First things first, i don’t want to blame AGS or any of the guys and girls working here for this company on decisions made by the management or even given infrastructure (serverwise).
There is just one thing i think could solve a lot of frustration or even anger.
let me explain my point: my wife bought a Founder’s Pack yesterday and wasn’t able to play, cause she had to work today and the download lastet a long time. So she decided (what was absolutely right in my understanding) to create a new character on an existing realm today before 14:00 Serverdowntime.
Out of nowhere AGS decided to close some Servers cause of the upcoming F2P-release and didn’t mind to force players like her (I’m quite sure there are few more of these) to start on a NEW Server without having the option to level and play with her friends and family (of which reason she decided to buy a Founder’s Pack).
We did always play together in every game launched or still supported the last years (new world, WoW, FF14, etc) and are now not able to do this cause of no obvious reasons?
So my solution on this for her and many other players (it’s only an idea, but i think it’s a good one) is to “flag” Founders (i mean, we are the only ones that got this special Title and stuff) as “pre-release users” and give new Players with Founder’s Packs, that don’t have created a character already on any of the NA/EU realms the option to join these “closed” servers. I’m sure that there aren’t that much left with these Packs but i think this will make things way easier for AGS and the community.
thanks for reading and enjoy your game (if it’s up again then)! <3
