Blade 1 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 err... LOL! I hope it is a bug. >_> Link to comment
Anestty 0 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Yeh well - I am not a happy puppy I paid for commander - I have the receipt - the money was taken from the Visa account. I was banned. For 3 days I try to find out what this means - no GO knows. I finally get to speak to a GA in irc.ogame.org - first thing he says 'you just got commander right?' me: 'yes' him: 'There are known issues and staff are unable to un ban them for some reason. Put in a ticket to GF - they should be able to help.' Grrr - I had 2 days earlier. I finally get a response from them, if you could call it that - saying the only way they can un ban me is if I send a further 16 Eur's to this account, and when the problem is resolved it 'may' be refunded etc. I give up - lol - I will do it because I am not letting rank 16 account ( >_> was then - who knows today ) be perma banned for what amounts to $25.00 Australian. But - as you may imagine - I am piiiiissssssssssed. Link to comment
Ike 1 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 Hmmm, so, I was not far off in my original guess. Arrrgh, hand over your swag or we'll perma-ban you! - Ike Link to comment
locutus 1 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Darn GF. GF= Game Forge? Can't Win...they're always right GF= Girlfriend? (see above ) Link to comment
erialc 2 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Ahh Coopsy that really sucks big time, amounts to extortion in my book Once you are unbanned you could make a huge pain in the ass out of yourself by contacting Game Forgery everyday demanding the original amount back. Surely Ike there is a law against this kind of BS? hehe if not there should be. GL getting unbanned AND getting your dollars back Coopsy! Link to comment

gogoblender 3,070 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Geez, Anestty that blows. I'd be furious if anything like that happenned to me. Talk about rip off? *sigh* What's happening with this game gogo Link to comment
th3undon3on3 0 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Wow, that is really bad. Claire's right, there ought to be a law against that kind of thing. I don't see how money could make any difference to their ability to unban. Link to comment
Llama8 8 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Surely Ike there is a law against this kind of BS? Ummm, extortion/racketteering/kidnapping/fraud?Give us your cash or we'll break your legs/the account "get's it"! Seriously though Coops, that sucks majorly. Link to comment
myles 2 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Omg what would be next? How low can one goes? .... Hope it works out for you right away. Link to comment
Llama8 8 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I PM'd Igs & he replied: Anestty got banned because he had commander on this account and then he got a new account and bought commander there - the GO mixed up the payment order and he got banned for multy :S its all being fixed.

Borg 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 O.K. they are never getting my credit card number !! Link to comment
locutus 1 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I had commander for a month or two a while ago...then I tried to resign for the 3-month dealy and they never charged my card or gave it to me...they oughta ban themselves for throwing money away Link to comment
Blade 1 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Surely Ike there is a law against this kind of BS? ...kidnapping Major ROFL! Now Coops is kidnapped. >_> I am about to get real upset at GF. For the record, I have never paid GameForge a cent. I have played about 5 commander accounts, but commander was purchased by the player before I was given the account. I never renew the subscription. ^^ Commander is nice for probing, but it only saves about 1 minute per mass probe. (If you have FoxGame/ NeoGame, and are proficient at probing and using tab.) I recommend not giving them any money. However, If they take away officers, I will but commander. Link to comment
Firefly 0 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Good god! I go away for a coupla days, get back to find Coops is perma banned and kidnapped, GF have turned to the German Maffia to make more money from the players and somehow Download is 2nd again. Maybe if I go away again for a couple more days things will revert to normal. GL getting it sorted Coops. Make a pain in the arse of yourself to get back you're money! Link to comment
Anestty 0 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Ughh - Thanks for the show of support all - here is the latest - I received a refund to the Visa account on Saturday - Have sent the extra money to some random account in Germany (that was not easy to do - and expensive to boot) and have heard not a thing since - 3 days now since my last email from them - I am utterly gutted and suffering from 'O Withdraws' and generally just like - Holy Hannah! is going on. What annoys me most is they admit it was an error - yet they cant simply take commander away and un-ban me? ( by the way - took over 2 weeks for them to refund an amount they say was never paid due to system error >_> ) This is just crazy stuff - Edited January 27, 2008 by Anestty Link to comment
Ike 1 Posted January 27, 2008 Author Share Posted January 27, 2008 Well, we are all behind you! You can have my account if you want it. Only caveat is I need to send 3 moonshots to Beowulf. Not much of a fleet, but great planets/moons. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 zomg, that's fantastic...right on ike! +++ gogo Link to comment
Blade 1 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 If you are still banned after 4 weeks, let me know. I will put some real hard pressure on the GA. Link to comment
Borg 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I wonder what would happen if a few of us all changed some planets or moons to be named Free Anestty ? *G* I just changed my moon's name in 5 to Free Anestty Link to comment
