wiiired Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I would like to know who closed my thread. My history and experience with Lockon was stated correctly. I asked a letigimate question. I was then insulted by Sleak. Just what do you think a geez is? I would like a reply by the system administrator. Mike Christy 1
GGTharos Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I think the last post in your closed thread explains everything. Your question should be to EG, not ED, since it's EG who handle Lock On Gold. Edit: It's EG - Evolved Games [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
wiiired Posted February 5, 2006 Author Posted February 5, 2006 Well, actually it's a Starforce problem and I followed the instructions and I am awaiting a fix by support@lockon.ru exactly as I am supposed to be. My only question was how long does support@lockon.ru usually take. That remains my question. I also have since uninstalled/reinstalled, sometimes called the dance, and it's running but I have no I idea what happened nor if it will happen again.
GGTharos Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 If it's Lock On Gold (which you still haven't answered) then it certainly is not a starforce problem, even though it may look like it. If you have a downloaded version, then you'll have to wait until after the weekend, ED isn't a 24x7 shop AFAIK.

504MrWolf Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 "yea hang on in there geez..it's worth it" "Geez" is slang and a shortening of two different words. Geez 1 = Used to express mild surprise, delight, dissatisfaction, or annoyance. Shortening and alteration of Jesus. Geez 2 = Shortening and alteration of Southern english slang Geezer. Knowing Sleek to be of southern UK origin im sure the latter of the two meanings can be used to explain his reply, although im sure he didnt mean it in the true term of "Geezer" as in calling you old, dodgy and queir. Sleek was simply pointing out that Lockon though troublesome canbe (after asking politely on these forums and recieving help from many of its respected and informative members) made in to a very worthwhile waste of ones sparetime :) Being curt, abusive, snappy and demanding will get you nothing in return and in your case had your thread locked. You should not need a SYSAdmin to explain that, it is common sence and good manners. Youve bought the Gold version and had to have a 2nd cd sent to you, this is unlucky, unfortunate and a ball-ache but your not the 1st and definatly the last. So get it installed, patched and ask us for help and we will help you start your Lockon journey as we have and willdo with others. Best Regards Wolfie www.VVS504.co.uk www.lockonskins.co.uk
SuperKungFu Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I assume its Lock On Gold, in that case... a.) it's not ED fault, it's EG b.) It's not starforce fault, it's EG Most people had to go through this problem (i did). I live in CA and it took about a week for the cd to get here since they are shipping from the east coast. And don't expect any confirmation once you sent them an e-mail. I just got one stating it would be delayed. So just sit back and relax for a while since it's worth the wait. And btw...try to be a little more mature on forums. The reason your other thread was closed because you said "screw you sleek limey." He was just saying chill out because there is going to be a waiting period, and if you haven't noticed...most people don't take "screw you" kindly. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 he wonders why his thread got locked, LOL
Sleek Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I just sent him a pm trying to explain "Geez" is short for "Geezer/Fella" ect, it's a london "cockney" slang thing..no insult intended ;) as i said tho just try and be a lil patient and u will be impressesed by lockon FC :) Be Good..Be Strong..:drink: ;)
wiiired Posted February 5, 2006 Author Posted February 5, 2006 Well, just on a couple issues. I have Lockon Gold. I haven't asked for help, only some info which was kindly now answered. Mr. Wolfloskins, I don't think SLeak needs you to speak for him. He took a shot at me, I took a shot at him. Geez is a disparaging remark and I took it as such. Also, this closed posting is getting to be the rage. Just Polyanna, please, bootlickin will be rewarded. fine line. I guess you can only insult a little. It ain't right.
SimFreak Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 6 posts and already a 30% warning… not a good start.
Tundra Dart Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 What a bunch of holier than thou bad corporate "private" club A-holes! It's obvious the guy really badly wants to play the game and is excited/frustrated/gone thru customer service/blah, blah, blah... I mean if it was me, I'd just wash my hands of the whole affair, return the thing to the store. The ones listed in the "where to buy" on this site. I did it last month with F.E.A.R. Couldn't get past install disc #2 of 5, so i exchanged it for a diff title. You can do that at stores regardless of the "exchange" policy because stores value customer/sucker allegiance, above all else. Once you get rid of the Franchise, you never give it a second thought. Now if moderator/webmaster could delete my threads/posts now, I will not complain ever, I promise... Superbowl is on, and I need some beer coasters, those two Lockon Gold discs will do.
