I started this character like half a year ago. I was in a noob corporation as everyone else start. For the first time in my history of mmo's i saw a gm actually reply to my question ingame - i was amazed. I asked around other ppl and generally much older characters aout how they feel for the game. The most common answer was : the support is great , u get answered to petitions in a matter of minutes , the game never crashes and is very unlikelly for ur client to crash aswell. So i stayed....
After half a year of playing and firing about a dozen of petitions for beeing stuck , for not receiving money back from market , for beeing killed in lag and for various other reasons my conclusion is : the support is not uber good , neither it cares about u. I don't know how the things used to be , bus as they are right now it's exactly the same as it was in wow (which was my previous mmo) :
1. auto replies(if any)
2. insane waiting for a reply
3. mod's rarely read forums and if they do it is just to keep the rulles as of no flaming and sticking to topics.
4. noone cares for u , as u r just a drop in between all the custommers as it saves alot of money just to ignore u rather than having to hire 100 more gm's to keep everyone happy as the constant flow of players makes sure everyone of us is expendable
5. silly changes to the patches without any obvious reason
6. changes that are not listed to "balance the game" etc lighten the trafic and server load
7. The game is becoming what wow is atm : a commercial product for the average moron to spend 4-5 months and move on , as that is what brings in money and that is what their goal is after all. Noone will make the game to amuse u , thay will make it as simple as possible and as profitable as possible , which is completelly normal.
8. The new content is exactly as the old one painted in different "colours" just so they say they update the game.
9. Developers have never played the game and never will as they are hired just to encode something new that came in to the mind of someone who just woke up with the idea rather spending time to read the huge and see what ppl want , as simply the old developers that created the game now are working somewhere else and the new ones are simply clueless(about the game).
That is what i've seen in every mmo i have played so far and it reached a certain amount of players. That's just the way it is.
As i side note this is the only mmo that has some point in it worth playing for and that is controlling and having ur own land , something no other mmo i played has. It has a great lvl of difficulty in pvp which for example in wow consists of pushing 3 buttons over and over. I just hope they don't make it "user-friendly" as much as wow is cuz than instead when u kill someone and u get rid of him for a good amount of time and cause him loses equal to atleast several hours of gameplay , he just returns in 2 mins and kills u simply because it doesn't cost him anything but to walk back to his corpse.
