    I didn't get the 30 days free offer in e-mail either, and I also can't see it on my account page. I'm not complaining or anything, after all it's not like we're entitled to free stuff, but y'know, a free month on my frozen acc would really make this dark and cold winter more tolerable...

    Technically, a frozen account is still an active account, usable game time or not.

    Oh, that made me look again to my account page. While I got email about free 30 days to my main account the actual free 30 days is on totally empty sub account that I once created to be my 3rd paid account but deleted all toons from it after first month. Makes sense! Give free game time to empty account but not to any of the ones with toons on them! And that is somehow supposed to lure me in.... Ok, so now I understand what they did. I guess I might as well take org mate's offer and try Wow for a month instead of giving AO another chance.

    I don't see the distinction. It says "Account status Frozen (Cancelled)" I also don't see a "proper" way to suspend/cancel my subscription, I can only change the subscription cycle and reattempt the last failed payment. I guess it's possible that accounts frozen because of a failed payment don't get the offer while accounts voluntarily suspended do, but I don't see the reason for it, unless it's an oversight.

    Canceling is on the page with changing the recurring method. This stops any future and/or current pending payments from going through. And is pretty much a "no longer active" account.

    Frozen means that either a pending payment is taking too long, a payment failed, and is reattempting, or its trying to bill but has no billing information to use. A frozen account is temporary, and will automatically unfreeze when payment is approved, or usable billing information is added to the account.

    And course, you can't log into the game when it's frozen. you can log into the game with a canceled account so long theres still game time, though.

    Basically it allows holes to be created in the square ground height map.
    Or allows the edge to be non-square.

    It's actually surprising how few games use this.

    It's most used in SL where the playfields edges aren't straight.
    And where some endless holes have been poked into the ground.

    I have a huge request to FC Devs, and its very important for most of us:

    Please make Invisible walls NOT FORCING Cam view.

    Recently I was doing Sheol quests. Learned a lot about Sheol geography, and lerned that if you walk in wrong place, you cant see a ****, cause there are plenty of invisible walls unalowing you to jump/walk (some intended, like in piramid, some no like like rocks that are, but are not...) But moving camera in 3rd PP or character itself forces camera to stick to character, almost like 1stPP and there is no way to look around to find solution of how the hell exit place u are now.
    I like PvP
    TL6: Tereshkova 200 eng / Patrollerz 200 sol / Tankietka 200 NM enf / Pielegniarka 200 Tank Doc / Oleska 200 SOLIKeep
    TL5: Miazga 150 sol / Piknababa 150 NM Enf 2he / Gigantika 150 NM Enf / Malutki 150 Enf Trox WIP
    TL4: Ladyrazor 112 fixer (retired) / Shha 100 NT / Cycolina lvl 100 NM Enforcer
    + Tons of other chars...
    I make weird TwInkz!

    Last time i cancelled my account, it got locked even if I had more than 9 months again to play. Given that the cancelling does not work flawlessly, Id rather let the account freeze and secure the full playtime (I had to send a support message to get the account reopended, and I did not even get the 2 days that it was accidentally locked, given back). Having said that, I can see no option on the payment system once the account IS frozen, to change it to cancelled. So, should I resub 1 month to get to cancel my account so that I can get free months..

    After more than 6 straight years of payments I will not. As much as I respect the different definitions that you display, I still find it to be a weak excuse. If you really wanted to, there are ways to program a solution. Both for frozen and for cancelled.

    If FC would say that frozen accounts are not worth giving a chance of free periods because [insert valid argument here] Id respect that. Coming out and putting the cause on the payment system is simply too weak an argument.

    But hey, I dropped out of AO anyway, so dont make it a big deal.

    The instance in itself is great, as for the more devious ways of getting to the final boss you mentioned, that was fixed shortly after release.
    I did 18 hours of legitimate raiding there, 18 hours non-stop. I earned quite a few billions doing just that alone. Even had a BoC drop for my soldier.

    The problem was GoC's dropping left and right, amongst other things. I made a thread about the loot table, said thread grew quite large. Followed by a subsequent loot table fix, and changes to the final boss.

    As far as I understand FC did not put "new" items into the instance, as they did not want to create items that would alter the balance of TL7 mechanincs, while working on the entire rebalance of all professions.
    That being said there is no reason why FC would not be able to change the loot dropping there, after rebalance. Thus making it a meaningful place to go raid again.

    I have accounts that are frozen due to failed payment, deleted payment option and cancelled. The only one that got e-mail is the one that is not supposed to get one if I understand correctly your statment. One of my deleted payment options account got mail other didn't and cancelled and failed payment didn't. Totally random.

    Electronite: FFA also destroyed Clan hegemony when it comes to tower wars. Ironically the downfall was started by the most active pvpers. Another ironic thing is that the downfall happened due to pvm conflict. Silirrion: (We have pretty good anti-troll filters by now though) Means: Thong-wearing troxes will always be a part of this game and a point of AO pride. Keldros: Obviously reall trolls don't use conditioner Marlark: If this forum was Swedish in it's language .. id pawn you any day. 220 NT: tl7 is a joke most of the time. 90% of the people are double double dead. some are worth debuffing tho. Mastablasta: you guys are right and I'm wrong. Ebag: No. You alpha me'd due to the stat bug. More Ebag: I don't have any twinks currently, nor do I participate much in mass TL7 PvP (though I do go occasionally, usually just to watch). Questra: an MP in sneak eNSDed me and did about 20k damage in 10-12 seconds

    That's not walls, then, that's "a ****". Actually, this game does lack visible "a ****".

    TBH, the e-mail I got, actually has "klodovik" included in the url.

    However, when I log in, only he doesn't have that link on the upper left corner that offers 30 free days (it offers me some crappy hardware-hungry game that I already have though, at discount - yay).

    I will wait until they fix scrolling problems and stuff.
