Wow banning 8,000 over a five year period and refunding $3000.00 last year doesn't inspire confidence in a pay to play game. A good Admin with a well run game would be ashamed of letting out that information.
This game is a game of numbers, the biggest, best, most and as everyone knows quality is far better than quantity when you are paying.
Everything on the game pushes you to become a paying player with either 1 or a multitude of kennels. You then try to breed something that isn't considered 'rubbish' this pushes you to join the ranks of the puppy millers and you can run your own puppy mill.
Rules of the game are very unclear and change to the whim of Mr Schroeder. Banning suspension and fines are dished out with reasons being unclear. Some fines have been computer generated and here it is faulty programming.
This game does not evolve as most good pay to play games do. Sure things have been added but the only reason seems to be to get players paying for more kennels. Colours for instance add nothing to breeding, raising and showing a dog as colours aren't taken into account. Obedience was added some time ago and is stuck in it's own 'time warp'.
While Mr Schroeder plays with these new additions to the game there are glitches (dogs not fed, show payouts missing and even the deletion of a complete show).
Mr Schroeder posted on a forum 'this is my game and I will do what I want' this he does by having no customer care, treating some players as no counts and being rude to those he believes he can bully. The reason he gets dissattisfied customers to call him rather than he call them is so that he can have the upper hand of his demand being met.
Any ideas or critiscism of the game and you are likely to be banned. Because the game is addictive he believes he can keep everyone under control with the fear of being thrown off. Posting on a forum because he has failed to answer an e'mail brings little crys from a few players of 'leave the poor boy alone' 'poor Jeff has so much to do'
When you run a game like this and charge folk playing it should be professionsl, well run with at least polite responses to e-mails.
As this game works so much on biggest, most and the more you have the better you are he is happy to lose 1 paying kennel rather than a few paying kennels. It is not always the player in the wrong who is penalized.
He does have a lot of kennels but many are empty or abandoned. The programming is as basic as my old spectrum and just a few minuites thought shows how predictable the game is.
I too saw the kennels that proclaimed 'flush it down the loo' and another 'bake it in a pie'
Mr Schroeder has also stated 'in this game there are winners and losers' He has never clarified the meaning of this. I take it that he is the winner and the paying customers the losers.
