Now first off, let me state that I'm using the trail client right now, and I'm really loving it. Its nice to see an MMORPG that isn't about a Tolkien-esque world of knights, trolls, and warlocks, and I plan on buying the full game ASAP... but thats not what I'm typing this up for.

You see, I'm getting a really bizarre graphical error. No matter which server I log onto, Im getting this strange effect with the ground.... it won't stay in place. In other words, my avatar is almost constantly running knee or possibly waist deep in asphalt and pavement. The severity of the error seems to change depending on the camera angle and whether or not my avatar is actually moving.

So, I've got two questions concerning this. One, ihas anyone ever had this problem before? And two, how can I fix it? I'm running the game on Vista, nearly 20 gigs of open memory, 2 gigs of RAM, and an ATI Radeon X1270 graphics card.

Did I just hallucinate this, or is it true? Nobody ever went there unless they had to or were collecting badges, back in the day.

It doesn't fit. It is a WINTER event, or with special occasions.

Good day.

I feel for you in having difficulty with Customer Support. I've had several experiences lately with CS while playing the game, and while every encounter I've had was resolved satisfactorily (in most cases very quickly) it was still frustrating. A portion of my frustration may be because my play time is so limited that spending time waiting for Customer Support is like nails on a chalkboard, but that is a personal issue.

There are a few things I try to remember however, every time that I am dealing with customer support that makes the whole experience much more easy to deal with.

1) CS is incredibly busy, especially if you play during peak hours. I can take a break and check my market bids every so often throughout the day as long as I'm not super busy, they can't.

2) The standard list of questions is there because it works. While it may not be necessary for many interactions, it's been tried and true to significantly address a large portion of issues that arise. I have to answer the same questions when I interact with CS as you folks do, and most of the time (although not all) I know exactly whats going on.

3) Communication in written format is difficult, especially when there is a heavy use of jargon and slang. The language used is changing and heavily relies on somewhat obscure acronyms. Make sure to explain things as clearly and concisely as possible, and always try to explain things as if you were doing so to someone who has never played the game before. While our GM's are familiar with our game, MoSTF is not necessarily how we refer to it internally.

4) Lower tiers of support do not have the same latitude in addressing issues that higher tiers of support have. That means that getting issues addressed that are more complicated or difficult to resolve takes longer. Always ask yourself if the fix of the situation is worth your time.

5) When you have to contact support, and then wait for a while, you are probably not happy. The GM you have contacted may be finishing an 8 hour shift after dealing with dozens of people who have been a little peeved. And by a little peeved, I'm slightly understating things, similar to calling the invasion of Normandy a minor fracas.

6) If you do have a negative interaction, it is important for our feedback process for us to understand why (and correct the issue if appropriate and possible). Escalating the matter to a higher level of support or contacting support through email for a more full examination of the interaction is appropriate. Identifying trouble areas is key to any improvement in process.

Hope this advice helps a bit,
