Salutations,
I have been playing FoE for a very long time now, so while I have only made my way to the forums very few times, I find I now need to comment here as this implement changes everything for my game play past and present.
I have read all the posts here and I have had a long think on this, and it is just NOT okay.
Firstly, yes… INNO Games is a business and as all things in life change is inevitable.
However, in the business world there is a set standard or form of ethics that are followed. Most important of them are the legalities of all conduct and more so those that deal with monetary transfers. Now you INNO have your TOS in place and have not updated them in some time. You nullified or made GvG exempt from this set of laws governing your TOS when it comes to Guild VS Guild when you assured the entirety of your player base that you would not be doing away with it, but you would no longer be allocating any resources, time or fixes to this feature of the game. It has been just over a month now since you last stated GvG WILL remain a part of FOE. (Obviously I am in this 1%)
As you know you cannot in full or in part offer a good or service, tangible or intangible for monetary exchange then retract your part after collecting funds for that good or service.
My game play has been to build a city whereas I could create a guild that could sustain GvG and in doing this I had what I thought was security in investing in your company to achieve this. Only to find yesterdays’ Announcement via your in-game messaging system. I have put in somewhere around twenty thousand $20,000.00 USD + exchange tax.
My question then is, how long will it take you to process my due refund by means of your unlawful decision and business dealings?
I expect you will do rightful diligence in properly sorting all transfers of money. What was spent on city expansions, goods, GE attempts, GBG SC’s speed up and things of the like. Also, I know it is no fast or easy task to sort through what came from the auctions dealer and what was spent in diamonds in my inventory and city or what I won in your Events with and without diamonds. Moreover, assessing my good’s, Fp’s, coins, supply, and troops.
No, I do not wish for a game credit as you have lost my trust and security in any further investments in your company. You can reimburse my account you have on file.
As for the new Guild Raid application ... Should be most fun I presume!!! For players that have never experienced GvG… For me being a 9+ year FoE vet and starting over, I doubt I will continue with any of INNO Games.
