Gaming is life...

Today MMORPG.com has made the difficult decision to remove the game "Mourning" from our list of MMORPG's as well as shut down our Mourning specific forums.

We would like to clarify that this decision was not based on the actions of any community members at MMORPG.com - rather our core feelings about the company publishing and funding this project, and the way they treat us and their community.

As always, we would like to encourage our community to comment on this news post and let us know how you feel.

Thanks to all of our members you for your continued support of MMORPG.com.

"Yeah, I've been to Las Vegas. It's a nice town if you hate yourself."

Can you name any specific instances that prompted this?

Well, this entire decision is based on the countless private messages we have received from Limitless Horizons Entertainment.  I do not feel it is right to discuss the details of these communications - however I can say that we did not like their tone towards our site, or staff and our community.

"I am a soldier. I fight where I am told, and I win where I fight."

I applaud the move. MMORPG.com was very clearly Mourning's chief source of referrals; the way developers and followers of the game spoke of this community, however, was unacceptable. They reap what they sow and will now suffer the consequences of their poor choices in the public relations department.

My only regret, however, is that gamers who do find Mourning in its own little corner of the internet... they'll be unaware of our case against them, and be forced to discover it the hard way.

What? Who? How come? Where? When? Why?

You what?

Really, this all sounds like big deal. I mean, it should be explained in more detail, I daresay. That WAS a major title out there, so I guess like... welll...

This can't help but arouse even more noise than the Wish close-down. Come on, do you really expect to have this issue unnoticed?

I never really followed Mourning or hung around either forum... think you could comment on what they felt you were doing wrong or were upset about? If you dont want to poke the hornets nest then its understandable.

Either that, or people will get curious to see what all this fuss is about and hit up the official site, or someone else's coverage >_>

You can still discuss this game at our site - our general boards will be fine for this.  This move is not to censor our members - rather to stop promoting this product.
