Hi i'm a long time fan of Escapist and i have no idea if this is the right section to post this, but this isn't obvious a "Love" of City of heroes, Is me trying to keep the good Money spending Gamer, away from the Biast game known as "City of heroes" a place where everything goes wrong.
If your like me you enjoy the good old Roleplay, whats better than Roleplaying a villian right? i've always enjoyed being the villian, And COH does enforce a Wonderful selection of clothing, over half you have to buy in VERY large amounts (One piece of clothing is worth $5..and its just a Coat.)
Now allow me to get to the reason Why you should stay away from COH.
The reason why i have called it City of Biast is because I have recently just read the terms and such over the game and i just can't help but face palm over the Money sucking Trap they have lead me in.
Many of you would know RPG's have their trolls, So you can RP being the most badass Villian ever, you'll still get some Loon named "Old man Bob" running up to you and saying something retarded (Hes been banned 3 times..and he still pays to play an idiot...Good god the children of the future suck BALLS.)
A rule of NCsoft basicly says "You may not Threaten, Give unwanted attention to.." Can't remember the rest but its basicly what you'd call "Harrass". The amount of harrassing thats been going on, It surprises me to No end. even in their Support they have a little dot you can click that reads "Harrassment" And if you send it away 30min later you may get an -email- Telling you nothing could be done, or the players could not be found (Wonder why..) If you are lucky enough to even GET an admin, their response is tipicly "Who is it, Login name? We'll look into it.". From what i am told from the community there, Admins don't do anything in terms of harrassment, They expect -us- to do the work for them, EG: Use ignore. IGNORE does not stop everyone.
A second rule of NCsoft, No using Sexual Language of any kind anywhere within the game _> And yet- Check the common chat, nearly everyone swears. So What the hell does this admin team do all day. If they are being PAID, and i was there boss, i'd want them fired. I'd prefer admins that Cyber than admins that do Nothing but take a paycheque.They have a profanity Filter and an option to turn it off, but they don't want to swear...So its like they are setting players Up to be Suspended -_-
Now to the main point of my anger towards this game and WHY you should stay away from it, The above was just so you can understand the game and how you'll be treated (like an idiot basicly. Unless your level 50. then you'll be treated like a noob unless some friends are "Long time gamers")
Two nights ago i was RPing in the D club (The hotspot of RP basicly) i was standing at the bar playing out my character (A down to core ***** pritty much who thought she owned everything.) And a player walks up to me, a quick read of her profile tells me shes RP experienced her IC race "Ogre" A little new but mmk. She Immediately starts Enforcing her characters lore onto my character and when she realises i won't Accept it, she walks off to the corner of the room with her friends and starts PMing me, Treating me like a complete noob who doesn't know what "Godmodding" is. (She clearly didn't.). I quickly place her on Ignore once i have had my say and get back to RPing with my friends (Dragonkin clan ftw.) The next day i get on and i am Rping with my friends to the side of the D bar and i see a Dragonkin walk in, I was excited to see another possible member for my clan....until i read his profile and his name slowly...His name was a Male version + mockery of my Characters name (Mine: Queen Pythina. His: Lord Pythionusthemom) His profile read "The First Dragon EVA" i quickly put him on ignore and i tried rping but what he was saying to them clearly bothered me when the conversation went to "mating". I seen Another dragonkin walk in, same attire as the first, Lord-something and his Info was basicly the same. I knew who the hell sent them so i quickly checked the bar, Immediately i seen the Ogre girl from the night before standing in the centre of D looking towards me as if to say "Whatupbitch" I quickly Typed out a support thread and sent it to harrassment, and i ignore the Dragonkinnoobs until they get bored and logged onto their original characters, which, surprise surprise, were ogres as well. (NEVER Feed the Troll. or in this case, ogre.) I am logging out for the day getting bored and wanting to play something different so i check my emails quickly, i see i got two from the admining staff of COH. First: "we could not find The two you reported, are you sure you got there names right?" So obviously they deleted their characters after.
The second email read: "Dear Trixie, We have given your account a 72 hour Suspension for Sexual language." it then listed some examples One was given to the two trolls in Local chat (Which the admin could have used to Ban them as well) And the others were all private chats to my friends.
All in all I have had enough of this game and its trolls, they have lost a player and i hope they lose alot more than when TOR comes out. I am trying desperately to get my money back to play WOW atleast, cause they have an admin system that WORKS time to time.
Checking the Refund policy they do not give refunds blahblahblah Sueing action blahblahblah. But the way they have written the rules pritty much contradicts the game itself so I'm still going to fight hard for my money.
Thanks for reading and stay away from COH if you want a good time, You'll spend alot of money on some shiney stuff, and then get trolled half the time by some idiot.
