Last night I was slapped back to reality in Warhammer Online. Mythic took away my renown bonus, and now I just want to cry myself asleep at night.
I have to admit when I was playing this last two weeks it didn't seem like that big of a deal with the renown bonus. I thought okay who cares that in two weeks my renown bonus would be gone.
I was dead wrong. My renown bar felt like it was in neutral, or possibly reverse last night. It was back to seeing 4 renown, 25 renown, and 17 renown on kills. My renown bar was moving slower than a slug in a salt bed.
I think I may have to call my doctor, and get put on some anti-depressants. It is really that depressing. I lost that urge I had the last two weeks that made me log in every possible moment. Isn't that what Mythic wants from its players?
Didn't Mythic see the jump in activity? How could they just take it away? You know how they could of scored points? They should of gone above and beyond customer service. At least that is what I am preached to do to resolve customer complaints at my real life job. If a customer wants $50 you give them $100.
What if yesterday you read on the Warhammer Herald that their customers are so appreciated that they were extending the renown bonus another week. Yes, a move like that would of scored Mythic more points than the two week bonus. It would of really made them look like they were truly sorry for what happened, and heroes to tons of subscribers, and past subscribers.
But of course not. Instead you get the your two weeks are up suckers, and enjoy regular xp, and renown. It was pretty depressing to not even see a hint that maybe a 100% renown bonus once a month, or every weekend would happen after the great success these last two weeks.
At least maybe do the 100% renown bonus for a 3 day weekend, or five days right before most players subscriptions are to end. Wouldn't that be a great way to get people to resubcribe every month, and build your subscription base instead of seeing it dwindle?
