Funny the moment Eden Eternal servers start dropping in popularity this game suddenly geds on the map again :P

Anyways I'm done with Aeria after EE and it's on top of my never again list
No matter how cool the game, it's like playing in a perfect world ruled by complete retards that have the power to nuke you any time
Which they don't mind showing off just to prove they can

Community was the least of my problem, that's what you got the guild for

I love the people that joined our guild and made it a nice community for ourselves, who cares how crap the other community is if you have 150 members that you can enjoy playing the game with

Aeria itself is the problem...

Random bans
Immature GMs
GS/GMs that troll you
Totally wrong way of prioritizing things
Cash shop heavy content releases
CS being a huge gamble with retarded rates

Like I said Aeria is full of crap and I'm done with them even if they release the best mmo ever

I signed up the day it opened up signups. Hoping this will be good.

GS troll train (aka, you got a problem they want to keep hidden, you get outspammed by 5 GS at the same time and get warnings in return as if you'r the troll)

Lead GMs you make me laugh Neo, it's half their actual GM staff that fails, lead and normal so no the problem is the whole bunch of em, I don't care that they have some good GMs they sure have a few, but when the ones that you can get hold of the most are the worst ones out there, it's a huge problem (the really higher ups that actually have brains have 95% of possible ways to contact them turned off)

As for the gambling CS, it's not a personal thing, it's Aeria thing...
They release boxes with 1 good item in it and 500 crappy items in the same box, and make the chance to get that 1 item below 1%
They release these boxes not on a weekly basis but almost on a daily one and imo it's one of the lowest form of cash shop whoring (this one is a personal view, the % chance aren't)

I'm done with Aeria thank you

that why i mention before aeria cost me the most money when we played smt last time ^^

but ya their business model make u spend.and they do mass ban when they think it can help.

the last few times i log in smt long ago.the aeria gms mass ban everyone who bought stuff in game from a few cash shop sellers who turn out to have used fraud credit cards lol.the fraud seller in turn sell the cash item in game for game cash to a lot a lot of players in order to mask their trail.they did not expect aeria to just mass ban everyone who been in contact with them in game hehe.so to catch a few thieves aeria kill a bunch of innocent civilians ^_^



too bad that time a few top rank members in our guild was ban for buying the fraud seller cash items in game using game coins since he was selling in central of the town.aeria does not care even if they are good cash item buyers or not.they just want to punish the thieves that cheated them heh

Shu your last line is what I'm talking about

They'r so fckin retarded that they don't think of the consequences or think their actions through, they just handle.

This includes GMs and GSes (the only decently capable ones r higher ups which just cash the money, rather then bother)

They threat, without thinking
They make you out for a lier/troll just because you don't have evidence to show 24/7 of what you'r talking about
They hide bad facts, and moderate their forum 24/7 so their deeds never show on their own forum (yet they don't have a GM team working 24/7 on a mmo LOL (99% of their GM's work shifts 10am ~ 5pm 5 days a week)

They'r just cancer of the mmo companies

It's sad, This is why we really just need good P2P mmo's.

the f2p boat is being run by people like aeria :/

p2p mmo usually end up cheaper lol

but yeah some f2p games is still fun to play...while it lasted ^^

and this game does look pretty decent like what neo say.so as long u are careful of aeria i think its still a game to consider to play.we have to think of the people who is more f2p based and those that aim short to mid term

Oh I do agree LO to be a good game
And I'd recommend the game for sure

But be warned of Aeria and if you'r not sure if you should or shouldn't try it out, then just don't

Well, as long as my interest seems to last, I've not stuck with anything since SMT myself, that's Aeria realted.

Yeah, i mean i sympathize with people that have had run-in's with Aeria, granted i guess i most be completely ignorant to the true monster Snow had out-lined Aeria to be, i mean i believe him, i just haven't seen any of it yet - then again i haven't really played a Aeria game heavily since SMT so all i can do is take people's word for it.

But i take comfort in the following facts: The powers that be which is SIRIUS have an over-all say in what they would like to see in a Cashshop, they also have an over-all say in how they want a publisher to market their game, so with that i guess i am being hopeful they are willing to compromise with the players on how far to go with the "Pay to win" margin, I'm not at all worried about a company wanting to make money, and as long as it's not on the PWE Greedy-piggy-oink-oink Level of Cashshop; then i am happy.

