Yep, Allakhazam is now owned by the gold-selling giant, IGE. They were bought out by IGE (or IGE's mother company, rather), not the other way around, as the original post seems to imply.

I suggest you all read the Azzor Article.

No you don't. You sound like whiney, gibbering morons that seem to give more a crap about a video game than real world problems, like wars, genocides, and environmental disasters.

Yes, I know about google ads, but I thought they'd gotten rid of those on alla...

From this statement I have a lot more to worry about. They bought ALL your assets. It is owned by them. Alla wont sell your information because they don't have to. It is OWNed by IGE now because you sold the business which includes the data.

The company I work for bought a competitor about 2 years ago. If we had asked to buy their client data before we took them over, they would have laughed at us and yes they did have a privacy notice. The notice was not violated since we bought them out lock stock and barrel. They became part of our organization and thus we got all their client information.

Even though it is probably too late to keep my information from IGE now, I am sure going to try. I am canceling my premium subscription and changing all my information. I trusted Alla and I feel really violated by this.

first.

PARADOX.UNIVERSE ENDS.

I hate I hate I hate gilsellers and now I hate you too Zam.com I hope u get worms...the interweb kind. I'm packing up and moving away from the forums here congrats.

This topic is sooooo last night.

Indeed


Hope it's the last we see here in this forum.


Oh wait, there's always the karma threads.

I'm really sorry Alla, Illia and Ag... I’ve met you guys in person at fan faire and played extensively with two of you in game. I consider you guys friend but if all of this is true, or not, I cannot in good conscious give my money to those who would support platinum sellers directly or indirectly.

A company that allows and enables its affiliates to hack into guild websites to get account information is disgusting. But then to break into several game accounts only to transfer the currency and other high value items off to sell is ... sorry I don't have a word to describe the feelings I have for someone who would do something as unscrupulous as this. The above is just one of many tactics they use to get platinum to sell.

I have canceled my auto renew but it seems it just renewed a couple of days ago. *sigh*

Billing Settings:
Renewal Date: 2007-04-29
Auto Renew: Off

Again I’m really sorry. For a long time I have been a premium subscriber. I am truly sad to see it end like this. I really thought I was making a donation to something that was a benefit to the gaming community. I hope in the end things work out for you guys. Since you have my money already have a round of Guinness on me, I don't want it going anywhere near your parent company.

Take care,

Vel

karma???

You know who's view on this I'd really like to see...the people from SE that have visited these boards in the past to get feedback/ideas/opinions of gamers.

I find it hard to believe that SE will look positively on this supposed "for-a-good-cause" buyout. *shrug*

Anyways... for Alla for definately stirring up the biggest firestorm this site has seen for a long time.
