Merge 2018 Discussion Thread

    Quote from johocknut

    While I sympathize with those who've had issues etc and I'd certainly like to see everything resolved...I'm not going to read back in the thread but someone mentioned a solicitor or lawyer...i gotta think that maybe that wouldn't be wise. You might get your money back but at the same time I think that kind of move would probably bring ogame one step closer to an end. Same with twitter if this stuff becomes a bigger headache for GF than it already is GF could be just as likely to shut ogame down...never to be played again, then what?

    You sympathize with them but at the same time you said thay should shut up 'cause OGame may come to an end. :youcrazy:
    All of us should be happy that we have such persistent players who wants to fight against laziness of GF employees. Like Troll said: what if it was you?
    In recent years, the only important thing here is money...and that is sad.

    I pray for our fallen ally-member @Inferno AM ahead of time.


    I just hope it's not to late to pull the breaks on this @NoMoreAngel @Blankie @piink



    Money is only thing what GF cares about,who cares about if one player will not play his account again.Where is ogame app?I cant imagine that this game with all this players and money in it cant afford one simple application?I m really felling that who is in charge of this company doesnt know how to make more money or to how bring more people in it.In last 10 years we have less and less players every day not weeks or years,in 10 years GF constantly is making wrong moves.This last mistake was about how fast merge was done and why the merge needed to be done so quickly even if there was a time to done him later.What i dont understand yet that some things are not yet fixed after 2 months,clearly that piink isnt powerful enough to change some things alone but surely owners of GF can provide some update but as i said probably they dont care and thing goes nowhere.I think that even owners made this merge script just because they dont need to pay someone.

    At this point, it is turning into an abusive relationship. GF knocks us down for the hundredth time. Apologises, and promises never to do something like that again, only to repeat the process every few weeks.
    The real question is why do we still believe the apologies and the promises of improvement, instead of packing up all our shit and leaving without looking back?..

    Inferno is merged. Who else can we help?
    It's hard to locate the problems to be fixed with the 50 pages of spam, off-topic and hate posts towards the staff who are only trying to HELP.
    About 10 of you are dangerously close to warnings and bans but the team is being VERY lenient because we are being effected greatly by it ourselves. We have let you show the ugly without enforcing the board rules upon you - at least respect the kindness.
    You don't understand the work that goes into fixing all of the problems created from the merge. It created months of work for all of us, and if you are paying attention we have several less staff than we did prior to the merge script.
    None of which any of the team is responsible for, but we are the clean-up crew assigned to the task. On our own time when we're not working our jobs and spending time with our families. Keep the thread clean and as on-topic as possible so things are more efficient for everyone. It will expedite the process for us and you.

    At no point was I disrespectful, off topic, spammed or hated on anyone (Since this is a merge discussion post), so I'm sure that comment was not aimed at me.
    Do not assume no one knows the kind of work that goes behind the scenes. I actually do, hence all my points were valid.
    As you must understand, we are not all a bunch of 5 year old in school that don't understand how the world works.
    I for one also work in IT (I know, I have a real job. Mind blowing isn't it?) and know exactly the type of work required, but most importantly how to deal with end users. The first major step is communication, which let's be honest was sub par at points in time by certain members. Read certain, as there were some helpful ones as well.
    Not sure about your input previously (it's been a long thread, even though I read it all can't remember everyone's input), but your last 2 posts added nothing to the main post with your empty threats so maybe you should warn yourself instead of threatening the people that are actually trying to raise valid points.
    The time for dictatorship has been over for many years. Keep up with times. People are free to speak their minds as long as they remain respectful, which for the most part, everyone has been.
    I'm not having a go at you (maybe I am just a little), but my aim is to help you realise that your last 2 posts helped no one in any way and came across as someone that just wants to have a whinge because people are displeased with your work (your work as in GF not you personally)
    Anyway... Inferno has been merged after 2 whole months. Glad that part is over.
    Let's see what happens with the rest of the outstanding issues relating to this merge.

    Hatu give it a rest you guys LITERALLY SIGNED UP FOR THIS!! "waaa waaa the players are mean to me because Im incompetent at my job that I asked for"


    I really need to find a hobby and get away from this dreadful game and its fascist bureaucratic board moderation and completely incompetent support system


    merges used to be fun and looked forward to now they are just unneeded stress, if Zibal ever gets merged Im just clicking delete and walking away, at least theres no DM on that account for GF to steal

    Over modded boards for a “video game”


    Glad inferno got merged finally. Community not allowed to be upset by the product being served or you will get warned. I wonder how every other gaming forums operates.


    There definately is t a bunch of volunteers running around puffing their chests out.
    No one is being offensive other than to the company that is producing an unsatisfactory game at this point.

    Point 1 - Hallelujah. Noone is happier then Inferno. You should focus on that


    Point 2. Is this the type of message that the ogame.org staff wants to send out to it's user base? That you are considering it a courtesy and a favour to us that we get to post facts and discuss on-topic matters on a public board? I am extremely worried if this message is supported by the entire staff and something that Gameforge officials back up.


    If you want to run a board where you don't want your user base to bring matters into light and expect some kind of response, you Will have no users on your board.


    I am out of this discussion now as I have nothing else to contribute to the merge discussions. I leave you with a warning @Hatu as a former Board-admin on ogame.se that this statement you made is far beyond OK. I certainly hope that corrective actions are taken by the BA's in here.

    must say its good to see infernoAM been merged, i am also hoping that he gets some kind of compensation for waiting so long? since merge i have made around 20bil res lol


    also i will ask this here as it is a merge thing


    inactives came out of vmode y.day, all of them that came out vmode had all their storage full of res, i understand GF did this deliberately? if so thanks i made about 3bil res or so. if not, then thanks anyway because i still made 3bil res.


    but i do feel sad for the people who didn't have time to take advantage of this? its hard for whole community to be online at that specific time and ready for these inactive raidings? i am fortunate and had res/ships in most gals and was able to farm alot of places

    give @piink a break. they have been working hard at all this. just be glad it wasnt the other COMA before her.....she actually replies....I didnt even know who the other COMA was :whistling:


    Think it was SUCO, a fellow who displayed a lot of attention to arising issues in the tickets, as an example, I remember him asking GF techs to transfer one of my accounts into post-merged destination uni 3 weeks after the whole process has concluded (experienced e-mail reception difficulties upon address change on my side), and, in addition to this, the account didn't even have a destination Uni selected while merging activities proceeded in the first place. :)


    And, the outcome of our communication was a successful account relocation, on the 28th of April 2016, a date interesting to compare with the ones noted in that merge's initial schedule. :)

    Totally agree with IMPROVE first time for everything I suppose. I personally took full advantage of the full storage on the inactives but how can this be fair towards the people who where at work/sleeping.


    of course we could argue what about when that person idles or falls asleep we were at work and did not get to hit them and someone else did but come on this was insane profit and enabling only some is kinda whack!


    dont go trying to take it back hahaha

    @piink again i see players out from vmode and its showing that they are inactive with big (I),last week at Quantum i noticed Eddard.Today at another uni ,i sent the ticket on the support,i hope that problem with a bug will be solved soon.
