This just came in on the game:
HOW COME YOU COULDN'T FUCKING TELL US THIS BEFORE? Dude, I spent money on the starter pack, granted it was only a few bucks, but what the fuck would I have spent that for if it didn't give me any advantage at all? I can't advance past Level 5, and there's absolutely no reason why I should have bought that pack. If you would have made this announcement here in the forums before you god damn launched this season, I would never have bought the starter pack. Hell, I would never have joined your server in the first place.
I hate to be a dick, but now I'm going to do a chargeback for the PayPal transaction because this is not what was agreed upon or outlined before your server launched dude. This changes shit up, and to run a competition and then have to cap or restrict that competition, yet still allow for purchases on the game is pretty fucked up man. So you can either PM me to work out a refund for the measly couple of bucks I spent on the useless pack now, or deal with the chargeback. You choose though, OP.
This is a pretty shitty deal on your end dude. If you needed some time to learn how this server works, and how to operate this game as an admin, you should have tested it out first before launching a server and offering purchases... Sorry to be a dick about this, but you have to understand from a player's perspective. You can't just go and change up the game and restrict shit after you launch, and expect competitive players like me not to get angry or frustrated... Only to be ignored in the chat there and on the forums here?
Yeah, I'm pretty livid over a game and just a few bucks. I don't care if it was $100 or $1000. It just ain't right what you're doing man.
