ya i guess i can
amazon already shutting down their own mmo why the hell would they take on this mess
Why is @idle siren still in the Discord.
@desert ivy Ok, sure. You're arguing semantics. Not A programmer, but you still couldn't hire enough people in 5 years while raking in millions through kickstarter & your stupid, now useless, art MTXs. You scammed people. There is NO WAY you couldn't hit 200 in a year let alone 5. You were raking in an indie dev's wet dream in money monthly and you didn't even need to selll anything. Maybe don't overreach & try headhunting top studios instead of staying in your price range
Of course they could have hired 200 people in a year, but not the necessary people.
I could put up $10k right now to hire 100 people from India to make me some art, doesn't mean it'd be good (or acceptable) quality
Also use #1467727992619798702 to talk without a timer 
Just woke up to hear the news.
Does anyone have a links / more info? How long are servers staying up?
Make the game open CODE so we can create private servers PLEASE
@potent thunder <@&519722995778977812> <@&542059693779058748> Is there going to be an update sometime? The radio silence isnt what i would call consumer friendly. After all you have people here who just recently bought the game with your Steam release.
I mean im here for the Drama dont care about ashes at all Yall funny as fuck
Dad?
Everyone expects everything to be done in a flash
@idle siren join vc
Hello, friends!
Thank you for waiting so long for my reply. Now I'm ready to tell you the whole truth about Ashes of Creation.
The thing is, I'm gay, yes, that's why I love scamming people out of money. This MMORPG was never supposed to be released. The Steam launch is only needed to raise even more money before it shuts down. My husband and I want to go on a year-long vacation to the Maldives and indulge ourselves in every luxury.
As you can see, the situation is very complicated. I'm glad you spent all your money. Of course, Steam won't give you any refunds. I feel very sorry for you, I apologize.
The news about the board of directors was true. My husband (the second director of this company besides me) really wanted to take a vacation, so I had to quit.

@idle siren
No investor wants to put their money into a new dev venture for mmorpgs that aren't highly monetized. Let's be real with our selves for a moment.
It's confirmed. Ongoing negotiations between new board and Steven to continue the project as is with minor displacement of workforce to the east to cut labor costs
When is the dual class system getting released?
Source: My ass
guys I RMTed like a fucking hell, no ban sadly
Same lol
Well phillipines is not longer actual, atm they want to shut it completely down.
where did u get that info?
guy the servers are still up, come play enjoy it while we can 😄 also i need gold and mats
ok so I just purchased the game
Refound
steven smells like me taint
Can't wait for the development update livestream, I wonder what's expected to come.
You are not, stop being so hard on yourself.
Wow. Extremely closed minded. How are some of you so unaccepting of people that aren't straight?! What year are you in? Extremely nasty messages in here.
I wouldn't waste a minute till something really happenes
The trolling be real.

MOSHI MOSHI BAIT DESU

thats what i say since years, woke left liberal millennials with 5 different flags and genders in their bio gets hired cause of diversity and good boy points on twitter, what you get are games like dragon age 2, forsaken, gollum etc.. the real games come from china, they dont care about that woke and gay shit, and keep their world view out of their games.
So this game will never be released?
At what point does Steam remove it from their the site? Just curious
I was playing yesterday, less people but it’s still a fun game. Combat is dope. The corruption system isn’t great as is. Hope it somehow makes a turn around. This community will make that hard for sure. Im just glad im not a backer and only found out about the game recently so im not as hurt as some people. Sucks tho still
Is the game shutting down today? I know that what I was hearing.
The sad part is that we’ve been waiting for this game for so long. Speaking for myself, I was really hoping the game would make it. I hope they can fix things between themselves and that it’s not too late
I’d like an official announcement from intrepid, or whoever intrepid is now. The player base deserves to know what next steps are.
eww top down, no thanks
scames of creation
A second plane has hit Intrepid Studios

@idle siren
wtf
Still no answers is wild, typical of a company that is going to sell out if they try to keep the game going. What a damn joke!
steam has sent out messages to folks who opened tickets they are investigating for refunds and have no delisted it on steam. Steam is doing more to handle intrepids fallout than intrepid is, tells you all you need to know lmao
I can still see the game on steam wdym? 🤔
see it, can't buy it
Because there is no one left at intrepid to handle fallout 😂 they left to get milk and aint comin back
So are the servers down then? Or can you still log in?
Y
Is this the channel I recruit for tes3mp in because we want more morrowinders dm me!!!
i just hope that steam sees through the coming lies from Intrepid that they are "totally not closing down" and "going to finish the game" and "staffing up right now to deal with the turnover"
Ancient proverb say... "A man who goes to bed with an itchy bum, will wake up with smelly fingers." 💪
Your guess is as good as ours, we're all working off of the same amount of information at the moment...
As far as I'm aware... The community management team has been released, and are no longer with Intrepid...
GUYS!!!!!! I'm going to use my 6-hour message cooldown to tell you something very important: if you bought the game on Steam via PayPal, you can get a refund! I just did it and PayPal accepted it instantly! So do it! Don't let that gay rat steal your money! People who paid with their credit card, talk to your banks. Don't let this piece of shit steal your money!
I just bought some of the cosmetic overrides from the shop .. what's the typical delivery ETA?
Don’t do this, steam will ban your account. I repeat, do not do this
Will january 13th dev stream happen?
.
Can we ask for refund on steam for this...
You can
so AoC canceled for real?
Yeah, we are all sitting like kids alone on christmas without santa, watching the other kids having a great time.
Put a request in and see. It looks like some people have put one in and steam sent back a response they are investigating. I put one in just in case, but if steam deems they were being scammy they will likely refund you.
What about if we bought a key bundle from the website?
Ajjajaja boludones. Pagaron miles de dólares para jugar esas alphas horribles y ahora no hay más proyecto jajajajaj
I also did. I doubt we'll be getting anything back, but who knows 🤷
ASHES OFFICIALLY CANCELLED ON STEAMDB
I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they’re all spending the week at a hotel. Steven has ruined my life and my party. I can’t handle this anymore. Goodbye Ashes of Creation. I am no longer a fan.
Ruined your own life
Sounds like your inability to control yourself did that XD
Brother, its okay to be upset but my dude. Thats the actions of a man child.
so is there a article somewhere as to why the game got canceled? the company shut down?
Lmao, there's no fucking way that wasn't bait 😂
guys can we get a refund in steam because of the news?
why nobody join my group ingame?? DD LFG SB ... im so alone in e-server
u can try but they are refusing
refund with your bank not with steam lol
no worries, im kickstarting a new game let me get 40k


Never trust the snake oil salesman.
how to refund after 5.4 hours
Hi guys, where is best spot to farm tendonite?
When will they announce what will happen to the game? If they're going to shut it down or what?
I guess we'll learn on the 13th that it'll be turned over to some Korean dev farm who'll make it into a pay to win garbage
how much ashes its worth now maybe i take free and still make
For those who bought with steam, request a refund as steam will fight for you, those who didn't talk to your bank and see if they are able to help. to those wondering about why steam hasn't refunded or stopped sales, once they are finished investigating they'll refund when they confirm the death of the game.
Where can I delete my account, I want to pretend I never paid for it.
Guys i made a research on internet by myself, the interpid studio building on sale and the date is 22/01/26.
they already made a decision about ending the game.
soooo my money when I kickstarted 8 years ago is going to goooo where? classaction? doubt it, not worth the time
hey guys, so when are they adding the new subclasses then?
Ts is so ass it deserved to die
Is Power directly Healing power as well?
desinstale the game guys, fuck them
Yall have any idea how many quarters are left in the server hosting?
It Dont Look Good Bob!
-$850k
Did they ever make an official announcement
On a scale from 1 to 10, how much Creation is left in the Ashes?
did you guys have any luck with steam ? just got a message back from support saying they are investigating this further .
Disgraceful behaviour @idle siren Con artist
No go for me. Trying again..
is it true the news?
GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK FKIN SCAMMERS
I got a personal message from steven the man him self he said thanks fuckers cya adios ya little bellends thanks for the dollar his words not mine

