This is just... Wow...
« on: February 04, 2015, 06:15:48 pm »
Oi'.
Long ago I signed up for a website, but then gave it up to my brother.

Well, I wanted to see how the site was doing so I got on the old account that once belonged to me and looked at everything.
In the Off-Topic section, I saw a thread where the owner of the thread gave off opinions about FeralHeart. Other people started joining in.

What's wrong about this?
99.9% of the people who were in the thread, chatting, were dissing out FeralHeart.
Example:
(DON'T READ IF EASILY OFFENDED)
"Feral Heart has changed too much since then, downloading packs of items and maps that get unused and left. People mate begging and the people who are literally 90% female in the entire game. The lack of males and people who are female pretending to be a boy. It just.. Seriously."
"I don't hate the idea of girls with male characters infact I have a few male characters but people even deny that they are female when they have usernames like 'Ladybug101' or 'lovewolf123' (usernames similar to what I have seen). They deny it when they are sometimes serious mates. I know that its just sometimes for a roleplay but I can't help but come to think that your doing a sort of 'love scene' with a person whos said to be male. Actually they are a female behind a computer screen. Im not going to hate but I really used to love this game, is complete rubbish now :("
"People.. Ok. I just.. Im done.. 
DONE I TELL YOU!
The staff keep changing, they just sit in-game doing nothing. They can't even do anything to the game. They can't update it and just people. Come on. Be different, don't all use black wolf characters. I love black wolves but pleaaaaasee. It's too over used! If your character isn't black on there you probably wont get a mate. Unless your pink and named Wolf Queen."

Other people were saying stuff like
"I support your opinion all the way. These are also reasons I quit FeralHeart. Maybe I'll hop in after a month or two just to see if it's got worse, but that's all.
One time I was talking about the game in General chat, saying the staff really need to get under control. After that I was banned for two years. Heck, I hear from lots of people they ban the players for no reason now. And the whole registration thing not opening... I understand it's to keep others from lagging too much or getting kicked out of the game from there being too many players on at once. But, it's ridiculous for those who are wanting to join but never can because of this.
That's all. x3" (This post was from a Moderator in Training)

"Ive heard people that have gone banned for silly reasons too. I dont think the staff do their job properly and im glad to know im not the only person who thinks like this. It is super unfair for people who want to play, people asking for peoples spare accounts and I think Feral Heart should maybe delete very super inactive accounts. Open the registration, ah i dont know but the staff shouldnt be treating members like that its disgusting. "
Enough? Yeah, I think so too.
I literally only found 1 person who posted in the thread that said something nice.

I just wanted to bring this to the attention of you guys.
I understand if this thread get's locked and/or deleted or a lot of hate.

Often times these "hate" threads outside of Feral Heart are from a select few individuals who were banned and have no other way of expressing their frustration than ranting away. These individuals go to other sites to yell because they know that we do not tolerate hateful & disrespectful threads here especially when they know they were rightfully banned for poor conduct etc.

Reading through some of these quotes you've posted I can point out a number of things that are false and or wrongly exaggerated.

1.) Registration and how often it opens etc- Many users continue to fuss that registration never opens or that when it does it's only open for five minutes or less once a month. This is false because it opens numerous times within a month sometimes twice in one day or several days in a row. Although I'm unable to be on FH all day I have caught the registration open numerous times within my short spans online. When registration opens it also stays open for two hours straight. Registration was made to work this way for many reasons, one of which is to keep strain off the server from folks who think it's necessary to create 20 or more accounts. (Trust me there are many users with ridiculous amounts of accounts. Some users decide to make new usernames just because they're into some new fandom etc) This kind of thing strains the server after a while due to the amount of extra unused accounts sitting around. Think about each account and the characters saved on those accounts etc. Unnecessary data much? Indeed. So registration may seem like a slight inconvenience but it is this way to ensure that the server works well for everyone.

(Bluntly said it's not our problem if people aren't checking in often enough to catch it. It doesn't take even half a minute to check.)

