SUSPENDED, You Too May Be

Day 1,488, 13:23 • Published in Canada Canada • by davidjonestoo



Well, here goes. I have never written an article before, but because of my suspension for 3 days, I feel compelled.
This may be long for some of you but please try to read and shout this article. If you don’t feel so inclined to read it all, please subscribe as it cost 2 gold to create this paper and I would at least like to get my gold back with MM medal. I probably won’t write another one so I would like to think I got something from Admins for my gold.

I will give more personal info than I usually do so that you know that I at least know what I am talking about.

Most of you outside of CC probably don’t even know me as I am not in the fore-front of anything. I am however, older than most of the players you do know (Jan 15/09), Rolo Feb 2/09, TemujinBC Aug 29/09, Jacobi Feb 12/09, Rylde May 20/09, and number 1 ranked citizen in Canada, Fritzhill Oct 19/10. I am probably older in RL than a lot too. I am ranked 51 in Canada, experience level 34, and military rank National Force. I HAD 299 days in a row worked, now I have 1.

In RL I own an export business that exports to the USA and to Europe. These people I just mentioned are Erep Bro’s and I have respect for them all, yes all. For the most part, all of them have helped me progress through this game, and still are in some cases. Why do I bring that up; I don’t have any problem with some one getting further ahead than me, not my style. There are those playing this game that know me in RL and could vouch for me in saying that. These people choose to spend RL dollars to play this GAME, it’s not that they have more RL dollars than me, but they choose to spend more than me.

In the business world, you may not like competition, but in reality it is healthy for your business. It makes you do things BETTER than the next guy. It makes you be more HONEST in your business dealings. It encourages you to do the extra little bit to make sure your PAYING customers are happy, the last thing that you want is unhappy customers, it makes them go looking for another supplier who may give them what they want.

Admins of this game should wake up before it is too late. The only reason people are creating mirror web games of Erep is because so many people are tired of the crap and tired of not being listened to. This is a free world and people can create a new game if they like. If the one you are playing pleases you, you are not going elsewhere. I went to have a look at a new game and posted a link to it on Erep, and got a 3 day ban. The following is a copy of the conversation between myself and Erep:

Sent on 14 December 2011

You appealed on 1,485 day of the New World.

Reading this, if I didn’t tell you what happened, would you know? I asked for an explanation and they would not even give me one.

Again, I live in a free country and maybe the Admins don’t, but they should realize that they are going to have more and more new games come out as competition if they don’t start using their heads a little more.

In closing, in my opinion my only “violation” was that I don’t spend ENOUGH RL dollars to keep the Admins happy.

Thanks for letting me rant. I don’t care if you vote but please sub, it’s the only satisfaction I will get.
