EVE Online

[ayu]

So, I have begun to play EVE Online again

I keep being reminded how awesome this game really is.
The problem for beginners though, is that it takes some time to really get into it.

I have played on and off for a few years, but I can't really say that I'm a pro yet.
And the pros would probably call me a noob : )

If anyone wants to try it, or is already playing it, give me a ping on the IRC =)

lol ok xD ... I hope he's not one of those weirdos who likes to pvp (meaning that he would kill me as soon as I enter a low sec area in the game).

So far I haven't done that much pvp, as I don't make enough money in the game yet, so I don't want to take the risk of dying too much ^^
But I will find a corporation soon and go out in low sec, preferably with escort xD

Ooook, so I stopped playing EVE now ^^.

I got my account closed for a few days because of some stuff that happened in the game.
I did deserve it so I got a 14 day ban.
I read through their rules afterwards and it does say that breaking the rules can give a 14 day temp ban,

Thus I accepted my punishment and waited.....

When I got the account back again, the GM who closed it, seems to have taken 200 Million ISK (the currency used in the game, and 200M is much).
The huge problem was that I only had 10 Million when the account got closed, so now I have -190 Million ISK :S ... making it close to impossible to play, since most of the things in the game where you make some decent money, requires that you already have money or at least "0 ISK" ... which I didn't have.

So I sent a mail to their support, asking why the hell they stole my money, and pointed out that it doesn't say in their rules that they will do that as a punishment.
And also asked how I am supposed to continue playing now after they did that to my account.

I got the following idiot answer

Greetings, I am GM Cid

Thank you for contacting Customer Support. I am sorry to hear about your issue and I apologize for the late reply. If you would like to fix your balance I would recommend that you purchase a PLEX and redeem it to a new character of the character on the account. The new character can then sell the PLEX on the market and send the ISK to your other character.

If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this issue, please let me know.

For those of you who don't know, a "PLEX" is an item you can buy in their store online to get 30 days more to play, but you can also sell it in the game for around 500 Million ISK.
So, they stole my money in the game, to have me buy it back with real money

So yeah ... I wont accept that, and thus I am now closing my account
