The majority of AQ unsubbbed from Mortal online today, and here is the truth behind the story. There was a siege today, and the enemy of AQ won the siege against AQ keep. No one in AQ argues about the outcome of the siege... the enemy had AQ greatly outnumbered and won the siege fairly. During the siege 3 members of AQ got banned mid fight. Here is the proof that the gm's gave justifying the bans: http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/6923/80116218.jpg It's not obvious from the picture what the proof is, but according to the gm's it is the 'false' flagged item. The GM's are implying that the false flag means the item is on the ghost and that the ghost is exploiting. Here is a little chat with discord that better explains it:
00[11:55] <[AQ]Gankez> we're unsubbing
00[11:55] <[AQ]Gankez> my guys werent cheating ... take care
[11:55] <[GM]Discord> if AQ unsubs cause they want to supporting exploiting I can't do anything about that
00[11:55] <[AQ]Gankez> we werent exploiting
[11:55] <[GM]Discord> you saw the proof yourself
00[11:55] <[AQ]Gankez> i saw something that said false
[11:55] <[GM]Discord> that means its not in the bank
00[11:55] <[AQ]Gankez> the bank?
[11:55] <[GM]Discord> it has nowhere else to be but on the char
[11:56] <[GM]Discord> yes thats a master list of all the items
[11:56] <[GM]Discord> true is bank false is char
00[11:56] <[AQ]Gankez> and what baout if something is on a corpse?
00[11:56] <[AQ]Gankez> if theres a loot bag lying on the ground with something in it
00[11:56] <[AQ]Gankez> would that say true as well?
[11:57] <[GM]Discord> false
00[11:57] <[AQ]Gankez> ah so you mean if he had it on him and died
00[11:57] <[AQ]Gankez> then was in ghost mode it'd say false?
[11:57] <[GM]Discord> yes
00[11:57] <[AQ]Gankez> i hope you are putting two and two together
[11:57] <[GM]Discord> once the loot bag is gone, so is the items
00[11:58] <[AQ]Gankez> so if he had it on him and died
00[11:58] <[AQ]Gankez> he'd be a ghost
[11:58] <[GM]Discord> they saw him do this twice thats why they waited for the res
00[11:58] <[AQ]Gankez> and it'd say false
00[11:58] <[AQ]Gankez> if the food was in the loot bag
00[11:58] <[AQ]Gankez> unless im misunderstanding something it looks like your guy made a big fuck up saying he was carrying it on a ghost
00[11:58] <[AQ]Gankez> when he just died at the keep
So now we see the 'proof' that the gm's provide for banning people mid siege. Warchild (the ghost in the jpeg) had just died. Some of his items got picked up, and some were sitting on his corpse. The 'urial with cream' was flagged as false, and the GM automatically assumed it was a ghost inventory exploit rather than the obvious solution that the item was on the corpse. But let's take a step back and try to use a little common sense here: Why in hell would someone use a ghost inventory exploit to ONLY get some 'urial with cream'? It makes no sense at the most basic level. Not to mention AQ had horses at the keep filled with food, arrows, bandages etc. This whole situation does not pass the most basic common sense litmus test. Also, I am personally unaware of the existence of any such ghost inventory exploit even being in game. Good fight to the people at the siege. I hope all the Mortal GM's involved get fired, especially Ovidius and Discord. So far the unsub count is at 59 accounts and climbing.

I really want to be flippant and assholey, but, its a shit game, why are you so surprised that is has shit customer service. I honestly can't believe people actually played this game considering at release it was borderline unplayable, and from what i understand not much has changed. Are you *that* desperate for an open world full loot pvp type of game?

We are that desperate for a decent open world pvp game though.... sad and ashamed face. :(

I have always thought the gm's get involved way too much for a "sandbox" game. I have never liked Discord since the days he was Bizzy's pocket gm. One question. Did the banning of the people affect the siege defence? |

I dont play or have played this game, and i cannot judge what happened, but i can say this much: banning players "on the fly", not even investigating what was wrong, based on a logic key for true or false, is both stupid and unprofessional. If the design on a given game is so bad to allow these type of exploits, you should at least try to talk with players and try to sort out what happened. |

That's too bad. I hope you guys find what you are looking for. I wish The Repopulation or Dominus were coming out soon. |

Originally posted by sandboxluv The banning certainly did impact the defense... 2 of the 3 people banned were our 'spirit mages' who can perform resurrection. We lost our ability to resurrect people with players due to the ban. There is a priest inside the keep, but it has a timer and cannot be used to res people as fast as we needed. Since we lost our ability to fast res inside the keep, we had to take the fight outside the keep where we were at a great disadvantage. I don't think the outcome of the siege would have changed, but the duration of the siege certainly would have. Most of us agreed to log off and unsub after we discussed the bans and saw the GM proof. After that the fight was over.

I certainly wouldn't settle for this, though. Even the GM's english makes me facepalm. Oh well, good luck in whatever's next on your list. I wanted to type something really smart as a reply to this subject, but the Scarlet Blade ad got me distracted and I forgot what I wanted to type. |

Originally posted by psykobilly Take it from me. If you were able to extend the seige you may have won the batte. Being in the alliance VOIPS alot it is a clusterfuck. But losing your rezzing gms in the middle of a fight is bullshit. They should of investigated further. Them banning in the middle of the seige is argument enough for you losing the keep in my book. |

This is what people are quiting over?? Exploiting can really mess up a game. So I am glad to see that they are actually trying to do something about it. Even if its a mistake I cant see why people would mass quit over the GM's trying to ban exploiters. It just dont add up to me.

Originally posted by Jimmac We are in the Tera beta now on the EU side... I personally think of it as aim-based wow and am not too impressed, but what can you do? There is not much skill-based MMO's out there. Darkfall 2.0 is at the top of the list, but that's probably Q3 (at least) for beta. |

mass unsub? AQ had around 30-40 members only :-DD so what unsub.. omg they get raped after x month when they raping us. so we beat them to death.. and instead of accepting it, they want unsub. Custom Service on this game is best I ever saw. If u got any problem.. u send ticket and GM are at you max to 2 minutes. 24/7 every time, every day. Rodier, icq 10905813 |

Originally posted by rodier 30-40 members, probably most of them had 2 accounts if not more.
Not to mention 30-40 members is probably half the entire population of MO. This is a huge blow to MO right before awakening where they need every sub they can get.. |

If you see no good or you see no bad in a game, chances are you are bias. |

Originally posted by TROLL_HARD Your name pretty much states why. Its basically a troll system of sorts, you gank someone, taking advantage of them being down or preoccupied and then reap the reward. 0 skill at all. |

Originally posted by psykobilly Really? why are you guys not in DarkFall then ? It may not be perfect but at least it runs, and it does not look like EQ1 knockoff. Seriously the screenshot looks just plain terrible, worse than ShadowBane and that game was FUgly, but it ran well at least. SV guys smell like sheisters who forgot how to do the scam part of this game. They need to go read about Dark and Light. Lolipops ! |
