Just a matter of time before your account gets hit. Please keep an eye on your credit card statements and/or PayPal, as it seems like SV is starting to charge people already.

    I just posted that.

    I wouldnt be so quick to jump on the "Unethical Behavior" bandwagon just yet.

    It might just be a billing error. Ive contacted MO/SV CS and submitted a ticket.

    Do you just look for any reason to hate on this game and SV? Im the one that got charged an Im not screaming fraud.

    Seriously dude, get a life.

    It's an advisory message more than anything -- people should check to see if they also got charged.

     

    And the unethical behavior points more to the auto-renew billing than it does anything else. Let's see if you get your money back.

    Not sure why this is causing epic raging. I preordered and have not been billed. Sorry for those of you who have, but I highly doubt its going to kill you and your offspring. Notify customer service and if they don't fix it then come here and rage.

    Fiasco is the word i was looking for...Fiasco describes the whole MO, SV and everything that it has..Game quality..lack of it i mean, beta stage still not ready for even an open beta, quality standarts of SV are inexistent in every aspect, 6 year ago if a game like this released they would get arrested..but now every games is so used to unfinished alfa test games getting released..that they overlook what the game is in reality..a complete fiasco..

     

    where on earth is the common sence and quality standarts of the consumers??? its gonne??

     

    I dare a site or magazine to review Mortal online...they can not, why??

     

    Because if they review MO they are getting very low also..and will have to start reviewing every mod made by fans of every game on earth, and start reviewing every indy and sub indy game available that nobody ever heard of...

     

    Yes..MO is in fact a Unreal engine mod made by amateur fans of ultima online (SV)

    Since the billing is outsourced (as per EU laws) it is likely something went wrong with the billing firm, in which case Pirate ahs done the right thing by bringing it up to the support team,

    I am still showing my intial activation with no more billing needed until 9th July

     My account shows that I have an extra month and shouldnt be charged till Aug 20th.

    Being charged early is bad, but its not like it was with Aventurine/Darkfall.

    Those Fkers charged me 3 times in a row for that game and it took me over a month to get my money back.

     Would you like some toilet paper cos no offence your talking crap

    Unreal is used by a LOT of developers, saying MO is an unreal mod is like saying Unreal is a mod based on C++ coding...

    FYI games using Unreal?

    My sub was suposed to get charged 14 August..so 2 month gameplay in total..its the least they could do, if we look at the game wannabe, and the uptime of the servers and gameplay MO has...in sum the disgrace the game is...

    But they removed 1 month lol so now its over the day 14 july...and 14 july the game is still the mess it was when suposed beta started..they dont even have a clue on how to fix a damn npc multiple respawn bug...wtf?

    I go to the library i see 6-8 copyes of the same npc..that should never ever be possible not even in beta.

    Yes, and if you look at that list of games, they have functionality that is not in the engine, that has to be developed.

     

    The functionality of MO is available in mods for Unreal. That's basically what he is saying, that is is no more impressive than Age of Chivalry (a free, source mod) in terms of gameplay, and there are mods that have more depth of play than MO.

     

    Heck, if you want to compare the list of games there to MO, it's almost a joke to think about how bad MO is compared to any of them.

    Ok, it seems that this is MY FAULT, not SV.

    When they did the Forum change I went to link my game account to my forum account and it showed that I hadnt entered my CC info for my sub. So I did.

    Appearantly in doing that I inadvertantly purchased another month.

     

    So all you haters can get off the "SV Sucks" truck now.

    The error is mine, not theirs

    If you can purchase a single month by itself, then that system is designed to rip you off.

     

    You're still entitled to a refund if you didn't want that month.

     

    And I'd still suggest people be on the lookout for charges from SV.

    Good to see the reason why that happen. Thanks for clearing that out. It wasn't Star Vaults fault and they don't off course try to rip someone off. 

    The haters can now crawl back into the hole they came from. It's laughable how some tries to make this into a rip off thing.

    Well I haven't been charged for my subscription yet so unless you have kind of proof I say that this is starting to get kind of old with the hate crusade against SV.

    You don't like the game, you don't like the company, you accuse them of scamming but never provide any proof just lame accusations of what their intentions might be with some stupid Nostrodamus crap that you and your cohorts have been preaching the last year.

    This got old in 2009 dude, why not just give it a rest and go play Xyson then complain about how Notorious Games are the great Satan for a year or two!

    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

    If it is any help.  Horizons accounting was way worse when they switched to demo mode.  They had you enter ALL your personal infomation including credit card, THEN had you enter your key... which was a invalid key. 

    Now that was unethical.

    This thread is epic.  The guy with the billing dispute is IN THIS FORUM, yet it's Herc whose trying to rally the mob of pitchforks... it's like no one's listening to the guy whose going "Maybe I reacted too quickly", and instead are just taking this opportunity to dogpile.

     WUT?

    Their website showed that you hadn't entered your CC info.. so you did.   This apparently triggered billing you $14.xx

     

    Somehow this is the users fault?

    I guess you didn't know... companies use other company's engines ALL THE TIME! Especially the Unreal engine! EPIC has been providing companies with engines for probably the last 10 years and I would guess it is also the most often used engine in games. It's fine if you didn't know this before.. but calling a game a mod due to a company using anothers' engine is ridiculous.

    Yes, and all I'm saying is that people should be aware of this and check their credit card statements.

     

    I don't see how it's that big a deal. SV already showed us they don't care about customers by auto-subscribing people who didn't choose to be, so it's not a stretch to think they'd bill incorrectly too.

    Yes, and EPIC also provides people the ability to make MODS with their engine.

     

    The tools and features in MO more closely resemble a MOD, than a fully fleshed out game. But what can you expect when the lead developer was an amateur mod writer for Unreal?

    Why all the personal attacks on SV?   

    Although you're right in that nothing good has ever come from modest beginnings.  And that everyone should trust your claims.