why is nobody moderating this discord?
@idle siren I'm building a brand new MMO called Body of Destruction. if u can send me a few million to get it off the ground ill pay you back ASAP. Thank you for your contribution from me and my team.
this is why you dont trust gay ceos
Are servers still online?
Moderate all this? Impossible, at this point we are just people with different colored names for the most part.
they all got kicked out of the company - none here for it
Never did, no
any news by now? i stopped to see news yesterday
@woven kettlegame close?
not officially 
IIRC the person who set it into slow mode isn't even around anymore lmao
Steven got the goop... and a hatch key..
You have to hand it to Steven, his dream of making an unforgettable mmo succeeded. No one will ever forget how big of a piece of shit Steven Sherif, Intrepid Studios and Ashes of Creations was. Gamers will be telling this story for decades.
I feel for the devs and staff that are caught in the cross fire
will we be able to get a refund? i payed 120 dollars 2 years ago just for this game to get shut down in less than 2 months on steam.
Ashes of Donations?
I read something that said their Steam "release" fulfilled their Kickstarter obligation to release the game or give full refunds. We're SOL
Open Source the project!
Kerbal 2 is still for sale on steam. Doubt steam will delist aoc for awhile.
refund the 300$ from initial alphas
here the pay button as disappear on the steam page
Yeah you can't buy it here either.
MelkOR I can have your discord removed for Racism and Toxicity if I report it right now.
You are in a public discord. Careful of your actions.
Hey I'm just saying, I warned them. I don't really care about the money lost. We all bought a EA game knowing the risk.
Some bussy talk right there Kira
Kira just mad he got scammed
whats the RMT gold price rn it was 75 cents for 1g before this (its 8 cents now)
Anyone selling duped gear cheap now? DM so I can get a sniff of what it was like 
Cuckstarter paypigs arent getting their money back, Only way after a campaign is finished is to ask the creator, they dont issue refunds from Kickstarter themselves. so GL convincing Steve to give you your money back.
If you are really lucky steam will investigate and issue refunds for all the STEAM copies.
This serves you right for paying hundreds of dollars for the unfinished concept of a turd. 
do we know who the private equity company is? thats who we need to sue.
Scam
If you are wanting a refund (and you purchased via Steam). You can request a Steam refund regardless of your hours, and they will refund you. They may reject you the first time, counter it and it will go through. Site news articles and official posts in your counter
KEK SADGE
Can we rename the server to Asses of Creation?
what should i spend my embers on?
how can we apolgize to N@rc?
I can’t believe we haven’t gotten an update yet lol
Keep the servers running. Stop updates for now and reduce the size of your team. Add cosmetic items to cover server costs and continue working on it. I don't know your complete vision, but what I've learned in the past two months is very good and a solid foundation.
So:
- Keep the servers running
- Stop updates for now
- Reduce the size of the team
- Introduce cosmetic items or a monthly subscription to cover costs
- Continue working on the AoC vision
@tight gale
Dude there is no one to keep anything, there are no employees, there is no company
so.. what now?
game is gone, you are pissing in the wind
Even mobile game developers are more honest and transparent than these early access developers
I was finally starting to make good money in the game and getting good gear(the honest way) . God damn it!
How much total money they got from player base ?
SAVE THE GAME!!!
Steam pulled it off, tis confirmed ded
Dark and darker got pulled off steam to later be put on for in house drama same as this
Another other decent mmo’s out? I seen some pax dei stuff on tiktok but can’t really figure out if it’s currently any good😅 (pls don’t recommend eso, I’ve put far too many hours in that shit)
Did servers shut down?
What's the easiest way to find an active new player clan. Is there a main city everyone hangs out to social?
Oggrimar
They redeemed guys…..
Bloody fuck you…
They redeemed
The AFK channel at the very bottom has no slow mode and anyone can message.
"we don't need your money, we're funded to completion."
This was easily the best manipulation technique:
makes it sound like there was zero risk in buying any of the exclusive cosmetic packs while also taking the highroad to make sure nobody can criticize their scummy monitization of an unfinished game.
Anyone got a link to the refund lawsuit?
I got refund with 28h on this game!
Try it over and over...
Should i refund this and buy midnight with it
well this is what happens when people kept ignoring issues
How would this comment change if he was Asian or Black? Was the "Tel Aviv" necessary?
Chat is this game cooked
Wait for the class action lawsuit baby 💥
can't wait to sue
I love how there is no official statement. Still.
my steam refund got denied
the steam purchase can be refunded at least if you got it paying EU taxes, you are protected by EU laws as the game didn't get out and you paid for the pack which includes things when the game is released, which will never be possible, so if Steam don't refund, you can just go to EU lawyers
Did they just update the discord picture at the top?
Hello is there a server maintenance going on? I just started yesterday thanks
Refund the game please
whats the latest still ghosted?
can we still get a refund through steam if we didnt buy it on there 😛 asking for a friend
Wheres is DJT when you need him....
Sucking Israeli dicks and hiding the Epstein clients
No more game in steam
Get rekt goy
For those in sorrow and pain 😭
http s://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWPzDlTBaVg
not israel, but bibi
Epstein did nothing wrong
Asian and Black ethnic groups are lacking a historical record of scamming and grifting.
@idle siren fggit you'll rot in hell you dirty rat fuk.
Elon Musk just tweeted he is buying Ashes of Creation
He’s changing it to Island of Creation though
I mean no way in hell this game should have had a 200 plus person team with as far as it needed to go in alpha and no major publisher. Bash on Mortal Online 2, but with sub 20 people they put out a pretty decent product. Sounds like horrible mismanagement.
Omg I wish bro it’s like pocket change for that man we should @x him lol fuck he’s paid more in child support the. To buy this game
I’m honestly impressed so little was created with a team of 200
Damn dawg, So edgy you had to come into the discord just to say that.
So seeing as theres no game when are the refunds coming like promised lmao like that'll happen

@idle siren Games should never die, $20 final offer
THEY JUST UPDATED THE WEBSITE THEY ARE STILL GOING AHEAD WITH DEVELOPMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi
There never was a team of 200. During covid there was filing for 80 Devs. I bet not all came back after. I'd not be surprised if it was 30-40.
then they are goin to shut down or another company will take the game?
@tight gale There's a lot of dirt in the chat! And I would like to ask the entire development team and the directors not to abandon this project! A lot of strength and love has been invested in him ! And don't forget that this world has become a home for many of us! I really don 't want to lose this world .... I want to hope that everything in the company will get better or they will find a way out how not to leave us alone and not deprive us of this world... It 's really sad ...
Waiting for Gloria Victis to come back
Has Intrepid made any official statements to get in front of this crisis? Or is this just full radio silence.
sadly this was the first mmo i have truly enjoyed in a long time
From what I have seen on the website there is no obvious statements for or against this which is concerning. I am scrolling the forums now but radio silence
who the fuck tryna nut in my butt
what's an intrepid? I mean there was a game studio but uh I dont think there gonna pay the server fee's and internet access now that aint no one there
Go play archeage classic. It has a lot of the systems ashes never made
Respectfully, with it trading hands to Private Equity and with Steven/core stepping away - the game has unfortunately sunsetted. It is likely, that after some very quiet time for things to blow over, they'll attempt to make money back on it and you'll see some form of it appear in the future - but without those core visions - it is not nor will be the game you originally were enthralled with.
farewell ashes, I never knew you
@idle siren wake up little phony
Where do you see this???
I just have to Say I'M SORRY N.@.R.C, I owe you an Apology.
So.... any chance of seeing a refund on my purchase of $110 from last year?
Can we get a figure on the amount of cash Steven got from engaging in RMT?
Can we get some update from a mod or an official statement. If the game is still going to happen waiting this long for a status update is only harming the IP. If 9 years are going down the drain anyway might as well say something
I bet the servers running great with them being near desolate if they still up
they probably fired the people who are in charge of the discord 😂
Can I please have my 1600$ back, I’ve supported this game since 2019… this is so wrong, I was warned about this…
cant buy the game on steam anymore
Hi
Edit: wtf 6 hour slow mode????
Fuckin scamming dogs.
Whats the issue on here? I just dont get it ........ well i never bought so i dont know
Steven can you answer the burning question we all want to know
TOP OR BOTTOM
WHICH IS IT
Cya in 6 hours.
Someone tell us something is it over who is in charge rn
well their was one director listed on company filings, and one director "resigned" so i guess nobody is in charge.
RIP ashes
New MMORPG coming out in 3 months
Discord .gg/techrunners
👍
Anyone else unable to refund on steam because of time played even tho it was mostly queue times 🥲
I got a refund from Steam.
I been trying
For people not being able to get a refund with steam, send them a support ticket directly they should be able to refund you that way. Make sure you're cordial and explain the situation, you should get a refund just fine
i hope everyone gets the refunds. i feel bad for steam having to deal with all this honestly (however you think of valve in general lol)
How did you get a refund
game is off steam now
Gg
speaking of narc, does he have a new youtube channel or anything? miss that dudes video's
@drifting axle for real
Ashes of Cremation
Ashes of Donation
They are selling all the game’s systems and assets to offshore companies, which means there is no longer any chance of another company buying the project and continuing development.
If you purchased the game on Kickstarter, it is impossible to get your money back because the game has already been released on Steam.
There will be no official announcements from today onward; even the employees no longer have any authority on this Discord and are only listed at the top by name.
Lets go Aion 2, Bellatores and Drakantos the real ones
Trash game anyways
Wonder who gots the 💰💰 to file a lawsuit 👀
Servers stills on?
Hey guys, I filed a report with the FTC for fraud. Suggest you all do the same 😄
im in a server now
How
come play archeage classic
i am honestly shocked they havent killed the discord
What a bunch of scammers
HEY DO YOU HATE ASHES CHECK THIS GAME NEW MMORPG NO PAY TO WIN AND FREE TO PLAY======> Scars of Honor ON
PC ON STEAM
glad i only wasted 40 dollars
Moggies on YouTube
👯♂️
So aside from Steven who else was in on it, Margaret really being part of the leadership for 10 years and seeing nothing sus this whole time? Riiight.
Intrepid is hiring a software engineer guys go apply
any news?
someone from intrepid studios is online. eventually we get some news?
so when is some1 making a private server
When is the full release? Heard game has a lot of potentials
game probably dead now.. sadly studio is in turmoil
Lol fully funded................
fully funded a new yacht
Has anyone seen Mankrik's wife? I'm looking for her
Maldraxxus
in the pits of the mmo corpse-grinder, there is only betrayal and greed
the spiritual successor to archeage deserved better...not this half-forged, unfinished abomination, its skeleton still dangling with placeholder code, its seas empty of true peril, its world a cracked shell leaking promises that will never be welded shut
what a festering waste.
did it just go down?
steven is jewish are u surprised
"5. I don’t like artichokes. That’s it. See you all in 6 hours."
Artichoke on my d#ck. This game is not a scam and all the doubters will be eating their words when it comes out fully. It's going to be amazing. Just have some faith.
EDIT: Guy below me. Your mom is a known bug
EDIT2: TheFool, turn yourself off
EDIT3: Crowdfunding is for subtards. We need to get venture capitalists!
EDIT4: Don't talk shit to me about artichokes you piece of shit. Find me in game and PVP me like a real OG. Come at me! 1v1 me in Ashes of Creation like a real man!
EDIT 5: Actually nevermind, you fuckers have ruined this game for me. I'm quitting the server, and the game, and life.
Couldn’t get the game to DL on steam. Known bug?
Turn your pc off and on
🇳 🇦 🇷 🇨
Lmao can't believe this server still exists
Steam refunded me after I sent them my cock pic and threatened to destroy them with my girth maxing.
Bruh go outside
we are Steven sharif
@grok is this real
AHSES OF CREATION TEAM AND STUDIO ARE BUNCH OF SCAMMERS THAT NEED TO GO TO COURT FOR MONEY FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES
This is wild I waste over a grand I want a refund
The servers are still up. I thought the game was canceled?
I don’t know bro, that’s kind of on you for spending over $1000 on a game that wasn’t even out yet. That sounds like a life lesson to me 
imagine the people who spend 10k for kickstarter packs
I'm creating a new MMO its going to be better than ashes of creation, its going to run on unreal 5. Il send my kickstarter link later for you guys.
I once met Belle Delphine (I call her Belle) on the street. I shook her hand, and I guess my muscular grip was impressive because she started playing with her hair and biting her lip. She asked for my Snapchat, but I told her I got banned for being based—calling out libtards and feminists online. The same thing happened with Instagram. "But hey," I said, "you can have my Twitter account. I'm not banned there because Elon (always capitalize His name, kiddo) is a true free speech warrior. He saved the West." She asked me out on a date, but I told her, "sorry gal, i have a WoW guild to run" and walked away.
I heard her crying
so what happen to this game in the future after all that beta and waiting also playing a while when at steam release but just see the news
Yes they are doing some PTR test while Steven suck on some dick
crazy thing to say 
do you even think anyone will ever read all this troll chat lol
Steven probably is. I bet he has a humiliation kink based on how he’s made the wrong move at every point of development.
Guys, this is all part of game development, the Amazon merch store just went up, it's all under the new nutrition company, can't wait for the Server Meshed Protein shakes, they're gonna be so well funded, can't wait for 1.0

