lol and moree good ppl to share their "priceless" opionsthe lack of grammar only show the unintelligent, that the poster them-self is unintelligent. You are able to spell very well, good for you b:pleased0 -
PWE, should have re-enabled the compensation code and do a proper checking so that people who have redeemed won't be able to redeem again. And people who haven't redeemed yet can redeem. b:surrender0

Redeem System is fail, this year only there are 2 major isue with redeem system, 1st the "dreamchaser pack glitch" then this compensation redeem. also the minor isue of the annyversary code.
Solution for future:
1. Just remove this ***** redeem page.
2. If you want to give player a reward or an item, just send it to the highest level char on the account, and alow that items to be put on acc stash
3. Since no more dq point, make some in-game system that can transfer your wealty from other server to another (DQ System is the only legal way to transfer wealty). The best i think is the cross-server gold sharing. In PW Indo gold from an account is shared to all his/her char in all server.
I can understand if a game have some glitch/error, but ill not tolerate if the error come from outside game like web site, its unecesary[SIGPIC]BORN[/SIGPIC]0 -

What I would think is a better solution is to send what the original Dragon Orb code gives to each account that has NOT redeemed it. It's only fair, and I know that you have an easy-to-access log of who redeemed the code, so it's easy for you to sort through that list.
You're sending items to Archosaur players individually, so we also know you have easy access to player account lists, so combining the two, it would only be fair if those that never got a chance to redeem it can get it, and the ones that did redeem it once be left alone, and all the abusers banned. That'll satisfy many people.
IMO the major problem isn't "punishing" players (though I won't be disappointed if the most egregious of them are sent to their rooms without supper for a few days). The major problem isn't even that *some* people got nothing. What made this whole situation so very bad is the inequity that was created between those who got significantly more than 1 set of rewards and those who didn't. That inequity has dramatically changed the in-game balance, and in order for the have-nots (or even the have-threes) to catch up we'd need a whole lot more than 3 orbs.
So unless the excess gains are removed, there will be no equitable solution. In other words, while some short-sighted players might be satisfied with getting a pack (hell, some will be satisfied with the 5-hyper slap in the face), I do believe the mature among us with real money to spend will not be so forgiving.
That said, I do appreciate hearing your viewpoint, Skaitavia, and it's nice to have you on our side. Thanks for modding.0 -
So i would like to know how long is this "ban" going to be ?0

from whats been stated it will depend on the severity of the abuse some may be deleted out rightthe lack of grammar only show the unintelligent, that the poster them-self is unintelligent. You are able to spell very well, good for you b:pleased0 -
Guys, stop arguing with each-other. For the abusers: yes, we are mad because you got stuff that you did not deserve, the others got nothing, and PWE is so incompetent and ignorant that it won't do anything about it.
For the others - check my previous post - just fill-up Mr Alan's mailbox, it's usually the only way this kind of companies actually end-up doing something.0 -
The Problem is UNequality ~ some players got a lot of stuff (probably the equivalent to 80 hours of game play) some players got absolutely nothing.
Suggestion: FiX Code and redeem website (so that players can redeem once) the players who already have them will not be able to reuse, and the players who don't can actually get 1 package.
Fix glitches on item redemption page, then reactivate code.
Its silly all this is directed towards one server, Did pwi even know about the 2 weeks raging tide had no faction chat? Or the 2 maintenance no one could log in for 8 hours.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0 -

