    As someone who handles customer support myself and also Community Manager responsibilities elsewhere, I both understand the player side of things, and the company side of things.


    The first thing you have to remember is that most Community Managers are just a voice of the company. They don't make the decisions, and most of the time they don't even have a say in anything. The most they do is suggest your ideas to the team, and then (usually) give you guys the team's feedback.They're just the messenger, and in turn, they are (unfortunately) meat shields. They're the ones who take the brunt of your complaints and usually you guys make it personal, even though it shouldn't be. It isn't a CM in particular that makes these plans, or comes up with these ideas. It's the Development Team, not the Community Team (i.e: Development Team would consist of Product Managers, etc.)


    When a Community Manager is silent, it usually means a few things;

    1. They have nothing to report, so they don't post on threads they either haven't responded to yet, or ones they've already posted on.
    2. There's internal discussions taking place, usually due to feedback from the community, bug reports, etc which need to take place prior to planning a Corrective Action Plan if applicable. (again, see Point 1.)
    3. Threads like your other one listed here where you're breaking the forum rules (and by your account previously, you've mentioned you've broken them time and time again because you mentioned warnings, etc.) and personally targeting one of the CMs and doing a call-out.


    In regards to "all Community Managers randomly close threads" you're actually just claiming it's random to fit your narrative when you know for a fact you've done wrong in some way or some form, and don't want to admit to it. If you're referring to the Thank you gameforge, thank you Krafton thread, Threea specifically locked it because the discussion ran it's course. She provided the solution (much to all of your dismay, folks) and closed the thread on a reiteration of her solution of what to do in current and future cases because it just dragged on and on. Just because you don't like that a CM closed a thread where you were all bashing them and the team as a whole and breaking the rules in the process doesn't mean you get to spin the narrative to fit your narrative. That isn't how this works.

    Moderators and Administrators in general (not just Community Managers) get "flak" for 'silencing people'. When in reality, 97% of all closed threads violate the rules laid out by the community in question, and when you violate them you subject yourself to the punishments as such, which maybe include locking of the thread, a warning (public if no built-in warning system exists, or private if they do exist), a temporary suspension, or a permanent ban, again depending on what community you're involved in and how their punishment system works. Again, you don't get to spin the narrative to fit your own just because you're upset your precious bashing thread got locked.


    I won't even try to explain how tackling and trying to bash every point under their job description is not only unnecessary but completely irrelevant, as they also have other responsibilities outside of those listed. They aren't free to roam the forum 24/7. Grow up and quit your bellyaching if you don't have any actual arguments to complain about.


    In regards to the Support complaints, I actually touched on this recently in "The game is unavailable for you. Please contact Suport" for those who may or may not know how the majority for support systems work, especially in regards to ticket systems, and I feel that most of that covers the complaints here. Sorry, I couldn't be bothered to read the rest of the bellyache of the thread.


    Point being; You have a right to be upset when you think you're being done wrong, and you should explain so in a calm manner. Explain why you feel the community is being done wrong and list out a constructive, exhaustive list of what you think is being done wrong, what's being done right, and what needs to change. Bashing people who don't even have control over half of what you're complaining about isn't going to solve anything, and will get you nowhere. Note the key word here is "constructive". If you're just saying "GameForge, you suck" that isn't exactly helpful to anyone, including yourself.



    TL;DR - Stop behaving like a child, and you'll stop being treated like one. Stop breaking the rules, and your threads won't have to be locked and you be warned or even banned. Etc, etc. I already put more effort than I originally intended into this thread and can't really bother anymore.

    Hello.


    Just in case, cause this happened to me when the servers first opened and I didn't have my characters either, can you take a look at the client and tell me if you recognize the content that is listed in this box?


    For me, because I did it wrong originally, they gave me a random name there, with letters and numbers, and I had to click on it, and under 'Game account' add my correct account.


    On the off-chance, could you attempt to re-add your Game Account? Make sure Game region is on NA still, and click 'Add game account'. Then make sure the next screen also says North America, and then provide your original email and password you used on the migration page from GameForge once you finished on EME's side, prior to getting the 'Migration successful' page after filling out their information.


    Let us know how that goes! If that doesn't help, I'd definitely shoot GameForge a message through a support ticket and ask them to help locate your account.

