Using caps doesn't make your complaints valid, sorry.
Just move on dude. You're not even disussing things here, you're just raging like a spoiled child with severe entitlement issues, attacking people and calling them apologists and fanboys and liars and whatnot just because they disagree with you.
You seem to think Snail games, a big international company, should somehow care about your personal feelings and also help you secure your personal account information against hackers, which is a pretty naïve view on things (to put it politely). Are you new to online gaming? These companies don't care about you, they only want your money so all you can do if you feel their service is unsatisfactory is take your money somewhere else.
Your creating drama and posting uninformed, emotional bs all over the place just stirs up more interest for the game since people will reply and counter your misinformation. How does that make you feel?
Caps is appropriate if you want to bring out certain words. It seems you don't even know the basic of that.
And I am a spoiled child and yet in the same sentence you claim Snail is a "big international company" and yet have horrible translation and bad customer service. A naive person and an apologist at the same time.
Drama, uninformed how? Tell me, which I said about them are wrong or uniform?
Again, apparently you are not only apologist for Snail, you are a naive person as well. Tell me, which I said about Snail so far that is wrong and uninformed? You seem to throw those words around and yet you offer nothing to prove what I said are wrong.
No, overuse of caps is a sign of incompetence at getting your point across and it makes the poster look like an internet noob.
You are naïve because you expect a multi-million dollar coorporation to care about your personal feelings and to provide basic internet security for you. Your endless rage posts and whines paints the picture of a spoiled brat who thinks repeating the same thing over and over and over again makes him right.
The issues you raise have been adressed multiple times, both by Snail and by other posters here and on the AoW forums. But just because I'm such a nice guy ima adress them again.
* "Bait and switch": ok so you didn't get your OP perma pony. Get over it already, the Elite package was a great deal and you got lots of entertainment for measly pocket change. As for CB2 being prolonged, has it ever occured to you that there might be other consideration here than your personal feelings on the matter? Like, you know, the game not being ready for OB or launch? You paid money for beta access and a headstart and you got your playtime. You expect full access during a 4 month period (CB2) plus two months more after launch? Please, this is not a non-profit organization we're talking about here. And you're not forced to pay for anything, just like you're not entitled to anything. Just act like an adult about it and go away if you're not happy.
* Pay to win: this has been discussed so much that I cba to delve deeper into it. Most people seem to agree that AoW is not pay to win by any reasonable standard (unless you're willing to call any ftp title, plus GW2 and EVE, pay to win). Let me just point out the irony here: a guy rages about not getting a permanent OP horse in a game where all mounts are time limited, yet at the same time whines about the game being pay to win. I guess it's only pay to win when someone else is winning, right?
* Hacking: yes, some accounts were hacked. It happens. Snail has already stated that their database was not compromised, something they're obliged to disclose should it be the case. There is nothing more they can do, short of making an extremely time-consuming investigation of all accounts on the server, trying to get people's money back. But why should they do that, when the responsibility is not theirs but the individual players' and when there are far more pressing concerns for them to adress?
Just for the record I'm no "apologist" by any means, I think Snail has a lot to learn when it comes to PR, communication and overall professionality. But I also see the bigger picture here: this is not about me or my personal view on things. Snail are not obliged to listen to me or you or anyone else, they're running a business and providing a service and as customers all we can do is vote with our wallets. I happen to enjoy the game so much that I don't really care about their conduct unless it affects my enjoyment of the game in any serious way, or somehow affects me financially. This has happened to me in other games and believe me, then I'm the first one to resent the company (just look at my post history), but it has yet to happen in AoW.
Also, voicing concerns and giving feedback is one thing. Writing endless, incoherent rants and rage posts about stuff that's already been adressed is something else; it's pointless and it makes you look like a fool for not just moving on when you're dissatisified with the company.
LOL nice trolling from a AoW hater. Hey, every game has a couple.
Playing the beta card. Well guess what that doesn't fly around here brother, its one of the smoothest and funnest betas I've ever played. Game was already finished pretty much in China before it started in NA.
Throughout the beta I've experienced MINIMAL downtime (servers up 24/7), literally not 1 crash ever, more content than I can test, optimized graphics, and few if any game-changing bugs aside from the translation.
So don't call it a beta when it's more retail-ready than some MMOs I know that have already launched. Go play Mortal Online. That's a real beta post-launch.
Spoken like a poster child. Notice the time you post usually around mid-night in US, I can guess where you live.
Remember, I am not the one that playing the BETA card, Snail did for the over the past 3 months with every problems contribute to BETA excuse.
