I have never felt sooooooooooo cheated until now...thanks SoE! =(

Dark Xia · 01-02-2006, 05:44 AM

This is where i "won" the jackpot...what did i get...10 silver... :smileysad:

This is where the GM told me to turn off custom UI's...as you clearly see...I dont have custom UI's...:smileysad:

My Advice is to not play the game...the message from the GM says the system was working fine...yeah right...when is Everquest not bugged...sad day in my book from SoE...sad day...

Dark Xia · 01-02-2006, 06:16 AM

I so got screwed its not even funny. But its my fault that I got all matching numbers...but no money. I have seen some wierd stuff from SoE, but this by far has set a new low in my book. I now really dont like SoE cause of stuff like this happening. "the system is working as instended"...does that mean not giving people money from the Lotto. Looks like it to me.

Wow... what sucks too is that despite that I and everyone else believes you, SOE will just say that picture can't be used as evidence

due to the fact that it could have been edited via Photoshop... Not saying you did, it's just I know SOE and that's what they would say.

What's even worse is that when you submit a problem via /petition, 99% of the time they don't even answer the question you asked!!

Calbium · 01-02-2006, 10:15 AM

that sux did ya get the money?

Calbium · 01-02-2006, 10:18 AM

O i see now

Byzanth · 01-02-2006, 11:24 AM

This is definately a bug in thier UI. I've seen 1s,2s and 3s on my UI when I changed my Font settings for the lotto game and it is strange to watch numbers match when they really don't match from the list of numbers.

What the GM is saying is: It doesn't matter what the numbers say on your screen, You win only when the lotto game says you do.... There have been winners and I'm doubting any of them put up a fuss if it said their numbers really didn't match; haven't seen anyone post a screenshot of a lottery win yet SMILEY

Very disheartening to see this... Something they definately SHOULD Fix unless they want to see people leave from feeling they have been cheated.

LiNkInPaRk789 · 01-02-2006, 02:04 PM

Man does that suck.

Mantua1 · 01-02-2006, 05:13 PM

I feel for ya bud, but did you really expect to get anything. The gigglegibber lotto was just another way for them to get money out of the game. Working as intended was correct. It is intended to not pay anyone at all. From SoE's end it is working great. They got 300 plat out of the game on your server. If they had not said somethign about a UI mod it would have been the gravatational constant of the unverse was in flux or the local ground hog had seen his shadow.

Sorry to see get shafted but again, did you expect anything less?

Did you notice that the books the Gigglegibbers were reading were about cheating at games? Hmmmm SMILEY

Save your money folks SMILEY

Panad · 01-03-2006, 07:02 AM

This is easily the most f****ed up BS I've ever seen. If this is really true and happened this way.... if that happened to me I would most definitly quit, not for the loss of money but for the feeling of having been completely and utterly betrayed, cheated and made fun off by SOE. Just seeing this gets my anger up....:smileymad:

Dark Xia · 01-03-2006, 07:40 AM

Yeah, my christmas wish has not been fullfilled yet (Wished SoE would get there head out of ther butts and fix the bugs). At the rate, they will never fix it. I just hope no one else will gets screwed like me. Let you all be forewarned!

cattie br · 01-03-2006, 07:58 AM

and they say having a larger guild is a stupid idea... story:

my friend was getting a large transfer of plat from a whole group of friends leaving the game for another. Soonafter he got it, SOE took it all away saying he got it through means of exploitation. and banned his account for 5 days.

I got the guild together after the phonecall from him, and we had over 80 people petition nonstop about what happened. Finally we got results, his account was unbanned, and his money was returned, along with an apology from SOE.

strength in numbers friend, i hope you get your coin from these guys, i would have gone beserk at that point.

I'll investigate this, but please keep in mind we've had quite a few fraudulent claims about lottery jackpots since that system went live and none have panned out to be true -- not that I'm accusing you of such, but screen shots are easy to fake. - mh

How do you get your exp bar that big? Isnt that custom, or can that be done normally?

Fern · 01-04-2006, 06:41 AM

Did the Devs actually test the payout on a live system before rolling it out without fudging it? The chances of anyone winning the lottery are worse then more REAL lotteries so I don't know if the Devs would actually sit there and try to hit it naturally for the payout.And I've yet to hear about anyone that has won the jackpot.

Goresling · 01-04-2006, 06:59 AM

To answer the question about making the xp bar bigger, you can click and drag the side of the xp bar box to expand it. It is not part of a custom UI. If you can't see the edge of the box, you can hit F10 to bring all your window boxes up. If you still can't move it, you can right click the box, go to window options, and unlock the window. then, you will be able to modify it however you need.

If this is a fake, and I'm not saying it is for a moment, it must be incredibly good. Examine it in Photoshop, zoomed up close - you'll see the numbers line up exactly and the colours are within the same boundaries, given JPG compression. For instance, the '3's in each line are totally different when viewed at the pixel level - the JPG artefacts around each are utterly unlike, so they're almostly certainly not copied and pasted. I even cut and pasted the '3' from the first line to the second myself from this shot and then saved it at an extremely compressed JPG level - and they still look totally different when zoomed in.

Could it be that to win you have to have the same numbers in the exact same order?
