you publish an official announcement, yet you don't keep to the date, and there is no official word after that. thank god you're just running a game and not my business.

enough with all the complaining its getting silly... its really not that bad.
Things take time, and its the first age for them give them a break.
changes look well thought out, its gonna be a fun age just... be abit before it starts is all ;)
the fact that you're saying that, "give them a break", shows that you admit that they are unprofessional.
assuming someone takes over microsoft, you would expect a smooth transaction and everything to flow because you expect some sort of professionalism from such an organisation.
WE are like the fans of a football club
OMAC are like the new owners who see the club as an investment and end up screwing the club over.
this is the first time since i started in 2001 that such a delay has happened, and to make it worse, with NO official word or apology.
I must admit Im exited with OMAC leading swirve, still this is immensly annoying since my other online game is also under maintenance :(
They may well turn out to be a good thing for the game, but by any admission, it's not the ideal start.
if your assuming something like a microsoft takeover (nevermind an online game takeover) should be smooth, i think you have absolutely no grip on reality. Also as a football fan I know owners bring a new personality to the table, they have their own rules and nothing holds them to confine to previous rules. They are responsible for their own standard, and i agree with Pike, i am excited about the new changes.
Our kingdom knew there would be changes to start off, but we didnt expect anything dramatic since it was their first official age, but i think what they are doing is courageous, it is not easy to come in and shake things up like they are. So basically, now we had a few days to reorganize and develop a game-plan (like a football team :) to rediseign the makeup of our kingdom
Look. GTFO and grow up already.
OMAC like all, are humans. Things like this, they couldn't have forseen i.e. people that sit and avidly wait for the new age and plan things to the T in an online game. Yes yes, they were here with Mehul but I doubt they had truly anticipated or gotten a feel of the uto community then.
Either way, they are trying their best to give us a BETTER gaming experience by introducing changes and move to a different server. Rather than b*tch you think you could at least attempt to sound more civil because after all they ARE the owners of the game now. And what Mehul looked for in his game and the # of players that were left in the game may not be what OMAC is looking for. Obv Mehul went for a more homebrew style whereas OMAC is aiming in some ways to commercialize the game.
Go out and go do something useful instead.

this is not just an issue of what they forsee or what they have not forseen. Its a matter of responsibility here. NO word, NO apology, NO notifications/updates, and NO reply to the numerous queries posted on the forums. Instead, users are left guessing with regards to whatever's going on behind the scenes.
OMAC does not put their users first as seen in this very prime start of age example. Creating a good gameplay experience is obviously NOT one of their priorities seeing that they enjoy guessing games.
If you are able to tolerate such a substandard act, thats too bad for you.
Actually Ive seen quite a few posts from OMAC representatives.
Take a second to read and you'll know whats going on.
Sounds like the pot calling kettle black.
But anyway, I do agree with you that since Omac is commercialising this game, they do owe a commitment to their indirect customers. Some kind of announcement need to be on the main page to inform players. Not every player is so free to browse through the forum to find Omac's subsequent comments.
I have to agree with clawzzz on this one,
Omac has been very unprofessional in this transition.
At the very least, they should maybe update their blog with updated information. They have not done so. And they DEFINATELY should have a section in this forum for official announcements so people can be properly informed.
IF information on what's going on is available, they certainly are doing a lousy job of communicating it. With my wife, I run a vBulliten forum like this one for doll collectors and know how easy it is and also how important it is, to set up an Announcements section in the forum to communicate with the members.
The simple fact that Omac has not done this anb has not compiled updates, announcements and other pertinent inofrmation in one easy to access area is enough to convince me of their unprofessionalism.
I've been playing this game since Age 1 and Mehul for all his faults and shortcomings over the years was never as unprofessional about things as this.
Only real forum users browse them and know where something is posted. A lot of users just want to look at the announcements and know in general what is happening. And MOST players now WILL find it annoying that omac did NOT do what they said.
To point some things out:
People are used to having race changes each age now. they didnt announce that yet, though of course this isnt directly to blaim them for.
They said game would stop the 4th - it didn't
They said game would start the 8th - it didn't
They said new account management - Not yet seen.
Of course we should keep in mind that they are "new" to utopia. but frankly, they are a company ! a company that doesnt do what it is advertising FAILS big times at customers and will loose their customers. Without an OMAC explanation in the next few days people WILL get pissed at them.
atm, they are only dugging their own hole so that mehul can buy uto back for 10% of what he sold it for :)
wow you are an idiot. They changed ALL of their plans to suit our whining about no changes for the age. They were going to focus on implementing their new ideas and changing servers, but we had to be little babies and demand changes immediately. And OMAC bent over backwards to accommodate us, so naturally things are a little hectic right now, DEAL WITH IT.
And btw, thinking a Microsoft takeover would be 'smooth' is the most laughable thing I have ever heard, not to mention comparing Utopia to that kind of takeover is completely moronic.
Please do us all a favor and go back to your mom's basement and wait quietly for the age to start.