    It looks like most in the store are lootboxes, with a random item from that box (i.e: the 'Heroic Chest: Stylish Weapon Skins' is a lootbox, but inside it are 7 different possible Smartboxes you can get), so it looks like you're guaranteed the TYPE of item you want, but don't really have control over which ones.


    It seems mixed as 'bundles' (again, like Heroic Chest) and guaranteed items. Not sure how often they change, as it seems like there isn't many to choose from. :(

    Similar issue here, so I submitted a ticket to the support yesterday, together with all informations of what I tried to do to fix the issue and all the info that might have came to my mind.


    Got automatic response

    I never said nor suspected it to be actually hacked. But this makes me wonder if this response confirms that there has been massive data leak on the Gameforge side, including passwords, emails and personal data - they just said it might have been hacked, right? :)

    But ofc, I do get that it might only be template for this kind of issue (and just similar way of recovery). Yet, it really makes me wonder if anyone at the support side bothered to read all the informations I provided, perhaps to fix it in near future.

    Hey there.


    So the way support systems generally work is that you have 'gate guardians' who usually use scripts. These are bottom-of-the-line support people who don't really do anything other than filter out tickets that might be useless and a waste of time for the people above them, and then sort the rest for the people above them, aka 'specialists'. Those people don't handle issues directly, but rather offer suggestions on your basic common-sense issues that might be resolved due to user-error. If their troubleshooting doesn't fix it, you can respond and they usually will send the ticket to an appropriate person above them (and if they don't, you could always ask for an escalation of your ticket and case).


    In regards to the 'hacked' script response they provided, it sounds like they think it might have been either a hacker (unlikely since we just migrated), or an IP Change (Likely via VPN). If I recall, they should have mentioned something other than 'hacking' unless it was differing from their normal responses.

    If your ticket is still open, I would definitely respond and say "I don't think my account was hacked" (if they didn't provide anything other than 'hacked' as an explanation), and once again repeat (albeit re-word) your previous response. Give them as much information you can. If you're using a VPN, make sure to turn it off to try and access the game. Apparently GF's system is very trigger happy with VPNs and IP Changes, a lot more than EME's was.


    If there was a data breach on GF's side, they'd have legal obligations to let us know in less than a week's time once it was found out. I highly doubt there was any sort of data breach, as it seems a select few of you can't get in.


    If you guys don't mind me asking and just for my own mental collection, based on everyone having issues, how many of you are actually based here in the US? How many of you are based outside the US?


    It really seems to be a small select few of you having this issue, and that's also probably why GameForge's support staff are mainly throwing around script responses because they're not sure what's wrong either and I'm willing to bet it's part in due to the fact that several of you (see my "You can't bother contacting support" comment) probably didn't explain to the support staff that you used a VPN at any point, or reset your router, or changed IPs for whatever personal reason, and didn't provide all the information Support might find useful to help narrow down the problem.

    I already have more than 19 people who played perfectly this week and just now it doesn't work, this is only known, this ignoring 3 I saw on Facebook complaining and those who posted here in this topic. there are no excuses for this company's ineptitude

    Their ineptitude is why the rest of us were able to login, right? :/


    Gee, thanks Gameforge for being so inept that i was able to login after migration.


    Seriously; Either create a support account (as Gameforge has always had it), and get help, or quit your bellyaching and go somewhere else? You're not helping anyone who genuinely wants help (like OP) and you're taking their thread, hijacking it, and turning it into your own personal gripe-fest. Please, go elsewhere.

    There also seems to be an entry on GF's website;
    https://gameforge.com/ar-AE/pl…11-4d83-a88f-a6b421fcc031


    I can't get it to load, however I did get part of the website to load a cached version and this is what it says;


    I couldn't find any other information. Apparently they stopped offering this 10 days ago, and there's no source for "dreams" etc on TERA Lore or elsewhere.

    Hi there.


    Make sure when in the launcher, you're under the correct account you migrated. I also had this issue, and realized that I was not logged into the Launcher under the correct account.


    In the launcher, click 'Account Management' and make sure your account is listed there. If not, add it.

    Namely for Raederle, but anyone else who might have found this might be able to answer this, prior to me going to support about this, among other things.


    While they weren't smartboxes, I had some Adventure Coins that apparently didn't get a replacement during Transfer, and are now 'broken'. I don't want to waste any in testing, in case I can get them replaced.


    They are as follows;

    EDIT: Some of my potions are also broken;



    I wanted to ask in advance prior to sending in a ticket to support, to see if this was already aware of and going to be fixed, or if I should proceed to send in a ticket.


