NCSoft sucks the big one...again.

post #1 of 67
Thread Starter 
Problem unfixed.

So somehow, my account got into issues again; they kept changing the password and it said someone from OH, US was logging into my account. SO I contacted NCSoft support. Luckily my NCSoft Master Account still worked, so you know, I could log into it and change my GW1 password, which is also my GW2 password.

So they send me, twice, the information about if any of the issues are beta related. Twice. Finally get in contact with them, explain the situation...
Quote:
NCsoft master account summapumma has been permanently blocked.

Their next one explains about how the account is compromised and they're just basically going shut it off for good.

So..

All my NCSoft Games...GW1...even my pre-purchase of GW2, all my other games and stuff I bought...gone.

And all their support Team says is "Sorry"

I've no idea how this person kept getting into my GW1 account as I have NOD32, spybot S&D and regularly clean and whatnot and I've not had any other account stolen.

So I just paid 59.99$ for Guild Wars 2...and it's gone. That's 60$, throw down a drain, a day before the beta.

My GW1 account with all expansions, some costumes, and mission packs. That I played for thousands of hours.

After the last time and how they helped me it was great. I even changed my password to someone really long and random and wrote it down, confirmed it worked. SO it's not an easy to bust password, it was 12+ characters long.

Some of it is my fault for my account getting hacked into somehow, I imagine a Keylogger, but I can't see what or where as no program I have or have tried detects anything. Also none of my other accounts have been stolen, like GoG, or Origin, ect, only GW.


So yeah...and it's not like i'm getting a refund...that key is used...and the account now perma locked.

Good one NCSoft, a month ago you had me convinced you were a company that supported it's playerbase. Now you just lock them out if it's to much trouble.

You purchased GW2 and they never gave it to you and they have declared their intent not to. Call back and tell them that you will seek legal correction to the issue if they do not resolve it, they'll start falling over themselves because you've got legitimate grounds. Also feel free to point to Ocean Marketting and say that you will begin CCing everything to Penny Arcade.

Last thing they want atm is a PR nightmare on the eve of a major release, and the issue is trivial for them to fix, so they'll fix it.

They sure know how to kill a dedicated fan of the series who played since release of GW1

Who convinced all his friends to buy Guild Wars 2.

They sure like to go "Eh, we could help you...but that'd be to much trouble, I mean it's not like it's our job to help you...right...?"

Threaten to talk to people on the Kotaku, Blistered Thumbs, Penny Arcade, and Giant Bomb staff.
Especially PAC, Blistered Thumbs, and Giant Bomb.
I know some of the staff of Blistered Thumbs Personally if you need help.

You have Legal grounds for being pissed and at the very least wanting your money back, and if you start a PR issue about this you will get results.

I've never dealt with the game or company before but it seems to me if you pre-purchased, hopefully you used either PayPal or a CC. In either case you only need to make a complaint to get your money back.

Otherwise I don't see why they couldn't issue you a new account for GW1 at the very least, with or without whatever items/special things you had on your original.

Bummer though...

Well I'm starting here, on OCN.

As last time I was vocal about an issue here, I got a response. So I'm hoping...it can just end here. I don't really wanna do all of what you just mentioned.

I don't want a refund or a account "just like mine", I want mine back. I spent alot of them on them, I got friends on my friends list I talk to all the time, ect, I got 30/50 for my HoM.

It's frustrating.

Contact ArenaNet, get it resolved. Giving up and complaining here isn't going to help you. It's not unusual for gaming companies to suspend hijacked accounts. Blizzard does it for WoW all the time. You, the legitimate owner, need to prove ownership and resolve things.

I'll acknowledge NCSoft probably isn't anywhere near the customer level support that Blizzard is, which is why you need to go through ArenaNet.
