EDIT: Please don't take this thread so harshly, as it's a long story on why it's here right now. Most of the reason would be bethySue's thread, so if you don't know about that, go check it out now. It's making the community band together. Anyways, I am taking a small break, and I may have put this harshly in this post, but I gave KI a few things they could fix up. Don't take this the wrong way, thanks!!!
Hey everyone, my subscription runs out this month and there will be no renewing. I could renew it, but there feels no reason to. Why? Many reasons, I hope you don't mind me quickly going over.
I have been on this game for years, yet I found that this past year has had the most rude new generation to the game I have ever seen. I know Kingsisle can't control it, but this is ridiculous! I have never seen anything like it. Even if you're just standing randomly in the Commons, you'll probably fall under some act of rudeness, or even accidentally get into some big drama. JUST BY STANDING THERE!
I have also found Kingsisle's new updates rather… dull. The first storyline with Malistare was amazing, and I understand it had to end at one point, but why did you lose that amazing storyline in Morganthe? Morganthe doesn't feel nearly as evil, and most of the time I am confused as to what is going on. Malistare had a much more personal life, with his wife being gone, and the origin made the story that much better. Where is that again?
HOARD PACKS
I cannot tell you the countless times i'll get excited for an update then see it's yet ANOTHER Hoard Pack. I see that it makes money Kingsisle, but seriously?!?! Isn't there like 10 right now (Just speculating)??? They removed an update a couple years ago called wishing wells and it was where you threw in some crowns and may get a lousy prize or a very good one. How are Hoard Packs no worse than Wishing Wells? It's Gambling, and I don't mean to complain, but I feel i'm at a casino when entering the crowns shop.
Open Chat has gotten out of hand, as it is so simple to change your age. Now there are many small kids who are learning new words and saying them aloud, and even WITHOUT the filter, there's a way. I think that is just terrible that people are so eager as to find a way to cuss around filters.
In all due respect KI, you are more of a "baby stage" game. What I mean by that is, you haven't been here as long as other MMORPG'S, so I respect your mistakes and also respect how many players you have gotten in a couple years. I understand humans make mistakes, but please, listen to this feedback and at least try to fix it. Someday, i'll check up on the game. And when I do, I hope that I'll wanna come right back to it.
Bye everyone, and so long! Hopefully we will meet again in a year or two, or maybe sooner! I can't be away from this game too long haha!

