Sort of how in some movies I find myself rooting for the psychos because the victims are so naive and unaware.

I presume no one knows when or if AoC will be more than a BR game?
This BR ideas is NOT for testing THE GAME,it is THEIR test to see how they can make money off a very popular trend in gaming.
As mentioned by many already,you don't start a cash shop with no game or before the actual release...right Mr.Roberts?
it is NOT crowd funding like this,it is RMT,cash shop gaming and nothing more.Other already released games have cash shops,one of the first being EQ2,nobody was going around calling EQ2 a crowd funded game.
This developer joins the realm of the crap developers trying to steal money from naive people.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Just some facts:
The Webpage Migration was supposed to be done on 5 October. This is from PAX West. I can find the soundbite upon request.
Then it was supposed to be done on 15-16 December.
Then it was supposed to be done on 18 December and take 4-8 hours.
On Christmas it was reported that some of the data may have been corrupted.
On 28 December it was reported that migration issues may take until the end of next week ( 4 Jan) to resolve.
Any soundbite, fact or citation you'd like, I"ll happily provide it.

This is what you get when you OffShore work to India. The PROBLEM is right now with Game developers in California a State where $100,000 a year is low middle class. This drives the cost of making a game up. Steven should move his development to a place like Iowa, or Ohio. The Mid west is where you can pay developers $50K to $100K and they can live very well on that salary range.
Game is a F2P beta so was there ever a promise by the devs the game would not be taken offline for periods of time?
The opening of the cash shop has nothing to do with this if no promises were made to keep the game servers continully online once it opened.
As far as I know any purchases already made will still be usable when the game returns online, and still accrue rewards in the future MMORPG.
If players made any other assumptions outside of what was stated or agreed to it is solely their mistake.
Steven has often proven he is a master at wordplay, and has no issue letting people believe what they wish as he is very careful not to say things which he can be held accountable for.
Regardless, it doesn't mean anyone has been cheated.

But I tend to be suspicious by nature... and this doesn't pass the smell test.

So what Ashes is dealing with this this type of bullshit that come from cheap foreign labor.
Sorry your experience with an IT group in India was horrendous. That has zero correlation here.

Unless AoC buyers were told ahead of purchase that the game is shutting down for a period of time, or were told that the item is available only periodically, then AoC has the responsibility to keep the game running so that the item is available and taking it down is a breach of this responsibility and their contract.
The buyers are entitled refunds.
