It is not against the rules to "hold the stock at the price we thought it should be at" by placing many sell orders. We took a very hands-off approach by allowing players to freely trade the stock as they had thought it was valued. As a I recall, there was a lot of discussion about how players believed Project HAMMER was artificially held down at 2 DKP and players said they would buy through this eventually. It appears that players took the trading of Project HAMMER into some kind of battle of ideas rather than normal trading. In retrospect, we took too much of a hands-off approach. However, this is all in the past and we have tried to learn from this incident.
We ended up cashing out Project HAMMER based on all the trading since the stock began a price determination period. We allowed the community to discuss this solution verses a refund. In the end, it appeared the cash out was the solution the community was most happy with.
I emailed you personally requesting your feedback but have not heard anything. Your actions certainly speak loudly, but we have always been open to listening to your feedback. I am sorry that you and SERAPHrowen felt it was necessary to stage something to get our attention. We are always available via email and try to get back to you within 24 hours.
We have rolled back the trades and do welcome you back to the community. In the future, please let us know when you are upset about something because we do not have telepathy. We only know of problems when you report them. This is a real beta. We do require your feedback to make a better product. Thanks.
