Hey Strake...

Just to satisfy my own curiosity: did you ever actually have any kind of formal/high level interactions with Turbine/SSG over this site, or do they just not give a shit? I can't imagine it was the only DDO fan site with a forum back in the day.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

I have heard plenty of rumors of there being grumblings at Turbine, so I don't think we can say they didn't give a shit, but they've certainly never contacted me in any official capacity. I exchanged a couple of PMs with Tarrant (a mod that preceded Jerry) regarding the Vault, that's about it.

That's kinds what I figured. Just curious Tongue Every game has fansites with seperate forums. Hell I even ran one for DnL a brazillion years ago. That said its not like you, specifically, have done anything wrong.

Go to the mobos and try to make a post referring directly to the vault by name or say "Hi Welcome" and their awareness and attitude becomes very obvious.

Whatever you do, don’t mention their shitty customer service or Fat Jerry will literally shit his already-skidmarked Thor underoos from swinging his ban hammer so hard.

you don't need to mention much, just a Hi Welcome or an overall general mention of DDOVault.com ( in passing, without any details ). will get you at  least an automatic warning ( if Jerry is in a good day ), an Infraction ( if he's not in a good day ), or a forum ban ( if he's in a foul mood ).

Whjy do you think most of us have stopped posting on the main forum outside of using throwaway socks ?

I never post anywhere without a throw-away sock. And I change my socks regularly.

It depends really. The Vault gets mentioned in veiled expressions now and then and nothing happens. Same with comments on Customer Supports. If you don't curse them out with choice words they let it slide.

I got an infraction for talking about the time a GM was harrassing me in game and still kept his job, because apparently recounting a thing that happened is an "accusation". In general its fine to say "the customer support is very bad" but when you start bringing up specific examples of just HOW bad that crosses the line.

I've never tried it but yes apparently you can get banned for "Hi welcome", funny shit.

The vault gets mentioned as "the other forum" all the time, I believe it was very early in my DDO career it was someone on voice chat(too afraid to mention it in text) in-game who told me about "the vault". Took some digging to actually find it.

Anyway, I had been curious if, with the vault being so reviled, if that earned you a phone call or something. Doesn't seem to be the case. Ah well Tongue

They were going to sue me, but they put Kistilan in charge of that, so....

Several people have. Its a bannable offense. Made even funnier because Lyn has done it.

I think you might have drastically over-estimated how much anyone cares.

I don't know.  Judging by some trolls here, they seem to care a lot!   Cheesy

Either way, I'm happy to let them waste their time.   Roll Eyes
