Expect the Unexpected... At AGE

I'm looking at the players that I cast and realized we’re still short. For the purposes of this post, I’m removing mysticmaggie and adding JonGhost and SailorSpira to the cast. 

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas and all the good little gamers, games masters and game sages at Aeria Games were preparing for a week of festivities and events. Some thing to give the community a reason to be merry. Meanwhile, lurking in the shadows of an Aeria Games forum frequented by many and accessible by few, a most heinous act was being committed:

A Star is Born: Liar Down Under

Lies are a little fortress; inside them you can feel safe and powerful.Through your fortress of lies you try to run your life and manipulate others. But the fortress needs walls so you build some.These are the justifications for your lies. You know, like you're doing this to protect someone you love, to keep them form feeling pain. Whatever works, just so you feel okay about the lies.

Goodbye & Good Riddance [GS]PraxiaDiealot

Amidst rumors that my blog is the cause for ripples throughout the Shaiya gs/gm team such that game sages are losing their tags without any reason, I’m going to do a little experiment.

In the near future, SailorSpira/[GS]PraxiaDiealot plans to take a break from being a game sage. It’s my understanding she told other Game Sages this much in their private forums. Of course she also notified members of her guild of her intentions as well (although she did give them a reason). As a former Shaiya player as well as a former officer of her guild, it's reasonable for me to show her my gratitude for all she has done. 

Three two Infinity

In my time playing Shaiya I came to have toons on every server, predominantly Lailah and Teos. I played Shaiya for almost two years. During that time I amassed three things that I'll cherish for ever: an infinite number of friends; 13,491 screenshots of guildies, friends, and other visions of random wonder; the privilege of representing three different guilds full of people I often still consider family. KnightsofAnarchy (Teos Light), Devil Dogs (Lailah Fury), and TheBloodGuard (Lailah Light). 

Attention Readers

These past few days I've worked tirelessly to satisfy the needs of my readers; posting, answering emails, responding to instant messages, modding Chupa's comments (and those of others). 

But my life doesn't revolve around this blog. I have other blogs to maintain, a family, and other boring hobbies/activities that require my attention. I am sorry to inform you that I may not be able to post as often as once and sometimes twice daily because of health reasons. This does not mean I am terminating the blog. In fact I intend to continue posting as often as once every other day minimally.

Service Interruption - A Disgruntled Gamer

Sometimes I want to foreshadow posts to come. Such posts will contain 'Service Interruption" in the title.

I’m not a disgruntled player that spent hundreds of dollars on a game and was banned for hacking. I was never a disgruntled player. I never spent hundreds of dollars on AGE services. I was never banned for hacking. You can ask some game sages why I was banned and you'll be told I was banned for "technicalities,"  "harassing a game sage" and in some cases because a game sage tried to help me. If you want to ask a Game Master send a ticket but be mindful AGE's privacy policy says they are not allowed to divulge information pertaining to another customer's account so they shouldn't provide you with that information.

Notification of Poor Customer Service

Some at AGE have shown their disgust towards items I have posted and vocalized those opinions with threats, warnings, and terminations of friendship. When I made this blog I knew I wouldn't gain any brownie points with any at AGE. I could care less about what some of you think especially since in spite of your open hostility towards me you continue to read the content I provide. I find that quite laughable but expected since less than a quarter of correspondences I've received over the past two days were in regards to things I posted about a Shaiya Game Sage.

I'll reiterate the sentiment that if a problem has arisen because of an AGE service, you should send a ticket. Of all people Game Sages should be very knowledgeable about the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy they agreed to when they created an account. Again, let me quote Superman0x: 

Happy Anniversary

Saturday November 27, 2010 around 3:15 PM the account hybridchic was deactivated while reporting a game sage for harassment, stalking, and other offensives. The most punishment he received was the loss of his tags though he continued to harass me.

About a month ago, around the time I decided to launch this blog, I announced to friends that I was done with AGE. Even after launching the blog and to this day I still maintain some contact with any number of AGE affiliated persons in spite of all that has happened to me as a result of AGE's poor customer service. Within the past day I've received around 120 correspondences. Only 12 pertained to the two posts I published about mysticmaggie.
