On a side topic to this topic.

Check the Automated Tournament times. I think there's one or two a week us Euros can actually make without staying up to the early hours of the morning.

The reason that there are no Dutch servers: Only when the game is translated into dutch, but there is no company doing that. Italy has gotten their servers purely because there is a translation company backing it...not because there are only 200 players playing on their districts!

-Loki-

WTH?
Hats ... This topic isnt about hats ... =/ It isnt about events either, its about that Anet does support Europe players ...

- PlayNC doesn't respond back about the Bonus Mission Pack
- No other payments in the store for dutch and belgian players

My complaint is and will still be
Anet get your lazy bum of that chair and do something for your players, let them know, you care!
Let them know you will do something for them! But now how you are doing it right now! Some people feel you left them in the cold ...

I find it kind of sad that Arena Net is failing (or going to fail) to provide players with alternative payment options to get the Bonus Mission Pack.

Dutch people might be known to be greedy and carefull use with money, but using credit cards on the internet just isn't safe, could aswell use PayPal instead.

I had to use my dads credit card without his permission, by the time he finds out I'll be playing the Bonus Mission Pack.

i agree, anet does favour nearly everywhere except europe , but this isn't wow , there aren't online fees for all the big improvements etc , anet is a business , it can't afford everything

lol, really? look at the Australian, New Zealander, those poor folks in China and South Africa. When was the last time they got anything? If anything we're spoiled rotten.

Explodie · Oct 25, 2007, 10:55 AM // 10:55

But then give everyone who bought GWEN the bonus mission pack.
So you can make it stil fair!

Or they had to release "GW Pre Paid Cards"
So you could buy them in your local retailer shop, but not this way, this is so unfair.

And yes Anet favour indeed everything except Europe, its like Anet doesnt even like Europe -_-'

Even when GW beta came out, Europe players had to import them out of America.
But stil i think Anet should have make a system so you can bank money to a bank account where you need to leave your account name/email adress ...
So Anet could contact you, but this is and will always be unfair ...

Edit:
Etta dont forgot the korean players have coke items -_- (not the drugs)
And yes your right, Anet should care about their Players and not about the money in their pockets!

Well, let's start the translation then.

Anyone still wants a dutch server?

Yes please, I want a dutch server... so I can avoid it.

All the people that speak Dutch in the game are either young players or childish morans. I have yet to meet an intelligent dutch player.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate dutch, heck I'm dutch myself.
I just seems to run into a lot of retards that's all.

Pyro maniac · Oct 25, 2007, 11:09 AM // 11:09

/care
If there was a Dutch server, I would be hanging around in the american districts, for both translations and all the 'NL/BE Guild zoeken members'.
As for event times: There are always whiners. Anet took 0:00 EST as begin and end time. If they would be doing 0:00 GMT, then there will be Europeans who think that Americans are in favor of them, because they have better times (starting at noon, ending at noon).

Couldn't agree more. Apart from the dutch speaking in general chat (which is pretty horrific in itself...) the names of certain people... oh the names!

Please let them enjoy their Scheur van Wee, Trollenzalf (Troll Unguent) and Kwaardaardige Geest (SS)

I do agree with you, seeing that the only way you can get the mission pack is to pay for it online.

No, just some country in the EU.

When did I mention Korean players? They're the most spoiled, because of NCSoft.

I've seem to miss the point in this thread now. What was it again?

I'm voiceing in for the Australian public to say; When you start getting treated like us (and our fellow mates in South africa.... they have it worse then even us) and NewZealand, Then you can Q Q.

The point was Anet should start caring about the players, the only person at Anet that cares about the players is Gaile ...

Well the only thing i know is that if Anet not should start caring they wont see me in GW2 >.< (Not that they care ... =/ its only 1 person of 1.000.00)

And btw the bonus mission pack isnt for free ... So i think that is the reason why we wont get it with "GWEN"
You have to pay 26€ for something else, and then you will get the BMP, so you pay 26€ for it.

And yes because alot of people posted here, we got offtrack >.>

Other problems aside -

I have not and will not order from the online store or buy any other expansion or game from ANet until they begin to treat all customer fairly.

Although I live in the US and could easily use a credit card and have even given up on the hope they would drop the idiot notion that you must tie your game account to a PlayNC account, I have not ordered anything - although I would love the Bonus Mission Pack.

I did purchase GWEN from a retailer to finish the story line. My sons' accounts and my mule account did not get GWEN, however, because there was no way I was going to shell out another 120.00 to an unfair company. Neither will I buy GW2 or any online offering (or any retail games for that matter) from ANet until they make things fair globally in their sales department.

In a global market there is absolutely no excuse to charge exorbitant prices in some parts of the world (Australia and New Zealand) and to make it virtually impossible to order at all in other areas. There is no excuse to separate out promotions in different areas - offering one miniature in one area and others in another is just a way of creating hard feelings and jealousy among the player base.

This is bad marketing ANet. You act like it is an American/Korean game to which you grudgingly invite a few players from other parts of the world. You made a global game, it's high time you get your heads on right and start acting like it.

Bad Anet - no cookie!

Are you drunk?

Anyway, the bottom line is, Anet can't do all the good things for everyone and everywhere. ANet made, fix, update, nerf the game but NCSoft is the one who're selling it, make a promotional deal in different part of the world, online system payment, t-shirt, underwear, mouse etc.

If anyone should get a blame it is NCSoft.

I just seems to run into a lot of retards that's all.

you nailed it. that's exactly the reason why I always played on the American servers when it was either Europe OR American servers, sure i got bad pings, but i'll take that over playing with someone who thinks they know me just because they live on the same side of the globe as me. I don't feel any sort of bond to another person because they are european rather than asian or american or african, heck, i don't feel a bond to most people in my country.

personally as far as districts go, i think the very best option would be to remove EVERY district except English, and then make an international district, like there used to be. that way no one gets treated unfairly. everyone gets an equal share

as far as the ingame store goes, here in Denmark i can get a combined bank-card and visa-card, and its cheap too, i don't pay much for it.
So why can't you get it that cheap in other countries? (it's possible to do it that cheap) it's more a problem with the individual countries than with GW. and just how would you pay for paypal without a CC anyway?

Actually the dutch have failed to figure out the effectiveness of visa check cards (aka what your referring to). After living here 7 yrs its of little surprise to me!

A card I'd need for nothing other than to spend a few dimes in ANet's online store, costs me more money anually than I'd ever spend with it and the very ownership of which raises flags when you apply for a mortgage is effective how, exactly?

Actually it is no different then a debit card, it does not effect your credit as there is no line of credit. It has a VISA LOGO and can be used anywhere Visa is accepted but the money is pulled directly out of your bank acct. No money means you can't use the card.

The dutch are behind the times in almost every area, and really need to realize this.

Of the several banks I have done business with in the USA NONE of them charge a monthly fee, unlike the dutch banks who charge just to fricking talk to them!

But alas this is not about the dutch, its just a simple fact. Hence, I can totally understand why Anet does not go above and beyond to do business with them in outstanding aspects.