It is funny that you don't mention bugs/errors happen all the time since CBT2 starts 3 months ago. Of course server will always up because the population still too low. The problem people complaint is the customer services and bugs/errors. Those things that already been fixed in Chinese version, but not port over here and thus we are actually reporting the same thing that happened before.
More retail ready? Read Snail's forum lately? Everything it's all about "The game is still in BETA, so this should be expect". It seems you are clueless about what you said. Again, I am not the one that using the BETA excuse, Snail did and all those defender did for over 3 months.
You like to label people, so you are just a Snail's apologist and I suspect Snail is actually paying you for damage control.
Obviously Broken ?
AoW runs great without any game breaking bugs. Most peoples complaints are about the payment model, UI and translations. Unless you were being sacastic ?
Thanks again for proving my point that you are an apologist. This little quote said it all about everything you said:
I happen to enjoy the game so much that I don't really care about their conduct unless it affects my enjoyment of the game in any serious way, or somehow affects me financially.
The red texts basically said it all. You are an addict to this game and since when is it possible to convince an addict that something is bad for them? It's all about "not happened personally to me, don't care" seem to sum everything up nicely.
You're obviously incapable of reading multiple sentences and also not interested in a discussion. Basically your argument comes down to the following:
TOO POWERFUL LIES SWITCH AND BAIT PTW CRAPPIST HORSE BETA FALSE ADVERTISMENT WAAAHHHH
Then somebody replies to your moot points and actually counter them and then you go FANBOY APOLOGIST ADDICT LIAR BOOOH
Do you really expect anyone to take you seriously? Good bye now.
Then tell me, how is the slowest horse be call TOO POWERFUL?
Not somebody, the sameone that happen to apologize to Snail again and again. I talk to lots of Elite player and not one of them think the horse is TOO POWERFUL. In fact some of them already get rid of it.
TOO POWERFUL LIES SWITCH AND BAIT PTW CRAPPIST HORSE BETA FALSE ADVERTISMENT WAAAHHHH
Are they not happening? It's the opposite, it actually happened and they are all truth. So telling the truth is considered ranting now?
OMG what kind of pathetic argument is that...
We got it now AngelKnight, you made your point, thx, was cool, now please leave.
You hate the game, You hate snail, understood... wtf you still talking about it ? are we supposed to care about YOU when you clearly have absolutely no respect for what the others might think ?
Let it be dood...

The majority of people who playing the game is not free player, thus the game is not F2P yet. That's the reality.
Not all beta key work, there are people who have to get multiple keys for it to work and lots of player get those key for alt.
The problem here is again most player who play from the start has to pay to get in and if you actually go into the game and ask, you will realize there are only small amount of free player. Thus again the game is not F2P yet, it is more of B2P/P2P majority now.
The kind of argument where a person is hype about the game and would ignore all the fault and bad behavior from the game company. Never meet an addict in real life?
Again, like I said, what I said in the 6 points is wrong?
Edit: When others tell me that something is obvious craps and somhow the company tell people that it is TOO POWERFUL and they accept it as fact.
What do you think I would say? Oh hey, it is a crap, look like a crap and everyone know it is a crap, but this person tells me somehow that the company is corrected because that craps is TOO POWERFUL.
HE didn't ignore Snail's faults since he admited snail sux on many points and also stated the game is far from being over/perfect yet. We just consider it allready really enjoyable, you don't. END OF CHAT.
I'm done with you. I dunno if you are just here for some forum fighting for the lulz or if you are really that narrow minded and I really don't care. You are definitly not worth wasting time on.

All those complaints are why the game is broken, a game relies on suspension of belief to get a player into the game ergo a bad UI and engrish translations break this for a game, it isn't a game breaking thing per say but it is a broken game if you cannot immerse yourself in the experience. Having played the game briefly as a full beta player I was also unimpressed by their take on Free2Play, their model takes too many steps towards pay2win and too many away from incentivizing purchases from the cash shop in a way that is not disruptive to the overall gameplay (I'd understand selling currency via the shop or xp boosts but not both, there's a fine line there and once you cross it you're basically telling people "yo dawg, you can spend a looooong time grinding or for the low low cost of x$s you can bypass most of that and get money too!" , one or the other really not both).
Its really hard to beat Nexon in worse mmo publisher company. I never played any games that is run by SnailUSA.
It took Nexon more than 13 months to get back to me on a hacking issue. I had already forgotten and moved on to a different game.
