We'll make sure to look into this issue as a team. As to the Valentine's Day event- you will soon have more events posted than you can shake a stick at, including an event for those lovers (and haters!) of Valentine's Day.

The good thing was ingame events that begin before the date celebrated, halloween begins in mid-October for example

  Thursday is 14 and we could not enjoy the event as in years past.

not bring yourself to be pm Obspho ?
not substitute stratos, but being a second pm, other games have two, maybe a lot of work and can not do it alone.

no patch notes for the second week now? FAIL patch notes were always kinda "n00b" in LC since there was no aproximate time how long the servers will be down or anything but at least we got told what was being done... most other games got aproximate times idk 5pm-7pm or something then if it takes longer the thread is updated and players are told like idk we had some issues so the server down time will be longer for about an hr or what ever... idk is that really so hard to do? but lately we havent even got the what's been done part of the patch notes... i doubt stratos is that busy and even if he is some other GM could post patch notes it takes like 2 minutes to do... cmon be serious pls hope we get patch notes next week at least

At the risk of major flammage, patch notes should be given when there is a patch.

There has been some slacking in the patch notes department in the last few months, I am not saying there hasn't, but when there's nothing patched in, there's no need for PATCH notes. If you are expecting a post in the patch notes thread simply saying "we didn't add any patches, we just did normal server maintenance" you may not get it, as its not necessary.

We were, however, expecting some item mall things to be released as promised but they still have not been. Personally, I would like to see some explanation as to why it isn't happening. I do not agree with "presenting" an item to us that we are never able to use because it isn't sold anywhere. If the intention is to never sell the item then don't tell us about them...

if there is no patch they dont post patch notes nothing to report and last week they fixed a problem with the left shift key thats not a patch and they informed us of it had you been paying attention and if you ever want to know what files are in your machine keep it clean and defragged then you see patch go in defrag you can see file names get moved and thats all we need to know if they want us to know something they tell us if they dont use brain to look if your so curious all your gonna see is a few files being moved nothing major and nothing patch note worthy and give them time they may still be writeing it or selecting content they may be waiting just like us for all we know. secretly replaces all the fighter weapons with plus 15 rubber chickens...

Defragging tells you the name of the new files...

Mommy, i learned something on the internet today!!!!!

Erraticats absence is felt dearly.

I remember a time when there was like 7 gms and a active pm . even then this game wasent as good as it could have been but the gm TEAM cared and werent lazy.

I remember meeting the hammer for my posts on forum at least back then someone read the forums and responded even if it was with the hammer xD ! its good to see a gm actually responded to this thread but not enough not even close .

Good old days right ?

If ppl can't tell that this new team of DLO, Medic and Obspho care about this game and are doing things to turn it around, despite whatever negative opinions there are of Stratos' management of the game, then I just don't know what to say. Obs and Medic especially have been all over the place, forums, shoutbox, game, events, most tickets are being answered in record time, etc. That seems pretty caring and NOT lazy to me. The GM's and what they do have nothing to do with what Stratos does or doesn't do. PM and GM are two very different positions. If you're not seeing the answer you want at least point the blame in the right direction.

Completely true, I have seen more from Obs, medic and DLO taking to community, interacting in sb and ingame than I have ever seen from any other gm period over the half dozen years I played this game. Obspho is constantly in shoutbox, helping players out, answering questions, creating events and even ingame horsing around with people.

Medic has been ingame quite a bit, fun person to talk to, and generally has a very good attitude.

DLO tries hard to turn this game around, talks in sb and ingame and I have even seen them own up a mistake in shoutbox when they screwed up pet exp for an event, they were communicating with players and let pet exp run for even longer than normal to make up for the first half an hour of it not working.


All 3 GM have done an amazing job for this game and community and are doing everything in their power to make the game a more fun and enjoyable place for gamers. If there is a problem with management of game(patch notes, releasing items ect) , its completely unrelated to GM's in most cases, there is only so much they can do and for problems relating in this thread, complaints should be focused at stratos instead of the GM's.

I saw my first GM in game in months. I am pleased. I am ok if the head GM doesn't make it into the game as long as the other do.

Yes I know this a little off topic so sorry. However I agree.

I can see this new team of GMs making some real efforts. If it continues as it has been started I will be pleased.

Although I still think, in my opinion, some here (not all) have been over harsh in their comments re Stratos, as someone else said here lets point the finger at the right person.

Yes I would like to see the patch notes kept up to date. I do go check them first thing when I wake up after maintenance in case there is anything important I should know. I also do agree it does not take much time to post. I also think it is quite important if there is an obvious reasonable size patch to have something posted, whether it says just back end changes or otherwise. The ideal place for example last week to update us that the left shift key issue was fixed. This past week announcing that the in game shop issue was fixed. Just really keeping us informed.

I do think the patch notes are an important information point for many, even if it is boring stuff. I personally dont care if I see backend changes. Just I would also like to see anything fixed or any important changes listed.

There have been a few gaps lately, so please Stratos if you are reading this take on board that this is an important thread for the community and I would appreciate more effort made to keep it up to date.

PS Unless of course you have been unwell, then in that case someone else should step in.
Thanks.
