*********************
I met this player. Disappointed over Travian’s way to handle all jams that have been since the beginning. And the resource bug ended his patience.
This is a true story about what happens if you really claims your money back.
Darren
This whole episode started shortly after the resource bug came to light. A few players in the alliance spotted it and, sadly, abused it. It soon became clear that it allowed certain players (not all) to gold up buildings and yet receive back the resources spent in the building process.
The bug only lasted a few hours but in that time those players were able to increase their CAP crop fields from 10’s to 15’s and 16’s, something which would normally take a few weeks at least.
This is on top of the event jams we’ve all experienced since early on in the game.
So, I asked Support what was being done about it. I was told to contact TG HQ which I did but several days and emails later, I still had no response.
In the end I decided that if nothing was being done then there was no point playing in a biased server so I raised a dispute with PayPal on all the deposits I’ve made so far.
At last a email that got the HQs attention.
Hi
I emailed Travian HQ several times about the resource bug and did not get a single reply. This constant innability or reluctance to resolve this mess has left me with no choice than to quit the game and raise a payment dispute with PayPal..

Darren Anscombe
The answer (which not can be quoted) shortly says that the earlier messages with complaints can’t be remembered.
Happy over the first response I forwarded my complaints again. searching justice.
Hello,
As I am sure you are aware there have been numerous tech problems with the 2012 Championship server, the latest being the resource glitch during the last maintenance upgrade.
I would like to know why this has not been resolved yet. If players have abused a known bug then they have violated the rules and should be punished. At the very least a server roll-back should happen, again, in line with the advice given by yourselves when you click on 00:00:0? link.
I look forward to receiving a speedy reply.
Kind regards
Darren Anscombe
The most surprising thing in the answer is that it claims that players that have abused the rules have been punished.
A bit irritated over what seemed to be a pure lie I typed the next mail.
In what way were they punished ? I know of 3 people from my last alliance that seriously abused the bug and haven’t received any punishment at all so what are you basing this on ?
If this is the case, why has it not been reported in the forum ? I’m sorry but I do not believe you at all. In any case, this server is not fit-for-purpose and never has been since the beginning.
I have now upgraded to a full claim with PayPal since it is clear TG are unwilling to provide an adequate service.
Regards
Darren
The account received an instant ban. Since it’s a automatic message like those who comes with registration it should be ok to quote.

Darren: Either the support staff are lying or their “superiors” have told them a lie. Either way, this is unacceptable. I raised the PayPal dispute to a full claim and received notification today that the claim was successful.
If this was a normal server then I would be ticked off. But this isn’t a normal server. It’s a Championship server with cash and prizes to be won. If TG can’t abide by their own rules (ie, abusing a known bug is cheating and will be punished) then how can they expect everyone else to follow-suit ? This whole server is untenable, on the verge of fraudulent and should either be terminated with full refunds for everyone, or a rollback to before the bug happened.
In that case why bother playing any server if Travian will do whatever they feel they can get away with ? Fools will always be fools. I have my money back and will never play again. You can all do whatever you want.
Who is the fool in this situation ?
