MattScott 15247 Posted yesterday at 05:15 AM Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've done something like this, but in light of where we are at in CS, I think the community could benefit from a bit more transparency. Simply put - Customer Support is a mess. We tried switching to Zoho months ago, and instead of making things better, they got worse. It appears some sort of glitch in the setup of our queues caused specific types of tickets to get siphoned out of our main dashboard. It took us a bit to figure out that hundreds of players weren't being addressed properly, and once we did, we found significant bugs in the new system overall. So at the end of March we switched back to Zendesk. It's expensive, but it works. You guys should know that switching customer support systems isn't something we take likely. Each time we do it, the team has to backup all the history and evidence and load it up in a side tool so that we can look it all up without referring back to the original system. If you haven't already seen the message posted at the end of March, here is it again: Quote Hello everyone! We wanted to let you know that we’ve officially moved our support system from Zoho Desk to Zendesk. This change was made to provide a smoother, more efficient support experience for all of you! If you've opened a ticket through Zoho and still need help, please reply directly to your/our last response in that email thread. This will ensure we can continue assisting you without any delays. From now on, all new support tickets should be submitted through our Zendesk platform. We’re excited about this upgrade and appreciate your patience during this transition. Thank you for your continued support! IMPORTANT: If you haven't already, please reply directly to your/our last response by email. This will trigger our system to pull proper information over from our backup for your ticket. Until further notice, I'm going to start posting weekly stats on where Customer Service is at. DISCLAIMER: This week's stats look a lot better than they really are. Many players still haven't replied to their old Zoho ticket email. I'm guessing as word gets out and players read this thread, the number of tickets will jump up dramatically. Also, the oldest ticket starts the day we reactivated Zendesk. It's not the actual date of the oldest ticket because the original ticket date was lost in the transition. TL;DR: If you want your ticket addressed, now is the perfect time to reply and bump yourself up in the queues. STATS for 4/4/2025: Oldest ticket: March 26 Total Tickets in the system: 352 Unassigned Tickets: 114 Assigned Unsolved Tickets: 165 Pending Tickets: 35 Thanks, Matt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
