1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Volks after event

May 18, 2005

    1. Agreed. It just doesn't seem like the "first come first serve, fight tooth and nail only to get a server overload" system works. At least with a lottery system, everyone feels like they've got an equal chance at getting what they want, and while there's still plenty of nail-biting and waiting to hear back, at least there's much less real-time frustration and less of an "if only" feeling.

      Regardless of how the event was run, congrats to those of you who were lucky enough to snag the dolls you wanted!

    2. Does anyone know if the sale for the clothes is still taking place tonight? The 22nd date is crossed off, but I can't find anything that actually explains the 28th/29th dates. *_*

    7. ... I hate to be a naysayer, but it looks like they totally cancelled the afterevent.

    8. This is worse than what happened during the last after-event. At least last time the webpage came back up after a couple of hours. This time it took like, half a day! Yeesh.

      Maybe they are re-considering their way of doing things and will hold a lottery? At least, that's what I'm hoping. I'd really like a chance at the white SDC outfit.

    9. Wow. So, does that mean anyone who *did* manage to order will have to watch their successful order be cancelled?

      I think this has to be a first ...

    10. No I don't think so I am pretty sure they will honor the orders
       
      #150 ponygery, May 21, 2005
    11. A notice to that effect would be nice. :|

      I have never been so worked up over a doll event. I must -really- love Volks. :barf
       
      #151 krambear, May 21, 2005
    12. Nothing I guess they really cancel the thing for tonight....
       
      #152 ponygery, May 22, 2005
    13. Yeah, you'd think they could at least put *some* sort of notice up, saying whether everything's been put on hold, or whether it's been cancelled altogether. :(

    14. From their Japanese site:

      They didn't anticipate the flow, very sorry to anyone who tried visiting the site after 10 on May 21. They're going to rethink the idea of holding an after event on the internet and they know that all of this is a crappy excuse, so please wait a while.

      :| :cry:

    15. It really frustrates me that they have no info.
       
      #155 ponygery, May 22, 2005
    16. i DON'T KNOW WHAT MAKES THEN THINK THAT THE PROBLEM IS GOING TO BE FIX BY DOING ANOTHER AFTER EVENT
       
      #156 ponygery, May 22, 2005
    17. Where do you get that they're going to do another after event?
       
      #157 krambear, May 22, 2005
    18. I think that's exactly why they're rethinking the whole idea of holding the online events at all anymore. Let's hope they decide to continue holding them with a lottery or some other strategy instead of just never having them at all.

    19. did we ever figure out what exactly the 'some items available in limited quantities' thing means? I'm getting that message on the dress I want.
       
      #159 Amy, May 22, 2005
    20. Amy, I don't think anyone can access any of the ordering functions at this point. As of right now, Volks has made everything inaccessible while they rethink the online event process. Hopefully there will be new news soon!
