Thank you for more realisticaly couloured post, compared to many others. I understand the troubles and the unhappines those problems coused. And I'm glad you've gotten your money back.
Compared to many others.. which posting here said anything wrong about MO then? And how would you know after a week?
Not trying to provoke you, but I have to point out how I find it interesting you bought 2 accounts and got subbed despite you felt getting ripped off every day.
This is an example of what I was talking about in my previous post above. If you had patience and / or did proper research, you could have figured these things out before purchasing.
Also these days you can use services like PayPal to pay MO sub. I guess payment options were more limited back than and you had to give out all your card details directly to SV.
I played Xyson for a while and that game was broken when I played. I have no ill will towards them because the Dev was very up front with all of us every day saying the game is incomplete and alot of things are broken and need fixing. He was not constantly hyping it saying the next patch will fix everything and make the game better than other MMOs. Finally when I could nto deal with it anymore I contatced the Dev and he gave me a full refund on my box and 3 months for free. Henrick would never in a million years do any of that.
I have played many many MMO's and MO is by first the only one I felt I was getting ripped off every day.
@Stari SV over billed people 2 times. And you had to contact them to get the money back. It is public knowledge. You are new so you would not know. I had 2 accounts one was doubled billed the other was trilple billed. I got all my money refunded but it took 2 months due to the AWESOME customoer service.

Did you just sstart playing the game like you said or have been for a while?? I bought both my accounts after release. Anyone can tell you after every failed patch Henrik would come straight away and say do not worry we found out why the patch was bad and the next one will be better and or fixed. Or this next bit of content will be better than any other MMO, MO2!! blah blah. Hindsight is 20/20. At the time I was buying the bullshit. Now I fell like I was robbed. And like I said I have not felt like that in any other game. If you just started wait a while and see.
Did you have a chatacter you ccould not log into for 2 weeks because everytime you logged in it would CTD and all you needed was a GM to move your toon for you but the customer ticket system takes forever and most of the time you would get 1 sentence answers that don't help you. Or have you had a toon that had half of their skills missing ofr months waiting for a fix?? I can go on and on about this.
Yes I'm new to MO as I already said. That doesn't mean I wasn't there at release. I had my eye on it and I uderstood the game is not in a state I wanted to play so I passed. I guess I have to thank hundred of imaptient gamer kiddies who tested it out for me so I knew it's better to wait. If the game back than was in todays state I'd jump on it straight away.
Otherwise I was Darkfall player, so like it or not, I often heard about MO. Recently I decided to give it a go and I'm happy with MOs' evolution. Haven't encountered any of the mentioned bugs tho I have to point out I'm NOT saying the game is perfect. Far from it. It still has a long way to go before I'd say it's a well polished product but at least it's on a right track or so it seems.
And that's about it. Some people just can't accept world keeps changing. For some reason they are unable to move on... or even less how to forgive, but meh that's going towards another topic.
If people bought the product without seeing it and than felt scammed when it wasn't what they expected...I don't really have that much sympathy, sorry.
It's so much more than just not getting what you expected. If you had been around MO for a longer time, you would have known that the game is a special case when it comes to overhyping and underdelivering.
I understand you're enjoying MO right now - after all, it's a very different game gameplay-wise and as long as you don't mind the rough edges and the total lack of handholding, the first copule of months can actually be quite fun as you explore the "freshness" of it, so to speak.
However, as soon as you start to delve a little deeper into the gameplay you'll notice all the dead ends, the serious bugs and exploits, the broken things that never get fixed, the shallowness of all the "complex" systems, the empty world and the lack of anything meaningful to do. You'll lose ingame assets and hours of paid gametime due to serious exploits and bugs, you'll participate in horribly run "events" and sieges where GMs actively help one side against the other, and so on.
All the while, Henrik will come on the forums once in a while to tell you about how awesome the next patch (or "expansion" ) will be, how great the game will be once X mechanic or Y feature is in place, how they're working on a fix for Z issue and how MO will be the best thing ever very soon. You might ask some critical questions regarding the validity of those statement, and find yourself banned for "trolling" while the fanboi posts about how nicely MO is coming along and how the next patch will fix the game remain unchallenged.
