Clearly this poll is broken. While one of the two best cookies is leading the way, the other is three spots behind.
I question the voting mechanism and demand information as to when the developers will provide a complete breakdown of how this was supposed to work so I can compare it against my logs and find out what's wrong with cookie voting.

Beginning at 4:00 AM PST on Tuesday, February 17th, all log-in servers will be undergoing maintenance. During this maintenance you will be unable to log-in to all games and account management tools, and you will be disconnected from the server if you are already logged in. We expect this maintenance to take approximately 30 minutes.
Also on Tuesday, February 17th, from 6:00-8:00 AM PST, SOE Account and Commerce flow, the Station Store, will be unavailable due to maintenance. We expect this maintenance to take approximately 2 hours. This maintenance session will prevent log-ins, but players who are in-game should stay in game until they zone or otherwise make a request from the session system. This might also cause some forum accounts to temporarily lose permissions, due to the inability to verify account status while the maintenance is taking place. This is only temporary and normal permissions will return automatically once the maintenance is complete. We apologize for these interruptions and will resume all affected services as soon as the maintenance is completed.

Thanks for the update, I'm glad you are in!
I will confirm that the suggestion to remove links so as to create less confusion has been passed along. No promises, but it is a good one.

I agree, things could have been handled differently, but that's hindsight.
The easiest way to see if your account has linked properly is to log in and create a character. You should be able to validate the mentoring bonus and group bonus with the help of your friend who brought you in.
If you don't have it, you can contact CS and put in a ticket and they will do what they can.
Alternatively, since you are just starting I would wager your friend could send you an invite again (different email address) and you could make another account and follow the steps I listed above. It won't set your friend back in a meaningful way, and you won't have to reinstall the game. That is one way to avoid the CS queue if you would like.

Would we do this to the US servers in prime time? Yes. If this problem was hitting the US servers it would get the same response.
The US servers are on a different game build, and the problem hitting the Euro servers is specific to the current build, which is what is being fixed. That's why it's not in other regions. So unless you really believe that server gremlins hate you, it's not deliberate; just unfortunate timing.
Locking this since I have another thread going.

Some problems are large enough that we can't provide hours of advance warning. I know it stinks, but when you are presented with two difficult options you choose and then work on delivering.
I have not received word that you are good to go yet, but I am in communication with the folks working toward resolution. Hang in there!

Typically we tend to agree with you because prime time is something we don't like to interrupt. Because this problem was crashing zones, and would affect raids, etc. we weighed the options and felt it was important enough to fix ASAP.
I know that stinks if you had plans, but having a zone crash when you have the raid boss down to 2% stinks so bad we felt it was the right move.
Sorry.

I'd like to jump in and help clarify a few things that might be causing frustration. Usually it's a lack of good information. Here's a link to a SOE Knowledge Base article on Recruit a Friend that does a great job of explaining the right steps to take to ensure that your accounts link and the rewards flow. It's a step by step flow that, if followed, will prevent headaches! Please use it if you have not gone through the steps yet. Also, clicking on any link in the email, or on the websites, other than the "Click here.." link in the email and the account creation links on the website (avoid the Station Launcher links, etc.) will break the flow instantly and cause problems, so please be very careful and use the steps linked above if you want to be doubly sure. Once all of that is done, you should receive the rewards as applicible to the account level the recruited friend has. You can check the RAF info page to get the full info. The 3x exp and mentoring bonus should happen even while your friend is in trial status. Everything else is predicated on them activating a subscription. If any of that is not working as it should, and the rewards are not happening, please do get in touch with SOE CS for help. They do not have a giant red button labeled Instant Solution or magic wands, but they work hard and will help you sort it out. Just remember that they might have a lot of tickets at any given moment, and will help you just as soon as they can, but can't ignore the other customers who need help with a variety of issues. I hope that helps, and gives people a clear idea of what to do while registering, or if they have issues and need help. We really like this program and want you to have the benefits!

Hi there, The Splitpaw server will be brought down shortly for an emergency maintenance fix. There is a problem causing zones to crash on Splitpaw and we will be hotfixing the server to eliminate this problem. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding. As soon as I know that the server is patched and in normal operating condition, I'll update this thread to let you know. P.S. Runnyeye and the FR/DE servers are also affected by this problem and hotfixing as well.

You are one of my new heroes. I must say, i am continually surprised and humbled by all of the time and attention that soe developers, and community representatives continually show us. This thread could have been ignored, but it wasn't and that means a great deal. While some players make fun of decorating homes or call it purely fluff I can attest to the fact that sometimes it is decorating alone that keeps me logging into a game. It is a creative outlet and I applaud the attentiveness of the soe team on our behalf. Thank you Kiara for your time and creativeness. Thank you Dominoe for taking such good care of us. Thank you Gninja for listening to a plea from the community. And thank you to everyone else that I havent mentioned or who works behind the scenes to make things happen. Many chocolate chip cookies all the way around!

Hello again. It's time to lock this thread. I have a great list of detailed feedback and suggestions. I'd like to remind everyone that what I'm about to post is a detail of your suggestions. It is not a commitment list from the development team, it's a list of suggestions that I'm going to pass along (again in updated form) so they can take in your feedback. As I was a bit busy after the break, it's been a while since I moderated the thread. Recent posts skewed waaaay off target, so I removed them. Further discussion about your thoughts for appropriate Station Cash items is more than welcome in the forums. Please feel free to discuss them in the appropriate sub-forums so the conversation is topical and relevant to the forum you choose to post it in. Example: You have an idea for what you think would be a great and fun illusion to have in the Station Marketplace. Post it in the "Look and Feel" sub-forum of the EQII boards so the people who are looking for artistic ideas find it in their scan of that forum. Don't post it in the Combat forum where it's not going to make sense to the people there. Beyond that, I would like to thank everyone who contributed an idea for things they would like to see from Station Cash. While I can't promise that everything requested will ever be used I can say that everyone here at SOE deeply appreciates you taking the time to give a suggestion. Thanks!

