As a player returning after a few years I am seeing alot of threads appealing to SOE for one thing or another.
Is this game not worth returning to? I have to say it's kinda dishearting to see all this going on. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Though it was appropriate :)Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high.
Heave ho,
thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.The king and his men
stole the queen from her bed
and bound her in her Bones.
The seas be ours
and by the powers
where we will we’ll roam.Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.Some men have died
and some are alive
and others sail on the sea
– with the keys to the cage…
and the Devil to pay
we lay to Fiddler’s Green!The bell has been raised
from it’s watery grave…
Do you hear it’s sepulchral tone?
We are a call to all,
pay head the squall
and turn your sail toward home!Yo, ho, haul together,
hoist the Colors high…
Heave ho, thieves and beggars,
never shall we die.
I dropped a little post in there and there is still a lot more I'd like to say, but I agree with Zippy really.
I don't think this will make much of a difference, in the grand scheme of things. Why? Because we've seen it all before. Obviously, I'm still going to drop my opinion in on things, but in the end I wouldn't be suprised if it meant anything.
It's getting to the stage where you have to watch how you word everything, because it might be construed as excessively negative, or whatever, because it's dealing with a fragile topic.
I'm Raijinn's #1 criminal apparently. I said his excuses were lack luster, and I even thanked him for doing his job when reporting about the extension on the halloween update.It's getting to the stage where you have to watch how you word everything, because it might be construed as excessively negative, or whatever, because it's dealing with a fragile topic.
Yeah I agree with Remag this time...banning is bad...word to the devs/mods/csrs/ccrs/and whoever else...if they make your life a living hell do what we all do...survive it...make it soo bad on that paticular person that they want to leave..banning is an easy out...though ..i don't get why people hang around if they hate..then again i do...to give people like me a chance to pwn them back that much harder...see the world is a circle..much like life..no matter what you do..you can't just say f'it and ban it..i'm probably not making this case scenario any better but ..this thread was for voicing...and there,sweethearts, its heard...
PS i <3 you all players,mods ,devs(people i failed to mention)...so lets continue to b*tch like a happy family and all shall be normal...\m/><\m/

If you're looking to log in, play the game, and have fun I'd say it's worth it. I always loved the Matrix concept and wish the day I could be plugged into a VR simulator and produce energy in a pod as my employment to come. In terms of actual gameplay, some content areas have greatly improved. Dataminer in my opinion has been made into what we always asked for, a few new quests are in, some other stuff, in general the updates are moving things along. My biggest complaint is the deficiencies in the combat system.
The forums, eh, depends on what you consider fun I suppose. They seem to go through these up and down cycles. People are passionate about the game and that's a good thing. There are a couple semi-legit complaints. None that I would recommend you really worry about. The whole CRM thing for example, sure, I agree a producer letter or week in review would be neat. At the same time, I don't think it's super critical in the grand scheme of things. From what I remember we only got one from our original producer. I think his name was Andy Kaplan, eh, could be making that up, been a long time.
On the main topic:
Walrus,
You have a forum account and all, you're the producer. The next and final level greivances should go to rather than having them spill over into general SOE and other forums. If you felt like putting a letter out, you would regardless of the current CRM. I'm honestly surprised you haven't made any effort to step in and help/coach Raijinn through some of this. Perhaps look in and evaluate what's happening once every month or two. With a little communication we could probably have avoided the escalation of this issue.
Thank you for considering my opinion.
P.S. Bans except in the most extreme cases are ridiculous. A permaban as a result of this matter is absurd and obscene. A timed ban, clearly unnecessary. Addressing the cause of the negativity would be a reasonable solution.
FTW
Banning for excessive negativity is the biggest load of poppycock I've ever seen in my life.