Hey gays!
I saw this new MMORPG on Steam today, it looks interesting
Is it worth buying? Any advice?
ask Steven
Hi
how do we buy this on steam ?
I reccomend buying this GREAT game!
You can easily get a horse from the starting town it has you go to, there’s some quests you can do that’ll lead to it and give you the mount once you finish the short quest line, can do it as soon as you start. The other options is to either raise one or buy one off the market
Is the merch drop taking the piss? Wtf you want people to pay for ai slop merch lmfao
they trying to get more of that bag man. thats how a scam works. Ashes of Creation branded merch has now made it to the Amazon Store under the brand 310 Nutrition
The listing specifically mentions this is OFFICIAL Ashes of Creation merchandise
The CEO and Founder of 310 Nutrition is Tim Sharif
So just downloaded the game, what would be the best server for me to join? Im from australia
allegedy Steven is
piratesoftware predicted this. you all should have listened 💅
This hits hard
So when do refunds start? Maybe if enough people complain to the Better Business Bureau they can get a good formal case against them.
Priest lvl 11 LFG for oak !!
Hey guys, I cant lvl past lvl 6, cant find any quest around, I heard this game was 10 years in development, how come theres no quests around 🤔
lmao AoC canceled after all this hype
why hasnt this discord been shut down alrdy?
The hype was to big for them 🤷😅
what should i eat for lunch
God DAMN $3,500?!!? i only spent 250 something like that
Huge money grab! they did it right haha fckign scammers
-50$, nice scam, fuck companies that only want money and play with our gamer dreams
I was a sucker for pledging $1000 to Pantheon but at least that game is still around 
just loaded up game after getting EA last night. so happy to be here after seeing lazypeon's video yrs ago
I just bought the game. How long will it be until the beta?
might have to remove the lord in your name, timing was more of a peasant whos horse died on the way
Was this the Bridgerton MMO?
Is it viable to use a shield on a mage? or am I gimping myself?
I still dont understand why u still talking, u act like everything is about new world, i get it u won some duel and saying this is what my company slot and saying im a dogshit player but lemme ask u this did u get bench by some company in east and comeback to west and have this big ass ego afterward also multiple talking shit about me at the same time thats not right and i cant stand that and streaming to other people and have this big ass EGO afterwards, also dont bring up my personal life and talking shit about me that i cant stand and asking about my personal bank statement and saying im a broke man, i couldnt care how much u earn and acting like u a rich mfer. And whats up with is discord is it just me or this is where all the rejects hang out now cuz u all fell down please check yourself in a fucking mirror and ask yourself how fat u are maybe something will change about u and u start going to gym.
I went to ur discord last night if u can back yourself up if its come to face to face u aight shit this is why u type and cant talk to people u a scared mfer thays who u are u hide behind a screen and talk shit about other people.
Ok but @Karen why the discord is still up
No the better question is why the game is still on?
Only the bots playing at moment kkk
@idle siren
i hope hes joking. game dead gg
the hype is ngl so big in farmers market. theyre all waiting for the game to release so they can rmt. im asian i know this much
is this game ded?
Answer: Maybe
so marge finally left the server?
well i am not getting refund that way, they keep saying about playtime
Legions arm quest still broken? Checkiing in after 3 months
Ya I’m just sad it all imploded. Could have been a great game and a bit depressed that the MMO/PvP. genre seems to be dead. Too expensive with a too long horizon and players that expect WoW level content depth on day 1 means no investor is patient enough. Guess it’s time to put my big boy pants on and hang up my gamer hobby hat.
Hey guys any new updates lately? Just got back from a nice fishing trip getting ready to get back into it I’m excited.
LOL refund thx
Still no update? 💀🤡
Scam of Creation, where are my money layers?
Eh, SWG imo doesn't belong on list of 'WoW Clone'. Technically, I'm pretty sure SWG even launched a few months prior to WoW's official launch.
WoW didn't actually do much that was new at the time, either. Anarchy Online, DAoC, Ultima Online, and variety of others all had lots of market-firsts that WoW duped. WoW won because of its marketing and accessibility.
edit: Just realized slowmode is 6 hours... da fuq lol.
6 Hour Slow Mode reflects the development speed of Ashes of Creation.
Steven where you at? Congreats you finally found a way out. You did it. Enjoy the freedom. No more pretending @idle siren
@idle siren FUCK YOU AND SUCK MY BALLS
Hello
You have the buy the bigger early access packs for those. Brokie
Wait a minute ✋️ did i get scammed 😳
and yet i m online !
When will they pull the plug?
Now i will invest in star citizen and buy a 100 dollar ship
Was there any apology from Steven yet? Or are his incels still out in force wishing him the very best?
So the game is officially shutting down right?
This Game kinda smelled Like an scam even the graphics und Game construct after all These years, IT meant to be a scam
That little thief steven should be in a prison cell
make that 2 @idle siren
Tbf majority of people should of known it was a scam due to the 100+ dollar pre alpha keys
why the negativity guys, it's only alpha, they will fix the lay offs
Where me money!!! What going on!!! Steven run with me 40 dollar???
So when you guys comeback to New world ? XD
I mean, why do you care what people do with their money? Sounds like you're a brokie
The game that represented hope and that people can still care about you in this horrible world of greed.. just scammed us KEKW

How can i contact the support. The Zendesk Supporters are clearly not existent/got fired... I lost 2fa and need a reset... worst exit scam in my history
Latinos que tengan Buena PC tambien esta el Pax Dei que ya metió su PVP y estamos buscando gente competitiva para el pvp en el servidor de Selene, Gremio Guardia Nocturna.
Looking for a hardcore guild
I guess all we are left with are the ashes of stephens creation
What's going on with ashes of creation?
Hello, I am a French player who has a question for you.
- What do you mean by “combat passes”?
- What do you mean by gold shop?
- Will the game move towards a pay-to-win model?
The game should not move towards this model, which is already too common, and if I want a game like that, I'll go to AION2, which I literally hate...
This game aint movin towards anything. Everyone got laid off yesterday. Games dead big dog.
I did pay 50 for it but I only lost a few dolalrs and you are still chinese.. Im sorry for you
Can't buy on steam, but can still buy cosmetics that don't exist on ashesofcreation.com OH and you can still buy accounts from Hellen Wong
@idle siren I hope that after all this, you really understand that this is genuinely 100% your personal fault because of your scatterbrained ass management, stubbornness about trying to make shitty ideas work despite your dev team telling you it's fucked, and being a lying shitweasel that had so much ego you HAD to be "personally funding" the game when you were so much of a staggering idiot that you not only took loans from people you KNEW were predatory fucking sharks but that you were ALSO stupid enough to allow that to end up diluting your ownership of the company.
You actually could have done it. It could have succeeded. The only thing that held it back was you, and you fucked it up so obscenely hard that you get to go down as the posterchild for awful managers and why idea guys need to be hit with rocks.
anyone else stoked for the inevitable class action lawsuit so they can frame their check for 12c?
3 days after the announce and yet the server are up with no info about when they will shut down, I have never seen anything like that.
And btw can somebody explain why we are still in 6 hours slow mode?
Whats everyone putting for their refund reason on steam?

@idle siren Hey man, can you share new game progress or whats the team doing now? Keep us posted 👍 👍 👍
Hello guys, just started playing, which class is the strongest in the game?
The almighty rug. Is capable of doing 1v150.000
Worst company in gaming history. It's funny that Steven doxed himself repeatedly just to scam people.
I want to confess: I sold all of you dumbasses items from a vendor that I bought for a few silver and resold them to you for 1-2g. I made 50-100g daily from that for 10mins effort.
Oh fuck I thought this was the Asses of Creation server, I’m just tryna goon!
Im gonna be playing till they shut down everything cuz the game really grew into me these last months. Rest of you can go f youselves go play p2w archage and leave this server already 🙂
💩
How to install the game?
@idle siren when i get to play this already funded game? 🙂 noway your money ran out right?
Funny thing is that now that în theory nobody mans the servers ....game actualy works better 😂
Was there any word about potential refunds?
Time to take your meds, drink some milk and have a nap.
no
Hey guys so seeing alot on news regarding the game. Just wanted to ask here . Is the game going bye bye meaning no more servers etc ?

