Screw Simu, thieves

[Overlord]

Man these bastards just don't give a rats fucking ass about anyone...

So i earned another premium scroll this year and because i paused by billing for 3 months they have now revoked everything i ever earned premium wise...


Hadlir whispers, "Unfortunately, if you discontinue your Premium membership, you lose all premium benefits, including previously earned ones that you've not used."
These God damn cum guzzling gutter sluts can lick my sweaty fucking testicles...
he goes on to say

Hadlir whispers, "I'm sorry that that's not the answer you're looking for."

Hadlir whispers, "You'll have to earn another one, I'm afraid."

You quietly whisper to Hadlir, "Sometimes i wonder why i spend so much money on this damn game... seems i'm always getting screwed."

You quietly whisper to Hadlir, "Well thanks for the disturbing information."

Hadlir whispers, "It's necessary, though, to avoid abuse of the benefit systems."

You quietly whisper to Hadlir, "How exactly is this abuse? It is a legitimate claim."

Hadlir whispers, "I did not mean to imply that you're abusing the system."

You quietly whisper to Hadlir, "I already obtained well OVER one year... and they strip me of that which has been promised to me? Theiving bastards"

Hadlir whispers, "I meant that the restrictions are in place to avoid abuse by anyone."

Hadlir whispers, "It applies to ALL premium benefits."

You quietly whisper to Hadlir, "Indeed, but this is no case of such an incident. Wich i acknowlege you did not state as such. But still..... Damn theives..."

Damn Corporation of Colostomy Bags can get fucked...
(Its a small incident, but i mean come on, one fucking alter scroll wtf is the big deal)

yea it sucked i had many years of premium and i left a few months before the scrolls came out but i couldnt get my gifts that i had because i wasnt current and they wanted me to backpack the months to get my alter scroll or whatever.

[Overlord]

I mean serioulsy house benefits.. my extra type ahead line... scrolls WTF do they have to lose by giving me what i earned? I'm fucking fuming now BAH!! I would thoroughly enjoy pummeling those little colon comandos with Maimaras fuckstick right now christ..bah time for a smoke

[Rastaman]

You're right. There's no contesting it. HOW FUCKING HARD IS IT TO GIVE SOMEONE AN ITEM THAT ONLY EXISTS IN TEXT YOU STUPID FUCKING SIMUTRONICS BASTARDS GO TO HELL YOU FUCKING JACKASSES.

Also I hate simutronics.

PS: FUCK OFF SIMU

[Kurili]

I saw that coming when I dropped to Basic from Premium/Plat. I had one alter scroll left to pick up, in Prime, and not a single thing my char had would work to be altered. Thinking the scroll would poof the next day when the account was changed to basic for awhile, I saw a char who had a nice, but basic leather cloak. Made him give it to me, and went and got IT scripted for him. Made him happy, made me happy that I got the alter. All was well.

Yeah, all you have to do is backpay those three months worth of Premium and they will supposedly give you your benefits. However, you'd probably achieve more satisfaction by spending that hundred bucks on a blowjob

You can get something scripted?? I thought alters were only for descriptions...

[Dighn Darkbeam]

Makes sense to me. You stop paying, you pay.

[Weedmage Princess]

I disagree, Dighn. I can see them not counting from the period you drop ON..I.E, You open up your preemie/plat account in 2000..in 2003 you drop to basic, or you freeze your account. You should still be entitled to whatever 3 year membership gift they give you. But..now when you reactivate your preemie/plat account, you don't take the past 3 years with you, you start over fresh. So you reactivate it in March 2004...your preemie date is March 2004..so when March 2005 comes, you only get the 1 year gift. But to just take away everything you've already EARNED..that's unfair. I mean they're not giving you back anything, and you've already shelled out the cash..so, yeah. That's bad business.

[Moist Happenings]

Yeah..I lapsed premium for 3 months once and they took my house(which was still being stored) away. I had spent like 5 mil on the crap in it. They told me to backpay and I told them i'd rather give the money to Ciston through paypal for silvers to buy a new house. :P

[Kurili]

Yes, if you dont want to go through getting an actual alter with your premium scroll, they have several stock scripts for items. I wasnt sure if my alter scroll would poof after the account was dropped to Basic, so I just grabbed that guy's cloak and went with the script. He still has it. I'm happy. And he and my char became friends, so that is also a good thing.