Proof of my point. Here are just a few of the times I caught it last month alone:















Many of these people complaining on other sites are grossly misinformed about the way of community, game, & staff works. Most of those people spent countless hours of their FH time never going anywhere near the site and thus remaining uninformed about the true nature of the goings on of the community. These are the people that just rely on hear say and rumors for their information about FH.

It's easy to paint something out as all bad when you also only tell one side of a story. Most complaints you see online about FH are about getting banned for no reason. These people will make up some sob story like:

"I was just sitting on a rock in Fluorite and then I said nuggets and got banned for a year :( The FH mods are soo bad! They banned me for nothing! "

Whoever actually believes this nonsense is a fool. Yes I said it. You're a naive fool if you buy this kind of rubbish. No one gets banned for such stupidity. Users get banned for, disrespect & breaking rules. If you're swearing, harassing others, spreading hate, talking about explicit content, engaging in suggestive behavior, continuously spamming, bad mouthing staff or others, etc you're most likely going to get banned. When little kids get in trouble with their parents what's the first thing they always say when confronted about their poor behavior?

Did you do something bad?

"Idk." or "I didn't do anything!"

Then when they get punished:

"I hate you mom and dad!" 
-insert numerous tantrums here"

No one likes to get punished. But sadly if you're breaking rules you're telling us staff that you don't care about the community and you deserve to be punished. Never once will these people admit to what they did wrong so instead of humiliating themself by telling the truth they decide to blame their mistake on us staff.

The only reason why these people get away with their lies is because we staff respect everyone's privacy and we try to stay professional by not publicly revealing the context behind their bans with incriminating screenshots etc. If this was done we'd see quite another story than what so many try to make you believe.

Another reason for these "banned for no reason" complaints is because on rare occasions glitches, trouble shooting, faulty accounts, improperly activated accounts, or connections to other accounts can cause bans on innocent peoples' accounts. In these cases if these people would come to us staff to address the issue rather then ranting we could possible resolve their bans. It's sad that so many impatient people automatically blame us for an issue we did not cause because as I've said before,

We DO NOT ban people for no reason. All bans have valid and logical reasons as do their lengths.

While no community or staff team is perfect I can guarantee you that ours is NOT corrupt or uncaring as some will try to make you believe.

So the point in all this really is it is great to stay informed about what goes on and there is nothing wrong with sharing opinions etc but do not be naive and believe everything you read out there. Look to credible sources. Find things out for yourself and create your own ideas about things.

Do not eat people's waste.

(This is a general statement btw not just directed at you)

Well explained.
I was going to comment in the thread about some of their false information but decided not to for the best (I've been in enough fights throughout the 19 years old my life).

Most of these things I was thinking in my head, you've said. <3

Sura's quote says it all. So does the whole post, really, but this one in particular just kinda needs to be reiterated. Repeatedly. (In neon lights).

So.. Yeah. Standard internet drama from upset young'ns toward an online animal game. What can ya do~? ::) But if they dislike FH so much, then perhaps they're better off going somewhere that makes them happier. Until then, the rest of us will be here making the game and community a better place.

Nicely said, WhiteLightHeart.

I truly hate how much negativity they were saying towards FeralHeart and their false information.

Honestly, the forum is still a better place to be at than the game, maybe because things here get dealed with more quickly than in-game. But that's only my view, correct me if I'm wrong.

Neither I think this thread would go towards any hate. Every opinion should be spoken out to fill the mind of every person who dealed with misleaded information. It's a good reminder.
Simple, if zombies were likely to exist and eat brains, people like that are safe.

I'd still agree with Sura on this!

My in-game username is actually WolfQueen lmfao. :x

People will have their own opinions about Feralheart. There is nothing you can change about that. People can hate the game all they want. It really doesn't matter. FH isn't the most perfect game ever and not everyone HAS to like it. The game isn't required for everyone to enjoy.

This doesn't really bother me too much. I hear people bash FH quite a bit on ocassions. And, like the two above me said, opinions are opinions. If they knew the truth behind everything that goes on they would change, but I used to be like them, then I got on the forum, and that made EVERYTHING different! o-o But hey, if they hate it, there is't much we can do but either fight back, which is usually what I do lol, or just...just....let it goooo let it goooo jklol
