this nonsense on the forums. You'll be unbanned once you appeal and sort this mess out. You clearly have an image painted of myself and the Team without true facts and it's not a place for the forums every time things don't go your way.
  9. Clueless? Sure, you just don't like what you're hearing and that's fine. As for a low IQ, I'm not the one repeating myself every 5 seconds even though an answer has been given I really have no idea why it went this way tbh, you're the one assuming I am offending people because aside from my last post wtf did I say? I disagreed with people and said we're working on a solution for the 100th time. I am sure in the pipeline my first answers were probably polite but, after repeating myself a ton of times and you're not listening there is surely going to be some annoying jabs here and there because you're not listening. I didn't just disappear like they didn't matter I took a break and couldn't go into details about it as I prefer to keep my life private. Surely that can be respected in this day of age given my stance in this network. I was still around I just didn't work as much and was actually intending of walking away for good which then, everyone would have been told what's going on. So I'd suggest you and your little girlfriend get some facts together and realise we've answered this topic and it's being addressed. Just have some patience and shut the fuck up.
  10. I'm sorry I don't comply with 2020 and today's standards of how to address a snowflake. I'll make sure the school I pick is full of anime inspired stories about how to be an entitled little prick. To think, I'm the one who's been pushing for change and playing the game the last 2 weeks to find out where we're going wrong. Jordan wanted to leave as is, he thinks the server's current state is in good condition lmao. I don't know what's going on though, right?!
  11. There is no schedule for caps no, my statement was based on how we presented 55 and 60 cap. @Yukani held it against us about doing 3 level caps in 3 months when we clearly advised to everyone due to the lack of content 55 had we would launch with 60 and use 55 as a basis for Beta. You forget we had a Beta that only lasted 2 weeks so technically your first cap was 3+ months later not 3 caps in 3 months. It's a weak and pathetic statement to use as a basis to where we are apparently going wrong. Also I never called anyone pathetic, the statement was pathetic not the person. We had a lot of requests on a day to day basis to release 65 cap and from a whole range of players, we've had conversations on the forums of people demanding it to be released. We acted based on a lot of factors that we believed were right for the server, infact we grew again once the patch was released so explain exactly where we went wrong here? 65 has a lot of content we can shift in it's own pace and we have said numerous times now that we are working on a solution for the concern of Safety Stones and other areas. We've proven in the past we intend to act on suggestions and feedback but the problem is when it's denied or not an instant agreed upon feedback or suggestion we get this shit right here. I am also not complaining about people giving feedback or suggestions. I am however allowed to voice my opinion on said feedback and suggestions in the exact manner the playerbase is displaying to us. We are allowed to deny, counter or simply ignore suggestions or feedback. As for my disappearance since you gladly threw that one in there. Being told you're going to die isn't a joke and you'd walk away with a click of a finger as well so go fuck yourself. We're also taking responsibility for our actions, you're just not impressed that we are not jumping to the same beat as you're expecting and that's the real problem here. It's not as if we're not sat discussing or planning to fix areas that need addressing. You're just assuming the worst because a solution hasn't come within an hour. It just really seems like you have a chip on your shoulder from past events you clearly have no idea about. I was going to reply but you need to get your facts straight and stop holding so many grudges.
  12. It's been explained numerous times about the caps and yet you still use that against us? Pathetic. Beta was meant to be 60 cap from the start but we agreed to do 55 and launch at 60 due to us being in a more stable position if we intended on rolling back any changes made during Beta (Explained in numerous introduction posts but you choose to ignore it and use it against us, weak). We're not burning through content, YOU and many other players demanded us to update to 65 cap or you'd quit already because of boredom. 55 cap does not hold enough content for longevity and neither does 60 cap. However, 65 has different phases and we can phase this in longer, as does the other caps, you're missing that part here as well for someone who claims to know the game very well. Don't even go there about "casual" players either, there are several top players in this server who play casual and are top above the paying player. The difference we're missing here is the EFFORT required that you can't grasp because you'd rather click 3 buttons and be done. The biggest issue here with Classic is everyone expected similar rates to Awaken when it was made clear to everyone that we were not aiming for a quick experience. That was made clear with the rates we chose as well, we don't mind holding back content but when there is a huge demand and you know the "we're not listening" phrases threw about we have to act.
  13. You've spoken previously about you working in this kind of job. You know what it's like to make decisions and act in this kind of situation or were you just a clerk answering tickets like a robot? The only problem I am seeing here is you're not happy we didn't agree with you and are kicking a fuss over it. You speak about there is a Safety Stone issue let's see, out of 9913 different players currently playing our game the following amount of Safety Stones exist: Viridian Lucky Safety Stone : 3054 Safety Stone : 2887 Lucky Safety Stone : 1651 Viridian Safety Stone : 1421 Where is the problem? May I also add, this is on the basis that Safety Stones have not been as common this week due to Jordan admitting he messed up a little. So what is the problem here? You're asking us to make changes when YOU the players have control of this item not us it seems. Numbers do not lie and we can see there isn't a problem with how many a player can obtain but more what YOU the playerbase are doing to these items yourselves so please.... Don't go starting to say we're not doing anything, we see the numbers ourselves and we know the problem, we're just trying to find a medium that doesn't go screwing everyone. Those are also weak attempts at trying to insult us btw when all we've done is disagree with you and your ideas (which we are entitled to may I add).
