Devs! Don't EVER do this to me again if you want to keep me as a paying customer! I'm an altaholic and have many toons. Now I have to go through the whole rigamaroll on every single one of them. To those of you who say "quit whining and just /mail_clear", has it occurred to you that perhaps some of us have some messages we would like to keep? We shouldn't have to empty our mailboxes to get rid of a SPAM message from the devs that we never should have gotten in the first place.
This is an extremely tacky and distasteful way of marketing and just screams of desperation from daybreak's side. When I see something like this i'm more inclined not to purchase it on principle. If you want to advertise on the welcome to EQ2 window, launchpad, website, etc. then that's one thing, but sending out a mass mail to everyone on every server with a very misleading attachment that just redirects you to the site is a very repulsive obnoxious move on your part. On top of that you can't delete it without clearing all your mail or opening it up and being redirected to website. Some of us like to keep our mailbox clean and don't necessarily want to delete all our mail or open it up on every alt just to get rid of this trash. WTG daybreak for annoying your ALREADY paying customers.
Safe to say that if one hasn't logged in since September that their mailbox would be full? Good, I don't care for those telemarketers anyhow.
I would love to see all the comments that were typed out to send back in that in game mail. I know I was disappointed when I hit the reply key and it wouldn't send my reply.
Thanks, all, for letting me know about that before I tried; saved me some more aggravation. ;-> Uwk still working on it; only.......4 more servers worth of toons to go, not counting the handful on the TLE servers (is it there, too? Or are our kids free of that?) X-P
Heh, most folks in my Guild did not even know they had them. They get tired of my Guild Mails, reminding them of special events or "please be sure to harvest"

Like devs know how to keep people entertained and sticking around to keep on getting their paychecks and staying employed?
I'm just enjoying the lol factor. This thread is hilarious and a bit beyond petty. Perhaps you should in fact, find a new game to play. OMG they sent me SPAM, I'll let them have it. /rolls eyes.
6 acts - 2 Full access, 1 Silver (grand-dad), 3 free - 47 characters - Yes I mulitbox sometimes and have no problem with this marketing Like I said, it should have been for each toon and I probably would have bought 1 for each full access account. But, alas it's not so I won't.
