I have fond memories of my time in Horizons. There are many things I liked about it, but so many great concepts left to die and so much potential never developed. I really think its sad, that it had to end like this. There won't be a glorius rebirth of this game, its too old and too late now. The sooner the HZ players accept this and move on to new MMO communites, the better.
Originally posted by bwilliamson I had a good time playing Horizions. It's not near as bad as most people make it out to be. I had fun playing my spearman, and dragon. Great crafting system. The client is garbage I do agree. It lags on my system that can play Oblivion maxed out.
I had one billing issue where they double charged me one month. I got on their IRC server, and channel, and the guy fixed it within minutes. You guys should try their IRC network to get in direct contact with someone. I haven't been billed since I quit playing it. I guess I am lucky.
Great game, but not worth paying to play, and now that all these issues are going on I doubt I ever touch it again. To bad, it was a fun game to play. Way under rated
When Tulga ran the game Irc was the place to get fast service. Since EI has taken over they dropped their Irc server moved it to Stratics. You could try the Irc server but lol you won't get much help there anymore. Heck these guys do not answer phones, email or snail mail. Search them out on BBB the cannot find nor get any response from EI. Best bet would be to put in a ticket or contact Ipay directly. There is little to no customer service atm. They can't even pay their contractors without bouncing all the checks better find a game with actual customer service Horizons has none.
Originally posted by snickel Yes, they have billing problems.
Yes, things are frozen right now and the future is uncertain.
But I still play it, like many others. And I like it a lot. None of the games that are due to be released has all the features that I like in this game, namely (flying) dragons, true multicrafting, and the chance to buy a plot and build all the structures on that plot. Not to mention a very good and helpful community.
Horizons has been pronounced dead so often before and has outlived many of the flashy newcomers.
Its not dead -- it just smells funny
Err... "billing problems"? Wow. Talk about spin-doctoring worthy of a politician.
No.. Billing problems is when a computer is down and so there's a lapse in when funds are transferred, for like.. an hour or so, or maybe a day.
What IIE are doing goes far beyond "billing problems". With what is being described in this forum, and elsewhere, what they are doing is more in line with deliberate theft and deceit.
And how did it "outlive" any flashy newcomers? It's been around longer than some, sure.. but that's not some great accomplishment.. it was released *before* many other games and somehow they've kept it afloat. That doesn't mean it's better.

I don't know. It seems as if this might the the final breath. Evidently, they disabled account creation. Good thing, too, I guess, since character creation has been broken for some time. How long can it be before they shut the doors for good?
