Pfff I cant get into the forums anymore. And not that I'm banned, just get "server is too busy" when trying to view a forum. Did they post any news beside the "macro policy" today? Cause I see 1116 users watching the news forum.
im on forum now, have had a hard time getting on too, but if i keep refreshing i get on occasionally, and the last post is still the macro post.
Aventurine posted a warning a while ago today about people refreshing and spamming their servers. the warning stated that youd get a 10 minute block and eventual ban for spamming now the fact is that the forums are totally un-usable right now due to extreme demand from users and people trying to refresh the shop page incase it opens again. The devs said they would notify us of any shop opening. The big problem is that due to the forums being messed up due to lag we wont get that warning so players continue to refresh the shop page all evening. I received a 10 minute block for apparently spamming and refreshing when actually i wasnt refreshing more than a couple of times evey few mins. I had onlyh one window open aswell. so im now paranoid about even connecting to their forums or shop through fear of an IP ban
Why haven't the mods here at MMORPG.com banned the OP yet? Can we start a pettion or something?

Banning doesn’t change the fact that they have server side stability issues with their forums and their game. Sure people may be exploiting this, but this is an issue that should be non existent like in most triple a MMOs. I guess if you’re enough of a fan you can handle it, but everyone on the outside is seriously laughing at how poor of service they offer at the same time charging a premium price. One more strike against the Indie devs. My recommendation is to not put to much hard work into this game because I honestly don’t see this hitting a one year mark.
what i find more comical...is that just because you are banned.....you are still using the same amount of resources from the server than if you werent banned. As long as info is sent to and from your computer, you are using server load....
so these bannings to cut down load....is pure comedy!
I find it funny that they have time to ban peeps from their forum, but you can hack their game all ya want, and its fine. Adventurine needs to fix their current product before allowing anyone else to purchase this "game".
you aren't banned. you are blocked for 10 minutes because you are spamming the order site. They had a big problem with 10s of thousands of people all with 10 tabs open refreshing every 10 seconds.
sorry guys. I know this system is messed up. but stop spreadign bullshit.
I see... I'm away for the forums for a few hours and theres been another trauma the root cause is AVs lovely stupidity. Are you really, really sure you want to buy a game from these amatuers ? At what point do you think service from them will get better ?
true.. cant even get into the billing site now, its crashed.
im thinking bout not buying.. Im more frustrated now than ive ever been with any other mmo and im not even in-game.. lol

Tip: If the forum passes 4k users online, it gets dropped and that cBulletin message comes up.

lol @ a company banning users because they show interest in playing their game.
Aventurine is pure, distilled, raw, natural fail.
they need to get their Sh*t together and open up for this game, this open / close sh*t is just messing with ppls minds..
yep, I'm ready to vote on MMORPG.com's "Fail game of the year".