The Hoard Packs are optional you know.
And besides, about the rudeness I think you should check out the thread Rudeness/Attitude of Players. There are many adults, grandparents and even kids themselves who have joined up to stop the language that is flying around this game like wildfire.
I totally agree with the OP about the games deterioration. My regret is before this all really hit the fan, so to speak, I renewed for a yearly membership on 3 accounts and shortly after wish I had kept it by the month so I to could just stop paying and playing for a while. The change in the game is a bit over whelming. It is more like out with the original players and in with the new ones.
I did join the game for the family part and stress free, after the Malistaire arc that does seem to be lost.
For now I mainly only play my wizards up to the end of the original story line, I avoid all common areas and still have had to report or defend now and then, refuse all friends requests and I don't expect as much out of the game if I don't pay extra for it.
I am totally grateful that my grand-kids lost interest and do not play any more as I know they learned stuff in the game I was not happy with and I don't have to police them any more.
What bothers me the most about this is the reality that these people are the ones taking over the earth and it's sad that respect for others has just gone out the window.
I can not say anything about the game Storyline, I personally love the storyline and don't see it deteriorating in any way.
As far as the Hoard Packs, KI is still a business. The only really good things in the packs are the Wands, which are better than any you can get in the game or crown shop. Some of the pets are nice, but, you can always get those in the hatchery.
I am on a very limited budget, I can not afford the finer things. However, I have many wonderful things and great friends. So, I don't mind the Hoard Packs at all.
Now, on to your first and foremost complaint. Yes, the community has been at an all time worst. However, movements are being made. The community is joining together to clean up the spiral. It will not happen over night, but the word will spread, the restrictions are given out, and kids, teens, & adults will learn that it is Not acceptable to curse, bully, or be inappropriate in any common area.
I hope you will think about it and maybe join the cause to clean up the spiral because everyone is needed in this effort.
I am an adult player of the game. I understand your frustration with all the rudeness that many of the youths cause. However, I truly enjoy playing this game and I'm not about to let any rude person ruin it for me. You have to take the good with he bad. Kings Isle is doing a good job with the game. I can't even imagine all the hard work that goes into the production of this game. Not to mention the fact that the game has been expanded overseas, so I'm sure that makes it more complicated. I think you need to look at "the big picture"here. As for the horde packs if you don't want them, don't buy them. I guess a a parent I've learned to "tune" the unpleasant things out.as for me I will be playing this game for a long time. Sorry to see you go but maybe if you try to consider the good and tune out the bad you might change your mind. Kings Isle can't please everybody so the things we don't like we learn to deal with.
Hunteray09, I can't really say much as yet on the Morganthe line as I have not finished it yet. Actually my 2 highest level wizards are in the Drum Jungle, and it is hard for me on an older computer to run when all the kids are out of school.
As for the Hoard packs, I rarely ever buy one because like Darthjt, I too am on a limited income, so am very careful of even buying crowns which is rare.
As Darthjt and Ionya have already told you, there is a movement to clean the game up. We need all the members that agree with this to join us in this undertaking. It is going to take time but we will PERSEVERE and we will win.
Ionya, mentioned a thread in this same forum called "Rudeness/Attitudes of Players". I would like to ask you to go to that topic and look at what is taking place. Some of the posts that are more recent will also give you a link to another one on Central.
We would very much like for you to join us. There are others of our friends that have considered quiting as well but for now, they are helping with this quest that we have voluntarily taken on. Each of us had made new friends and although we would like for the group to expand faster, even getting the work out to others is taking time.
Please think about it. What you decide is up to you.

Thanks for the feedback darthjt. I have helped with the cause after reading the one thread that is now spreading across the community apparently. I read it when it was new and I 100% agree with it. My comment on the storyline was, it just seems to get more complicated. Malistare wanted to avenge his wife and use the dragon titan's power. Morganthe… is much more complicated.
I also want to note that no I am not fully leaving the game. I am going to play for free, so I can still meet up with friends. Sadly this means I won't be able to post on here till I play again. (I will play again too, just when things calm down to a lower stage.)

I understand your point of view, I posted without thinking on this advice. I love Kingsisle, they are my favorite game company, and part of the reason I quit wizards was to join Pirate101. Pirate101 will be a new game, and i'm sure will rack in many players. But it being new, maybe these problems won't be present. Yet. I will deeply miss wizards, but like I said, i'm not leaving forever, just a… break. Whether it be a month or a year, it won't be long before I come back. I just wanted to give feedback before I took a break. That's all.
Well I have only been here for a few months, so I cannot comment on the past. I do like the Mallistaire arc better, but I am not sure if it was the "newness" of the game at that time. I bought some hoard packs. (sea dragon). The gear helped, but not that much. Definitely not needed, especially at higher levels.
The rudeness I first witnessed in Krok, where a kid came up begging for gifts and then was unhappy with my denial. It has gotten worse, and the teen/tween/creepy old guy dating game is the worst for me. I can overlook some blowing off steam swear words, especially in battle. The commons/dye shop stuff and the people testing the bounds of KI is what gets me reporting.
Sorry to see you go, as any wizard who posts here is okay in my book. You took the time to say your piece and bowed out. Check back when you can, as I think that the Morganthe arc will smooth out, and we will quash the rampant mob behavior of our beloved Wizard City.
The game most certainly has been deteriorating. But, for me, the story has nothing to do with it.
Mobs now start with 8-14 pips. They critical on a very regular and frequent basis, and have what seems like 100% critical block.
So, exactly how is the next world going to look? 100% critical? Half pip cost for enemy spells so they can be more "challanging"? Which people seem to absolutely love by the way.
This game, I thought, was 100% casual and family. This game is still family sure, but definitely NOT casual. You play casually for just a second in Celestia+ and you will be in a world of hurt and frustration.
Prime example is Belloq and the even worse Jabberwock. Just absolute craziness that does not need to be there. I actually told myself I would stop ranting about it, so, I will stop it here before I get carried away and ramble on and on.
But, that is my reason why this game is deteriorating.
i just wanted to say i have been playing for 6 months now and have not seen any of ye thibgs said. mabye i am just lucky or mabye its because i dont hang in the commons to much. i wod also like to say tht i am a teen and i am very nice and am aloways willing to help ppl and i dont apprechiate it when ppl judge all teens
I agree with Ionya and JT~ that rudeness thread has inspired quite the movement over on Central, and I think you'd fit right in. So, if you stick around (or come back), you're more than welcome to join in!
I like the old storyline better, too, because the quality of writing was just... jaw-droppingly perfect. Speaking as a writer, it was so easy to love that arc, and the characters... a part of my heart will always belong to Malistaire and Sylvia; Morganthe hasn't won me over yet, but I'm hoping that will change.
Hoard packs... I love them, and I hate that I love them. :P But I don't buy them often, as I'm running out of space in my castles.
We can't force you to stay or go, but we hope that you'll reconsider leaving~ with a movement this huge, things can only get better. ;) Either way, best of luck!

