OK. This has been an epic day. First we get the news that MO is ready for launch.. and just minutes before I got a package from Sweden.. guess what it contained?  Yup... Mortal Online boxed edition!

 

Yes.. I cancelled my order in Dec  and got a refund in January.  They claimed to have mailed the games out in early January.. but I just received a boxed copy.. TODAY!  Thats 2 months mailing time!!

 

I have already sent them a message to support telling them I got the game today after I already got a refund... but that if they want to send a SASE I will be happy to send it back.  I'll let you know if I get a reply!

    i would double check that there is an actual game in that box you received :P

  • Slapshot1188Slapshot1188 Member LegendaryPosts: 17,724

    It's got a DVD.. I assume it's from a 3 month old client but have no desire to find out :-)

     

    I honestly am floored on so many levels... I don't know which is the worse issue:

     

    A) That they sent me the game 2 months after I got a chargeback on my card

    or

    B) That it's March 13th and the box they "mailed out in the beginning of Jan" just showed up...

     

    Although.. in fairness the box is actually pretty nice... if it actually had a working DVD in it and some documentation it would have been something decent.  I was surprised that it was in one piece after all I had read about it.

    A second account?  Heck I didn;t want the first one and thus the reason for the chargeback/refund..

    Well.. I didn't get a direct reponse (no email) back, but they did close my acct so I assume that means they don't want their box back...

    Yep, but it took them about 7 months to finally ban my account after I did a charge back

    They had (and still have) plenty time to do it before launching the game. Rush wasn't really necessary.

    I wonder if, when the game is out and people start subscribing, they will also ban everyone that stops their subscription. I wouldnt be surprised.

    That would be a completely different issue to be honest. It makes sense to ban an account tied to a refund, as otherwise that account could possibly log in after paying the monthly fee. I highly doubt they would give you much of a problem reinstating the account say you purchased the product and wanted to apply the key to your existing account.

    What you're suggesting would be unprecedented in the MMO world as far as I know.

    Who also take lion's share of incomes, and change game's mechanics and content to fill taste of masses.
    To get more income.

    Maybe they're banning you for unsubscribing out of spite?  Seems weird whatever the reason.  You may want to resub. like in other mmo's most ppl have the opportunity to resub and old account incase new content/expansions happen.  Sort of reminds me of the Soup Nazi episode of Sienfeld.

     I would not doubt it.  But I do not think so.  If someone was to get banned, they can just make another account when they wanted to buy it in the future, if ever.

    For the record this is my entire quote... I don't like being taken out of context... just something about that bugs me... pet peeve I guess:

    I have no problem with them shutting down the acct... I did afterall chargeback and get my money refunded.  I just find it funny that:

     

    A) If I believe them about shipping, the box took over 2 months to reach me

    B) They never responded to my support emails.. even this last one

    C) If I hadn't notified them, my acct would probably still be active

     

    Oh well, C'est la vie...

    Yeah, I agree, and more than funny, what happened to you seems unfair, from a customer standpoint.  Though by not banning your account, and by some luck they actually get MO in a good playable state, and it actually succeeds (I know big "if" I know!), what if you wanted to use your old account to resub... or would you have to create a new account.

     

    From their standpoint, you'd think they'd leave your account open incase you came back perhaps months later, after they've may (or who knows, may not) have ironed out more of their bugs, improving on a more robust code.

    Yup, I agree like you said, "funny" but not the ha ha kind.

    Doubt their account system works like that.  It is probably only setup to sell 1 copy of the game, after buying it would have the subscription.  That's why he might have to make a new account because they do not have any of that setup.

    That makes sense, good deductive reasoning on your part.

    Heh.. I know what you're saying but there is zero chance I would ever give these guys my money again.  When I have to go through my credit card company to get my money back because the company won't even respond to Emails..zero chance of ever getting a second shot.
