But you forgot to see, Joe was told!!. Or so Joe says lol. So I would like to know why the heck does JOE get told the situation in detail, and nobody else... REALLY>. What other forms of Favortizam does JOE get handed down aye.. dang lol.

Let's not assume anything here. Maybe Joe knows the right people, maybe he was just in the right place at the right time, maybe it's not real or just a rumor.

That said, I'm also interested in knowing how Joe came by this information.

Sorry Joe, just sounded like you said you where given inside information, and you promised to keep it a secret. And if you earned The title secret keeper gratz on that:). Did ask the question that if it was anybody I thought was fair to ask:). My apologies if I overstepped my boundaries.

It's ok xD I should've thought about it first that my comment would potentially raise suspicion but I wanted to share what I've heard to cool down the heated mood, if possible. Aside of that, I am kinda used to getting a lot of heat my way for several things I've said/I say

Guys seriously,
which compensation are you talking about exactly?
They haven't revoked anything yet for it to even be discussed! Lol
It will probably take those things to be resolved in a very long period of time,
then they'll have to assest how many people were affected by those changes -
the amount of rage tickets for losing accounts...

I would rather focus on the clarification of the whole situation and how PWI is going to procceed from this;
More important question - what are you going to do to prevent such thing from happening again?

This was done to stop the person running hundreds of JoJ bots on each server to sell ingame coin?

pwi stance on fixing the problem....
JAILING PEOPLE ON FORUMS EVEN PERMA BANNING THEM. DELETING POST THAT DISCUSSES WHAT THE ''PROBLEM IS''.
BANNING CATSHOP ACCOUNTS THAT FORGOT WHAT THEIR DARN EMAIL IS. BAN ACCOUNTS THAT DONT EVEN DO JOLLY...
BANNING EVERYONE BUT THE CULPRIT....
= PROBLEM FIXED. goodnight pwi. rip

I'm only aware of one person that got jailed, and that was for repeated violation of forum rules. (I'll give you a warning too if you like.)
No one has been perma banned on the forum that I am aware of. Not that we should be discussing it even if there were, since that is a violation. Continued violation of the rules after being jailed might result in a temporary ban. Permanent bans are extremely rare, and not given lightly.

Accounts that forgot their email haven't been banned. You just cannot log into it if you don't recall the details. We have provided information on how to retrieve the account. In the future, you should take better care of your account information. That's not on PWE at all, that's entirely at the fault of the user.

No offense dude, but your post really fails.​​

Do you even hear yourself right now? You just disregarded 13 pages of information of how in many situations the email is deactivated and we "LOSE" access to it because of the longevity of the accounts .... So best keep that in mind before you start mouthing off to our community. ​​

That is not a ban though. The account can be recovered. Support email is even in my signature. Open a ticket.

You may want to read a little more into what is posted before mouthing off yourself.

but, ofc, after you wrote this down with pencil and paper dont forget to save this little paper where you will find it 8-9years later. How stupid is that? Some people move houses 3 times in that time.

Now to that incident itself, everybody who can count 2 and 2 together will know what happend here.

Somehow PWI *lost* our account details to a party it doesnt belong to. They realized that and issued the first warning:
https://www.arcgames.com/en/forums/pwi/#/discussion/1208539/psa-important-account-safety-psa
Now this person or party started to log into accounts and most probably cleaning them out. There you got your *suspicious account behavior*.
Then they made the patch so you cannot log in without arc anymore. But this person still can log into account if arc defender is disabled. So you got this post : https://www.arcgames.com/en/games/pwi/news/detail/10803804-protect-your-account-with-arc-defender.

This is the only logical scenario that makes any sense. PWI just decided to go their usual path of not saying anything, just being vage and keep us in the dark.

Now what are the options?
1. They keep it as it is and hope people will forget about it over time. They got experience with this with so many other disasters before.
2. They revamp arc. This is very unlikely. Arc is not a game tool, its a shiitty software to lure us to as much of their games as possible and get as much as money as possible. Revamp would mean that by starting the elementclient the client is starting arc and you enter your details into the client and arc just compares it with the arc defender setting. Basically the other way around as it is now.
3. They return everything back to the way it was and just issue forum/ingame warnings that it is our own responsibility if we loose our account if we dont use arc and arc defender. But for this they first have to finally open their mouth and admit whats going on.

I personally prefer no.3 but as I know PWI it will be end up with no.1

this guy gets it

inb4 this conversation gets sunk like all the other ones. PWI just doesn't get it. sinking and deleting comments doesn't make the problem go away. it just makes ur customers go away.​​

It's estimated that the Chinese new year celebrations would last for about a week in duration so anything that is classified as "urgent" "broken" and "temporary" would be put on hold until then , how long it would take for the issues to be addressed I cannot say so stop stressing yourselves over it....I'm just happy this is not a hospital we're referring to - Happy New Year China!

If this was a FBI, law enforcement type investigation yup the Hush Hush would totally be valid until the investigation is complete.
Just to have a lil fun at speculating here goes a leftfield production. There is a server merge ongoing, which honestly I would like. 1. Arc does a 7 hr maint, same time it took to merge harshlands and DG, I could swear that Tideswell's Ms for me has increased, and become much closer to DG then before the Arc Main lol. Did they move Tideswell East? and put them on the new physical server. They will finish the job by moving DG west to new physical location upon a announcement soon xD. 2. Is it possible that because of this and such a large merger 8 servers of data being compacted to Two could be a issue. So to free up Ram, bandwith on the new servers They saw the only plausible way was to Reinstate the MC back to 2, freeing up the load!. Heck why take more grass away and mobs right lol. Guess time will tell xD.

When they started catering to the PVP crowd is when things started to pivot, nothing against a pvp player, but its kinda true. In the first couple of years there was a massive pve crowd and they came for a reason, and they have left for a reason.

I just hope we get the 10 Minute dc issues fixed. Its really starting to get annoying

my faction this week lost 20ish active players because of this...
thanks PWI ​​