Are servers still on?
Any decent build for warrior? Just bought my $10k bundle from kickstarter, looking forward to vegas launch party
Yes, they’re still working on it, it’s just an early April Fools’ prank. 
I talked so much shit in the star citizen discord just for AOC to get nuked fml
Play dead game nice bro
Just a quick question, has anyone thought of notifying Steam to shut down or stop sales of the game?
They are investigating what’s happening, read thread someone posted a steam statement
Anyone have skills as an Associates Software Engineer? Intrepid Studios is hiring one via their website.
This feels like Springtime for Hitler
will 6 hour cooldown ever be removed or was this steven's last - "let me mess with this discord?"
Don't this this was a scam, just a failed project
someone knows how to refund?
restart the server? Because there's a major bug in the desert: no mobs and a corruption bug affecting the character, killed by the guards 🙁 Or should the server be shut down, if anyone's still playing o_O? We're players, so we deserve answers or at least a sign of life from you!
Someone needs to do what they did to wow how they made turtle what everbits called
the game is dead 😄 open eyes
Everyone that could answer you was fired last week
You’re out here throwing tantrums, calling CMs “stupid bitches,” and pretending like that makes you some kind of authority — newsflash: it just makes you look like an unhinged clown with Wi-Fi.
You clearly don’t understand how shit works in game studios, yet you're acting like you run HR, PR, and the dev team all at once. Hate to break it to you, but spamming insults on Discord doesn’t make you a “truth speaker” — it just makes you loud and embarrassing.
You’re mad a CM didn’t personally respond to you? Lmao. This isn’t a therapy session, and no one’s paid to hold your hand because you’ve confused being entitled with being informed.
You want to be taken seriously? Then stop acting like a bitter teenager who thinks screaming louder = being right. Because right now, the only thing you’re managing is a full-speed meltdown in public.
Alright steven when did you create this new account? We see you.
Why low online? what happened🫃🏿
they rug pulled us
the french dutch and russian afk channels do not have a cd timer on them
Margaret left the discord… not surprising since so many shat on her unfortunately
I hope her the best, I don't think any of this shit is her fault, but then again, all the details haven't been released yet. I'm still sad about all of this, but only time will tell. I really want to know more about the behind the scenes but more importantly, I want to know where everything is going with this.
Can we get a refund if we have 40 hours in game?
are you guys getting refund if you have 100+ hours playtime
s
Lies
Her account is tied most likely tied to her profissional email, once she quited, she lost access.
Anyway, she probably in the mud, I wouldn't hire her till she gets cleared of any wrong doing.
@silk star
360h here:
Dear Steam Support,
Thank you for your reply.
I understand Steam’s standard refund policy regarding the 14-day period and the 2-hour playtime limit. However, I would like to clarify that my request concerns an exceptional situation that goes beyond a normal Early Access case.
The Ashes of Creation project has been cancelled and is currently associated with fraud-related legal proceedings, meaning that the product advertised at the time of purchase will never be delivered in its final form. As such, this is a case of non-delivery of the purchased product, not dissatisfaction with gameplay or Early Access limitations.
The recorded playtime reflects access to preliminary test phases only, not to a complete or commercially released game. This usage cannot reasonably be considered consumption of a finished product.
Given these circumstances, applying the standard automated refund policy does not address the core issue, which is failure to deliver the product as sold. I am therefore requesting a manual review or escalation to a supervisor, and reconsideration of a refund to my Steam Wallet.
I appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to your response.
Kind regards,
My name
Mensagem do Suporte Steam em 1 fev. às 19:02 | 1 dia e 16 horas atrás
Olá,
Estamos investigando este problema. Assim que tivermos mais informações, atualizaremos o seu chamado.
Steam Support
Dude at steam
They are investigating what happen, is the game realy dead? Steam HATES Early Access titles that don't fully release.
They denied me my request 🙂
Hey there,
there is new Information That Ashes of Creation will still be developed by their remaining senior developers & they have new Board.
Check news on Google, just published 5 mins ago. Thank god, we can still play. 👍👍👍👍👍
Everyone should just go back on Lineage 2,... There is plenty of good pv server, specialy Reborn, where you can experience what Ashes Of Creation will never be.
Stop trying to find that unicorn, modern MMO will always ruin your hopes.
If you want great guild content with open world, PvP, PvE, siege, no bs instance or bg, there is NO ALTERNATIVE than Lineage 2 C1 to C5.
@kleeblatt links of the sorts would have been appreciated or r u trolling....
theres less people playing than there was on like one server total right now prob just bots i wouldnt play at all log out uninstall and keep sending refunds
So what now ? are we done with this game ? or still the game will keep running as before ?
someone give me an answer, are we gunna continue leveling or just delete the game and forget about it ?
How do I DM Steven to tell him he's a Knobber?
I love how the discord server is just left and its just constant bashing on 6 hour cooldown... this is beautiful
the admins should just remove the restrictions and let us vent, im sure they got burned just like us.
Where's my beetle mount Steven?
@calm ferry send ticket to steam.
when can we refund the game?
One of many clowns 🤡
Quinfall worth playin?
Still no news?
What do we learn? Dont spend Money on Star Citizen. Maybe thats a scam too 😄
Ну что ребят, игру убрали из продажи в стиме, видимо мы идем нахуй, всем спасибо
So AoC merch for sale on Amazon by a company owned by a TIm Sharif?? Rather interesting to say the least.
Move on for 40$ holy shit
I just finally got my account linked to steam, it's downloading the PTR, is that what I want, or the live version?
Both the PTR and Live are public test realms, just so you know, it's an alpha. If you're not willing to test, then the game is just not for you. And don't even open your mouth about unfinished features if you don't believe in Steven's glorious vision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
pretty pointless when his notifications have always been silenced but you do you @warm cairn
Boh
Oprah will buy it and save us
Seems Steven sharif and this Karen chick were both involved with fraudulent multi level marketing juice companies.
No more "Glorious testers". I will not miss this one
PLAY DARKFALL RISE OF AGON
Darkfall is the game every single one of these failed PvP mmos wants to be.
Ultima style skills, evolving world around the players, faction/racial/random PvP/Ganking, AND BOATS! TWENTY TYPES OF BOATS, and sieging with large scale PvP, and a crafting centric player economy
Its genuinely the greatest version of what AoC will never become.
It is community ran and just released the 64bit version
WERE i can get refund of this shit game
yo is that big steevo i see on his new yacht? 🤣 💰
Now that steam has removed the ability to buy ashes which meand the know about the situation. Are people getting refunds
There is one FACT. Steam locked sales of the game. There is going something really bad about this game. Call it scam or not. This wouldnt happend if something wasnt bad. U can all try to defend it but this is ONE BIG JOKE.
They (People behind all this situation, whatever, devs, Steven or some shady ones) knew. They Knew whats gonna happen and they leaved Community in this state. This is worst thing to do. They deserved all the negative comments here. Maybe not hate, but all the negative Feedback.
There should be consequences.
It gonna probably end better for Steam users. I guess platform will protect their users and will refund to all. If Steam do nothing, its like allowing this practices to happen again. They wouldnt allow this.
Now they are locking all chats and canals to super slow down mode. They will not say a word, so they will not allow others to speak freely.
They probably keep playing the time until they all can hide somewhere like rats they are.
STOP defending this.
i'm going to give a shot on Scars Of Honor, who else is going to ?
Yo guys whats with the karen situation can someone update me
Steven went on vacation?
It is possible to request a refund of the quick starter for this reason: I didn't get the premium months or the skins. I would like my Refund?
Sell it to OG Blizz team
How to get refund via steam? Dm me please 🍆
ashes of scamation
So much cope
If the board or Steven had balls, they would make something public instant of running away and hide somewhere.
So ... any news after that single bomb drop?
Give the money back, you bunch of fucking assholes from Intrépide and Steven the scammer!!!
anybody knows stevens home ?? isnt about money !! its about honor !!
i paid 100 usd for an Alpha key via Official Site, is there a way to refund? i am in Kyiv now and need that money for much more urgent things like survival.
This is what life is all about, isn’t it? Watching cesspool communities like AoC implode and turn on their hero… a man they protected with whatever dignity they had left. I can see individuals like this man frothing at the mouth and it genuinely makes me feel happy and validated
Can I refund on steam with 450 hours played
dang i spent 450 ish 3 years ago
Pirate did nothing wrong and we should all thank him for calling out the LGBTQI2S+ hate in this game.
react here with what you are
I have one question, are the servers still running?
Stop giving that shit a platform anymore. I was shocked too. Play something worthwhile and have fun.
Could anyone get the refund on steam?
Imagine being Steven right now. Getting to cut the cord and dip out with millions. Bro is about to live the high life
I spent nearly 400 dollars buying copies for my self and friends, and now your telling me we can't even get refunds
(This was like a year ago)
Why would u do that for a video game that hasnt come out for 10 years, are u stupid?
Why is this game such a scam? Is that a built in system?
Qq - when is ashes of scsmming closing? Kekw...
It's called Ashes of Creation because Steven is just beginning building his new pyramid scheme

fuck it, lets play Dota
Not seeing anything to sujest anything, if it was the case why not make a statement here, or on the offcial website? its done move to a new game
What the fuck is this, there's no "Steam Community" inside "Home"
you guys should absolutely request a refund on Steam
even if you believed in the game or Steven
since he resigned, he no longer responds for the company Intrepid Studios
they deserve get their money milked since they wanted to fire half the company
the more they are hurt the more they are likely to sell the company to someone that actually cares about the game
you are aware that its steam fotting the bill not intrepid they can just refuse to pay back steam and declare bankruptcy
I was promised this game 3000 years ago. Does anyone have a release date?
they just did reject my request. yeah\
i submitted a refund request to steam yesterday, <30 hours played, and they are still "investigating"
Ask Refund at your bank. Its legal...
Always request a manual review and cite other games that have the same refund conditions. ^^
Where is some respond
A2 PTR BUGS-ISSUES HAS NO SLOW MODE YOU'RE WELCOME
What i do right now?
Life is now useless 🙁
Ten year long con for what?
wait whats going on being on vacation and coming here , did something happend in this mothn?
hi I'm joining here to ask: what do u think - when this game can be closed? xD
But Mortal 2 is cancer.
Some people have suggested it, after seeing some youtube videos, it seemed ok, what's not ok is that there's hardly anyone playing it and the people who are playing it are max'd, bored, waiting to ambush new players usually lol.
Hey guys! Just bought the game, which server should I play on?
Mortal Online 2 is fun as hell. It's truly a sandbox experience. As a huge Ultima Online fan, it hits all the right points for me 🤤 🤘
But if you're the cowardly type, yeah I'd definitely stay away from it as it is open world PVP
isnt it almost impossible to play alone?
Mortal Online 2 the goat 🐐
mo2 is rough starting alone, but once established isnt bad. Always better to pack up though. if you run into any packs youll most likely get ran over
you can literally level this game AFK fishing.
the ol trifecta . subs , retail price and microtransactions . something mortal and ashes have in common
Game is dead
Mo2 is forever early access but its so much better then AoC which was developed 10 years lmao
Why are there still 2500 people playing this game? Whats the point?
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec system exhaust
How to get your steam account banned 101
How do I get my money back from the Kickstarter 10 years ago? Is a lawsuit just gonna be opened and that will be how we get the money? DM me with answers
You will never get you money back ever.
You will not see a penny from the lawsuit. That is only to punish who ever is behind it.
think I will move to a more reliable, more transparent game in development which definetely wont go in that direction: Camelot Unchained
I want to play Ashes of creation Royale, where is the kickstarter link?
@mild swift you could invest in Star Citizen 😄
Servers still up or did whoever is hosting them pull the plug yet?
.
They won't last a second.
I’m currently in the midst of this as well I also attached files of Steven’s messages and the game removed on steam as well as other news articles!! Be extra it helps your case !!
IGN thinks your post is real HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Can the Mods confirm if they are no longer getting paid
how do kickstarter backers get their refund? :)
I received my alpha access for free; how do I get a refund?
There is no chance, only way is talk to your bank and show them all the details about it. if u have recently shortly before the steam ea release upgraded ur account, u can get a refund through paypal, if u used it to pay for the upgrade.
Steven, why did you hurt me? Why did you take my money as if I willingly offered it to you? You scoundrel, you dirty rotten theif of dreams, I hope you sleep never...I hope you always are looking over your shoulder as if Mossad was tracking your every movement. Love you Steven.
So who's gonna write to Elon musk and ask him to save the game?
If you got rejected file it again under steam support.
Luckily I can get a refund think I should do that sooner than lster
asap
Fuck ya Steve
So I guess I’m shit out of luck on a refund bc I got this game for 110 on there website
So late to the party but the game I was waiting for years is no longer a thing 😢 I was hoping this would be amazing
Yall should check out general. Pretty funny stuff
Jail for 2-3 years for Steve it gonna be fair i think...
500$ refund or jail for Steven
yeah sad , just imagine ass on fire guys who bought not only game but cheats and bots LOL🤣
No rope for the soap required.
All the staff left kekw
PAX DEI clan Ravengate is recruiting PVPers. Love it or hate it, we are very active having plenty of fights. Check my bio for links.
When is the first expansion, I want to kill minotaurs in a snow evironment
the game is gonna close? that is real news? :C
Pax Dei is the last great hope
Scars of Honor and Riot mmorpgs are the last hope
that s crazy not even a word in "news" to make people wait or give clues.
when do i get my gilded scarab? I'm still getting it right, guys? right?
Scars of honor is the next wayfinder
Riot mmo possibly
I am all for subscription based models, played WOW for about 12 years. However selling gold in game will go against a lot of players attitudes to playing an MMO. It is nice when everyone in game has to earn the gear they have. The game is an escape for a lot of people from the real world where money and power prevail, not necessarily gaming skills. If you really want to make a gold shop please make the cost so high that only the most affluent in society can afford. 100g for $1000 should limit it to a very small group IMO.
that isn't real
wow is selling gold for real money in form of a wow token, osrs does too in form of bond, albion online has direct silver to gold exchange
did they close down the servers yet?