As I have said in various different posts ... What on earth do you want KI to do??? Just try making a game outa thin air and expect 20 million or whatever people like it! It's inceasingly hard. As for the rudeness tough luck you can deal with it your not a baby and your mature enough to deal with it. As for gambling I agree I wasted allot of money but HEY! I knew what I was in for KI need money you do realize so they make profit from packs. I dont know a single person in the game that hasn't bought something from the crown shop! Besides they made the game for money and fun.
If yah don't renew your membership boo hoo honestly no one really cares I know I don't and your leaving a brilliant game. Just try and make a life size Lego house with tiny pieces! This is exactly like that! One brick is out of place that's a brick they need to fix and they will work on it one brick outa place could result in the house falling down which means wrecking the game in wizard terms Now I hope you wont quit ts your loss if you do. Wake up an smell the sunflowers matey it's an excellent game and just deal with it. I guarantee there's no better game! I wasn't trying to be harsh just helpfulFred Boomflame Level 74 pyromancer Cya in the spiral
Sorry for spelling and gramma mistakes tehehe
Seriously???? Tough Luck on the rudeness???? I am sorry but that is just what you are being. Rude. Did it occur to you that Hunter may have a young family member that has been playing and does not want them seeing the foul language that is happeing?
KI did a wonderful job on creating this game, but there are a few things that have gotten out of control and need to be FIXED!!!!!. Many of us play and have been for a long time to have fun and relax after a long day.
No one will miss HUNTER????. Actually, many of us will. Some of us have known Hunter on the boards and/or in the game for a long time. It is really not fun to lose friends in either place.
You may be the one that needs to wake up. As paying members, we don't have to deal with the foul language and other suggestive comments. KI gave us the tools to use for this purpose. Granted there are some other problems in the game that need to be fixed but right now, for many of us, that takes second seat to the RUDENESS.
You, don't mean to sound Harsh? Your post here and on the other topic I have read certainly come across un-necessarily harsh.

I'm sorry, but I don't think your understanding my statements. It is simply called player feedback and my own opinion. I am quitting for a BREAK which we all need once in awhile. This movement against rude players has really come to heart with me so I am hoping a break will solve this for me, and by the time I get back, the movement will have won over. I didn't make this thread to make a big deal about my leaving. I simply stated some issues that KI could focus on in their free time. Yes, it's a great game. I agree! But what most of you aren't understanding is, I am quitting because I needed a break. And before I was to take a break, I was going to tell KI what would make the game even better. Maybe I said it harshly, I don't know. But it is player feedback and I am not quitting forever. So sir, please calm down, and no, not one player leaving will cause my life or the whole game to "collapse". That is ridiculous in itself. I think some are taking the game way too seriously. Please, understand what i'm trying to say here.
