So we know about the past horror stories of some people talking about how they had multiple monthly charges for a single subscription, or how some people were charged even after the billing service came down and they were told they wouldn’t be charged, but how about this on for size, folks; some people are […]

Go ahead. Guess. Yep. For some reason someone at Cryptic Studios thought hiring Bill Roper was a good idea. Uh, no. Why, you may ask?

Was this really shocking? I suppose it was only a matter of time, what with all 20 people playing on the Alliance server. But yes, the step-child that has been locked in the broom closet for nearly a year now is finally being thrown onto the street now. IAHGames wrote a nice statement—-the first statement […]
