Regarding the Sale of IGEFollow

So are the folks who dropped paying for the site, going to sign back up now ?

I know you can not answer that but alot of posters said since the site was associated with IGE they stopped paying for Alla. I was just curious what those folks are going to do now?

Thanks for the update on stuff, Alla! :D


In before dramas.

What do you mean nothing changed? Now I can update the site without falling asleep while waiting for pages to load.

So as I understand it I will no longer be able to say...






I still will

Meh, I didn't care much either way.

I've been touch-and-go with the Alla site since I came in. Not because of it's business reputation or it's non-existent ties to gilselling. If I had such opposition to that, I wouldn't post in KI.


No, my points against the site were that parts were glitchly, the information was flawed, the majority of people were ********, and moderation was terrible.

I could over look the second to last part.

But nowadays, thanks to Pikko, and Imperial helping out Exo, things have turned around nicely, and a lot of the issues have been resolved. I'm glad these stupid 'ties to IGE' have been severed so the stupid association can be dispelled.

Anyways, things like improving a site is an ongoing and never ending journey. Good luck in future endeavors.

Meh.

The shock and awe that Zam.com promised still hasn't arrived. WoW reader has been eclipsed by The Armory. EQ2reader has been promised for 5 months now pending artwork for the sig. WoWhead is more functional and they are even starting to beat y'all in certain areas in terms of quest information. The promise of Allakhazam premium working on Thotbot hasn't happened (too my knowledge).

Kudos on the servers being stable, except for the times they crash. The gamestop/allakhazam premium thing which never really happened. The rapidly aging interface. Oh and the horrible stigma that will continue to be part of the site despite Affinity selling IGE, because you were too shady to be open and transparent about ownership until after the fact.

Cause I have been posting here for 4 years now you thick cnut.



Besides aesthetic appeal, I can tell you logged out in Shadowform and a couple other nifty things.



But it is still an issue, regardless of whether it affects you or not.



Other than faster load times, easier to access info, better search function? Well type in "ravaged caravan" on WoWhead. Then look on Allakhazam. Notice what is missing. One example, becoming all too regular though.



Allakhazam wrote - Your membership just got significantly more valuable. If you play World of Warcraft, your Allakhazam premium membership will soon allow you to use some exciting new features on not just our site, but Thottbot as well.

It seems to me that you are the one trying to stir things up by slandering me by saying that I make false claims. /shrug



While they are not as common as before they do crash. I believe there was one last week.



Obviously, you come off as ignorant. Gamestop and Alla had a deal where people buying TBC and other MMO's at Gamestop retail locations were supposed to get 1 month free premium. It was a complete clstr f'uck that didnt happen.



That is because your head is up your own ***. If you haven't seen the massive drubbing that Alla took on a number of MMO boards both official and non official then you need to pull your thumb out of your *** and put it onto the pulse of the MMO community. This could have been easily avoided if Alla had been more open and forthright with information. Now they have a year of bad publicity to live down that a simple sale of IGE will never cure.

So is it safe to say everything in Brael's post HERE has nothing to do with Allakhazam.com? As in there's no past or present IGE/Ogaming/Thottbott nitwits still cashing zam.com paychecks? or was simply the name "ige dot com" sold and the pack leaders of old are still in control?

Ok and just what I said, I don't see it. I see plenty of new posters here on Allakhazam.


Well what does that tell you though that you could not tell by my Talent Tree.



Yes I do see that search issue for this one quest. It is easly findable by searching for the Quest Givers name. Every site will have it's glitches.





I have not slandered you at all. You yourself wrote So you don't know if it was working or not, but you felt it was worthy to bring up something you did not know.



The only thing I saw was site maintance going on, longer then was expected, but that is all I saw.



Why do I come off a ignorant, I asked a question about something I did not know, or I did not completly understand what you were refering to. I was always told there is no stupid question.



My head is not up my ***, I simply asked some questions and posted my own feelings on a few things you had typed out. As for the pulse of the MMO community, that is mainly personal feelings about what went on. No one knows for sure except for the people involved. Why some details were keep quiet, is up to them. There were many folks here who defended Alla and how things were done, it all came down to personal feelings on the subject. I read that nothing about the site would change, even though the were under the umbrella with IGE, and nothing did change to this site that I could see.

Allakhazam will make changes to the site when they can and when they feel it is needed. We can suggest changes for the site but they may or may not happen. I'm still pleased with Allakhazam and all the site has to offer me.

With IGE being sold off, is it likely that Allakhazam.com (or "Zam.com") is likely to be sold off too in the future to another entity?

Edited because apparently IGE (dot) com is bad-worded.
