Hey Townies,

We are still working through the backlog of emails related to password resets. It seems many users either used fake emails, emails they no longer have access to, or misspelled their email on account creation. There are also a small number of users who's accounts did not get properly entered into our system, and are missing an email. After talking about the backlog with the rest of the team, and discussing some options to make things easier for all of you we came up with an idea.

When Facebook and Steam users log in using the one click login their respective IDs are sent down, and this can't really be faked. We decided to change up the lock out system some for these kinds of users, so that If they use this method they can still login. If you try to login through the normal path by entering your information in though you will still be locked out until you change your password.

We will continue to work through the emails as fast as we can, and I now have some back up to help me work through it. Be aware that we are a small company of only 5 people, and normally it is just my job to handle Facebook, Twitter, and emails, but our COO is giving me some help since even with working 12-16 hour days It's all I can do to keep the number of unread emails from going up. With his help we are starting to make a real dent now though, and we hope to be caught up before the end of the week.

Small update;

The automatic response emails were temporarily disabled as of 1/14/2020. Please just email the Developers normally (once), and you will be responded to when they get to your email in their queue.

Thanks.

Hey Townie!

Your request (XXXX) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff.

My account was frozen on Steam due to a refund.
When you purchased the game on Steam you received 2,000 Town Points, double Merit Points earned, and the Steambot skin. Due to refund abuse we have started to crack down of people that refunded the game after claiming these rewards. You will need to repurchase the game on Steam from the Steam account you originally used to purchase the game. If you have the game in your Steam library currently try logging in, if you get the error and it is in your library, then close the app, and try again and it should work.

Unless you have additional comments or the common solutions helped solve your reasoning for sending in a ticket, please do not respond to the email. It will just bump up your ticket response time. Thanks.
