A game run by inconsiderate pricks, who may as well stop working in games and go run a jail or something to feel more powerful.
So an in-game buddy of mine let his younger brother create another account in the same server playing from his PC. And the moniker of the account wasn't so far off either. The buddy didn't know about any rule or anything at this point as he only focused on playing the game and enjoying it for like 2000 hrs by then, and probably his brother wanted to try this as well. Without any warning or anything both the accounts got banned, temporarily (point to be noted). My friend was as surprised as one can be and was asking around to figure out what exactly was the cause for the ban! When it was stated, he waited since it was "temporary", but after waiting for a few days he requested the ban to be lifted so he can continue to play his own account, not concerned about the other account at that point. [i]This has to be mentioned that this buddy of mine, I have played many many games and invested long hours in those but, this guy must love this game to spend thousands of hours before I could reach 400 hrs in it, even though he started after me! He even spent money in it and had almost every ship except the Huracan (he was only 10 blueprints short). He was a helpful guildmate we could depend on when it was needed. Very silent but always grinding without any complaint.[/i] Waiting without being able to play a game he loved so much was punishment enough right??
After his request he got a response that wasn't expected by him or any of us who knew him and this whole situation - the ban is permanent and it is already stated in the rules (some article nobody ever reads UNLESS they break it) about multiple accounts and what else is not allowed. It also included more about how repeated requests wont change this outcome as rules are same for everyone etc etc. The tone was as harsh as of a cardinal sin anyone could get for a first time offense, without ANY warning!! He is not just shocked and sad, but he feels betrayed and mistreated.
People spend time for a reason, since time is the most valuable commodity even over money. If this is how loyal players are treated then I don't know about others but I wont be paying even a cent into this game after this (regrettably cant refund what I already have spent). This is definitely a first time finding such toxic authority for a game that has so small player base.
