I can't ever imagine KIA stopping, and then asking them to try another ticker ?
Get it fixed CCP, really ....

Well, technically it is KIA's fault for not paying the bill so your attitude towards CCP who are trying to help, even tho they did not create the issue, imo, is not needed. ____ <t20> i want to be in a manager potition at Hooters <SaraDawn> Garthagk, do you have it up ? <Garthagk> I can get it up anytime. |

Wrangler, thanks for your replys, and please do help with that. We just want our alliance back, and as i'm sure you can imagine its quite a emotive issue.
Have you guys tried recreating it with a different ticker? I'm told that could be what's causing the problem.
I would think keeping the ticker would be as importaint as the name... ___________

Wrangler... are you serious????????!?!??
We forget to pay a bill (I might add that the day we were supposed to pay the bill by was the day the database crashed), and now we cannot have the same ticker... the same name/identity. Who on gods earth made this part of your game? They need sacking, instantly.
This is the planned way the mechanic should work.
This is just bldy ridiculous?
Absolutely totally and utterly ridiculous.
Whycant we just pay the billion and re activate the Alliance as it stood...
Or why isn the Alliance erased so we can just remake it as it stood???
I am just staring at this situation with what can only be described as "wtf" eyes.

I forgot, its my fault, blah blah blah (the DB issue is just something we are pushing because we cannot resolve the problem ourselves, and in all fairness it is correct, we couldnt of paid the bill just b4 expiry time as the servers were down)
Heres my 1 billion isk Heres my swallowing on "I am stupid" pie.
The whole chancelling of alliance if you forget to pay a bil is stupid enough, but the fact you then cant re activate the alliance by paying the setup fees, or re create it, is just plain stupid.
I am WAY PAST caring who's fault it is, I just want my alliance back.

When someone decides to pay or not to pay a bill is their business. If they plan to pay it at a certain time and server issue makes it impossible to do so then they can't be blamed can they?
Game mechanics gave them a due date&time on the bill, server said differently,unexpected I may add, it was not a planned extended downtime.

I can totally understand forgetting. Things fall through the *****s all the time. But really, my best suggestion is to just take a deep breath, step away from the computer for a moment, and breath a bit more. Just stay calm and have some sort of faith that it will be fixed soon. I promise, you will be much happier.

I don't know. If I wait until the last minute to pay my bill and then the mailman doesn't come that day, thus making it impossible to mail it in time, do I call Verizon and tell them that the mailman didn't come so I shouldn't get in trouble?

Lol!
That's the most valid arguement I have ever heard on this forum.
Going by this premise it's not acceptable to me that I lost Skill points when I got podded and failed to update my clone.
What do you think CCP will say to that?
Exactly, deal with it. Whingers!

A wired payment takes milliseconds, the system gives you a month, whether we pay in the first 30 seconds or the last 30 seconds makes no difference to the system, you do not get a discount for early payment.
We quite frankly do not want any special treatment here, the mechanism for recovering from a none payment of an alliance bill is none existant. If you miss an office payment, your stuff gets impounded, meaning you can get it back; this is not the case with an Alliance.

Actually, I still don't get my eve-mails for complete skills either.
It would not surprise me that the bill mail -might- have gotten lost the same manner.

They actually changed it so nobody gets skill mails any more. You have to check your skill history.

as to the alliance recreation thing .. Gutted that you "forgot" to pay the bill and the alliance got disbanded. However; I totally agree that you should have a mechanism to recreate or reopen an existing corp/alliance.
My alts corp got disbanded and a manufacturing job was still in the factory and couldnt get completed. Long story short, there is still BPO's left in the corps assets and are no longer accesable because there is no mechanism to revive the corporation.

since the only actual help being garnered is by the interaction between wrangler and KIA command structure, might I suggest you move it out of public domain until it is resolved now and just post the end result?
It is clearly an emotive issue for you guys and people will just troll this thread to get a response sadly.

QFT.
This mechanism sucks.
You pay a billion ISK for the alliance, but if you fail to pay a monthly bill of millions, you lose the alliance name and ticker permanently.
Give me a frigging break.
Sometimes you guys design eve to be just a tad too jobsworth and it ****s the fun, frankly.

so if i fail to pay for a bill on time and loose my alliance does this mean i get to recreate it with the existing name/ticker
does this also apply to closed corps ?
I think there should be a mechanism to resolve this but it should never require dev intervention. Not one person has done it it should set a precedent and everyone else who ever has this problem should also get dev intervention.
Id hate forsomeone to loose their alliance names but everyone should be treated equally

Originally by: CCP Wrangler Only the alliance executor corp CEO gets the eve-mail for the alliance bill.
Is this a new "feature" for newly created alliances? The reason I ask is because I receive an alliance bill mail in every corp's ceo mailbox.
[OTHEP] has 7 corps in the alliance and all corps get the alliance mail every month, as well as any ceo character can pay the bill too. This is no way a complaint from my side since it gives me 7x less risk of missing a bill mail.
But wondering if it works like that since my alliance is old compared to a newly created alliance?

I've noticed a general trend to lessen the traffic of eve-mails one receives in general, it's probably part of that. Perhaps they're an unseen cause of lag? Who knows.

Agreed, a mechanism to revive dead corporations is a good idea as long as it's implemented well. ------------ Whiners - Unite! Tarminic - 26 Million SP in Forum Warfare. |

In all fairness... it would be good that this could be solved. KIA admitted on postponing payment too long, but were very professional & correct in their communication of it towards you (CCP)
Sounds like a good point they have too about the server being unplayable after DT and ffs, according to Chribba's reply it seems not even you CCP knows for sure who ought to receive what in terms of notification.
/me votes for CCP fixing this and other basic stuff. -----------------------------------------------

Good luck with that Eddy... I couldnt recreate O.E.C. from the old days as I had closed down the corp. I retained all shares (at the time) but could not reopen it as it was a database entry and could not be changed (?). I was explained it was not possible for us to assume the name of a previously created corp and I would imagine it works the same with alliances.
But...I know its possible since they did this for 4S corp back in the day.
