Well, after playing LC just over a year, becoming a Forum Mod and finally reaching Level 70 on my Sorcerer Specialist, today I had the unpleasnat task of reporting a vulgar-named account, and had a deaf ear turned toward me by 2 of the staff at Aeria Games & Entertainment. The account is named FCKDMIND - did you kids get that?? You are able to understand what that means, right?? Well, Aeria Games & Entertainment knows what it means, too, and if you said that in the game or in a forum post, you'd either have a temp ban on your hands, or your forum post would at least be edited. In other words, it would be "cleaned up" before too many people saw it. But this guy is able to keep his account because he buys AP! That is exactly what I was told by 2 GMs! So, if it all depends on your pocketbook as to how you are treated at AG&E, then I guess I better hang up my hat, because I will never matter to them, and never have, actually. AG&E is in serious trouble when it comes to how they are percieved anymore. They have a skeletal GS crew, and the ones who actually help in the game are over-worked (volunteers??) to the point that some of them are even detached from real life activities, and devote all of their time to The Game. For this. AG&E will give them a pittance in AP (game money) to keep them going, a carrot dangling in front of them constantly. When the real issue is, they should hire more people to make the game(s) better, and to stop exploiting those GSs who do take time to help. All I can say is it is a kettle of greed, and if you spend enough, you can get away with almost anything. So - until things change - I'm out of here....see ya!!
Have Fun!!
