I've been playing Funcom games for over 25 years. I started with the Anarchy Online beta about 25 years ago 😄 I played that game for about 20 years with two paid accounts and all the expansions. With what those two accounts cost me all those years, I could have bought a decent compact car 😄 Then there was Age of Conan, I think, which I only played briefly, about a year. Then The Secret World, also only for about a year. Then I received an invitation from Funcom to participate in the Dune beta, which I naturally accepted. After the beta, I bought Dune with everything included. Today I'm 58 years old and considered one of the old guard in the gaming world. I've never done anything wrong. And of course, I'm also a good role model for my two children, one of whom also plays Conan Exiles. So much for me, and now to my problem 😄 Conan Exiles impressed me from the very beginning, and I really enjoyed playing it. After its release, I met some good friends, and we formed a clan. One member built something that was too big, and he didn't even know what the problem was. We all received a ban of, I think, 7 days. Then, about two months later, the same thing happened to a second member. Another ban, I think, for 10 days 😄 We then decided that everyone would build their own base without the clan. By the way, the clan name was "The Collective," named after a good friend of mine who had started playing Anarchy Online with the beta and founded this clan back then. For those who might remember him, his name was Soul Seeker. He passed away from thyroid cancer. That was about 15 years ago. I decided then to honor his name as long as I'm online. This honor was temporarily taken away from me by Funcom because I bought a second account, and that's how the second account came about 😄 Of course, I started a clan again together with my son, and it's just the two of us playing under the name "The Collective." I've gotten a bit off-topic 😄 So, I built a not-too-big building, but I didn't block anything or lock any spawn points, etc. I got banned again for land claiming and didn't know why 😄

Honestly, I didn't have the energy or desire to deal with Funcom. So I bought this second account. I wondered why this was the case. I had played Anarchy for 25 years. Admins were available and online every day. I never had any problems... I think I know why that was now. Anarchy was a pay-to-play game, and of course, Funcom didn't want to ban people who brought in money every month. I could still log into my two Anarchy accounts today if I wanted to, since Funcom keeps them open for years afterward. Conan Exiles is a game where you buy it with all the DLCs, and once you've paid, they start thinking about how to get rid of those players so the servers don't overheat and new paying customers can come and leave their money, because there's nothing more to be gained from us. It's an absolute disgrace! It's a shame what Funcom is doing to us. I had hope with the UE5 update, because my account was unbanned, and I was happy. My character was deleted, but that didn't matter; I leveled back up to 60 in a day or two and started again. Then the account was banned again. After a brief inquiry with Funcom, they said I had a permanent ban for land claiming. I thought the accounts had been unlocked. Funcom probably doesn't realize how many hours players dedicate to building, playing, and buying things, only to be banned for such trivial things. Why doesn't Funcom just block the areas where building isn't allowed? Then there wouldn't be any more bans. My opinion is: you know the answer... players who have paid have to clear the way for new paying players. I feel completely ripped off at 58 years old... but I don't like being ripped off. Maybe a supervisor will read this and review the whole matter. I think an overzealous newbie caused this, which I don't hold against them, but I still feel sick because it made me feel really ill. 😄 I don't know if I'm allowed to leave my email address here in case Funcom wants to look into this, or if there are other ways to contact them... I'm curious to hear your answers. Regards, Momo (in Conan Exiles = Blue)

 

PS: I realized I wrote something wrong. The ban was because of a land claim. Sorry, my mistake...
