"I now pay my money to CCP (EVE-Online)."
Yikes. I played that game for 3 years and if you have problems with Turbine's devs then you will probably break things IRL when you see how truely worthless CCP's are. I finally quit EVE after giving them the benefit of the doubt for a LONG time. They just can't deliver. There are still bugs in that game from BETA and they don't seem to care. Also, their bloodthirsty "PVP!!! PVP!!! DIE NUB! OMGOMG HAHA!1!11oneone!11!eleven U R TEH SUX No0B!" attitude gets old after a while.
I'll miss ELTrack and ELNav. The rest of it I never used anyway...

Elgar, I know that Turbine's billing error was the last nail in Tank's coffin, and I understand your frustration.
But I'll admit, I'm a Tank addict -- I love the buffing, the tracking, the navigation -- all of it. It's the only thing that makes playing my baby mage worthwhile, since I truly suck at manually playing a mage.
Would you reconsider your decision to turn off the authorization servers, and allow Tank to continue to work until Decal breaks it in the future? Could we, as a community, make donations on your site to offset the money that you lost due to Turbine's mistakes?
Or must we simply suck it up, and make the switch to other plug-ins now instead of later?  |

Baybear, I have yet to see anything official from anyone, stating that the auth servers are down for good. They have gone down on their own in the past. I am hoping that Elgar is true to his word, and lets Eltank survive until Decal breaks it, and not take the auth servers down on purpose, to despise Turbine.

Does anyone know for sure he "turned off" the server?
I think a lot of people are speculating and jumping to conclusions for what might be nothing more than a temporary server outage..
I know if I were Elgar, I'd be laughing at all the drama something so simple can cause.
Kinda reminds me about the one time my server went offline for an extended period of time... the amount of emails I received was overwhelming. People asking why I got rid of ACDC, and that they use it all the time and need it, etc... and if I'd reconsider picking up the project again and keeping it up until it breaks...
It's the exact same scenario. Mine was just a server outage. Is this one confirmed that he removed the auth server?

Well, if he DID shut down his Authentication server, yup, he intentionally tried to hurt Turbine and intentionally tried to hurt the player base - making him a liar.
If.

Hamfast = close friend I met in AC and have known for many years.
Yes I have taken down the auth servers.
Turbine charged me when I'm not even subscribed. They havn't even had the decency to reply to my email (sent to the address they gave to deal with this 'error' of theirs). They cost me money when I'm not even a customer of theirs, then ignore any attempts at contacting them to rectify THEIR mistake.
They charge a friend on FIVE accounts (not subscribed), and his billing went over the first of the month. Could have had very serious consequences, and Turbine seem oblivious to the problems they have caused.
Non responsive to Emails sent to the address THEY gave out.
Blocking accounts that are unsubscribed on their forums so you can't even read the messages. If you don't have an account you can read it fine, but if you are unsubbed you are penalized.
Turbine appear to have no intention of rectifying their error as they are totally unresponsive to any forms of communication. I've informed my banks Fraud department and left it in their hands to deal with.
Turbine no longer have ANY support from myself. I'll be vetoing all future Turbine games, and I'll be warning off any friends to do the same.