SnailUSA sounds like the typical F2P service that loves gorging players. Their game does not look very good and reminds me of other generic titles I have played in the past. GPotato cash-shop was blown out of porportion the games not so great and they were finally sold to another company. Aeria sounds like they rely heavily on P2W in their games like another F2P service.
There are some good companies and then there aren't. A lot of them aren't as good anymore like the older ones use to be with the expection of a few today in this sea of over-rated titles. Sometimes the games are good but the companies managing them aren't too.
Another troll, have you actually played the game?
The question is how long you played the game and how much you know about its mechanic?
TIME PROGRESSION, that is the main money making of this game. Unlike others games where they sell XP Boost and have a clear cap goal. This game is not like that.
In any other MMO games, the more I play, the faster I gain level. Sure if I spend money on XP boost, I can level twice as fast. However if you look at AoW, time progression is solely based on TIME, it means it doesn't matter how much I play, how hard I play, there is a barrier that I can't never be able to cross. The only way to cross is hint in spending more money, not effort or hardwork, but real money into VIP, into buying gold.
But then if you look at gold rewards event couple with lots of events, what do you see? Spend money, spend money and spend MORE MONEY. Simple as that.
And people tell me Snail is a multi-million corporation company and yet give me the same translation level as those cheap F2P games out there with the level of customer services with the same response. You tell me, is it really not just another typical money gorging company?
He didn't admit anything, he simply mitigate the damage on Snail.
Simple as that. What he said about Snail is obviously what everyone noticed just 15 mins by logging into the game and daily occurance in game chat.
However, for a guy who tell me, a crap horse, the slowest horse and everyone hate that horse is a TOO POWERFUL horse because Snail said so. What reaction do you think I would get or you would get if you heard something like that?
Besides that, the hacking incident, from a "multi-million corporation" like he said handle the translation poorly and then response to the hacking incident like "It's none of my business".
This is akin to having a security for your apartment complex:
Victim: Hello, I am a resident in apartment 42, my place just got rob, most of the valuable stuffs are gone. Can you help me on something?
Security: Wait a moment, let's me take a look at the camera's footage and I'll get back to you.
60 minutes later...
Security: Oh, I just review the footage and I saw you dropped your spare key, then a guy who live in the same apartment complex picked up your key and open your apartment while you were gone. I saw he moved all your valuable from your apartment to this apartment.
Victim: What? When? How? Can you do something to help me?
Security: Sorry DUDE, you dropped the spare key, it is your fault, here is a place where you get some tips so this won't happen again.
Victim: But can you help me in anything? I just lost everything. Call the police, give them that footage or someone who have the authority to help me.
Security: DUDE, it's your OWN FAULT. Live with it and learn the lesson. I am not obligate to help you on anything in this. I know where the guy who took your stuffs, I saw everything, but let's it be a lesson to you.
That's pretty much how it turns out with GM's response and this same guy told me that is the right response from Snail and we should all accept it.
thanks for this post, OP, I'll never touch this game or any other running by Snail.
sorry but I can't get how you could pay 10$ to play beta with junk company when you have polished WoW for 15$ with best ever helpful service?
or many f2p you can drop when they start to be after your money (don't wait for any service, get fun and run out =D).
to all Snail defenders, and to be clear I nave played this game and never would, just got similar issues with some others cheap junk providers:
by your logic, guys (at least you want me to name every one), if my car got scratched in a public parking it's my fault as I never should park it there?
or if I got abused as girl it's my fault too - I should cover me when go out or, better, stay home.
or if someone take your money but not provide you with service or goods it's your fault, you should never pay them?
When you try to make victim guilty of what has happened it's no more free democratic society, but anti-human dictatorship where only slaves can exist.
Question is: why to be slave of bad company even providing good game? I guess such company need at least to be ignored and not deserve any penny from our pockets.
I would prefer to attacking them in justice but nobody yet created relative legislation.
Sorry for you, OP, but seems all you can do is stay far from this game and keep posting more about how bad they are, so more people will avoid same errors.
try before buy, even if it's a game to avoid bad surprises.
Worst surprises for me: Aion, GW2
fixed for You, like others wrote, snail HAVE to inform players about any data leak, so on their "cam log" they would see it, even when Your OS/game crash You have logs of it
@Lovely_Laly thats a joke right? Few years ago when fake webs started to pop up, I wrote mail to Blizz that I got mail asking me to log on fake Blizzard web , and they should write about it on their forum before some one who wouldnt notice will give info about own account. Like 3 days later they reply, We didnt ask for any account info, have a nice day. It looked like generated mail sent by bot.