Man, that does suck some hairy ass. I'm dropping my premie account.

[Moist Happenings]

Also, Overlord, it's thieves, not theives.

[Overlord]

Yeah I know, but quite frankly I don't care. Lets cut even mr "Yagaermeister", the verbal assault need not begin with such a miniscule mistake.

Still hate the bastards....its like "oh im sorry we don't give a shit if you been premmie for 3 years and an 8 year member with four accounts... you temporarily dump us for a legitimite reason..we dump you shithead"

Aha well what do i expect from them though, seriously... a swift kick in the balls is long overdue for Simu

I was kidding. :P

And my misspelling was Yaegermeister, not Yagaermeister! And it was just a copy and paste job. So I dunno if it even counts if I didn't type it myself! I don't claim to be perfect though.

Also Sintik smells like feet.

[Overlord]

Well then i came blame it on your own ignorance =P

Anyone else got some serious problems with simu, i know at LEAST one third of the players in GS would have a thing or two to say here.
Hell i got another, right so from 1999-2002 I had two premium accounts and two standard..weird, anyway..What the hell is the deal with plat members getting the extra cushy treatement ehe, i more than cut my share of a plat account wtf

[Moist Happenings]

It's all about the money.

My only other problem stems from the money as well, but it's worth note.

They don't do anything about people being idiots anymore. They used to permaban you if you killed 2 people without reason. But they won't now because if you ban somebody it's 10-30 dollars a month out of their pockets. They lost sight of what was best for the quality of the game and worry only about their money.

I'd gladly cut the playerbase in half(and that's about what it would be if they banned all the idiots) if I didn't have to deal with people who make the game worse.

[Overlord]

People that kill people aren't the ones i'd complain about, i'd complain about the idiots, merely because you kill someone does not mean you are an idiot, hell back during the griffon sword saga i had a good slaughter of almost 13 players as I was possesed by V'tull... Why the hell should i be banned for playing a part in the story ehe!
And man its worse now, im still seeing an average of oh say 800-900 people at peak hours everyday

[CrystalTears]

What ever happened to that point system Tigermist wanted to implement so that people who have had premium time wouldn't lose it, but those who had continuous payment would get a little more benefit? It sounded good at the time. Anyone hear anything else about that or did it fall in the cracks?

[Overlord]

Bah just fell on deaf ears it seems, I just think its horseshit... I have clearly been a continuous premmie for AT LEAST enough time to get my other alter scroll.. but now they have reset it to October This Year.... and i have to get another three fucking years back? Wtf Oh yeah... I just love their policy on customer satisfaction.

would someone mind giving me an example of abuse of the system... except starting a prem account and pausing it for a year to get a scroll or something. I think in my case its a completely legit claim and i should be tossed the MEASLY alter scroll i was promised and earned.

[Hulkein]

You know they save all the character info etc in places other then their HQ because they're afraid of someone destroying their servers? It's probably a good thing with the shit they pull on a regular bases. Anyone know Khaladon? I want to fist fight him.

Wow, you're smart.

[Hulkein]

I'm not being serious moe, hit the bricks.

[CrystalTears]

What does Khaladon have to do with it? He's really a nice person so I'm not sure what you have against him.

By the way, he's a pretty big and strong guy. Good luck. :P

[Hulkein]

I just dislike him from a few encounters.. I'm just saying, some people who are a lot more into the game then I ever was could take some of the stuff personally.

[StrayRogue]

So you'd fight him? You'd want to punch a person, and you're saying others get "too much into the game"?? O-KAY.

[Hulkein]

As I already said, I was just kidding around about punching him.

You can't contradict what I'm saying, there is a reason Simu keeps backups of all their info at secret locations, it's so someone doesn't destroy all the servers and info.

The reason is because Melissa and Dave are really aliens sent here to study human relationships and life cycles. It would draw too much attention to go around killing people like mad in real life, thus they create an addictive game that gives them a decent window into the human psyche. They keep all the backups because no scientist wouldn't record their data.

[Czeska]

According to the pictures she showed at Simucon, Melissa is actually a harpy. And David kills birds in pillows.

I love posts like this...

Thanks for the laugh.