Too bad Riot is uber woke and gay
Are the Servers shutting down?

Steven lurks in the discord just watching all the comments and reacting to the nice ones lol what a guy
So I heard this long promise that feeds on peoples hope is dead. Lol, how unexcepted... like if Steven didnt end up spending half of the budget on his mansion :Dd
Only if you can hook me up with the Yule Goat Helmet 🐐
Read as hey guys I need to recoup some money. Sent to China to build in game shop to turn into cash grab phone game.
Lmaoo, time for round 2
Just made a refund request and just want to forget about this cremation...moving further
6 hour slowmode isn't a realistic slowmode to have actual conversations. Make it more realistic @vast thistle @viral torrent@woven kettle! (there aren't even moderator/staff roles to ping?!?)
I cannot 💔
Hi I want to start playing Ashes of Donations, any advice?
so i aint got my refunds approved
@rich token how to make a refund request?
Ok yall since everyone calmed down who was your favorite mod
@viral torrent cause he’s a bird and I like birds
Greetings Adventurers,
The moment we have all been working toward is finally at hand: The Quinfall 1.0 will officially launch on February 6, 2026.
This release represents a massive milestone in the journey we have taken together. After an intensive development period and the invaluable support of our community, Quinfall is now ready to move forward as a fully released world one that will continue to grow and be supported over time. Your feedback has been the foundation of every adjustment we’ve made, every new building piece we’ve added, and every class rework we’ve implemented.
PaxDei is better but still shit and far from full game
SO, ANOTHER FUCKING DAY WITHOUT ANY ANNOUCEMENT???? FOR REAL???
Tried to ask in newcomer chat but people just laugh reacted me, I can’t purchase on steam is there an announcement or something when purchasing opens back up? I don’t see anything in #news
The game is gone. Everyone quit
just read the chat above mate. even if the purchases reopen there's no way this game is not dead. most of the leadership quit and they have no developers
Personally, I cannot in good consicence say now would be a good time to buy it even if it was still available. It is currently being looked into by Steam. No official announcement was made (yet).
<@&542059693779058748>
See I pinged them
Now they're gonna ban me

Steven personally muted me lol
Guess you weren't too nice
Why cant i buy the game anymore?
Go to there website
Guys it's worth it to investing 50$ millions on developing a new game in 2026 ? (A friend asked btw)
Has anyone received a refund from Steam?
I tried to get refund today but no luck as played more than 2 hours
@lime cloud if you didnt link your twitch i would've believed it. But props to you, it even made news to ign
still short.
Guys there is nobody left to make an announcement, stop waiting for a sign of life for something that is completely dead
Says the guy who literally admitted in the first line he bought it too. GG.
hey guys - when do you think we’ll see secondary archetype??
guys hop on quinfall
@idle siren what will be in next update? Any summpner class news?
Steven and his group of thieves, see you in court
Games cooked and the steam launch was the way to make sure backers did not get the refunds promised in the kick starter. I see a lawsuit in the near future.
@idle siren madafaka say something fkin scammer
As a support summoner is there any tips on what dps abilities i should keep uptime on to help group? Solo has been fun so far. Just looking for things I need to be aware of before grouping. Cheers!! ❤️ 🤗
bro doesnt even know
6 hour slow mode is fascism
Can't change it
Wait so if we type something it will appear 6 hours later?
is the game offically off ? or do you know if theyll eventually offically say something besides stevens random msg's

Nice scam, thats what you get If you Trust gay or queer people.. let that be a lesson for you all

Good evening, I have bought a preorder pack a while back to support this and NOW I am hearing everything shuts down? I would kindly want to request a refund and be pointed to where I can initiate this <@&542059693779058748> thank you.
Nice seeing all the troll emojis and replies, but thanks for the info that apparently scam company wont do it, seriously these people need to go to jail.
Go ahead and bend over, because that refund isn't happening big dog.
When steven go to jail?
Come all to #allgemeine-diskussion there is no time limit german role
Sorry, wont hoppande
We want our money back for this bull shit u pulled on us
I hope this game doesn't get shut down
Question:
Can someone plz link me to Sharif official statement on why he quit ? ty.
im not the only one who just saw that picture for a split second right?
STEAM IS INVESTIGATING - lol if not i am done with steam
Yes, I recommend the 40.000$ supporter packs.
I just paid mine like a proper citizen should do... 🫃
They got you too.. Ur in this chat buddy
does everyone get a refund? also those that buyed in befor it got to steam. i mean my prepaid 11 month sub and cosmetics i coundt wear are now useless
Steam will refund any customer base if the backlash is strong enough. They've got insane amounts of money, and refunding $2 Million is nothing to them if it means they won't be reputationally harmed (platforming a literal scam). There has to be no ''wrongdoing'' on that end, just enough backlash. However the people saying that the steam release happened to ''legally nullify'' the full refund promise in Kickstarter are braindead. The Kickstarter refund ''promise'' is a good faith promise, not legally binding. They released on Steam as a final cashgrab, not to cover their legal basis. If you donated on Kickstarter or their website, that money is gone and there will be no class action lawsuit to reverse those donations. Take the L and move on.
copy pasted xd
tl:dr - get rekt son
do we know when the game will actually shut down
When will AoC Be released???
Anyone have any suggestions on getting a refund? Got denied twice already. Steam btw
I got my refund. But i only played the game for an hour cause it was shit 🤣
Man atleast remove the em-dashes if your gonna use Chat-GPT haha
Good luck all, hope you all get your money back. I really enjoyed this game but the name is now trashed, the company is trash, and even if they pull it off it will never become what it could have been. I still won, made some friends :-). Good luck all.

It's done. Whoever come's in and takes over will definitely ruin it. It'll be made quick and rushed, it's be full of p2w and bollocks. Move on folks, move on 🙂
You are dumb as a brick if you dont think i shouldnt shoot my shot.
what is up? can we get refund or whats happening ?
Jag tycker vi ska hålla varandra i hand och sjunga, We Shall Overcome
We will never get our dream second life MMO RPG in this lifetime 
Refund how? I bought via their website... so can i also do regund via steam or?
No, dumbass
@idle siren running away with money before u get caught in Epstein files? what a fkin wanker!
See you in Guild Wars 2, wankers
The amount of hate here for steven outweights the scam, stevo hope u enjoy ur pina colada in mykonos ❤️❤️😁
server is still up and i'm still playing. funny how you fools all listen to access gaming media with a made up story. the game is still working as normal. everyone screaming refund probably never bought the game to begin with.
gunna be a better game without all the trash "hardcore" aspects
Everyone Goto 310 Nutrition and buy the Ashes of Creation merch!! Help @idle siren with his next scam.. BTW 310 Nutrition is Stevens old scam still up and running.
Where’s my BEETLE?!?! 🪲
u ask to refund your OF subs too after expired? go ask for refund noone fking cares yall bithing for your 40$ like u spend 10k
Hey, juste got a key from a third party site, i'd like to know which server should i join, an active one please, im from EU
Some of us backed before steam, for way more than $40
If all devs n Steven dont have access, its likely that the board has no idea on how to enter and give any kind of updates...
This game is the WoW killer??? right guys!?
steven with bobby kotick laughin at us
Will it auto refund everyone?
Ashes of Creation is the best MMORPG of all time?
what happend in aoc ?
I knew I couldn't trust Steven when he came out as a liberal a few years ago
My wife left me and took the kids because of this game and now it’s dead. I need some hookers and blow to cheer me up….
Np we gotchu, just call here 281-330-8004
You should call Steven he is gay afterall, he can make you feel better
welp im off this dicord you wont get any news from here anymore this is owned by the people that bounced
how can i manualy refund the game from steam? they keep rejecting me
Just wait they are still investigating all of it.
Guys, I can confirm that you can get refunds through PayPal if you bought something from Intrepid within the last 3 years. With a bit of luck it works. I just got $80 refunded for skins I purchased
I WANT A REFUND
yea, keep bullshiting 😂 you can only do a chargeback within 30 days, and it will result in your steam account getting banned, paypal doesnt do any refunds unless the seller/provider agrees, and in this case theres no such thing
So is the game dead for good?
The game will never recover from this, and if it ever does "launch", it won't be what you bought
private equity got the game so it will probably pop up a few times to get money from hopeful people like bless did
rug pull video game give me my fucking money back
we all took a big bite of the fail cookie and these are the crumbs we have to deal with
there is already a look alike out there called Epitome trying to do a kick starter, i think steven is already trying to rip people off again
Guys, just buy Quinfall
;ets hope so it had so much potential 🙁
This game wasnt even close to be good, let's be honest they were heading toward deception anyways. 🙂
I often cope after putting AoC after my name too
THE QUINFALL is to be release on 6 febrary! its better than this shit scam game
LOL saying that while quinfall also being a shit scam gamre
This is all Glops fault, he tried to steal the Joeva election on Shol and now look at what has happened.
How do i refund my cosmetics from the in-game store (over 100€), i used stripe for the payment
, any info dm me thanks. ill give you a 20% cut of the refund if you have any solution.
by making a kickstarter
We were scammed by 🇺🇦 new owner, isnt it?
refunds now, simple
Was the option to remove data privacy removed from the account settings on the Ashes of Creation website?
can they rename the game to Phoenix of Creation and keep on developing? I dont care for the loss of the dev team i just want the game to be further developent the dev team is an replaceable asset
without the dev team, and any promises, this game would basically be destined to go down a p2w path with the current systems
not bad idea
what "ethical" decisions could be made when it comes to a video game like bruh
"I sure will think of it , being the new IP owner of ashes of creation now, but i think it will be funnier to turn it into a haxor infested p2w $ grab ported overseas to china" - The new asian asset holder with BIG jew money
Time to move to poe boys. It's a good ass game waiting for yall to play it

crazy that I can't react to messages anymore

We can request refund on steam ? The dev is stop is this ?
whats the latest ?
I am glad I can sit here on my toilet, in peace, knowing I didnt throw away a dime to this company. Patience is a cool thing and for sure can save you a couple of $ from time to time.
yes nice bro, your patience saved you 50 bucks, happy for you
I love coming here and seeing all the comments of people that don’t know a dam thing

