From a friend earlier, playing Tera EU:

[12:11:33] x: check when i sent the ticket, and im still waiting
[12:12:43] x: and our server keeps crashing during siege, but the worst thing is that a very important istance spawn only if the players kill some bosses, but you have only 1 hour do to it, if u cant do in time, no istance
[12:12:53] x: server crashes, we cant kill bosses, no istance
[12:13:05] x: people asking on forum, why the heck is this happening, do something
[12:13:05] x: and they ban
[12:13:09] x: and delete their account
[12:13:13] x: permaban
[12:13:20] x: 5 friends already banned just for asking

[12:17:35] x: i know many people complained about not receiving the items
[12:17:38] x: but srsly
[12:17:40] x: im still waiting
[12:18:02] x: tera club lasts 30 days, i have 18 days left
[12:18:05] x: still no items!
[12:18:33] x: also they said – its useless to contact support about that cuz “sooner or later” the items will be delivered
[12:18:47] x: but no answer at all?
[12:18:49] x: and omg
[12:18:54] x: ok some hours/days delay
[12:19:02] x: but 12 DAYS LATER!!! im still waiting!

Let this be a lesson to everyone, don’t spend any money on shop items or club for any of their games, if you ever want a new publisher.

Update: the thread has been taken down as is Gameforge’s dictatorship policy: silence and threat everyone who oppose their abuse.

Don’t believe whatever you were told about the Sunakaya incident a while ago, that GM was fired bla bla, that’s all bs, I know the GM and he is still working at GF. Gameforge staff are downright lying about it, the GM was working for the Aion team temporarily while they lacked staff and is now under another games department.

And here we have another event today:

http://board.en.aionfreetoplay.com/board23-aion-the-game/board26-general-discussion/13363-yet-another-gameforge-corruption-story/

Copy/pasting, before they remove the post in the forums:

Yet another GameForge Corruption Story.

If you didn’t know, Gameforge decided to change most of the item names in the European client to all sort of weird and bizarre names of their own which don’t make any sense, and ruin the use of armory for everyone.

Take for example this item/quest:

Now you are wondering what this is about.. because you don’t seem to have a quest with that name, as the changed names don’t even match other related items in most of the cases, so you go to AionArmory.com as usual to find relevant information about the item or quest, just to find nothing..

Turns out the original English name for the item was “Fiery Heart”, and the quest name “Hearts of Fire”. (I found out the name by in-depth check of the logs by item number etc).

Or say you want to look up some drops from Tiamat’s Stronghold (GF calls it Tiamat’s Fortress), all the names have also been changed, for example, Tiamat Guard’s Greatsword:

is now called “Greatsword of the Tiamat Defence Troop” in the GF European client:

 

Another one, the new abyss boss that pops on Sundays, Moltenus, drops items like:

which in turn GF decided to rename them to “Fragment of Wrath Orb”.. ??? seriously? I think they must have been high on weed when they decided these names.

All the armors in TS are also changed, most quests, etc..

So all these changes only come to ruin the user experience even further since their “3.5” update, and also undermine the usability of ARM’s item library, which contains the original US client database names.

Gz Gameforge, you managed to beat yourselves once again in the rank of stupidity.

Final note, I will not be including a European client database for now to alleviate these issues, as I firmly object to all these retarded changes they’ve been doing which only break the game.

This is getting beyond ridiculous. I can’t imagine what must be going through their heads to come up with such amateur stuff.

Gameforge is at it again. After they said many times in the forums they would never sell these since they are not “p2w”, lying as 99% of the time they say anything, now they are in the shop.

The price? Buying 3 costs 600 coins, = 75 euros. I remember back when NC sold them for a week before f2p, they would cost around 7 euro for the same amount.

Just speechless, totally speechless. Nice way of milking money, and another step for p2w again.

Not sure if serious or Shop department just went nuts :0

Update:

1 more joke of the day from GF 20 euro for 1 sup and in us shop you can buy it for 6$ and you get x5 manastone bundle whit it for that price

That means GF price is 29 times higher.

GF are just preying on peoples frustrations.
