Trial accounts aren't a bad thing, especially when you're a different game. They're a tool we'll eventually roll out.

I'll reduce it to bullet points, since paragraphs apparently trips you up:

1) For measuring player satisfaction, the forums are semi-irrelevant. For discussing in depth points, and for acting as the canary in the coal mine, they're often quite useful. Plus, the earth revolves around the sun.

2) People playing does not equal people loving the game. Sales continuing equals player satisfaction, as I certainly can't point to marketing being the cause.

3) A few posts ago I mentioned that concurrency was down further than we'd like, which is not a positive sign. Darn, there goes my consistency.

We have a lot of indicators that we track. Some are good, some are negative. It's very rarely black and white.

Nor appropriate for this forum.

Since this thread probably won't get any better, we'll just close it out and let you all snicker to yourselves privately.

That's why I didn't respond to the invite email.

Hello all,

When you see this happen, please file a support ticket so it notifies the GM on duty who can take care of it.

Thanks!

1 in thread Lots of hassle with station only to find my character gone.. [Known Issues / Troubleshooting]
I'd recommend filing a support ticket. You can do so by clicking on "Support" in the upper right corner of this page. Someone in Support can review it and assist.

Good luck!

1 in thread Just like a mule with a spinning wheel [Bigpond GameArena accounts]
Are you trying to log in with your SOE account, your bigpond account or your game arena account? You should be using your Game Arena information.

Also, we're still going through applications for the Ambassador program. I believe another batch are going out shortly.

1 in thread Were can i buy an activation key?? [Sony Station accounts]
Check your downloads again or check your email. A lot of folks had their email go to their Trash or Spam folder in email. Plus, there should be a button somewhere in the D2D account area that when you're logged in, should be something like "Resend activation email" or such.

Seriously though, if you would like to discuss the issue, please check out PotBS Producer Joe Ludwig's response to the concerns in this thread, which you can find by clicking on this link:
What are we doing about the Turn-in exploit?

Thanks for your understanding.

Cheers,

Beauty has the right of it here. Whilst it is okay to be upset and angry, it is beneficial for us all if it's in a constructive manner. Also, the angry poster shouldn't be subjected to flaming just for being angry.

I'd recommend some light reading for everyone. It's called the PotBS Community Rules.

Thanks all!
