now the fact is that the forums are totally un-usable right now due to extreme demand from users and people trying to refresh the shop page incase it opens again.  The devs said they would notify us of any shop opening.  The big problem is that due to the forums being messed up due to lag we wont get that warning so players continue to refresh the shop page all evening.

I received a 10 minute block for apparently spamming and refreshing when actually i wasnt refreshing more than a couple of times evey few mins.  I had onlyh one window open aswell.

so im now paranoid about even connecting to their forums or shop through fear of an IP ban

Banning doesn’t change the fact that they have server side stability issues with their forums and their game. Sure people may be exploiting this, but this is an issue that should be non existent like in most triple a MMOs. I guess if you’re enough of a fan you can handle it, but everyone on the outside is seriously laughing at how poor of service they offer at the same time charging a premium price. One more strike against the Indie devs. My recommendation is to not put to much hard work into this game because I honestly don’t see this hitting a one year mark.

8pm (GMT) soon, which means it'll be 10pm in Greece. They must be thinking of opening the gates soon.

Did your corpse get looted when that happened?

how do you know that if the news hasnt been posted yet?

No, I ment the pre-orders news posting was at 7:50 (my settigns), not talking about the store opening tonight.

Once again shows they cannot handle running a MMO period. IF they do have sales tonight its gonna be a complete clusterfudge again. The fact that based on history people still are trying shows either the human race really does enjoy beating their collective heads against a brick wall hoping for a different result other than a headache

i found a way to refresh the site all i want, bypassing their little ban bot :P

Pfff I cant get into the forums anymore.

And not that I'm banned, just get "server is too busy" when trying to view a forum. Did they post any news beside the "macro policy" today? Cause I see 1116 users watching the news forum.

im on forum now, have had a hard time getting on too, but if i keep refreshing i get on occasionally, and the last post is still the macro post.

Tip: If the forum passes 4k users online, it gets dropped and that cBulletin message comes up.

what i find more comical...is that just because you are banned.....you are still using the same amount of resources from the server than if you werent banned. As long as info is sent to and from your computer, you are using server load....

so these bannings to cut down load....is pure comedy!

lol i crashed when trying to get one.. its already closed again

I find it funny that they have time to ban peeps from their forum, but you can hack their game all ya want, and its fine.  Adventurine needs to fix their current product before allowing anyone else to purchase this "game".

lol @ a company banning users because they show interest in playing their game.

Aventurine is pure, distilled, raw, natural fail.

they need to get their Sh*t together and open up for this game, this open / close sh*t is just messing with ppls minds.. :(
