Ack game intruder!! lol I was looking at that site earlier laughing to myself about how the forums were down saying to myself "It figures". I also had a good laugh at the 14 day trial ad for HZ thinking now how are you supposed to play with no character creation. I say let the world know of such events.
Free Nelson Mand.. oh ya he is free um.. buy peeps they are tasty!
Australians are recieving it too
Australian players are recieving this as well ( edit cancelled h.z account email addys i might add)
email is labeled as [email protected] from a nick dobbins
not saying anything else bout this.
Received this as well -- and cannot remember agreeing to do so when I created the account.
I would like to see an official statement on this matter, therefore I think Tzael is right to post this here.

A gnomish house should not just sit there, it should definitely DO something!
I came here since I received the same newsletter last night just to check if others received it as well and I believe this thread confirms it.
Just a quick statement from my side to clear a few things quickly:
- There was NO transfer of account information from Game Network to Tulga Games
- Back in December 2005 we agreed with David Bowman that it might have been worth to try again with the Transatlantic Accounts and we started working on them (actually they did, since it would have been their task and they were given proper accesses to complete the work). This would have required a link between the two account databases (European and North American) to work.
- We haven't heard from them anymore until Tulga Games sent that newsletter to the whole European customers base advertising the North American shards. Questioned them about it, we never received a reply.
- After the sale I've been confirmed by David Bowman himself (after months of silence, broken only after the sale) that this shouldn't have happened and he confirmed to me that all the information were "destroyed" after the mail was sent, apologizing for what happened. I still have the logs of the chat with him, but I won't post them unless necessary (as they contain reserved information).
- Quite obviously the fact that the information were removed was not true and the information were still present and transfered to EI Interactive
- EI Interactive has been informed immediately about this after the sale and we discussed the issue with them for weeks.
- EI Interactive agreed to work to remove the information to prevent any further issue, this was part of the plan to perform the transition of EU players unto their service (to be more precise this should have been the first step to be completed).
That's all I can comment at this moment...
Well, Game Intruder is run by EI so technically they didn't sell or give your info to any 3rd party, they just sent you spam. :P (They sent me spam too.)
Still, I don't know enough about the drama revolving around Unity to comment on mails sent to EU subscribers ...
This IS about Unity people who get the email. And we are still run by GN. NOT EI.Originally Posted by Fridlekh
So not only you don't know enough about the Unity Drama (lol, I can see the movie? bestselling book etc.. It's not that much of a drama eally) you obviously didn't read/understood this thread.
Hurray! Morrison is back at his house near Bristugo!
And the wisps on wisp isle are moving again!
If you can't see 'em, you know you've got proper invisible runes.
I recived 2 mails fro EII one for my original account created back in february 2004 and one for my spare account created january 2006.
I tried to use the log on from my second account to create and log on to Chaos a few weeks before EII took over HZ.
I was unable to do so.
Account name and password not found.
Today have I been able to use the infomation and create a Trial account, if this means that GN have continued working on the account merger up to shortly before they sold HZ I dont know.
I just cant find any other way to explain where they have gotten my log on information from.
Since I have never before used that email adresss to anything related to EII must they have obtained it from GN.
Personaly I have no problem with that since i see the attemped account merger as an attemp to improve things for the Unity players.
Others rather obviusly looks at it differently. If this as tzael indicates is a violation of the legislation we have within the EEC I do not know.
However EII realy should check up un such matters before sending out such things.
