becuase i try to login t the game and it says the shards are down and i see that their having probs with this was wondering if it had some thing to do with it
Yes people play games for free, but you don't honestly think that is the point of a F2P model do you? In a nut shell about 5% give or take will pay more then what they would get for an average monthly subscription, about 20% will pay about the same (around 15-20 a month) and around another 20% will buy something relatively meaningless through a micro transaction. Net result is those people pay the bills.... The remain 55% will never pay a dime. So why does a company care about them? Because the 5% don't want to play solo, they pay to be involved in an active community.
Yes, you are being used as fertilizer for the flowers. Sorry if realism is to much for you, but you think they went free to play because they like loosing money ?
That's the kind of thinking that keeps me employed.. Oh look, free download from intranet....wait where did I get this virus.... who can I pay to fix this...

Thank you for being you, it keeps me employed.
Granted they didn't go free to play because they like losing money, but if they never wanted people to play for free, they would have went with a subscription, or pay to play. Bottom line is, treating people like <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> because you paid money and they didn't is wrong.
Maybe if I have something to hang over your head, should I make you feel bad for it?
Oh, and I will never keep you employed, sunshine. I can fix my own viruses. I was employed in the same thing.

yup. Some <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> decided to find a bug with the AH, and put negative numbers of AD. Like -1,000,000 and when the auction expires, they got 1,000,000 AD. It probably wont be up til sometimes tomorrow. (It's 2:10 AM CST right now, here in Oklahoma, it's been down since about 2 PM CST) So it's probably a very severe problem, but even with the shards being down. I'm just glad they care enough to fix the bug so no one can abuse it anymore. Cryptic hasn't always been a good company imo, their support behind STO and champions has been iffy. And even STO is finally getting it's first expansion, and the games improved TONS. EVEN champions has improved to the point I actually like it. But it seems they have been putting their all into Neverwinter, this game's a masterpiece to me. I don't care how long the shards are down, I just want them to keep communicating with us, and fixing the game up. It may seem "live" because the cash shop is taking money, and it says on the site.. But with bugs and exploits like this, it's still very open beta. I don't even care what perfect world's site says with it saying "live" Cryptic is the developer. Not perfect world. I'd rather listen to what Cryptic says, than perfect world anyways. They're awful.
My in-game handle is @Ishamii and my STO/CO handle is @konner920 if you wanna add me on anything.

Picture of a kitten would be better puppies are cute but annoying.
If they really want to fix or stabalize economy they need to look at the AH put a ceiling price on items say for example item sold to merchant is worth 10 AP or whatever they are called so the max price (ceiling in AH) might be 100 AP and bid price 10AP start. Those that exploit are often the sellers as in the ones who sell AP for real money they make nice profits out of doing so, but where would the motivation be to exploit if there was a price control? We have all heard of gold farmers they don't just grind mobs they control the player market with prices, upping the value of items to force honest players to look elsewhere to get the good stuff, some of those honest players are well tempted and take that risky plunge into buying gold.

I'm all for a complete do over...wipe everything...then come back with updated content, and refunded real money transactions...throw in a free valuable something for already registered accounts and a clean start.
I can't fully agree with that. I'm one of the players that utilizes the "free to play" aspect of the game, while purchasing Zen/AD whenever the need arises (won't buy any more Enchanted Keys, though. 10-pack wasted on BS drops my first time playing). I grind for my gear, all the Rare drops I have equipped were earned, not simply purchased via RMTs -although no offense intended to those who do. With a full wipe I would lose all the time invested in my character, all the gear I've purchased with my earnings as I haven't bought anything else with Zen yet, and if there's a 100% wipe of characters, I'd be too annoyed to start over & I'd probably leave NW.

That's a good start, now all you need is a first line and a last line.

Btw you have a typo in your signature.

I already told you that was a skate goat.

Unrelated.

What can be more <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>
Than a thirty year old troll
At this time of day?

*sits back and eats popcorn*

It was a goat on a skateboard Ie: skate goat or could be construed as an escape goat. Do I really need to explain this?
sheeesh
hahaha that make me LOL - skate goat
Skate goat is funnier tho, i have to admit. Looks funny in my head anyway. Lol
i tried to explain already. i saw that goat post......too funny that was a good one
No ETA, dont expect an ETA. Do what you need to do and hope to be pleasantly surprised when you come back to check
-fuzz
As it turns out, we'll probably get a skating escape goat riding a cat while leaving a trail of sparkling AD. Haha.
Please do im a bit confused how the hell did you get a goat on a skateboard?
Go to sleep little Padawan
Possibly glue, or groo.