Questions and Answers
What is the punishment for players who blatantly abused the compensation code?
They will be banned.
I heard from Customer Service tickets that you are only banning players who are from Archosaur. Is this true?
No, I was confused about this when I heard about it. The customer service representatives were mis-informed on the punishment issue, and we're making sure everyone is now on the same page. We're banning players who abused the code no matter the server they are from.
What about the "targeted" compensation efforts for Archosaur only? Is that still happening?
Yes. We are getting everything set up now and verifying that it will go smoothly before we start sending in-game items to players on Archosaur. You can expect yours within the week.
Why is it Archosaur only now, and not all servers, as it was initially, when I missed my chance at the code?
First and foremost, Archosaur players were the ones we've wanted to make sure were compensated for the rollback, to the best of our ability. It was because of the rollback that we started focusing on a compensation campaign. We have 5x EXP going on for Archosaur, something we've never done before, as well as 2x EXP/SP/Drops AND Coin for all servers (also new).
Players on Archosaur now have the opportunity to gain more experience, spirit, drops, etc than they could have during the 3 days lost from the rollback, as these modifiers will be lasting into the next month. All servers were included in this decision because we wanted everyone to feel compensated for November's server connectivity issues as a whole.
(The initial compensation code for 5x HyperEXP Stones is now available for everyone: 3HTYJKE)
Following these initial actions, we still thought that for a rollback, our actions were not great enough. Many players lost refinement and thus power during the rollback, and so giving more exp/sp/drops/coins if you play wouldn't resolve their complaint.
Thus we came up with the compensation code that we all now are aware of.
Unfortunately, because of it's abuse we've had to cancel the cross-server compensation and refocus back on the initial goal of compensating Archosaur Rollback players.
Is there anything I can receive right now?
We've re-activated the initial compensation code that gives out 5x Hyper EXP Stones to players. It can be used once per account until NOVEMBER 30th
You can redeem it here once per account until NOVEMBER 30th : 3HTYJKE
There is no shouting with this one...

Mod edit because it appears people refuse to scroll down enough to read:
UPDATE:
We've disabled the code while we investigate the situation of code abuse.
^This is the reason why the code is saying it has expired when you try to enter it!
Hello Perfect World citizens!
We've finalized our compensation efforts for the past month of various issues that have affected many of you this holiday season.
-Redeem the following code to any character on any server for a collection of goodies including bound dragon orbs! The code is redeemable once per account.

Code ends on Sunday, November 24th @ 11:59 PM PST
We thank all of you who have stayed with us during these turbulent times, and please continue being awesome!
-PW Team
UPDATE:
We've disabled the code while we investigate the situation of code abuse.
UPDATE (11.22.13):
Here is what I was able to get:
- We will not be rolling back the servers.
- A highly focused and targeted Archosaur-specific compensation effort will be enacted.
- We will be punishing legitimate abusers of the compensation code who received far more than is possible from redemption page lag. We will be doing so in a detailed, focused manner which will make progress on punishments slower but more precise. So do not worry if you are one who got more orbs unintentionally. We do not want to penalize those who did not intend abuse of the system.
Regarding the level of abuse, from the data in front of us, it was not quite as widespread as many believe. It was mostly a few dozen or so who abused the code from means other than lag/timeouts. The perception of it being widespread is due to the unintentional in-game message spam distorting the situation, and nonfactual boasts in the forums or world chat.
This is the reason why there will not be a rollback.
So What about players who didnt get any orbs ?0 -

1sth time i agree with a mod xD Well say'd, i think that will be the best solution. b:victory
As for PWI , U can shove u're hypers from u're old code in the *** , with this thing u insulted us more then makein us happy. b:angry
PWI i ask u how many ppl left till now? and how many will be leaveing also? and How many wont buy zen from u anymore?0 -

Wow, 5 hypers! Thx pwi for this incredible gift! Its really perfect instead of charms, orbs event golds! Yes, it was my fault why I did not get anything: I live in Europe. Its not a country, its a continent. Its very far from USA, so not being the same time-zone as u. So imagine, it was night when u posted the code, and as i have a job, i was sleeping.
Now i feel like a child. U showed me my favourite chocolate and u ate the whole while i had to see it.
Furtunatelly i have not put any real money into the game, now u can be sure i even wont do.
I am really surprised on ur decision but if u want to loose ur players, u are on the best way.0 -

You people need to understand what a Terms of Service is and accept it as it is written, or leave because of it. Even if I disagree with whatever length the ban may be, or the fact that some of us didn't receive the original allotment of gifts, and some more than they should have, it is not up to me to decide anything other than to continue playing, or to quit and find another game (which coincidentally all share almost verbatim the same ToS).WeBeKinky Leader - lvl 10x psychic
