That avenue was always disjointed and inconsistent and never really open or reliable.

HA HA fuck you, Roger. And don't vote for Obama.

eq2 summit HAHAHAHA, man it's honestly just a fucking game that you really shouldn't spend more than on hour on a day. This is where 'get a life' really comes in. Not trying to sound all smart assy but as one who has wasted way too much life on a simple video game, I have to say the sooner you treat itas it is the better for you. Don't expect shit from SOE, they can downright ignore absolutely all of this if they want to and i bet they won't lose more than a handful of players over their supposed 'scandal'. The only reason they are actually losing their player base is because the game just downright fucking blows, not because they have 3 GMs feeding NPU all of the encounter strats who then go on and brag about being #1.

LOL that's so lame.

But you don't need SOE to make this site a success. This is entirely community driven. You'll miss the perks though, but this site will probably be better now that there's nothing to hold back.

Respect?

I haven't felt any respect from SOE in many years. Quite the opposite in fact. And this bullshit with astaroth just underlines it. Hey devs, whose cock do we have to suck to get our own strats hand fed to us?

Warhammer isn't out yet, so I'll enjoy my guildies company in EQ2 until it is. But fuck SOE. They drove thousands of player off their own forums and onto Flames, and now they've pissed all over them.

From what i can see, Snark has posted information about the heavy hitters in SOE's Community Relations dept. A large portion of this information about these employees you can easily google up on the internet or find by doing some minor research on this site and EQ2's official forums as well as from EQ2Players. How about opening a quick information guide that comes with your retail game copy... lots of names in there.

Its also fairly easy with minor research skills to find most of the information leading to a tie of IRL name to In Game handles. Simply Googling these people's names can produce a link to their blogs. Also, if any of these employees have made freely available to the public their personal information then that is on them to change and make private. In his defense, Snark states that he has withheld information that is sensitive within HIS post's presence on the internet, and he has.

IANAL but I'm pretty sure that he's not posting anything that I myself, part of the general EQ2 community, could not accomplish finding by looking for these people on technology and gaming industry sites in general and therefore not doing anything illegal.

I'm sure most of us working in the restrictive confines of a corporate structure have heard about all those blog horror stories. Company employees that have a medium to large public appearance should know better than to post their own personal information on a blog. I think that stating that he is doing something wrong by linking directly to personal information is a bit extreme.. its a folly on THOSE people to make it freely available.

IMO, Snark isn't holding anyone hostage. He's giving us the same outlet that any outraged citizen would use in comparison to contact their local government representatives with issues they want to see fixed. Those government officials also receive hate mail when something doesn't go right in the public eye.

SOE has already done alot of the damage by consistently testing their game on production (live) servers each release. What more, they involve their community that plays their game to "test" that end game content with them and then go out into the community and what... expect them to have erased their memory of 1334 strats? As someone said.. follow around certain people getting their epics on day one of release and hey.. how come they already know where to go? That's so naive its painful!!

Are the dev's unable to raid their own content repeatedly as non invincible players and produce the bugs necessary to "fix" things? It would appear so. The consequences of those actions.. This lovely train wreck... were bound to occur.

Cuz

You got it backwards there Jim.

Nobody is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to pay $15/mo. You could always spend it elsewhere.

I don't care how many friends regularly go to a restaurant, if the cook pisses in my food, I'm not going to spend my money there.

If you're so worried about your friends, there's always e-mail, IMs, Vent/TS/Skype, and a host of other ways to stay in touch. If the game is SUCH a heap of shit in your eyes, stop paying for the heaping pile of shit and find something more to your liking.
