Seriously? Mods banning for practically more than a year? This game has some serious issues with power hungry mods. I suggest you get newer mods who are not power hungry and actually are determined to do they're jobs correctly. Otherwise, you'll be losing lots of players.

I'm checking the issue. This has nothing to do with accounts being banned. The issue is coming from somewhere else. The code hasn't change since yesterday (at that moment it was working fine) so I'm get through this ASAP.

dontshootme133, there is a daily reboot every morning to take care of things like database backup and such (to prevent making a backup while data is still being updated). It last around 10-15 minutes and then the server gets back online.

Selva, such system might be added later right but now the currency exchange system (that is currently unavailable to Kongregate users but it will come) serve this purpose. It means that you can get Altus Coins by exchanging your regular gold coins much like the system found in Puzzle Pirates in fact. But the truth is that most players are doing just fine by never spending any money. Things can always change (they have and will) but as the only developer on the project adding every single system found in all other MMOs is just not possible so there's come a point where I have to make choices. Of course making choices means I cannot please everybody but then could I really please everyone ... But thanks anyway for the feedback. I took the time to reply so it means that your concerns were heard and that in time I will take a look at how I can improve accessibility to premium items.

Actually Over00 you can point that out but it would be inacurte. Most MMo's, especialy the web ones, have an alternative achievment system (Non Money) to earn many of the 'premium' items, including housing and inventory upgrades.

Selva, I'll just point out that the GPS is the only thing of what you describe as "things that most games have free" and very soon the GPS will indeed be free for everyone.

BrokeNcydeBC13, I wasn't online at the time but we usually try to mute players before banning them. If you log in the game and start swearing like a lumberjack and spam global chat with bad words, I will probably ban you on the spot. Whenever possible, GM's will use mute and send you a warning. If you want to dispute your mute/ban send a PM to Altus or any GM in the golemizer forums. We do our best to keep the game friend for all ages.

Wow I got banned? For what? All I typed into the chat area was "Meow" and then it says I was banned for 9999 hours. Doesn't even give me an explanation as to why or give me a chance to appeal a potential ban.
What shitty moderation. 1*

bigerob, the currency exchange is currently unavailable to Kongregate users but that will change. The reason is that exchanging gold for Altus Coins with other players is an operation that must be done very carefully. I decided to first proceed with standard Kongregate integration and then I will move on to allow Kongregate users to use this system. I'd rather be careful than sorry about that but it's will come.

DaGwimWeapa, what browser are you using? Is javascript active? I doubt it isn't working as I've seen quite some people online today with no problem at all so it will take a bit more info to be able to help you.
