Since the game's now free to play, I expect some Fated members might want to go say hi to old friends. <Fated> is now located on Antigua. Give a holler in our forums if you want a toon to be added to guild: www.phpbb88.com/fated

Surprised you'd go back... even with it being free to play.

If a game company, regardless of how many friends I had playing or how much I liked the concept of the game, treated me the way they treated you, my only response to them (The game company, not your friends) would be "Piss Off"

That pretty much sums up my reaction (not to mention my husband's, he's still livid), but some of our members wanted to go and have a look. We lost contact with a lot of people who played POTBS with us, and this will help keep our forum info out there, so if they stop by here, they can check where exactly everyone is.

Such bullshit.  The insurance system that allowed exploitation was the real problem IMO...  Trying to handle cases individually like they did is just asking for trouble.

Sorry to hear that ;< , even though it does sound as u were walking really close to the edge of some rules, it sounds that you have always been pretty honest about it, so not even getting a reason why you got banned is just stupid tbh .

As to breaking the rules: well, the problem is, the rules when I bought the game said it was OK to play that way. Even trading first rate durability  to pirates - something I never did - was OK, according to a dev post in Beta, since the same amount of work would go into building it. This system only became problematic when they introduced insurance, and the pirate with the national account would get both the ship AND their money back.

 

I do want to make a small remark on this part of ur reply. When entering an mmo you do agree in the contract that they may change the rules during the existance of the game, and even though I do understand where you are coming from, this is something that you can not really hold against the developers since an mmo is always bound to change some of their rules in the future.

You know, I hear what you're saying.   But there is a differnce between small changes and huge modifications...   One is expected, the other fairly dishonest because it tends to be punitive or confiscatory.   Like this one.

Also, it's not a 'good-faith' contract, it's an explotive and abusive licenseing agreement and if you read it carefully, they owe you nothing and can screw you over without recourse.     

Wow, I just came back to the POTBS forum thinking about this thread and here it is at the top of the forums.

One thing you can say about POTBS is that it had a big impact on people.

Linna still angry after all this time over a ban. 

TBH I still get wound up when I think back to my conversations with Aether and Rusty about how Nightflips would kill Roberts. They wouldn't or couldn't understand why one nation being able to field a full port battle at 5am while all 3 other nations only had like 5 people was a problem. 

In the end 90% of the Spanish, French and Pirates left the server. On the night we started the move FLS announced it was just a few trouble causes and to ignore us. By next morning they released a DevBlog announcing an end to Nightflips.

God even after all this time I am getting wound up. This could have been the greatest game ever. FLS blew it big time.