  14. Thank you for the suggestions and comments. I think it's important to remember that we are allowed to counter people's comments or disagree with them. I did spend a while replying to each area then just deleted it as I can only imagine people will pick out the bad parts and focus on those as the basis of their arguments so I'll just be clear with what I am saying and I hope it doesn't offend anyone. ------------------------------ You've basically just asked us to take a marketing model from a completely different genre of game that has 1,000,000's of players playing over a game that even at it's prime never touched above 10,000 players on official. Your suggestion on vanity items being one time purchases is a good one, but it wouldn't work here unfortunately. The reason being is we only have x amount of players compared to y amount of players playing a MOBA game. Even 1% of y would be a huge amount of cash against x who might not even be enough to keep the lights on. The main issue I keep seeing is the refusal to play an MMORPG properly. Time is of the essence I am a busy man myself so I respect people being busy however, the people claiming time to be the problem have hours of daily login time recorded and when checking their logs to see what they're doing, they're sat rambling on for hours in peer chat or personal conversations doing nothing. This is your concern as a player, if you refuse to play then so be it but we cannot just adjust a whole game full of people playing to appease the lack of efforts from a specific group of players. Now I aint saying we are not discussing ideas to improve Safety Stones (if they're even a problem) but we do not act on impulse and just do, we have to analyze and assess the impacts of any changes thoroughly which takes time. You have to also remember that YOU as players are hoarding Safety Stones and refusing to market them in-game, I even found conversations of a specific group of players doing this on purpose to force our hand. As for your rankings suggestions, this isn't a participation medal kind of environment and never should be. This now seems like just another thread where a bunch of you have sat in Discord rambling on and someone has bit the bullet to assess the "state" of the server in yet another thread as if it's failing when it's doing fine. After Safety Stones are fixed I am sure another new discussion where players refuse to play the game because it "takes too long" so then it then results in yet another assessment of the "state of the server" as if it's failing. Now I am sure the next replies will be related to us not caring, you not donating or just clearly quitting. That is of your choice as is your response and actions but we have made it clear we are working on a solution you're just not going to be happy after that as well because clearly everyone just wants to login, be done in an hour and then come to the forums demanding something to do and discuss the "state of the server" yet again on that basis as well. In the end we cannot win and that's fine but we're doing what we believe is right and is exactly why we boast of a 11 year existence as a network.
  15. We're not saying that we won't change anything in the game, our actions are not motivated by greed. We just have a server that's 5 years old already and have seen what happens when the game is made far too easy. We've already acted on community feedback but that falls on deaf ears as per, now here we are being accused and insulted as per, until people get what they want. We will come to a decision and act on it as soon as we can, thank you for your feedback, we look forward to the next round...
  16. You cannot expect us to ever take note of other's actions. Every server is of it's own direction and just because x, y and z done a, b or c does not mean we should ever follow suit. If we should follow suit should we go to the rate of prices Aeria and FR offered? In the end you get more for your money and that's something you (and many others) seem to forget when you have tunnel vision.
  17. We won't be adding the Mystery Box System to Classic. We might in the future add boxes to the Item Mall, this is ultimately up to Jordan though.
  18. Please go to the game folder and try use the "run_game.bat" file to see if it runs for you.
  19. We would never say never, but it's best to say "not right now".
  20. What are you talking about? Lol.
  21. I feel like you've just had a bad experience with your funds and are taking it out on us. I think it's unfair to try and compare our Awaken rates to Classic when we're trying to achieve a different goal here. If you want Awaken rates then go play the Awaken server, go and spend the same amount of money on Aeria right now and then come spend the same here let me know your outcome.
  22. Have you tried re-running the Launcher? Also check your anti-virus incase it is blocking the executable.
  23. Hi all, We've recently received information that a video has leaked proving duping is possible in Eden Eternal. This is not something that can be done so easily and we can assure everyone that we have taken the necessary precautions on avoiding such issues in the future, as well as monitoring player activity. May I also remind everyone, this video is very very old. No duping has been done on Awaken for a long time I can assure you that and we also reversed as much damage as we could. Due to new monitoring methods we've installed into our systems we can assure everyone if this was to happen again we would find and delete the players/items involved without any hesitation. Can I ask everyone to please stop wasting our time with assumed reports of duping. We are on top of this and are monitoring closely. The methods of which this duping is caused is a few and far between occasion that if anything was to happen we can simply analyze our logs and data we collect to pin point who is behind what and remove it before any damage is caused. Thank you again for those who play the game fair.
  24. Thank you very much for your insight and efforts explaining this to us. I cannot promise anything but I can see about doing something, we just need to be sure it fits right. I need to assess a few things including my own well being before I decide to take on another project. I've only recently returned and taking on a big project like this might be bad for the network at it's current stage. The continued interest does re-ignite and I can't lie we had this game on the test server with a website and full back end all done. It was pretty much thumbs up and we had to cancel so it's not as if we've not been almost there before.