I try not to think of a game I've been watching out for since 2008 as a product of possible failure just because it's being published by someone i don't fully agree with, even i can say that Aeria has a extremely split community as they have such a large amount of games people are playing, so i guess you get every type of personality mixed in, not all of them being the greatest.
=================================================


So i have high hopes for this game, and for the Lolicon fans: i hope you're ready for some screenshots of a mysterious girl that seems to being Loli-ing it up!

Well here's the deal

Aeria servers run smoothly after the initial launch hiccups and if you stay with the guild without having to bother about most of the community, then there's no problem that 90% of the community r retards.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's once you run into any kind of problem that you'r screwed, and here's the problem
Running into a problem doesn't mean that it has necessary to do with you (bam random ban in your face)

Double exp event? Channel 1 crashes all people stuck in that crash can't log in till GM restarts the channel. (sounds like a thing that can happen to anyone right? Well for Aeria it happens 4 weeks in a row during each double exp event, before they just stop the event, rather then fix it) If you try to talk to a GM/GS about a solution, you get ignored/trolled/warned. Yet at the same time they can all keep shouting "Do not talk in all caps" over n over.

GM have no brain at all and do not think just act. A GM monitoring the shout-box can't see the humor in "THIS IS TYPED IN ALL SHIFT instead of caps" phrase and goes all hostile right away throwing ban warnings, even though it's exactly fitting humor for their community, and they all had to lol.

Saying "go watch some porn" gets you banned for filter dodging, because they were too retarded to actually filter porn in shout-box.

Did I tell you about the random ban? Well not only r the GMs stupid enough to run an auto ban program without any human control they set it up to check for wrong things too.

Now they do promise to get your ban ticket solved within 2 days, but the GMs are not even capable to read (they got a form for ban appeals, yet they can't follow it themselves) so instead of 2 days it takes them 100 hours from the initial ban appeal ticket to get you unbanned.

Not only did they fail there, in fact they make you out for a troll for wanting a guild leader account (which has to actually be active to run guild town, so a whole guild gets screwed not just the account and that while the leader shouldn't be banned in the 1st place since nothing was wrong) to be unbanned after it's been over 2 days already, while they r unbanning random chat box spammers that just spam their ticket over n over.

Not only do they fail at all that, they actually go and try to cover it up. Suddenly after setting up fail settings on the ban they start shouting in game how they ban over 6000 gold seller accounts weekly, and how they'r doing such an awesome job on their bans rofl...

Speaking of jobs, which mmo publisher of any decent size doesn't have a 24/7 GM work shifts? That's right Aeria GM's have shifts from 10am to 5pm it seems and guess what 5 days a week. There does seem to be a random GM popping up at an off time, to tell us that it isn't his work shift and that he's not working trolololol

If you try to talk about their failure on their forum in a (non)constructive way your posts get removed within 30sec ~ 2 min period.
On top of that longer threads get monitored, and edited so that they turn out to be pro Aeria, with bad posts being removed or changed.

If you try to point out a problem that's happening in game to 5 GSes on the shoutbox you get pointed out that that isn't the place to do so and warned that any further discussion will get you banned... lol

And the list goes on with tons more minor/bigger issues which despite there always being a swarm of GS/GM you can't discuss and they never get fixed

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All with all, if you play Aeria

- Stay away from the cash shop (and especially anything that has chances)
- Keep your chat to guild chat only
- Stay away from their website/forum/shout-box
- Make a new account, with a unique name/pass
- Pray they don't fail their auto-ban system again

PS: that loli thing is adorable Neo, till I saw that freaky tail

Aeria Games' new Lime Odyssey
MMO has been in the works for a while now. We first caught wind of the
free-to-play fantasy game in late 2010, and since then news pickings
have been rather slim.

Now, though, Aeria has ponied up a press release that adds a few more
details into the mix (including a new website as well as a trailer
comprised of the game's opening cinematic). Lime Odyssey: The Chronicles of Orta
will feature three races -- Humans, Turga, and Muris -- as well as
three adventuring and three crafting classes. Players may choose from
traditional Thief, Mage, or Warrior archetypes for the former and
Tailor, Chef, and Blacksmith disciplines for the latter.

Gameplay revolves around the collection of a sacred substance known as
lime, and players will "traverse mountains, deserts, and oceans on [a]
quest for peace and harmony (while killing lots of mobs, of course). Hit
the jump for the cinematic.
