I never thought I'd be writing a post like this, but I must warn anyone thinking of joining the European servers to either head over to the US ones (NFNA) or skip the game entirely.

While many of the moderators do a reasonable or good job, the actual games masters them selves are out of control, and as they effectively run the company there's no one to keep them in check.  These people have made the game very personal, have targetted certain fleets and are inconsistent with their bans.  One such ban was only removed when the GM in question was threatened with legal action for what he had done.

Long term players are now leaving to either stop playing the game or to start/restart on NFNA at an ever increasing rate, but alas, unless the more apathetic players (whom have contributed little to the game except euros) start to move nothing will change, as we feel only a drop in revenues may cause the situation to change.

I feel most sorry for the mods [mod edit] as they are the ones who tend to be unfairly targetted as a result of the issues, despite the fact they have no real control in those areas.  There are, however, also mods who really should not be allows to carry on, but are being protected by the GMs.

And for the GMs of FNEU, this forum is totally independant to your game.  You can NOT take anything I have written here as an excuse to do anything to my account.

It would probably help you more effectively spread your message if you linked to forums posts or other places where thereis more information on this issue.

No one dares say anything like this on the official NFEU forums are the threads are locked and deleted very quickly and people are receiving forum bans for them.  People are also not willing to post on their own fleet forums in public areas as the GMs are also using these for excuses to ban (which in many countries is illegal - as one GM has already found out).

Reminds me of Voyage Century. Except in there people were getting hurt in real life. Hope you manage to save plenty of people from This game. It sounds pretty bad.
