I'll just echo this, keep it to the minimum please, this should be a happy thread full of laughs at idiots who don't take good advice to get a refund, not excessive detail about the absolute worst examples of humanity, even if the two do overlap somewhat at times.

Ashes of Creation is definitely not a scam, because let me tell you about this block buster success called Star Citizen

Yea I vote we not mention the gross pedo again itt. He designed a stupid spaceship jpg. It sounds like justice is being done and I don't wanna read about it again and again. This is a happy positive thread.

It's actually nice to see the A.I fighting the physics simulation. The derps feel more real than having the NPCs fly perfectly all the time. In some of those examples you can see that an external force changed their path and the time needed to correct it wasn't enough.

Yeah that's definitely Zecumbe. Same writing style, grammar, vocabulary, all of it. The only bit missing is his "Gently Caress Off Goonie TM"

That referral system smells so fishy I almost expect Beet wagon to defend it

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:

Hey guys! I have read some of the posts about our referral program, as well as concern over my income from Multi-Level Marketing. I am personally one who strongly believes in transparency and want to be as involved in the community as possible! So I will give some input to this discussion. When I was 15 I started a Marketing business, trying to sell nutritional drinks using commercials on AM talk radio stations. This became very successful very quick, and when I turned 18 I decided to start working for a company called XanGo. I wasn't the "CEO" of XanGo as some people are saying, nor did I help create the company... I was just a normal sign up, and I created a website that, I used my marketing company to help promote and sell their juice and vitamins with.. By the time I was 20, I was selling a lot of the juice and vitamins, and rose to be one of the top sellers of the company. About 7 years ago I moved into investments and real estate, which is the source of a majority of my success. Many people consider the MLM industry to be a pyramid scheme, but there are actually good MLMs out there, that can provide people with good incomes. I was lucky to find a good one that had great products, and that allowed me at a young age to become successful enough to begin investing and buying real estate.

The referral program, is a system I designed for two purposes;

1. It is a way to promote organic growth, growth that capitlizes on the social nature of our gaming community. Many companies in the gaming industry must spend millions to promote their game on websites, emailing campaigns, facebook, banner ads, magazines, commercials etc... All of that money goes to media.. Media that doesn't care about the game, just wants to reach a bottom line for revenue (in my opinion). Meanwhile this money that is being spent, could have been used on developing the game! So I wanted to find a way, to break that mold. By focusing on the social bonds of our community.
   
2. Since I wanted to focus on using the community itself to drive growth for our game, it only seemed fair to share with the community in that growth. So I created a rewards system, that would allow for players to do 3 things; Play for free, Get unique virtual goods, and be rewarded with real cash. This stems from my desire to be inclusive in this development. If not for the referral program, this money would be going to corporations instead, and I just dont see why they should take something that the community is responsible for anyways!
   

Just to be clear.

Our referral system works the opposite of a pyramid. If you refer someone who spends $15 to play our game, you are rewarded with $2.25.

If they refer someone who spends $15 to play our game, they now only spend $12.75, which means you are now only rewarded with $1.91

This actually acts the opposite of a pyramid. And is not Multi-Level Marketing, because by definition it is only a single level.

Hope this clears this up for many of you, I am happy to chat more about any questions you have

Most importantly please remember, Ashes of Creation is a complete passion of mine, it is something I wake up and go to sleep thinking about non stop... My time as a gamer for 25 years is leading the designs in the game... Features I know resonate with so many others, and the team I have brought together can get it done, and done right.
