Channel went down before I could switch channels, and character doesn't show up on any other channels. Creating a character throws a server error, so no alts.

The universe is telling me to take a nap, I guess.

Enjoy your nap, happened to me during beta and I just went to bed, woke up and all was well

I hope the character creation on Serendiah will come back when the server is recovered.

This is also the only game I can think of ever that needs a UAC prompt to launch.

You loving spergs spent an incredible amount of money on what was guaranteed to be snake oil. Past the 50 Dollar pack there was literally no bonuses worth the extra 50 dollars. They don't even give you enough currency to buy a loving ghille suit and had to have a special sale just so you could afford a single vanity costume. You would have easily gotten more bang for your buck had you bought the 30 dollar pack and then spent 70 dollars on pearls for the cash shop. But no. You fucks wanted to get in a few days early to catch what was and always happens at mmo launches, the mmo launch day cancer.

Thanks for being overglorified paying testers to make sure the game is working before I get in. I totally appreciate it. Dumbasses.

I literally told you so.

We are still exploring the best solution for the current problem and what would have the smallest impact on everyone's experience /playtime.
Wipe is almost off the table because it can not be done immediately (without long down time). It is possible that we are able to transfer characters stranded on wrong server later, but this is not confirmed.

If someone decides to re-roll and is worried about the reserved character name, we will likely be able to fix that later. Just create a new character and don't delete the old one for now.

The 30 Buck pack comes with:

quote:

The Game ( All I want )
1 Guest Pass 7 Day. ( Worth nothing to me )

3 Housing Décor Coupons ( Useless )
3 Unknown Dye Boxes ( Garbage )
Appearance Change Coupon ( poo poo )
3 Partial Skill Resets ( Worthless )
Steel Toolset Package (All Will be broken by the first day.)

In-game title ( gently caress No )
Family Name Reservation ( Eh )
Character Name Reservation ( Jack poo poo )
Head Start (24hrs) ( Ok I am fine with this )
1 Additional Character Slot ( I don't do multi characters )

The 50 Buck pack has the above plus:

quote:

48 Hour Head Start and assorted additions to the junk above.
Tier 3 Horse ( Useful but easy to get in game )
Horse Whistle (Permanent) ( Extremely Useful )
Pet of choice ( Junk )

Unique Weapon Skin ( Total utter poo poo )

That 50 Buck pack essentially has you paying an additional 20 bucks to play the game one day earlier than the other pack and a horse whistle. The T3 Horse can be roped in game at your own pace and there starting quest chain gives you a free donkey and a free T1 Horse.

Now if you are a complete loving moron you will give them DOUBLE that and make it a cool 100 cheese and with that you get

quote:

All the garbage above
4 Day Head Start
Tier 5 Horse
Some cash shop currency (25$ worth)
The worst looking costume in the game

Which amounts to loving nothing after the game has been out for a few weeks. The cash shop costumes all look better than the preorder poo poo one and the whole deal amounts to no where close to being worth 50 bucks.

Get the 30 Dollar Pack if you have played in the closed beta or watched some streams and think this poo poo is your jam. If not just sit in MMOHMO when the game comes out and snag someone's guest pass.

Ok, so I DID create them on the right server after all, and got boned by this stupidity. I thought I was either retarded (still might be by going 100 deep on this) or deliriously tired and missing something.

Edit: Nevermind, now my characters are on Uno for some reason. What the crap. I can't even access the Uno servers without getting "Connection Failed"
