The live client will be even newer than both combined. The Open client will be patched, both with parts of the Closed along with fixes for the current problems. And no, it´s not patched yet.

No-one is trying to silence anyone, just conveying what´s going on. Again, believe it or not but don´t ask for an answer if you don´t want to hear it.

Yes but atm moderators are employees of funcom... so odds are he/she has direct lines of contact with said devs?

Not necessarily. You can moderate from anywhere, and typically its a completely different department. They may never even meet.

Moderators are generally not much more than fans that can spell and have good grammar, and can be trusted to uphold the forums rules. They have nothing to do with any part of development, in most cases.

In fact most times it a position of a volunteer from the community.

So funcom is letting him lie?

More like he is misinformed,

Just stop and think for just one moment.  We see this in real life all the time and yet you deny it with your last breath when it comes to gaming companies.  Corporations lie to their customers.  They do it all the time.  They do it to make money.  Sometimes the government has to intervene because of all the lying and cheating.  Why the hell is it so hard for you people to think that a gaming corporation might be lying?  They're just as full of greedy, lying individuals as any other in corporate America.

Are you really so damn addicted to online gaming that you'll not only wear rose tinted glasses, but will blatantly support these gaming corporations against your own peers?  Must I remind you who has more to gain from lying?  I mean, really, we've seen it from SOE with SWG and Vanguard.  We've seen it with the various companies that have owned Horizons over the years.  It's nothing new and it seems to be very common in many corporations.

It's one thing to be the devil's advocate, but you people take it to another level and you're frigging annoying to boot.

LOL, if you got screwed by vanguard now ur bitching then thats your fault. That game was looking to be a disaster from day 1. Also, some corporations revolve around customer service, because they know that, customers come first, and not all lie, only idiots will fall for lies, and you sir look like one of them.