Due to an unexpected outage in our network center, all SOE websites, forums, and login servers are currently unavailable. This outage does not currently affect the game servers and players who are currently in game should not be affected.
The SOE network and operations teams are working toward a resolution at this moment, and as soon as we can provide an ETA for a restoration of these services, this post will be updated. We apologize for this unexpected outage, and thank you for your understanding. --------------------- UPDATE: The network team appears to have solved the problem, and things should be getting back to normal in short order. Thank you again for your understanding and patience, if any further maintenance is required we will update you in this post.

Back when we had EQII's birthday, Vox was the first PvP server to host a party and it unintentionally turned into a gank fest; causing the party to be closed for the interim until a solution could be found. That solution has been found and I am going to have a party this Friday at 2:00 PM PDT (That's California time!) and hand out goodies to folks who are online. I do not have a way to let people talk across faction lines to each other, but I'll bring a friend from Community along so we can speak to you in a language you can understand.  Thanks for your patience, I'll post more details on Friday so you know what to do to get in!

We did not forget! Nor did Nagafen get missed. You may have missed the party on Nagafen, but it happened.
Now then, about Vox. I'm going to do the party this week on Friday at 2pm. I'll make a seperate post about it to make sure everyone knows, but that's the score.

Hey folks, I just got back from the holiday break. I've removed a few posts that were not item suggestions (again, discussion about SC is for another thread) and welcome people to suggest any items they would like to see in the marketplace.
I'll do another summary after I get caught up on my pile - o - work!

I have no clue. I'm making the compilation list of player suggestions. That's all. It is being handed off inside the company, but I have no information as to when this list will be specifically considered by the folks who implement things. Plus, I am hopeful that more people will chime in with their suggestions. As Adeyia noted, only a few days have passed. While Adeyia has taken the point a bit beyond what's really happening, there hasn't been much time to consider these suggestions and filter things out that the game teams would like to avoid. Right now, it's just a list and not even a closed one.

Happy Friday folks. I have removed some (but not all) posts that weren't appropraite for this thread. Not all of them were removed because they were bad and needed moderation -- some were merely far from topic, making the feedback loop hard to track. On the subject of feedback, here is a list I have been compiling of things you have suggested. This is not a commitment list of what SOE will deliver with Station Cash, and it's not even every single idea presented in this thread. It's a summary of what you have said though, and I'd like to share it to help focus more feedback and ideas back to the intended topic. Edited for a typo. Doh!

I'm sorry, but its a growing tendancy from those of you at SoE to only acknowledge a transaction takes place if cash is involved. Anytime I see posts that seem to reinforce that position, I'm going to post to push the envelope on the issue.
...and if you continue to make posts that push the envelope, I won't wait for my employees to give you a temporary vacation to the rest of the Internet; I'll do it myself. The initial question was very legitimite and the answer given was in accord with SOE policies. Twisting it into another issue is simple trolling -- which is not welcome. Please make an adjustment. As the question has been asked and sufficiently answered, I am closing this thread. The posts are left in line to make it clear why this form of trolling causes moderation. Let's try to avoid that ok?

I've removed a number of the posts that are feedback about Station Cash itself to keep this thread functional.
Please, feel very welcome to express your feedback about Station Cash in the appropriate thread. This one is for the folks who would like to share their ideas about what we could add in the future.
I ask that you respect them and give them fair space to share their ideas. I'd really like to avoid thwapping people who can't post feedback in the appropriate thread.

Just a quick word of caution over disagreeing over the ideas of others...
The goal of this thread is a bit of a public brainstorm. Please don't stifle folks who have ideas you don't support, because right now what's important to us is a free flow of your ideas.
As we narrow things down, suggestions such as "Let me buy my epic!" will be filtered away as they are not exactly the intent of Station Cash. While we are in brainstorm mode though, please let people fire out any ideas they have. That way it's about the ideas first.
Thanks!

The initial response to Station Cash has been a success for SOE and we are looking forward to new offerings for both EverQuest and EverQuest II in the not too distant future. In fact, the response has been so strong that game teams are adding new employees dedicated to Station Cash, to allow us to continue to add new and exciting items to the marketplace, without having to pull from the core development. In addition to strengthening our development teams with new staff; we want to be very open to you and your ideas for future items in the marketplace. Which is the purpose of this thread, what would you like to see in the marketplace next? Please share your ideas for things you would like to see that fit within the spirit of the marketplace (please don’t ask for Epic’s…). I’ll be tracking this thread and reporting internally on the things that you guys ask for. While I can’t guarantee that every single requested item will make it in the games, and can’t set a schedule from your idea to delivery as a game asset, I want you to know that we are quite serious about not only hearing your input, but putting it to work if it’s viable. As a reminder, there is an existing thread for your thoughts and feedback about the new Station Cash system and this one is intended only for your ideas about the things you would like to see us do next! Please respect that and keep your new item ideas and feedback in the appropriate threads. That said, the ball is in your court; what would you like to see next in the marketplace? Edit/Note: I know that "Station Cash" is not showing up in the forum view for this thread. There is a bug in the forums preventing it. My apologies to anyone confused about what this thread is before reading it.
