Anybody else having issues posting on the new Papaya Forum? I think maybe 1-2 of my 15+ attempts actually made it on the forum. Nothing threatening either, just basic comments..

It keeps saying my post "needs to be approved". I have tried with multiple accounts too. Days later, and still no "approval". Seems like the censorship that OGPathetic forums were famous for under GM FoolWind, carried over here some how.....

Ahoy everyone!! Gotta love when you go on vacation and come back and find the game youve spent months and months is gone and went to another company. I have left and come back twice, restarted both times, started with netmarble, took an extended break, and came back during OGP. Now the chance to play this amazing game from the beginning, no power players, no insanely powerful pirates, everyone at the same level, that is amazing to me!!! Guess what everyone, this is a game, if you dropped $1000s of dollars on stuff for the game to make it "easier" for you, that is on you, nobody made you buy stuff. Everybody lost stuff, its a game, shit happens, would you rather the game be fully gone?? Yes the forum sucks, Now. Maybe in the future theyll work out the bugs, who knows. Has any one of you managed an mmorpg that switched company's and all the trouble that comes with it? Not I, said this guy. As for support tickets, I logged in OGP thru facebook, pain in the ass for this switch. sent a support ticket, 3 days later got a response with a link to fill out for steam and facebook users. I look forward to sailing with the Hardcore's and the Noobs, oh wait, we're all gonna be fricken Noobs!!! lol :D anyways, see you all in 4 days

Ugh... I beg you just wait until relase date and then open your rage mode ? :D

Who knows: maybe there will be enought change justify wipe... maybe you will even love to restart all over again with changes came to game?

There won't be enough changes. Nothing is enough to justify wiping 7 years of history. If they wanted to make changes they could have simply made those changes, a wipe was completely unnecessary.

I'm probably going to predict how Seville will be like on Day 1, and these are probably the players whom we might meet:

1) Newbie characters swimming around port to port (moved on and regrinding)
2) Newbie characters sitting around in Seville protesting against the wipe out.
3) Maybe 1 or 2 trollers..

Whatever it is, wipe has been done and no matter how much one can keep continue to complain about all our months and years of effort wasted, I don't think Papayaland will bring back our high level/rank characters and our expensive ships. There is no point protesting, protesting to Papaya is like trying to push a concrete wall. Papayaland has ignored us from the forums, and they will probably ignore everyone.

I used to invest a lot during OGP and NetMarble time, but although I will still be moving on and regrind back up slowly, I probably won't be spending much again this time. Papaya has violated our user's trust. Quit and boycott, or continue play newbie again and shut it. We got to look reality now. No matter how much one can keep arguing with Papaya, your voice will fall onto deaf ears of Papayaland.

I'm also just as disappointed as everyone else.

I agree with Rufas and Kosevo, though I'm still bugging Papaya2Win in support tickets about their choice. Even if it fails, I'll be glad to know I tried. If the wipe really does go through, I know I won't be around past a short period to say goodbye to some lingering friends, and to grind enough fame so I can see how my nation story ended. (I know I can read the script here on ivyro, but it's not the same.) It's a shame; I loved UWO, and I loved the community, but neither will be the same after this.

I am most pissed off about my Rowing skill getting reset. That took me like a year to grind,, everything else (except for my ANG) is replaceable but refined rank 20 rowing is a real kick in the nuts to have and re-do over..

I did opened a ticket to plea my case but I doubt it will be heard.

Since I seem to still be muzzled on the forums, I will post here. I am still having the same problems as most of you posting to the forums. Always subject to approval, and takes 3 days for any post of mine to show up if at all, and usually after they are so buried in the thread no one will see them or the post will be out of context.

I agree with Rufas, Guilder, and many others on here. Nothing justifies flushing seven years of grinding and world development (not to mention all the out of print/unobtainable items that got lost). some skills are easily re-ground, but others like refined rowing (I feel for you Cash) will be nightmares to redo.

This is not like most games where the environment is static and its just the player skill/levels that change. Its going to take a long time just to get the environment back to where it was, port development, etc. Releasing the next patch was near pointless as no one will have the skills, fame, or levels to even access the content.

Anyone who thinks this reset will fix the economy and rebalance the game is naive. This puts the cash players at a huge advantage because now a cash player doesn't have to catch up to anyone who might have been around grinding for years. He or she can buy the lead and keep the lead.

I will give it a run because I enjoyed the game, but the community was a big part of why I enjoyed it. Now that community is split into two camps more vicious that politics I am not sure how long it will last or how long my patience will hold. I feel like I am reliving the election and post election toxicity all over again...

It's a shame the way GAMA ended. A heads up should have been given so we could at least take some screens and vids. Of course they milked you guys for astros right up til the end instead. Blame Koei for allowing these crooked companies to use the license.

I doubt papaya will be different but who knows. We'll probably lose quite a few people but don't underestimate how many players will be coming for a fresh start from the various regions this game operates in. Netmarble and OGP both left a huge swath of disaffected players waiting for a change and us English speaking loud mouths are a minority even on GAMA.

And they wouldn't be wiping if they didn't want to gamble that it'd be good for business. GAMA was mostly dead. Wiping was the harder decision, much easier to just copy paste the server data and keep whale milking.

And who knows, maybe we get a better game out of it? Maybe we get cut recipes, MA rewards, and oxfords back in the game.

And when was the last time you were excited to jump into an Iron TLG? 5th broadside with fusion this time around, woo!

Best of luck everyone, sorry about GAMA.

