Vehicles Giveaway

wow,

read through this thread and am yet once again surprised at what MA does to its customers ...

Announcing plentiful (indicating that everyone who is online gets one) and then making ppl beg ... Seriously, whenever I need to beg for something virtual worth 1,7 dollars, please feel free to shoot me right away.

Shame on MA ... But if all players, for once, would have a backbone, they would simply not use it.

Back then when they introduced a charge for putting on clothes, EVERYONE complained instead of ppl merely not changing clothes and showing MA where the line is ...

guess they know how to get away with everything ...

Hopefully someone will post some times to the evening installment, wouldn't want to miss the fun lol :)


Sadly with this form of hand out its never the people who deserve them that often get them, normally the people who shout the loudest. Im interested to see what you are planning for later in the week..

I will say, it was handled appallingly by certain entropians; those who shouted the loudest, when told there was none left, also gave the loudest abuse to the Emma and Simon and towards FPC. They both have given so much to helping new players and calypso (yea, i know its a day job but they really have given something more/special back to the game) then to receive that sort of angry abusive language, wasn't fair on them. And it doesn't look good on those of us who acted propper and accordingly even after dispointment.

Thanks

while i like the novelty of having a vehicle and would love to test run one, I guess i will have to make do with none.

The system to deliver them is flawed, creates a lot of unnecessary bad blood and frustration.

Maybe they should have used a random number generator and give to the active members a shot to get one.

Still if they could post the time, the time zone and the place where the next giveaway will be, that would give a sporting chance to everyone.

I'm gonna be pretty sad if I don't get one; especially since I intend to just wait in front of my computer for most of the day to try for one... But that's my decision to make ;)

I really wish people would stop getting angry and making negative comments towards Emma and Simon though. If the frustration you're feeling is too much for you so that you are feeling the need to swear at video game officials, I'd suggest logging off.

Absolutely agree. It can not have been a fun day for who ever was controlling Emma and Simon.

A free vehicle to everyone wasn't an option this time. We'll give away some more for other time zones as well. It was tough on Simon and Emma, but to be honest we thought that even fewer people would get a chance on them if we didn't give some away for free in the beginning.

The problem is that people were thinking they would be...ummm... plentiful.

Yup, thats exactly what it said on the tin, but this is MA not Ronseal :bs:

Agree, should have been done in a temporary mission that lasts 24 hours or summat.

Plus why did you put Simon and Emma through that, ubers and noobers spamming trade with them to ry and wrestle a freebee, WTF?!:eyecrazy:

Hand them out to all or not at all, they are L... duh, they like them they will buy another... thought that was the whole idea :rolleyes:

In retrospect perhaps vehicles should have been part of a mission?

Best plan yet Batman.

An event system thing that only lasts 1 week - and by its nature means that only 1 per avatar.
 
This was a rly bad start of the day lol. Pitty the carts weren't just sent to inventories of all active players instead, as was always done on special days with items.

Not that the vehicles are so very usefull yet, I dunno but we all love new toys to try. Even if the tt wasn't there and it would last for just a month or so instead. My head feels like exploding with all the time searching for them again in frustration attempting to get one :D
 
i know it has been said before but why oh why not just use the gift system and lower the tt of them. they will all run out and all those who thought they were great will pay to get more
 
All MA(FPC) events are a perfect example of how not to... I wonder why lol.

MA u can realy give it somwher more far from TP when u meet ppl on the way as u writed before. Standing in queue of ppl in laggy and crowded areas is not best idea.

Maybe try drive some wastelands and spot one or two avas instead.

I thought that's what they were going to do when I 1st read this.

To celebrate the arrival of vehicles to Planet Calypso and the Entropia Platform, FPC Official Avatars will travel around Calypso directly after MindArk’s 11.2 release, giving out free vehicles to colonists they meet along the way.

I've been jumping randomly for a few days just looking at areas which I'd bypassed when TP chips weren't available at the beginning and found some massive clear areas. These types of places would have been much better than crowding round a TP.
 
I wonder who came up with this brilliant idea...seriously...can't be a human right??

Unreal...
 
:yay: just got home. 5 hours to download the 11.2 patch :yay:

Well this proves EU is not capable of handling large numbers of players in a single area I suppose, who knows what will happen when vehicles become common place.

From past events we knew it would be bad but from the sounds of it I'm glad I was working ;)

Wait...5 hours? It only took me 10 minutes to download and start playing. Am I missing something? :confused:
 
Nope just the normal crappy UK adsl connections in my area using 20 year old telephone cables and ISP's fair usage policy cutting my connection speed even further at peak time :( that only seems to affect EU patches.

Norfolk, the last place in england to get anything. I still cant get C5 analogue :rolleyes: and only get freeview unoffically.
 
to FPC:

I'm mining; feel free to drop by to give me a vehicle.
Somebody got to loose her ass of for every 17ped given away...
:rolleyes:
 
i wonder if it would be possible to give everyone a vehical deed as a gift, but have them expire after 12 or 24 hours if you dont commision them? like mining deeds.

anyway, looking forward to later tonight and later this week :)
 
Whose briliant idea was to have twoo guys to hand out cars ?

No way you have enough manpower to do this job.

Unless you really want to create dramas.

Most likely MA/FPC wants to hype up the cars by given only a little away , even it was told to have plenty.

Manipulate their own player base with BS !

Put this into your next year financial report to explain why the playerbase is declining.

Fairly understandable given the amount of peds. If that's the main reason then how about a 1 time repairable one put into inventory that can't be auctioned or traded? Just a thought.