    Cheers!

    Per the FAQ;

    What happens to my TERA Rewards Levels?

    • The Rewards-System was an EME-unique system that is not available in any other TERA region. As such, it unfortunately won’t be possible to transfer any progress or status for this.

    • However, as a token of appreciation for players who have supported TERA for such a long time, players within the following level ranges will receive special one-time rewards:

    • Reward Tier 1-4: Exclusive Title, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
    • Reward Tier 5-8: Exclusive Title, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
    • Reward Tier 9: Exclusive Title, Skill Manual: Moon Lotus Aura, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera
    • Reward Tier 10: Exclusive Title, Skill Manual: Moon Lotus Aura, Smart Box: Azure Blue Yukata, Stamp: Kaleidoptera, Flying Skill: Ancient Tyflamosaurous Flex

    :!: Please note that these rewards will only be delivered whenever Build version 100 releases.

    Underlined and bolded.

    Here's a screenshot of me selling it to a normal merchant, and here's me selling it to a specialty merchant. You can see neither have anything in the "adjusted amount" tab, whereas other items do. Here's a screenshot of me selling another random item, and it shows 10 gold in the adjusted amount instead of 0.

    I would definitely check with support then just to see if there's a way they can help you get something for those. IIRC, they never removed the prices for the scrolls, so definitely shoot support a message, explain the situation that you're a returning player, and ask if there's anything they can do. :)

    So I kinda changed names when we migrated cause honestly my old handle I had changed months prior and just never got a chance to change my name on EME's side cause, well, you couldn't unless, I'm assuming, you asked one of the staff to do so for you. Either way, chances are you've probably seen me on the forums helping out, or in-game helping out as well.


    So anyways, I'm Naru2008 from the mEME side of things (now known as LevinSnakesRise). I'm known as Prince.Pluto in TERA, along with most of my alt characters having some form of "Pluto" involved (up until Elin Gunner released and I made one as a meme and named her "Bandwagon.Elin".

    I was (still sorta am) second in command of the Guild Aborea Beasts (now known as Untamed Beasts), used to be an officer in the Adorable Creatures guild prior to leaving.


    I'll continue to help with what I can here on the forums and I hope to see you guys around here and in-game. :) :beer: (except Beer is nasty, so pretend it's a really good Kentucky bourbon whiskey)

    Can someone please fix this::cursing: Why do i have to click "claim rewards" 40 times. then click a box again, then click another box "confirm" open "select" amount . then watch 40 boxes for the guardian missions open AND scroll pass on my screen for 20 mins:cursing: then you have to x out.... so far i had to click 5 different things to open something, we wanted less not more clicks. Claim rewards should just give u all the boxes at once. clicking the one box should just open them all or have something that says "amount to open" but i don't see the point, just open them. NOT more clicks LESS clicks. OH and while I'm ranting WTF is this i get a box, or pet reward and have to pick one of 4 options.. just give me the dang stuff.. i dont' want to guess or click on something else. LESS CLICKS!!!!! :cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing::cursing:

    Hello there.


    So this would not be something new specific to GameForge. This is Krafton's doing, and has been this way for a while.

    While I don't think there was ever enough testing done (for lack of steady testing environments) to see if selecting one of the 4 options in a "surprise box" actually means anything and that there is any sort of "lucky chance", you essentially are just praying to RNG.

    However, some semblance of there actually being multiple items up for grab at once is the constant changing of items, so while you might not like it, there's loot tables associated with these boxes, and therefor you have to "pick" your prizes at random (random, as you don't know what each box holds). You can't get all 4, hence why the game makes you pick one of the 4 the game picked out of the unknown amount of options from it's loot table.


    Pretty much; this is how all MMORPG's loot boxes work at the end of the day.

    I dismantled/sold most of the useless items, but I'm left with gamme instance reset scrolls which estimate the value at 1500 gold each, but when I go to a merchant it doesn't give me any gold. Is it a bug ? Also thanks for the weapon rework info, I'll look into it.

    Can you provide a screenshot of the merchant window with you placing the items in the merchant? Are you using a normal Item Merchant, or a Specialty Merchant, etc.?


    Though chances are you might have to contact Support and see if they'll assist you with trading the item(s) for gold, it wouldn't hurt to see if this is something very specific prior to sending in a ticket.
