Monthly Reset of Normal Accounts

DivineRight · 12-01-2003, 09:08 PM

Every month free accounts will have their stats and units erased; only Gold Account users are exempt from the resets. The date was originally set for today but due to the confusion and mass requests by players who are waiting for their Paypal Merchant System accounts to be set up, we have extended the reset date until Wednesday December 3rd/2003. If there was ever a better reason to sign up for a Gold Account, it wouldn't fall too far behind reset protection. So show your support and sign up now!

really glad to hear you delayed-

I think people who started on 11/27 didnt think their month was ending in a couple days.

But now they've got to go gold to keep their drop wins...

Gotta say I think it's shitty you blank the free accounts every month, we're already denied cool units, now we don't get to keep the ones we manage to scrounge up from playing for hours on end. thanks guys, way to piss off the fanbase.

AzN_GuY · 12-02-2003, 06:33 PM

you're free to clean the server accounts out yourself

If you have a more effecient idea, i'd love to hear it though...

canopus · 12-02-2003, 08:10 PM

what about eliminating free accounts after one week of inactivity? That way people still playing can continue, but all the clutter disappears itself??

Then pay $5 its not like its soooo much. $60 a year FFS.

If you got a problem with it, then start paying the $5. We're the ones paying for the server, so I would think we should have a few extras included.

I would suggest playing your Xbox then, the place you spend the most time at is the place you should spend your money at.

I think resetting the stats for free accounts is great, especially since I'm a gold member, but it would be great if it was a month since they signed in. That way you avoid a monthly crunch on people sign ups and people complaining that they that they just started. Maybe show a countdown of days until their stats reset for the last 5 days of their month.

Meh, tell ya what, considering 60 bucks a year isn't THAT much, I'll still give you the finger. You're going to have terrible PR because of this, and will lose out on revenue you could get by having ads or the like on the page that people would pay you for, but whatever works for you guys I guess. I like how the gold account guys are happy about it, reinforces my point when it comes to the free's already being shafted, and now standing to be in even worse shape, the game won't even be worth playing when you're through.

How is it possible to “shaft” the free players?

It is FREE!

It is not like the account deletions where kept secret.

As for ads, the amount of ads that would be needed to pay for these types of servers would very likely make the game unplayable.

I’m certainly not going to shed any tears for the few free members that will leave because their accounts were reset.
I don’t know how the admins here can stand it with all of these idiots complaining about the reset.

People seem to have delusions that signing up for a FREE account gives them a vote in some imaginary democracy.
