Since Ea owns ClubPogo.com and we have a limited account there. Why not have these accounts updated to Club Pogo membership status.Since we already pay EA for UO. Should this upgrade also not be there?
Just curious..

and

My mother, both my sisters, several of my nieces, my cousin, and an aunt or two all have paying club pogo accounts. I'd have one too (did have at one time) but I don't wanna pay for both UO and ClubPogo, in addition to WoW and S+. Too many bills, heh.

I'd totally use a free ClubPogo account if they made our UOAccounts also ClubPogo accounts. That would be awesome, but I can see why they don't. Less money to pay for updates to both services and more payload on their pogo servers.

We don't even get free Club Pogo accounts :-P

and

Oh that sucks!! I love that place, and would absolutely love it if we got free pogo accounts LOL.

and

Well we do have pogo accounts, but not to all the good stuff..

You log in with your UO info..

IE:
uo_(account name here)
(uo password)

this give you the basics, but not anything kewl..
Not even the ability to have a mini there..

Only reason I am asking about this is my wife plays. And it would be fun for us to go against one another in a game room sometimes..

But Pogo is ... not UO-like at all.

Exactly, it is not UO. When you get sick and tired of the sad state UO is in, you can go play Poppit and dream that each balloon is some duper's head.

And then there's the chance to win some money.

And Wilki; I think it's sad that you replied to a post about Club Pogo but not to a lot of the more ... meaty posts here about the problems plaguing UO.

Ah well.

Don't know that your still looking at this Wilki, but a while back when Mythic was first bought, I was wondering if EA would do the Sony Station thing and allow us to pay a higher fee for more content.

I think station is 19.95? You get access to SWG, Matrix Online, both EQs,
just checked its 24.95 now and I don't remember Planet Side since last time.

So thats 5 games, for 24.95 a month.

I'm sure some of these other games bring in players to the other games.

Pogo could be a start, The Sims, DAoC and UO for 19.95? After Warhammer comes out, perhaps a slight rate hike.

I had DAoC, I would like to try Warhammer, I would give this a try. I know when I played a lot of DAoCers were former UOers.

Thoughts?

and

If there is a post with 50 pages saying "WILKI FIX PVP *RIGHT NOW* ENOUGH IS ENOUGH", any reply by Wilki himself would be taken as gospel in that thread and every word would be picked up on, quoted and there is no way that any post could be made without being provocative.

Some things like "wtf my house just disappeared help plz" with a good few replies of people saying the same thing may generate a response because its something new, right, that is clearly more of an investigatable issue by someone such as Wilki. But what can Wilki say or do in some of the real hornet's nest threads. Sure I dont like the dupings either, the state of some of the bits of gameplay but its probably abundantly obvious to "them" too.

So basically, what kind of response would you be looking for from someone at EA that would be of benefit to everyone in threads which arent replied in? If Wilki actually knew of a fix for duping on a certain date and was at liberty to talk about it (think along the lines of scaring the public with stories like "water shortage" in the news and the subsequent buying of every bottle of water in town) then he probably would have done already. I dunno. But really, the best people to target the disappointment at are the people responsible for fixing the system that allows duping. I doubt Wilki can just say "heh ok mates, np, ill go fix it right now :-) Love, Wilki."

and

But by saying little or nothing about the problems and instead saying "hell, I don't even get a free Club Pogo account by working for EA" you start to ask yourself what he cares more about; UO or playing on Pogo? Even a mere "we feel your pain and are still working out a fair solution" would be nice.

Then you start to ask yourself if you care more for Pogo than UO, too.

Oh dear,it never ceases to amaze me how a simple question asked can lead to a heated off topic thread ...Tabbitha
