Really? That's fucking bullshit, you get off on it. You've got outspoken analytical nerd shoved so far up your ass that I can easily picture you standing infront of the mirror practicing your conversations that you have on the forums in your bathroom.

I'm surprised you actually came to these forums considering how many people can't fucking stand you on the official forums, you and your little buddy kendricke are not liked anywhere.

I bet you walk through life constantly telling yourself, "it's not bad being an SOE fanboi, people will love you, even just one who's not on the official team!!!"

And, you're welcome. You know EQ2 is going down the shitter when you move here to get your daily dose of "I know more about SOE than anyone else." Enough people have moved on that you're just begging for attention.

To me you're just a dirty dev fuckbag.

We're talking about a game, a game we all generally enjoy playing, so why should you care if someone who enjoys playing that game actually defends it? Or is it simply not cool to be anything but bitter and cynical?

Furthermore, you act like I go out of my way to defend SOE at every turn. This is of course, not true. I do defend them against many of the more outrageous or unjustified attacks, but equally, I disagree with them on many design issues in EQ2. However, I at least try to present my criticisms in a constructive manner, as opposed to calling the devs names. Perhaps I should make a point to include more 'homos', 'retards', and 'douchebags' in my posts? Is that what gets respect around here?

I don't think I've ever seen you be against anything SOE has done, and that's what bites me. You seem like a smart enough guy to know that without critism things can't improve. Sure constructive critism is a cute concept, but will it really have any more weight than outrageous versions of the same complaint? Both will be ignored unless they want feedback.

Now if you add in the fact that LoN is nothing more than plat for cash with pictures, guilds cuddling with devs for special favours, the dullest expansion since Alaska became a state, you'll have quite a bit of displeasure with the providers. So having someone that (seemingly) does nothing but defend them, when quite a few of us have never been this disapointed will cause a clash in perspectives.

LoN has been generally well received in my experience. The biggest complaint people seem to have is with the in-game SOE spam and having to download LoN patches, Most I've talked range from enjoying it to indifferent, but none thus far see it as plat for cash.

The UT test transfer issue, I admit, was a mistake by SOE, but I was also amazed by the level of rumor being treated as fact and the desire by many people to twist the words of SOE staff in the worst possible manner. SOE fucked up, no doubt, but the community did not avail itself either.

Finally, RoK has seen easily a dozen people return to my guild, and while people have their complaints about itemization and the balance between group and solo content, overall, RoK is being very well received among the people I play with. Sure, some things could be improved upon, but that's the case with any expansion. I've experienced RoK as a solid and generally enjoyable expansion that could be made even better by some improved itemization, a few heroic quest timelines and maybe a 70-75 heroic instance.

I don't know anyone that plays LoN.

The transfer debacle we agree with.

Of course RoK would bring back players. It's new content. However, compared to the other XPs we've had it is the most bare bones. I've seen players come back too, I have also heard that a lot of them have left again already.

I wish you the best of luck in whatever you are doing.

Little birdies say you are going with a start up, or doing your own thing.

Care to share bud?

Thanks!

Total bummer, I actually got him on the phone once about a year ago when I was having problems with an old account. He fixxed some shit in 5 mnutes that I had been on Tech supprts ass to handle for two weeks.That kinda loyalty to customers will be sorely missed. Good luck man!!!

Tell these folks your forum handle on the official boards. Also in-game character, guild, server, etc.

His official forum handle is the same as his EQ2 handle. And I still have yet to see him NOT defend SOE in Any post I have read here and on the forums.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you mean by that? Please be more specific. Are you sure 'avail' is the correct word for the point you were trying to make?

It seems the community was wrong for calling SOE on their bullshit. We are supposed to stand by while they break rules they set up. But let one of us break the rules and see if we dont get suspended or banned. Are we allowed to ban them?

What I mean is that the community showed itself to be incredibly vicious in their attacks on SOE, twisting the words of SOE reps and continuously feeding off rumors and wild speculation, such that many people ended up convincing themselves the problem was far worse than it really was.

To an outsider, it makes the MMO community look like it is unable to deal with a mistake with any degree of perspective and maturity. The EQ2 community had an opportunity to present itself well in an issue that is likely to gain at least some exposure in the non-MMO media, but instead came off looking like a mix of rabid dogs and whiny children.