Margaret posted in the reddit AOC titled "My Experience" about 30 mins ago if you guys want some info
@idle siren too busy taking backshots and planning his next scam to care... kinda hilarious seeing how scummy his past is as well. Trying to buy people out in archeage??? 🤣🤣
and I bet dumbass steven doesnt even know how to either

backshot-steven needs a new job too 🍆
Any news on Refunds?
Any news on @idle siren slush fund?
Forget the refund, at this point I'm hoping for a reach around for the good f^cking I got..
The fact that this is somehow legal is beyond me...
They will officially announce the games closure. No news is good news.
Pretty sure everyone want's their refunds back. I backed this because I felt they deserved it.
This was pre-2025 Had a decent experience but the fact that what I was promised is now gone? yeah refunds are freaking due.
Im gonna need intrepid to reimburse me for allllllll this labor, not only did they ruin the game, but they took away my extra room edition. All because Steven didnt like what the board said about his graphics being an eye sore... well SO IS YOUR WIFE STEVEN. I'll say it to your face in cursive.. cause you know if you come around here I'll scissor kick ur gizzard and cut your karte artery. I STG. I'll put bird feed and your bug zapper. I HATE BIRDS. I'll turn your stepping stones into Frisbees. I STG. @idle siren
margareta in x put some info hu no what ?
depends if the shadow board exists or not.
Board exists very likely, let's see what the next days wil unveil
People asking for a announcement
What do you want? Like
"Hey guys, just want to say that we scam you yay"
I cant copy pasta you guys anymore today. Im about to start getting reddit cares messages from people in newbie chat. 😂
Margaret posted on Reddit
We promise a refund, if we dont release the game...
release a clearly unfinished game for couple months, early access
Oh no, I have to go and take all this money, the board of directors wanted to change the game and I said no, so I'm the hero and everyone else is fired...
all while we continue to search for this "board of directors" that doesnt seem to be more than one person
Man.. I only joined this server to see if I could see how the community is taking everything.
I remember seeing the kickstarter back in the day, but I was already in on Star Citizen and really did not want to get into another long wait.
By chance in early January, I saw it on steam and bought it.
3 weeks.. That was all I got. Aside from the bots, the game was fun. Very disappointed, in all honesty. Been rough. Between Anthem, New world and now this? Can't help but wonderhow long any game that comes out will last, outside of single player ones. Back to FF or WoW I go lmao
The Game will be dead in a few months dont waste time
i paid 100 dollars in 2018 kickstarter
WHERES MY MONEY SCUMBAGS
Hey guys, so I was browsing Kickstarter and I see this mmo there, we should go try that one, surely it will work out next time

Steven didn't want to face reality, that the game is what it is, and therefore reasonable effort via w/e means is affordable relative to it's performance, and it sounds like instead he took his ball and went home.
Either that, or he was fed up all along and dropped it on steam to prove to everyone it failed and he wanted out.
nice i need a girl like that
I see people saying that they 'released' a game which would negate a refund claim...OK, if we accept that, then in that case, Steven owes all the people who had referrals money owing to them.
Early access is by definition a pre-release state. The people saying otherwise are just dumb
FUCK THIS GAME WHERES MY MONEY @idle siren
Are all the non slow mode chats gone?
anyone else having problems getting refund from steam?
Steven 😇
I wonder what poof boy nepo baby Pirate software will say about this news? Tried to tell all my mates last year it was a scam, eating my popcorn now 🍿
I reckon steam will give refunds. They are pretty complicit in this. That Steven guy is clearly a crook and has probably a pretty big lawsuit coming his way. Good job he has money as he’s gonna need it to fund a legal battle
I wanna know if i can get a refund specifically for cosmetics i purchased and did not recieve
@tight gale any news on what will happened with all the code/assets that’s been built already?
my GF and her brother invested $250 into the kickstarter, her other brother invested $500 into the kickstarter. When it came out on steam i bought it for myself, my brother, and a coupple of friends. so my question is WHERE IS OUR MONEY?
Lets be real the only game left that going to be new and maybe fresh is Riot and their mmo. If they cant win peoples hearts then the MMORPG genre is over.
no its just dominated by WoW
Hell yeah can't wait!
Stop crying servers are still live !
Ashes of Creation <- they always told us 
What wall? I wanna see if Star citizen is on it.

My gf appreciates the time I’ve “taken off” AoC to be with her.
Damn man, SAME
So did they shutdown? Or any news yet?
NOONE wants to play 2 scams in 1 year so stop pumping MO2 crap... MO2 is that LONG SCAM
so when do I get my refund
Any official news.?
No
Guys, I strongly suggest you to make a steam request refund
not the automatic one
It seems that the december money from the sales is being held by steam 😄 fuck intrepid
So there is a chance you may get a refund
the more people hop in the boat, the harder we press steam to take action
This ain't about money, its about sending a message to scummy people who wish to take vantage of our hobby
@idle siren I know you lurking here boy, Gary is comming to get ye
This is really sad I joined this sometime ago I cant remember exact date may have been 2019 or so, but I was excited for a new MMO the node system seemed like a great idea. Its just a shame this industry is full of scummy bros trying to make quick money. And im sorry to everyone who donated.. I almost was excited to try and give the little I had to help with what could be an exciting new adventure. This is just really sad
Not even the whales could save this game
Who else is hyped for the upcoming stream??
since the game came to steam it can be considered lauched so they won't refund us. lol
I just ate a Buldak and it's exploding my asshole
Am happy to see you aint allowed to buy the game anymore on steam ❤️
So the reason for waiting 3 days to announce the end after the check was issued was so steam couldn't take it back imo
will we get a refund if we purchased the $200 alpha right before it was released for $60 on steam?
Will the previous workers sue @idle siren for disregarding the WARN act and firing them all the day before their payday? Rot in hell man LMAOOOO
so many speculations but they haven't said anything official. Anyway, Steven wins the legal rights and continues with the game or Intrepid continues it, the reviews have already killed him.
More than anything I am just sad to see such a promising thing die. Stuck playing other MMO private servers I guess.
Thanks @idle siren you fixed the bot and RMT issue, and the rage from them on discord is well worth the 50$ Im still having fun ingame
Ashes of Creati♿ n
Hi Steven, I’m Garry Newman of Facepunch Studios. We’ve been following Ashes of Creation and the community that has grown around it, and we’re interested in discussing the possibility of acquiring the game for $25M.
We understand the vision and ambition that went into creating the world, and we want to make clear that our intention would be to preserve that as much as possible while bringing the stability, development experience, and long-term support that a project of this scope needs.
Facepunch has a track record of taking ambitious projects and turning them into experiences that players can enjoy without losing the core of what made them special. We believe there’s real potential here to take what’s already been built and develop it further in a way that benefits the community and ensures the world can grow sustainably.
If you’re open to a conversation, we’d be happy to discuss terms, next steps, and how this could work for both parties.
Games should never die.
Business proposition via discord.....what? 🤣
fake account
thats never ocming out LOL, didnt you notice they just dropped a new side scroling fighter game like marvel vs capcom? There is no riot to save us in the mmo genre
Wha hoppen?
Rest in Ashes AOC 💔
so sad this was the classic challenging MMO the old school gamers needed
Id like a refund please
you forgot 5. get divorced and half your shit taken
Honest question if someone could give me good advice. I purchased the lower tier on kickstarter. Then upgraded to one of the much higher tiers on the ashes website afterwards. Can I still get a refund through the Ashes of Creation website where I purchased the upgrade and many of the cosmetics? This was probably 3+ years ago. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated via here or DM’s 🙏
just bought the EA, about 90% downloaded. can't wait to hop on
"Find another game to rot on"
Just go to Warframe, the only game that truly respects their playerbase and monetization
Remember how it was counting time played when people had the launcher on but couldn't even get on the menu to chose a server and create a char? Play time was never reset. I guess that was the hint.
it should be out about the same time GTA 6 releases
Hello,
After further review, we’ve determined that this purchase does not qualify for a refund due to 58 hours and 15 minutes of playtime on the game.
I understand your frustration, and I’m sorry that we’re unable to accommodate your request. I recommend contacting the game’s support team for further assistance:
If you have any other questions that are not related to this topic, feel free to ask us. Otherwise, we will need to close this ticket.
Steam Support
Sage
Idk how people with hundreds of hours get the refund
appeal it
Guys, i need help. Do i buy this game or New World !?
their both shutting down lmfao
Quinfall lasted longer than this game
@idle siren doesn't have controlling interest in the company.
You should probably address Karen.
If you're going to troll, you should do it properly.
I just got refund for $120 from buying Alpha 2 that I bought over a year ago. My credit card company is refunding me after opening fraud investigation and detailing situation.
This what I said to credit card company
“Reporting product as not delivered”
“As of February 1, 2026, it has been officially confirmed by major news outlets (Insider Gaming, PCGamesN) that Intrepid Studios has effectively collapsed. Founder Steven Sharif has resigned in protest, and mass layoffs have been issued under the WARN Act. The product I purchased is no longer functional as intended, development has ceased, and the studio is no longer able to support the game. This is a clear case of "abandonware" and an exit-scam occurring immediately after the Steam launch. Holding my funds for a product that has been permanently abandoned by its developers is a violation of fair consumer practices. The product has not been delivered, and will not be delivered due to the owner and senior staff resigning and the rest of the staff being mass laid off.”
If they ask if you have tried to reach out to company say yes once you called and they didn’t pick up which they won’t (their phone info is online ).
There is likely nobody left at the company to respond to these inquiries from the credit card companies and banks. This will become a default customer decision. Most likely if Intrepid tried to fight it they would lose that case but who is there to even try. It’s over
I worked at a company that dealt with these product not delivered inquiries from credit card companies and it was difficult for a company to win these cases against customer even when the company was 100% in the right. The credit card companies and banks want to side with customer as they are beholden to them not the companies their customers have disputes with. So use your customer rights!
Get your money back!
Don’t give them a golden parachute after abandoning the game. Take every last bit back you can
Well at least we can play TBC for the third time
Do i still have to wait 6 hours to say somthing after I have said somthing?
you just said something so I guess not LOL
TY for the tip
Would this have any repercussions on the associated steam account?
not all heroes use cape
I've just sent a request to my credit card company and in 3 days I'll be back with hopefully a positive response
para os brasileiros de plantão, uma rápida cópia e tradução da mensagem do colega que usei na contestação de pedido não entregue
A Intrepid Studios colapsou oficialmente em 01/02/2026, conforme confirmado por veículos como Insider Gaming e PCGamesN. O fundador Steven Sharif renunciou em protesto e demissões em massa ocorreram sob o Aviso do Ato WARN. O produto adquirido não funciona mais conforme planejado, o desenvolvimento foi interrompido e o suporte ao jogo cessou. Trata-se claramente de "abandonware" e um golpe de saída pós-lançamento na Steam. Reter fundos por um produto permanentemente abandonado viola práticas justas de consumo, pois o produto não foi e não será entregue, devido ao encerramento da desenvolvedora.
The scary thing is there are people still defending Steven and this scam.
Get your refund Americans! Idk about other countries but this violates the consumer rights act in america! Your banks/credit companies will side with you
I got bugs in my eyes bugs in my skin
@idle siren how did your money run out on already funded mmo 
Real chad
Bro you have people, still take Internet seriously. Society, cant handle shit anymore.
I remember the lobby in MW2 on xbox 360. I miss that...
I just received my Steam refund, guess what @idle siren , go fk u self haha
steam is fucking me i been requesting a refund three times now
@hexed epoch you have to talk to steam directly the bot wont let it threw if you have over two hours i bought the game owned it for less then a week but put 40 hours in and they haven't been letting mine threw for that reason but if you can contact them they will push the refund or so I've heard just keep trying I've been doing it since last Saturday since I heard about the shut down of everything so don't feel bad wait a month just to be able to buy it for it to shut down a week after playing it but oh well 🤷♂️
CLASSIC PLUS SAVE US
Um

Been following the game for awhile, I saw the 'bundles' star citizen was doing and then AoC, I was told over and over that AoC would be different (Like many others have in the past) Very glad I didn't invest, hope yall get some refunds. What happened to Camelot Unchained made me think AoC was just a cash grab, I haven't played the game so maybe it didn't start out that way? shrug
My steam ticket still saying will look into it, did you guys eventually get refund?
What do I play now?
I just got a manual refund approved for 13 hours of playtime and a purchase date of December 15th, 2025.

