The realm online

[lawitt91]

has anyone tried getting back onto the realm online since the start of 2016? for a few weeks I've tried to reactivate my old account and wasn't able to get onto the main website then a few week ago the page was up but subscription pages wouldn't load I've tried e-mailing the support people without any luck. so i was wondering is this happening to anyone else? or is it only on my side.

It's everyone. When the page first came back up after an 'extended' time down, subs worked for appr 12 hrs. I managed to create a new acct during that time before it went back down. If I'd had any idea it was going to go back down, I would have got 2 or 3 more while I was at it. At least then I could have given some of the people here a way to get in while subs were down. Hindsight is always 20/20 as they say.

anyone have an idea when it might be back up?

Think up a reasonable time frame then multiply it by 60.

Don't you guys worry about renewing a zillion accounts, then having it go down again and keep billing your CC without being able to cancel it? I would never give them any personal information ever again.

Will it process your payment that fast so that you get 30 days of play time before it cancels it? I don't know. I don't want to support NG or encourage them in any way. People renewing their accounts because of this project might cause NG to double or triple their price for the IP.

Not really, because when that happens I can get a new card and/or contest the charges with my bank. In this case I used my paypal debit card, and most of us know how easy it is to fix such things with paypal.....I wouldn't even have to cancel the card in that situation.

Failing that, getting a prepaid debit card also works; can't charge when it's not there. While I don't support NG, I'm really not there for NG. I'm there because I want to play, and I'm there for what community is left.

All you have to do is tell your bank to block payment to them, that is what I had to do to cancel my accounts. As for starting a new account, this I suspect is the death nell of TRO.
The main web site was down for like 6 to 8 weeks before the billing page went down, then by "chance" when it was mentioned in game chat that the billing page could be reached w/o the main page being up , the billing page went down the next day...

I'm with @Kayley on this one... If you're still supporting NG by paying your $7.99 or whatever it is now... Just to be part of that community... Get those folks on this forum and give that money that you would spend on the subscription toward the GoFundMe.... You keep paying them, you're just giving them more reason to either hang onto the game, or increase the asking price for the IP...

[lawitt91]

the realm is totaly back up as of today. if anyone wanted to know.

[DragnDave]

Except the billing declines credit cards that are perfectly fine. But yeah.

[lawitt91]

i just used mine are you sure you didn't mess up something or maybe your bank said no on it?

[DragnDave]

Nope. Keeps telling me the card is expired when it's not. I even went to the local gas station and bought a 6 pack to prove it wrong!

[lawitt91]

i'm sorry i'm out of ideas then... sorry

[DragnDave]

It's ok. My personal account is 13 days past due at this point.

[Ghazban]

Keeps telling me my credit card is expired too. It doesn't expire until 2019

It also says I created my account in 2000, but I started in 1997.

Wondering if it's related to the account, not the card?