Call me cynical... but could explain the OP Viking Event Prizes that OGP offered, that nearly everyone was farming for two weeks, just before the game went pop... OGP must of known then that the writing was on the wall, and was having a laugh at our expense.

However I will try the PP version, reading between the lines from Guilder's post PP have a P2W philosophy, I will use up the founders rewards initially and see what the state of the game is then. Currently it is a F2P game, and while it is like that; that is how I will play the game; one thing is for certain I will not be spending ANY RL cash again!

Once bitten twice shy as the saying goes.

Spread the word: UWO goes live at approximately 4 PM server time on the 18th (FYI Papaya uses the same time zone as OGplanet: Pacific standard time)

/!\ Quick little news /!\


~~~Changements in the Founder Rewards~~~

-There has been an increasement of the number of talisment for Rank 3 Founder (4 talisment of each kinds unstead of 3) and rank 4 Founder(6 of each unstead of 4).

-A new talisment is added in game and in Founder rewards: Battle King's Talisment. Utility still unknown but judging by the name and new PVP ship and land battle functions, I think they might be linked. You'll get as many of them as your other talisments.

-Another item added in founder rewards: Finesse aquisition intruction. You'll get none at rank 1 founder, 1 at rank 2, 2 at 3 and 3 FAI at rank 4. Will realy help players to get back these painfull to get techs.

~~~Forum~~~

-GMBenya is now present on the forum, and told that papaya would work on people tickets and the forum itself once UWO would be smootly launched, since their first priority is to make the game avalaible for everyone.

~~~Game~~~

-The game will be officialy avalaible to play at around 4PM PDT. Login may take a few moment due to the number of players that will log in at the same time to the game.

-There is a curently known bug by Papaya Play that occur on the installation of the game if using a 32b exploitation system making impossible to finish (And even start) the installation. It's possible this bug to not be solved in time for the official release, making 32b users having to wait a bit longer to actualy join the game.

-Alts/Toons account will be tolerated, using the same rules as before making it a maximum of 3 toons running per Players.


That's pretty much the news. Have fun in the game!

The battle king's talisman was introduced prior to the shutdown. It increases the amount of finesse gained. Note: **Finesse**.

Oh ok^^ sorry wasnt on Uwo for last month so didnt knew for that part. Also the 32b problem seems to be fixed mostly.

Also managed to make the launcher work again on my tablet (Wouldnt work last month on OGP (Which is why i wasnt playing XD)) Now I only wait to see if the tactil screen still work in game (Should be though since it was before XD)

For you players who aint quitting UWO after the wipe by Papaya the Scammer(yes, lying to take things away from people is scamming), all the luck for you.

But be aware before you spend in this game:
The contract with Koei lasts 1 year.
Papaya wont keep uwo if it isnt profitting. And it wont.

So I doubt that UWO will last more than that yearly contract. I'd be very surprised if it makes 2 years.

Just trying to help some people to make better informed decisions.

Where did you find that the contract is for 1 year?

In a couple hours I can startup the game, and hopefully join the servers.
First things Ill do is try not to get my eyes sweating because my character will actually be gone.
But use /cry and I hope people will join me.

Alert!

Enternal and GinDracon are already up to their old scamming/trolling habits. Enternal is PMing players at random, offering horrible rates on items. GinDracon is doing the same. They are both in/around Seville regularly.

Warn your new players to avoid these low life losers.

Do not do business with these 3rd world trash.

Do not let them borrow anything!!

These "players" are infamous scammers, for years now. Don't let them ruin the game already for players by robbing them.

I wish you all well for the future, but seeing the reset was every bit as bad as I feared it would be, and having no trust in Papaya Play, I don't plan on hanging around past seeing my nation's storyline, and maybe one or two other small projects. Here's to those halcyon days of GAMA; long may they live in memory. Cheers.

The experience boost event ended yesterday at midnight Papaya Standard Time, as Hawthorne stated. Correct me if I'm wrong (I will apologize if I am), but it also seems that there is now no boost at all. I only mention this because OGPlanet had instituted a permanent 1.5 skill boost for all players, and an experience/fame boost (2x, wasn't it?) for players under level 40 in adventure, trade, and battle to help alleviate the tedium of early level grinding. Perhaps this is another one of those changes Papaya believes long-time fans of the game are sure to appreciate?

Hawthorne

@Visitor: Indeed, we are back to vanilla EXP/Fame/proficiency rates as they used to be back in the day.

I won't make any pro- or anti-P2 arguments here. But back in the day, NetMarble used to have special events that lasted anywhere from two days to a week where EXP, fame and/or proficiency rates would be boosted. I can't say for sure if we will have such events under P2, but it's not entirely implausible.

@BonnyLass and anyone else who cares: NetMarbles boosts were not once in a blue moon. They happened all the time sometime twice a month, always once a month. On that note the boost were WAY better sometimes as much as 4x prof. IF Papaya does plan to bring that back, I feel no ill will towards it.

As for you people that seem to want to add in that you are leaving the game or some crap every post you make, leave. The game will be healthier without you. Myself and MANY other players will be here to help foster the growth of new players.

cool story bro. The only time NM did more than 2x on prof/xp/fame was when they had major major (major) connectivity issues. Ogp spoiled us with perma 1.5, we have come to expect it now. We dont' seem to remember what it's like to have 1.0

This draw for any game to me is to have some kind of sense of achievement, and all I seem to hear is a lot of people wanting it to be easier. Why have a grind at all, just put a button in the middle of Seville and blammo r15 on every skill.

Making the game easier is the best way to kill it, enjoy it while we have it ffs.