Wen betta test ?
[4th February]
Steven Sharif rubbed his temples, staring at the server metrics. He should have been home hours ago, but his vision for Verra kept him at the office. "Quality is everything," he whispered.
Karen Boreyko, the board chair, watched him from the doorway with cold eyes. She wanted fast cash, not art. She had already paid trolls to flood the discord. The noble defenders of Ashes of Creation fought back bravely, "the game is still in alpha!" and "this game is probably not for you!" the screamed, but the sheer volume of paid hate drowned them out.
"You need help, Steven," Karen sneered, introducing the woman beside her. "Meet Margaret Crone—a Hogwarts prodigy and master of the dark arts. She's exactly the specialist your troll problem requires."
Hours later, as the stress test peaked, Margaret invaded Steven’s office. "You look exhausted," she cooed, perching on his desk. Leaning dangerously close, she slowly, deliberately slipped off her high heels.
She extended her bare feet, resting them on the arm of his chair. Steven, who had never looked at a woman that way in his life, suddenly felt his mind fracture. A forbidden curse she learned in the restricted section—pulsed from her arches.
"Does John really understand you?" Margaret whispered, wiggling her toes. Steven’s eyes glazed over. Under the spell of the Hogwarts witch, the memory of his husband faded into gray static. He felt a confusing, unnatural pull. "I... I don't know" he stammered, entranced by the magic radiating from her.
Suddenly, red alarms blared. Server Critical Failure.
The door burst open. Karen Boreyko marched in with security. "Caught messing around with your assistant while the game burns? Pathetic."
Steven blinked, the spell snapping. "No, I— I'm gay"
"You're out, Steven. You are a cheating and negligent fake homo"
Margaret slipped her heels back on, shooting him a cruel wink. Steven sat paralyzed-betrayed by the board, his marriage poisoned by confusion, and his dream stolen.
THEY JUST UPDATED THE WEBSITE THEY ARE STILL GOING AHEAD WITH DEVELOPMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck yeah Dave Steve's listening, get him bud.
When starting what’s better the anvils or the riverlands?
O hope steven go in jail for the rest of his scammer life
P A Y T H E E M P L O Y E E S
Has there been any word from the devs or still radio silence?
Honestly, i don't care about getting a refund but not paying your employees, especially with all the labor laws in CA; pretty fked and I hope they sue at this point.
Ok for people saying you can't get a refund on steam is a lie. If it gets declined just ask again explaining the situation. You just need to get to a human to ask for it. I have dozens of hours in the game and got it on steam when it first launched. I received my refund after 2 attempts though and about 4 messages back and forth.
In further digging discovered Steam has frozen most if not all funds of the game so they can give refunds out.
Sadly this also means Devs won't get paid as there is no money.
Will people who bought it before the Steam release also get their money back?
I saw someone posting in reddit how they got theirs. It had something to do with Bank and how they are supposed to handle things when you buy fake stuff online with your credit card. I marked the post for myself to check it properly later today.
better sell the 5.5m house
Just got an awnser from steam support regarding refund.
Hey there,
I understand your sentiment regarding the game being shutdown by the publisher.
However, your purchase greatly exceeds the terms set in our refund policy and we're unable to make an exception.
Steam Support doesn't have an update on when the game will be available for purchase again.
You may consider getting in touch with the game's publisher for further updates.
Steam Support
Atleast star citizen exists so I still have a doomed project to funnel money into 🥰
Anyone here still playing Quinfall? It’s been about a year since I last logged in — have there been any positive changes?
Turkish "all-inclusive" of online games... but more patched up than at EA launch.
Anny good mmorpg's?
rise of agon
It was fun while it lasted. Time to go back to WoW.
Lmao you are a weird one. Sitting in a discord and just latching on to people. I got my refund for a grand total of 4 minutes spent. Bye bye you big weirdo
I’ve just started playing Where winds meet. ITS FREE, but loving it so far.
My steam account shows I played 5 hours of ashes but 3.5 hours of that was queueing.
Lmao well pretty sure a bank isn't going to issue refunds for a kickstarter over 10yrs ago so I'm fucked I guess....neat.
Edit because fucking 6 HOURS slowmode? Ok, fucking dumb.
The fact that it was in development for over 10 years makes it not likely to be a scam. Probably a series of shit events and poor choices. Very disappointing though for this shit to just happen out of the blue. Them putting it onto Steam and selling it is scammy for sure though.
It is not a full game to play right now, especially what was promised. It is a laggy pos...
Does anyone have a link to Steven’s brothers supp website so I can buy their collab AoC merch? So hyped for some sandals
steaven said in kikstarter that if game dont release he will pay it back game is not released its stil lin bata so all monies be paid back this is not full game and not it says bata alpha 2 meaning not full game all u need to do is come together and fight to get moeny back big law suit but yes game not release and since creator left he owes it all back get loyer start the fight somone im broke was hoping for new game but ya sue them
A quick flick through indicates no announcements yet. So many people so worried about $50 or whatever. If you didn't play it for 20hrs or more, fair enough. But its just not a lot of money to be so worried about.
Im really missing the game. Really enjoyed what they had done so far and could see where it was going and looked forward to that. Im mid 50s and dont think I live to see a gane like this again. So Im very disappointed. Along with thousands of genuine fans who actually played it and were playing it up until the end of January. We go on in hope another company finishes it.
Congratz bro im happy for you spend that 40 well invest it soo u will be able to buy house one day... ppl who are bitching the most are ppl who spent 40$ or ppl that didnt buy game at all 😂 really happy for u
i farted once and shit came out, should i be concerned?
Buy Mortal Online 2 bro. More worth. Many from ashes switched to that game
yes 1000%
SCAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
ashes of donations
..you do realize this is just normal steam policy for mmorpgs right? If you go over the 14 day period after purchase or have over 22 hours of play time you are cooked you will not get your refund.
hello
guys wtf its a few dollars get over it
If you live in the UK you should be good due to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 - fit for purpose nor as described at the time of purchase.
This is very important:
You didn’t buy “files”.
You bought the ability to play the game.
If that ability is removed, the product is legally defective.
i dont mind if they sell it but if servers shut down i want my $44 lol
i just got my refund! i just used the SwoleBenji video and insisted
I'll do you one better. Why is Gamora?
Scammed. No money for you.
Did it work out for the Crew players in the UK?)
crazy that there STILL is no further Statement. Im actually sorry for the mods by now, as they are just as clueless as us.
yea, we all kinda just linger here to watch the ship go down sadly. I had high hopes.
And you’d need to take legal action to enforce those rights which no one is doing.
So much for "open development and communication " never did let anyone know they were running out of money or decided to have a board...
Like we didn't know there was a board to start
See ya Bitches
Im leaving this server right now...
seeya
You can just leave you don't need to announce your leaving... 😄
This isn't an airport, arrivals and departures need no announcements lol
can we finally get some answers on the future of the game ? come on chat every backer has the right to know. 
so what is the status now? is it goign to be sold or die?
(write this shit and u get a refund within 1-2 days, just got mine, but u gotta go through purchases>AOC>i have a question about this purchase then you copy paste the link in)
Dear Steam Support Team,
I am requesting a refund for Ashes of Creation due to extraordinary circumstances related to the sudden collapse of the developer, Intrepid Studios, as of February 1, 2026.
This is not a standard refund request based on gameplay preference or dissatisfaction, but a report of a broken promise and an effectively abandoned Early Access product.
Reason for this request:
Studio Closure
It has been widely reported that Intrepid Studios has ceased operations. Senior leadership has resigned, and the development team has been laid off, with WARN Act notices issued.
Abandoned Early Access Product
Ashes of Creation was sold as an Early Access title with the explicit promise of continued development and future delivery of core features. With the studio dissolving, development has permanently halted, and the advertised product will never be completed.
Loss of Product Viability
Without an active development team, the game’s servers are expected to shut down or become non-functional, rendering the product completely unplayable.
I respectfully ask Valve to treat this case similarly to previous precedents, such as The Day Before, where refunds were issued due to studio closure and false or unfulfilled advertising shortly after release.
Given these circumstances, I request a manual review of this purchase, as the product is now effectively defunct and no longer deliverable as sold.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
(your name)
Blizz has a real opportunity to make wow 2 now..
2 k playing are bots right?
Why should they? There is no reason why they should do that.
Steven is the only one on the board of directors. He took the money and F offed. And he was stupid enough to give out his address and dox himself before he scammed people.
Yeah cause like the dude isn't millionaire enough to disappear and change country if he wants to, never to be heard of again.
Probably in Dubai where he wont be touched by law
Guys chill, Quinfall releases tomorrow
Quinfall is sitting om 50% mixed on steam rn so id tread carefully
I have a bit of disposable income. any other obvious scams I could "invest" into? maybe some pre-orders? early access? crowdfunding campaigns? anything at all?
star citizen
absolutely true but for 10 bucs its worth a try, just dont buy cosmetics and stuff
its goes on sale for .99c all the time so just wait for it
paid 485$ during kickstarter. am i cooked?
you got pyramid schemed 🙁
Anyone else wonder why the servers are still up? Are they being restarted, and if yes, who is materally doing it? Who's running things atm?
Servers are up cuz the bill didnt come yet, depending on the warn period they may stay up for some weeks to mo ths, if aomeone crashes the server, its dead
ppl still camping near lion like wtf
its time to play The Quinfall lest GOOOOO
Peter jackson will buy the company and turn it into first age lotr dont worry
has this been confirmed
Are steam accepting refunds yet?
they will run until they crash or aws realises that bills were not paid.
you cold invest in my long-term product called "surviving in this economy" can give you my paypal
guys get your refund and buy Eso , GW2,Elite dangerous , GtaO , fucking hell even albion online is a more worthwhile investment . Fuck early access mmos , invest in companies that are serious enough to invest in their game to completion
is there any chance this still can be salvaged or gg?
sent a message to steam for refund they said no lol
Headline: 🚨 COLLECTING EVIDENCE FOR STEAM REFUNDS – PLEASE READ 🚨
Hi everyone,
I’m currently in a dispute with Steam Support regarding a refund for Ashes of Creation following the studio's collapse. Like many of you, I’ve been hit with the "automated" rejection citing playtime or the 14-day window.
However, I have seen reports that some players are successfully getting manual refunds, even with 70+ hours of playtime, while others (like myself) are being denied.
I am trying to build a case to prove that Steam is being inconsistent in their handling of this collapse. If you have successfully received a refund (especially if you were over the 2-hour/14-day limit), could you please share:
How many hours you had.
What category you filed the refund under (e.g., "Product not as described" or "Technical issue").
A screenshot of the successful refund confirmation (please blur out your personal info/order numbers for your own safety!).
Having proof that Steam is making exceptions for some but not others is our strongest leverage to get a "Global Refund Policy" triggered for this game—similar to what happened with The Day Before.
Post here or DM me if you prefer to stay anonymous. Let’s help each other get our money back from this rug pull.
just did this, let's see what comes out of it
sent this email an hour ago via "Refund Request - I have another problem", already received a rejection response
If at first you don’t succeed , try and try again. My mantra for stream refunds.
My friend got refund with 40hrs yesterday by ticket to steam support
There is nothing left to do there ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ Ɑ͞ ̶͞ ̶͞ ̶͞ لں͞
Keep sending them this way, Steam just refunded me.
In the text, I was descriptive and stated that this was a scam, etc.
No official statement yet. Lol i wonder if someone can check on legal register to see
If there any sue between Steven vs someone or viceversa.
Shut up
Don't suppose I'll ever get that non-steam refund 
Is it normal that Steam refused my refund requests? This 100% scam project and Steam allowed it, what a crazy world
the word scam has lost its meaning
...at its sole discretion, to honor a refund under the following conditions: The refund is requested within fourteen (14) days...
...fee included. How can I get a refund? To see if your purchase qualifies for a refund, go here. I'm having trouble...
...want to transfer or migrate my MY.GAMES account, can I get a refund? Any players who previously purchased their pre-order through...
WHERE ARE MY EMBERS STEVEN 😡
I got a full refund from Steam. Make sure you do the following:
In the steam app
-> Help
-> Support
-> select Ashes of Creation
-> Select View Reciept
-> Select "I have a question about this purchase"
-> Now you have a text box where an agent will manually look at.
Make sure to include the following subjects when you explain that ashes of creation is a broken product&promise:
"Broken product and Abandoned early access process"
"Studio closure" (include date),
"Abandoned Early access product"
"Loss of Product Viability"
.... also if you live in EU you can refer to the EU consumer protection law, that digital content that is not delivered as agreed, or that becomes non-functional due to discontinued development, is considered defective and should be eligible for refund.
Also make sure to mention that If this matter cannot be resolved through customer support, you will proceed through the EU Online Dispute Resolution platform.
Good luck Joe and everyone else.
Oh you f4king seething, hairline-receeding doomer v1rg1ns still whining "Ashes of Creation is a Scam" in 2026?? The cope is tHerMoNucleaR☢️☢️☢️
Alpha 2 is LIVE, thousands of us are already building metropolises, sieging castles, running million-gold caravans and griefing corrupt mayors while you pay $18/month to queue for the same recycled raid tier in your dead lobby slop.
Steven dumped his fortune into this dream, posted million-dollar bail for family like a chad (stay mad, creeps), and after routine layoffs Intrepid still has 200+ devs dropping monthly livestreams packed with real progress.
Zero pay-to-win, zero loot boxes, funded only by cosmetics—every dollar straight back into the game.
Keep malding over Steven leaving and "layoffs" while we build actual legacies in a world that matters!
Ashes is here, it's massive, it's GLORIOUS, and it's about to bury your dogsh1t theme park forever.
Stay poor, stay mad, stay irrelevant.
ASHES CHADS RISE UP 🔥🔥🔥Best Alpha with so much to come! ❤️

