Well, the way things are managed in MMOs hardly resemble democracy. Always more like a totalitarian, authoritarian system. And I always wondered why - MMOs with millions of subscribers resemble a country, a mirror of the real world with diligent and lazy, rich and poor, famous and nameless ones, noobs and gurus, etc etc.…
Yeah, as cancer ultimately kills its host and dies with it. To the topic: loss of Gateway already feels like a hand or a leg chopped off. You could still walk with crutches, but not nearly as efficiently as before. Could the devs at least increase the time for auto-kick to login screen to half an hour or more? I could only…
The closing of GW was done terribly poorly and unprofessionally, as it appears. The problem of bots did not emerge a week or a month ago, if there was an intention to disable the GW, there should have been PLENTY of time to think it out beforehand and do it seamlessly, quick and right - prepare reasonable SCA content…
For SCA items, they sure do! Right now several more Lightfoot Thieves appeared on the AH, their price increases, the classic of the stock exchange flurry begins...
The AH interface on the GW was way way better than in-game. Anyway, is there a petition somewhere to let the SCA live on in any way possible? :) I would sign, as many more sure will. BTW, in Rift Online there's a sort of mini-game with companions yielding loot, though not challenging or witty as SCA were. Can SCA also be…
Just by way of comparison, in Firefall, another MMO (a shooter) the devs at some stage disabled crafting at all (it was quite fun) promising to put it back in place in the future after a revamp and redesign. This situation persisted for several months and may be so still (haven't checked the news there for quite a while…
not bad for a Google translate, but "einstellen" means here to stop, to cease, not "set", so "the gateway of Neverwinter will be terminated, deactivated, etc". Finita la commedia, that is...
Read the German announcement just now. So they officially admit being ultimately defeated by bots and cheats (whatever this may mean), saying that the company resources will be relocated to generating game content (but SCA was also not the least part of it) and offering a free Gond mount to all who used the GW recently…
The gateway in the Russian NW is also down now. As I have supposed earlier, there was about 2 weeks delay in updating the game as compared to US-EU, and they are doing it now. Things start to get really interesting :* PS: there are currently 2 Lightfoot Thiefs on the AH, and their price is like 10 times higher as I…
Decided to revisit the game to look at the last update and found that the Gateway is not working for quite a long time now. Funny enough, the Russian version of it still does: https://gateway.nw.ru.perfectworld.eu/ dunno whether they are up to date with game updates compared to Western counterpart of NW. Much has been said…
