There is some conflicting information regarding the phase out for easter event. Will the shop be removed the 29th as the patch notes state, or stay until may 7th as the original dev notes state? A quick response would be great since the next maint is coming soon and there is already panic and anger rippling through the chat servers. Thanks :)
A gaming company is only as good as it's word! You have led us to believe this event would last until the 30th with items that can still be purchased until the 7th.
We planned on that through the entire event to try to get as many of our guildies a Veteran General as possible.
Now it seems like you are going to pull a week out from under us!! THIS HAD BETTER NOT BE THE CASE!!
If so, I'll look for entertainment elsewhere!! I will not be lied to!
the 30th is when u cant get eggs from adv or explorers. it does end on the 7th
lol, jack are you even back in the game? now you are speaking for BB?Quote:

• "Paula's Surprise Box" removed from the shop
More details about the removal phases can be found in the Easter developer's diary.
This appears to go against everything that has been said about the event before. This is what is confusing people. To simply come on this forum and state what BB has previously said does not further the discussion about the latest patch note post. We need BB to clarify.
That is what i meant jackrack. i did not mean to poke fun about you being locked out of the game for months because of game errors. i am surprised that you are still around.Quote:

Hi guys,
I apologize for the confusion. I posted the incorrect patch notes. The event still has two separate removal phases - the first one will remove the Easter quests, the second will remove the shop category.
Again, I apologize for causing any alarm!
Phew! Thanks for clearing that up!
no I am not back. just chilling at the door that's locked lmao. I kick it every so often to check to see if its locked still solid as a tree.
Another double post? Very strange.
bb b spamming and don't care
Our website was having some issues earlier today. Also, I'm totally spamming.
I am UPSET to learn that all of my Easter collectibles DISAPPEARED. I thought the intent was no more earning new rewards, but I viewed turning collectibles into eggs as merely cashing in what I had already earned during the next week. To me, that would be like taking away my eggs. Instructions about "removal phase" were vague and incomplete. I lost the ability to cash in another 50 eggs. Count me as one VERY DISPPOINTED PLAYER.
Last week I accidentally visited the UK page and on the front of it was a link to a very full, clear and concise explanation of the Phase 1 removal. I fail to see why the folks who administer the US site could not have given us that info in an equally understandable manner. It boggles my mind.Quote:

No, sir. It does not surprise me in the slightest.Quote:

But the info is in the patch notes (via a link to the Dev Diary for Removal Phase I), so it wasn't a secret.

yes, not a secret. tucked away in the thread for all those who check the forums and every post every day.Quote:

1a. Go to: http://www.thesettlersonline.net/en
1b. Open the "Maintenance" notice by clicking the "+" on the right side -- they roll up after the maint is done, but they are open before maint.
2. Click the word "patch" to see the notes for that maintenance. (Same as always.)
3. In the patch notes, click the word "here" to see the full explanation. (Extra info because this was a big deal.)
The info gets posted, and the CLs are usually aware of when maint is and what's involved. When you guys have questions (and there were lots this week), we beat the BBs up to get specifics so we can get the word out. On Ares, we were posting a message about it across Global, Help, and Trade about every 1.5 hours to make sure everyone knew what was happening. If that didn't happen on Zeus, I can only say that I'm sorry. The next maintenance (with Removal Phase 2) is scheduled for next Tuesday night. Sometime next Monday night or Tuesday morning, that post will go on the front page, and it will point to patch notes which will point to the details since it's a big one. And about every 1.5 hours I'll be on Ares chat spamming people with reminders that the Easter shop is going away.
Maint is normally on Wednesday nights, but when there are events involved they shift to some other night (usually Tuesday) to coincide with the time limit of that event. Why Tuesday for Easter? I have no idea.
ok, i grudgingly accept this. :)
although...this was the post that originally stated that the shop would be removed on the 29th and was last edited yesterday...so i can only assume that the correct information was up at the right time. ;)
The problem was that the patch notes read that the WHOLE event was going to finish up this past maintance, there was no way you knew this was not true (for sure) because not until the next day of the patch notes update I spoke with a BB who then made the change ( the day of the scheduled maintance). I haven't commented on this thread till now because I personally don't care too much about it, tho if the original patch note update was not fixed and the entire event finished this past maintance I would have a whole lot more to say. Maybe I don't understand this whole convo and am wrong then I apologize but from what I took of this ur claim is that u were giving updates about the event to ur server before the BBs even knew what was going on with the updated patch notes. Again it really didn't affect me, BBs are human (I think, lol) and ppl make mistakes and the quicker this event ends I can initiate my trade plans....
No grudgingly! I'm just trying to be *helpful*. :DQuote:

Beat me to it ebotty :P and hi from work
Sometimes when there is a mistake in the notes, we can get that info from various BBs. But only Rawren can update the patch notes and main page -- so, it's possible for us to get updated or corrected info and start trying to get the word out before the maint notice gets updated. Unfortunately, that's just something we have to deal with for now. *sigh*Quote:

Not trying to take anything away from u or the cls.... But..... Yeah....
I'm sure it's possible... But I don't think it happened in this case
If I remember correctly, you're right about the timing. Seems to me that I got some corrected info from one of the BBs Monday night because I know I started posting to chat then, but the notices didn't get corrected until the next morning and Rawren asked us specifically to start posting in chat at that time.Quote:

The CLs are trying our best to help get the word out when we figure out that things are not as they are. I guess the only reason I even started responding in this thread is because pretty much no one on Ares was surprised that the collectibles were "removed" (they are still there, but you can't do anything with them). I'll shut up now, because I definitely can't speak for what happened on Zeus.
:eek:
Would anyone like a glass of raspberry mint iced tea? :)
Sounds exactly what I need on this brutal day of work, send some to Long Island plz, Ty :)
I read that as "send me a Long Island plz". :DQuote:
