I am a Champion in the Immortals guild on Server 22, the top ranked guild for the vast majority of the server’s existence. I have been with this guild from the very start, for over a year, and have seen many people come and go (from both the guild and the entire game) and have enjoyed playing this game EVERY SINGLE DAY!
And yet, here I am, at 1AM, laying in bed unable to sleep because I am thinking about what has happened to one of my favorite games I’ve ever played, because this has essentially RUINED our server. Stating that you are trying to protect the “gap” between F2P and P2P in a complete fallacy. All you’ve done is undermine the time, effort and money (real, hard earned MONEY) that everyone on this server has contributed to this game over the past year+ and created more gaps than you will ever know. You’ve broken all the various PvP aspects of this game by doing so.
To say there is no easy solution to this screw up is an understatement of the highest level. I know all the players are upset. I know that most of the people working at PerBlue are probably upset. But there needs to be some sort of greater understanding between the two sides. Perhaps listening to the people supporting your business would be a good start, instead of throwing your hands up in the air, saying a simple (seemingly unapologetic) “We’re sorry” and telling us what you’ve decided to do for/to us.
The “solution” and “compensation” provided by PerBlue has been deemed unacceptable by the large majority of your PAYING players (aka customers), PerBlue. You need to rethink your approach and try again.
That being said, I’m surprised no one has done this yet, but why don’t we show PB what we feel should be done, so it is visible and easy to see.
Here are the common “solutions” I have seen brought up in this thread thus far (minus the “refund” option which I know PerBlue will just simply not do).
- Roll Back Servers to 8:59:59 CT 9/9
- Provide Same “Broken Deals” To All Players on the Servers
- Provide Increased Compensation For Removed Stamina
- Keep Same Compensation For Removed Stamina
