I personally always liquidate what assets I have and flee to china every time I'm winning a court case because I am honest and in the right...


 

Man, and do  you fly to Mars whenever you lose a court case?! Cause that would be a little bit difficult to catch you there... 

BTW I've been informed that NPCube has been convicted in yet another case and that the Clerk's Office has just informed the winning party that their Office was not in a position to notify NPCube since its manager Cesar Jacquet was nowhere to be found on Reunion Island/France.

To this Dwerk- guy:

Yes, i hope that Farlan loses. I am saying that from a player's perspective, and from a consumer's perspective.

- In good faith i bought a product from Farlan/NPC, which they never delivered.

- In order to not get billed, i needed to *not* activate my account according to Farlan. However, they contradicted themselves by billing me 6 months later, and telling me that i had to activate the account to *not* get billed.

 

These are the reasons why people want Farlan to lose. We are consumers, and we got scammed. By proxy, Pix is getting our money back.

 

My thoughts exactly. Good post

I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

Player accomplishment is relative to the chance of meaningful consequences in the event you loose.

DnL i s a close second to Mourning as the worst game ever.

Lets put it this way, if DnL was 3-Mile Island, then Mourning was Chyrnobl. 

You obviously never played Mourning after it released to the pubic.  DnL was a game, if even for a short time.  They released Mourning before there were any skills for the players to use.  The fact that there i still something to "play" makes it a thousand times more successful than Mourning. 

To put it another way.... if DnL was Britany Spears, then Mourning was Michael Vick.....

Ah! I was almost right in saying that "I guess we'll see a number of posters putting forward "it's all Pix's fault " if they fired every single soul at NPCube.": We have now kinda official answer on the subject:

http://www.darkandlight.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72092

"Alas the development team was strongly reduced while waiting for the end of the lawsuit. We hope to be able to reopen the completely functional servers soon. Please excuse us for the inconvenience."

So, if they fired the whole team (which is translated by "strongly reduced the team" in the NFAAW - NPCube/Farlan and al world) this is because they were waiting for the end of THE lawsuit. I wonder if this is for the same reason that they seemed to switch off their server and that the Chinese press reported that SnailGame "Beijing office" went bankrupt. Are they  all waiting for the end of THE lawsuit? Gosh, patience is a great virtue, but it remains quite a pathetic excuse when you know they did their best at delaying and delaying and delaying the case(s).

Hehe, I was wondering where you had been Zorvan...seems like those DF fans nailed you again. 

I expected you to have an alt somewhere (you must be prepared after all of your other bans).  Nice to know you're still roaming these forums.

I should have recognized your sense of humor sooner...

Just want to point out to Dwerk that it is actually very important for the MMORPG community that Farlan loses the court battle.  (And learn to punctuate Dwerk.   The paragraph is a wonderful invention). 

Legal punishment has a major purpose - to deter others.     When the next shady developer thinks they can get away creating some shoddy piece of junk, hype and lie about how great it is all while using someone else's technology then the Farlan case will be an important lesson.    

It's not just a lesson to future developesr, however, it's also a lesson to all those gullible fanbois who sw
