Its PWI/YNK fault for bring Ph scammer here, they selling ph for $$ too in game kiosk and GMs got blind about it.
I'd rather call this a pathetic way of scamming =.= SMH
A big FYI for those that are not savvy to the way an online game works:
1. A legitimate Game Staff Member will *NEVER*, ever, request personal information from you. They will instruct you to use the support system and assume you know how.
2. All legitimate Game Staff Members are forbidden on pain of immediate job termination to whisper to a single person and make offers to them.
3. A legitimate Game Staff Member will *NEVER* say something lame like "A +18 UPG awaits you" <--- instant red flag. they always spell out EXACTLY what is being offered and never in a whisper.
4. If the whispers are made in English with really bad syntax... DING! DING! DING! We got us a scammer!
if you ever see anything like the trolling messages above, immediately create a ticket and report it. The staff will tell you if it is legitimate or they will thank you for catching the sneaky thief.
even in other PH games they do this.
No flame intended but most of the scmamers are from PH. I wish they'll stop doing it.Quote:

Next time, yes. Until then, however, the above is still wrong. You had it almost correct, though.Quote:

I find it funny.
I think so.Quote:

Actually, in the first case, that comma is perfectly in place as it does not connect two full sentences (in which case the word 'however' should have been preceded by a semicolon).Quote:

Yet it's not entirely wrong in either case - unless I'm gravely mistaken.
Since English is my fourth language - I tend to use older grammar, as I'm not being updated on a regular basis (school is now long past due).
Although I stand corrected and should perhaps use less punctuation where possible. It easily becomes a bad habbit..
wow u guys are arguing over a comma while people are arguing over what color the dress is lmao.
Wars have been fought over less.Quote:

You are usually pretty good the punctuation usage.Quote:

In your first usage you have the commas before and after the "however" which when spoken sounds like:
"Until then {pause} however {pause} the above is still wrong."
Which to me seems a little unnatural in English when you enunciate it.
Either of these seem more natural to me.
"Until then however, the above is still wrong."
"Until then however {pause} the above is still wrong." (this one gives equal emphasis to either side of the however)
"Until then, however the above is still wrong."
"Until then {pause} however the above is still wrong." (this one puts more emphasis on the clause following the however).
I know English is not your primary language, but you do have an above average grasp if it even among those having English as a primary language.

If 'however' indicates that the relationship between two independent clauses is one of contrast/opposition (used as a conjunctive adverb to make a compound sentence) - a semi-colon is to be used before and a comma after it. (Something I actually didn't know, semi-colons is not something I see often used.)
However, if you start a sentence with 'however' it must be immediately followed by a comma and a complete sentence thereafter (regular and probably easiest use of the word).
Using it as an aside allows for a comma both before and after the word - at least, that's what I keep encountering on the internet. http://www.sonoma.edu/users/f/farahm...es/however.pdf (not the only source I used)
Of course, you can also use it in the context 'by whatever means' (see source) - in which case neither comma nor semi-colon is required. E.g.: "However much chocolate I gave LadyIntegra, she was never satisfied."
I can conclude that it's better to avoid the word entirely when it's not fully clear, and just reform the sentence instead, heh.
Wow - I feel educated again. I'll never be able to read a sentence with 'however' in it as I did before :(.
Everything in the sentence preceding the words "however" or "but" is unimportant and can be ignored :D
