ok, answer me this question if arc is so good for the game

Agreed. I even started a thread on it (previously mentioned within this thread), and have covered it in detail, along with ways to work around using Arc. (You don't HAVE to have that blessing to play, it's just a nice bonus.)

Sweetiebot, please award Jarkhen - Archosaur 10 points for telling it how it is.


If you've been on the forums, you guys should know that I know what the hell I'm talking about 98% of the time when it comes to the client, the way things work, and the way the company handles things.

If you can't see past your tin foil hat, get the hell off the internet. Seriously. Going to Amazon.com will give you more tracking cookies than the Arc platform does.

For a man with so much knowledge it surprises me that you go straight to insults.
My original question was posted in a stickied thread for that purpose.
Nowhere did I say it was for malicious intent.

It was some very simple questions, what info is in the network spikes that is sent every 20 seconds? is it normal? and why is there an additional 1-2% cpu activity after closing the game?.
and please do not tell me its because of the additional processes/services I know that bit its what are they actually doing. e.g. Polling for software interrupts maybe?

As I said in my above post any answer would have been fine for me, even if it was not what I wanted to hear.

Nowhere in your prior thread are these questions answered directly, so the question was asked in a thread created by Sparkie for that purpose and never answered before the thread was un stickied after that post there were over 800 views but not one answer before it was removed, am I frustrated at the lack of info? yep and that may be reflected in how I post sometimes, sorry.

You could have posted an answer then, but I suppose you must have assumed I am anti Arc for the wrong reasons, I hope I have cleared that up in my prior post above and I am sorry if I gave that impression

A very wise Psychologist once told me that a person who is right 98% of the time often forgets they are wrong 2% of the time.

So if you know the answer to my questions then just tell me please without the insults, thats all I ask.

Well said, sir.

Sweetiebot, please award Jarkhen - Archosaur 10 points for truth.

as a mod I expected better than just personal attacks for no reason or ill informed, incomplete information.

Now that I got the offended bit out of the way,lol.

The point is in backing up someone who obviously has not read everything I have posted since I started this game in 2009 (actually I started on the malaysian server before then) has made you lose face in my eyes and insulting me by awarding to points to someone else for being rude when I express an opinion, shows that you are not reading my actual words but are judging me by by what you would have meant had you wrote those posts and why you would have wrote them in the first place.

I was just beginning to like you after all these years watching you be rude to others lol.
Its a shame in my eyes.
I have now posted 2 more posts in this same thread in which if you read carefully I have clarified my position about Arc.

Tacitly giving permission by not deliberately killing the workarounds shows someone may be listening and I hold hope that one day things will change for the better and at no point have I told anyone else not to play the game because of Arc, so what your personal problem with me then?.

All I did was point out that other posters should answer legitimate questions without insults.

But this led to a whole heap of attempted personal character assassination instead of any constructive posts about the lack of response from PWI and once again you guys have missed the point.

So what do you do, you join them well done for a mod, you could have/should have pointed out that the other posters were being rude by suggesting that others are unable to find the information themselves too, but nooo you choose to insult me when I suggest there is a more mature way of dealing with things, that sounds personal to me, what have I ever done to you?

What do I want done about it , Nothing. No Point idiots will always believe what they want no matter what you say, lol.

Just if you have nothing constructive to say except insults then do us all a favor and say nothing, at least then you would not look so silly in my eyes at the very least.

Simple answer.

post #13 My first reactive statement made because of no answer when question asked in the correct stickied thread and in the correct format and where in this post do I quote/refer to anyone, I actually agreed with the last poster and then asked the next most obvious question what does it do then, if not that? I do agree I could have worded it better then, in rereading my own post and understanding how my posts have been interpreted, Point taken.

post #15 My post quoted and the obvious explained to me with no knowledge of anything about me.

Post #16 My reply, that you should not judge a book by its cover.

Is this simple enough for you.

Yep, I agree, I started this np, I am sorry then.

Edit: I had a wall of text but upon seeing that you understand where you went wrong it became redundant. Thus I leave this here instead.

Thank you Kossy.

This is my personal opinion, requoted from prior post

In not giving me the choice it shows that, they just do not give a damn about the users personal wants, what we may want, is not important to the Devs and this is the real problem, when the Devs are telling you whats good for you and not listening to what you may wish to pay for in the their game, it will inevitably lead to premature game closure and that would be a shame.

Note the word shame, you people are not the only ones to love and want this game to go on for as long as possible.

Actually I will add one more statement.
Tell me honestly that the player number drop in NW and on the streets of Dreamweaver since the goons and later glitches were so badly handled, plus introduction of Arc is not real, and I am dreaming when I watch over my mates shoulder every weekend on Dreamweaver and see how much it has dropped since I last played.

I did not actually leave this game because of Arc by the way it was at the time of the plus 10 orb fiasco cheaters need to be seen to be punished and all advantages removed and it did not happen therefore cheats always prosper was my actual reason and I do not cheat so will always be at a disadvantage.

I absolutely agree with every word you said and when they can demonstrate that they can deal with cheats effectively I will return with my time and money ingame and find my own way of dealing with Arc, till then I hope you all have fun and will have lots of new exiciting things to explain to an old returning noob if it ever happens.

wow, i haven't been here since the day i posted this. looks like the internet rambos still like to tell you how crazy you are for not agreeing with them (guess i shouldn't be surprised since those trolls are probably aged from 10 to 25). the personal information i referred to in my original post, was sight traveling, any key stroke information they think they may require, that type of info. those were not tin foil hat types of concerns, but children don't try to understand an adult's concerns. they try and brow beat anyone they don't try to understand, but they sure do want us adults trying to understand when it's their concerns they are expressing.

yep, i'm a crackpot. i petition lawmakers to put an end to this type of "information gathering", i write to companies asking them to stop auto updates, to prevent hackers from placing viruses automatically into comps. because i recognize that digitally there is no such thing as 100% secure. i know exactly what a firewall is, it's the screen door you leave open for the breeze that keeps the bugs out. antiviruses and malware programs, the boot you use to step on the bug that came through the hole in the screen door IF YOU SEE IT. i'll let you little wing nuts whine and complain about the things you choose to accept now, and then bite you in the **** later, because you choose to ignore them as you always do until then. but you little idiots wouldn't understand the phrase "its the principle of the thing that matters" until you've been f'd over a couple times. you just wanna bully people from safety.

oh, and i have this laptop now, and i have implemented the best security in the world on it. there is a firewall (i don't care how good it is) there is an anti virus, and there is a malware program. that isn't even my security, i store personal info on removable storage and remove it from laptop when it isn't needed. when i am not using my laptop i turn it off and close the top, so i don't see me and my current fling on any **** sites. oh yeah, when i'm not using the net i disconnect from the web. hard to get at whats not there. these things i have always done even prior to posting my concern on this sight.

oh yeah, i only logged in because the sight asked me if the computer amazing-gf was mine and ended up changing the password. all these new programs for security, and they still have people hacking accounts. don't bother trying to get a rise out of me, more than probably won't be back until this type of programming is removed, we all know the likelihood of that. enjoy your insignificant opinions afterward.

now look at these paragraphs as the picture so you can see the lines connecting them i am not going to write a book so you understand me

So, did you install gentoo yet? Or are you still running that delicious data-mining windows? Did you log in to facebook, or no wait, just visiting the site is enough for them to track what you do, and/or any other sites (also google) that also tracks what you're doing?
Or simply put; connected to the internet, at all?
Enjoy your false sense of privacy, though.
I think what you should do is read the ToS of about any piece of software you install, then see how many things do the exact same thing; send userdata.
