Founder's Rewards??

General Discussion
OK, its 2:44pm server time, first Tuesday of the month. I looked for my UWC, finding none.
Explanation (pick one):
A. Technical problem
B. Laziness
C. Forgot
D. Had no intention of actually following through

A little communication would be nice. It's even more clear that Papaya has no interest in this game beyond making as much money off it as possible. Papaya? You there? Please tell us what is going on. Thank you.

    i certainly agree mamacat     if this is a broken promise from papaya  then this will not sit well and could be final blow.

    I've usually patience in these kind of things. But it is almost end of the day that worries me as the promise may not be kept. I assume it is a lot of work what they do and in such a small team. :x

    Even though, if that was the case... then at least announcing the delay with this reason would keep us players at least. x_x

    Let's hope we get our UWC asap.

    Well, looks like they decided to cough it up, finally. I was thinking the worst.

    Talking to Sheebs in-game and he says they're working on it. There's still 7 hours in the day as of right now, so possibly by end-of-day we'll have it squared away.

    Once again, lots of people getting their underwear in a wad because papaya didn't do something exactly as they thought it should be done. Probably papaya thought since today was the day that the money was to be credited, they would come in at 8 in the morning and start the process. They had absolutely no idea that a bunch of professional complainers would start bitching because the money wasn't in the account when the day rolled over at midnight. They did not realize that people are actively looking for something to bitch about, anything at all would do. Well, maybe they're starting to figure that out now. It didn't take me long anyway. Any normal person who wasn't all paranoid about it would have checked their account the next day, seen the money in there and knew all was well. Not this bunch!!!!

    @wesdoobner You got your rewards thats fine, but people like me are still waiting on Papaya to give us our founders rewards, not because of fault on our side but because of the way OGP and Facebook sign in. After a good month and a half since the transfer process started, people like myself are still not any nearer to getting our founders rewards, so before you start saying about Papaya not doing stuff proper and how we expected, think of those like me stuck in this position through no fault of our own. People like me who have been waiting 20 days for a reply on a support ticket about this very matter. People that even came back to try give the new UWO a chance together with Papaya in the first place, remember many people quit as soon as they heard reset, but these people like me are trying to give Papaya a chance in the first place, simply to be treated this way. many people can prove their accounts simply because many took screenshots and/or video evidence like myself and have provided this in our tickets, YET we still not hearing back from papaya and when we have they just say wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait

    James, I have one question for you. While you are waiting for your founder rewards on your transferred account, have you signed up for a new account also to enjoy the benefits papaya gives new players in the welcome package? If not, then maybe you should try it to relieve the stress while papaya is working on the backlog of issues.

    I have thanks, but it's a little bit different to players that have had there founders rewards thats all I'm saying, Personally I feel even new players should get a bit more pocket money so that they can set themselves up, I don't think 50m is to much, but I can imagine the abuse it would hold

    do couple quests, (yeah doing school may be enough for minimal funds), buy some cheap weapon and run couple times syracusa dung, and "woooala" you got your easy cash

    @jamesc0330  I can feel that pain.. in fact, I'm still feeling it. Not Facebook or Steam, but just a simple unresponsive, "empty" OGP transfer that Papaya has left me in the dark on, save for one generic "talking points" email. It was only a single Tier 3 or so Founders pack for that matter, not like I'm trying to con them into dishing out hundreds of UWC dollars to 5 different accounts.

    I don't agree with he 50 mil for newbie accounts though. They already shot the game in its proverbial foot, by dishing out billions of Ducats to the high tier Founder population. Even the lower tiers received 200 mil per account. Meanwhile... a difficult quest form India only rewards 350,000 by comparison; A quest you need fame to unlock the port permits for, skills to sail that far and a ship that can travel that far. These aren't things newbies have on them when they start, but the Founders packs have allowed everyone to bypass the entire process before this point.

    Giving people with no experience at playing the game, access to that higher-level content right from the start, will take away most of the sense of adventure and immersion people initially have in the game. And until they realize how badly Papaya stacked the cards against them at the start, seeing higher end players at lest provides those newer ones with some incentive to also grow richer and stronger.

    They should have simply not given out those freakin' packages in the first place and limited it strictly to consumable items. But, as my Brit friends say,"Bob's your uncle".

    You can still make a fortune if you know where and how to look at grind. It just limits you as to when and where you can make that fortune.