Damn that was inspiring I miss ashes already
Building a legacy on a deserted game that is being hacked (its all over reddit). Like even if half of what you said was true; dont you think the backlash and the huge amount of refunds currently processing kinda incidates the game is collapsing? I mean even if the controversy wasnt happening the game has countless bugs and so much of it was disproportionately accomodated; monster spawns, quests, etc. All of the mmo influencers have nothing good to say about it besides the graphics. Just take a look at reddit everyones saying this is the biggest failure in mmo history.
Narcs old debunking video is recirculating youtube and hes being hailed as a prophet for calling out every way this scam happened before it even happened.
U have a copypaste or sonething ? Cause i did it and they refused
People said that bots and rmt was ruining the game and would leave if actions wasent taken agaist it... @idle siren did what WoW never have been able to do, all bots and RMT is gone and people still mad?
Hello, I bought the game not through Steam but through Ashes for 110 euros. How do I get my money back, or is it gone?
Can they do refund from kickstarter?
ask ur bank lmao
should we sue asmon for promoting this JUICE game?
Project:Gorgon. Absolutely (I'm an old UO player) hits the spot. Wild skill system (everything is a skill, you even get XP in dying (its a skill)). Very very good. Humor.
sighs
I tried AoC last year in July... for a day lol bought the latest alpha access.. i think £100 it was.. i thought i'd come back to it when more content was released, i probably have less than 6 hours playtime, been so long my bank wont even refund
If I know you can be a cow in there
Bro, thats it? No further communication ? no nothing? that's it?
Forget?!
Don't fall for other scammorpgs trying to get your attention here
Why u even here lol
At least they can say they are one of the most successful mmorpg kickstarters ever.
Soooooo when are the servers going to shut down?
lol star citizen mayby more than this shit show
Anyone check if Karen and Steven have a LinkedIn?
Should go after STEAM themselves for supporting junk like AoC after it was clearly a scam. They’re protecting these asshats instead of their consumers.
Is steven still alive? Or he rly suicded
Is that the latest rumor in the block?
We can only sit and wait pretty much. Personally, I would at some point hope for SOME official communication but that is anything but guaranteed.
no they arent, they withheld the funds to protect the customers. Dont speak ignorantly about this if you dont know.
Hi there,
I understand your concern about this purchase.
We are investigating this issue further. As soon as we have more information, we will update your ticket.
Steam Support
Paul ———— this is now taking 24h when do they respond/refund?
Appreciate you all hanging out through this chaos. I could not imagine working at a burger king that advertised a new amazing burger accepted pre-orders , gave samples and just shut down with none of the staff showing up for the next week with only security around. Any staff that is still around is a bit of a zombie as their job just evaporated... I hope some good comes from this somehow but at the moment, it dont look good bob.
It's looking bleak but I want to stick around for as long as I can in here personally 
All these people saying they aren’t gonna refund because they knew what they were signing up for. We don’t care. The developers aren’t gonna lose anything they already lost their jobs. At this point refunding directly impacts Steven. He scammed us. He’s a liar and everyone should refund
From who? The only person that was left is Steven, he is also the only one with any knowledge.
He decided to step down and now just lurks in discord doing emotes lmao
who knows
i hope intrepid studios was just brought by Tencent, that way we for sure know we getting the game done an properly,.. ofc.. dreaming is free.. and steve could go to jail with di--y or something so no one else ever try to scam gamers like this.. @iron kindle i just got refund.. i got it on release day, more than 45hs played.. i got rejected once but today i got it! not all is lost!
Im selling AOC account, only 375 euro 😛 @idle siren are you intrested ?
Bet 10 of it was just trying to start the game lol, same for me
Or just play WoW and be entertained atleast 6 months of every year
Noo ty im done with WoW, cant even /spit anymore its gone soft
You can still create your own custom orange text, just create a macro
Mortal sounds dumb. Wait until Oprah's purchase of Intrepid goes through
To anyone asking about the staff that has been left unpaid: it’s worse than you think. Some staff and contractors haven’t been paid since before Christmas from what I’m finding out.
On the plus side, Alderon Games is apparently hiring any of them that reach out to them, and fast tracking the onboarding process to help get them paid and try to help them out in this situation. If you are ex-staff, or know someone who was, please let them know to reach out to Alderon-Games!
Nice fucking pipe dream buddy that shit aint happening the investors and whoever spent money on the assets get to decide how to proceed forward if someone does leak the source code theyre gonna be held liable to law suit and legal action you should really learn how laws and systems work because its not a simple matter.
Steam refunds yet?
got mine today. bought on steam release day and played for 20 hours
i have the kick starter beta pack for 25 how do i get any thing back i never even got to play
@idle siren do you still have any hope left for the game or company? Patiently waiting for the truth but the entire situation seems the worst case scenario.
Edit: I'm not particularly hoping, but some of his previous comments seemed somewhat hopeful. Hopeful he can recover the game? Hopeful the filings will clear his name? I do find it odd that he would just step away from what seemed to be his dream. Just curious if he seeing any kind of positive outcome from this
i hope they just can the whole thing any update now is likely with dollar bills in mind
the fact steam isn't giving out refunds for this fuckin scam is crazy
i know many ppl have hope but u shouldn't there is no coming back from this tbh , trust is lost 101% how you come back 😄 so don't have high hopes u gonna get disappointed. best scenario will be another studio buying this project making this world into somethign else but again who knows
Stop spreading so much shit. And lets just see what happens.
Pon orden Drac, por dios! Ya no eres el mosthated JAJAJAJAJA
Ashes pulled a Amazon Games on us boys/girls. release content for a month or 2 get all the cash they can from it then pull out like a Jenga master!
I think the bailiffs are already playing Assets of Creations
and then after a month of steam release they'll go under
really
Any word on how to get a refund for the early packs from before it went to steam?
someone posted this early:
I just got refund for $120 from buying Alpha 2 that I bought over a year ago. My credit card company is refunding me after opening fraud investigation and detailing situation.
This what I said to credit card company
“Reporting product as not delivered”
“As of February 1, 2026, it has been officially confirmed by major news outlets (Insider Gaming, PCGamesN) that Intrepid Studios has effectively collapsed. Founder Steven Sharif has resigned in protest, and mass layoffs have been issued under the WARN Act. The product I purchased is no longer functional as intended, development has ceased, and the studio is no longer able to support the game. This is a clear case of "abandonware" and an exit-scam occurring immediately after the Steam launch. Holding my funds for a product that has been permanently abandoned by its developers is a violation of fair consumer practices. The product has not been delivered, and will not be delivered due to the owner and senior staff resigning and the rest of the staff being mass laid off.”
If they ask if you have tried to reach out to company say yes once you called and they didn’t pick up which they won’t (their phone info is online ).
There is likely nobody left at the company to respond to these inquiries from the credit card companies and banks. This will become a default customer decision. Most likely if Intrepid tried to fight it they would lose that case but who is there to even try. It’s over
I worked at a company that dealt with these product not delivered inquiries from credit card companies and it was difficult for a company to win these cases against customer even when the company was 100% in the right. The credit card companies and banks want to side with customer as they are beholden to them not the companies their customers have disputes with. So use your customer rights!
Get your money back!
Don’t give them a golden parachute after abandoning the game. Take every last bit back you can
So the game will be down or not? Seems to be alot of people got laid off, but not all?
