Cheese and rice!  What a lot of ink!  Seems to me that you're taking these blogs very serious.

_{Just like meeting player’s expectations is hugely “subjective”.}

I wouldn't call the quarterly earnings reports  subjective, or the stock price.  Some expectations are playing out in a highly objecttive manner.

As to what people deserve, that's subjective, which is why there are opinion forums where opinions are expressed.

If you think NCSoft got ripped off, fine. That doesn’t take away from a man, pursuing his dream, with a fat bank account that he earned through negotiations. 

I have a hard time making sense of what you write here.    Are you saying all terms of some contract were met?    Or are you saying that NcSoft management is inept and deserves what it got?

"I'm a fanboi of the game." Fixed it for you.

I don't like to engage in ad hominems, but I have read your posts about TR and think it's a pretty apt description. A bit harsh considering your post had some fair points, but I hold to it based on reading other threads.

Try and be a bit more objective about this. If TR gets turned around and becomes the deep, ground-breaking game it was billed as I will be one of the first to sing its praises from the highest mountain, but based on the past several months and RG's ridiculous self-aggrandizing space-tourist stunt  I don't think you can fault myself or the others for our lack of faith.

I only talk about it, because like I said, seeing this happen for me is disheartening considering I still consider RG one of the great early luminaries of PC gaming. It's like pulling back the curtain and seeing the wizard for what he really is.

If Tabula Rasa had launched the way it did, but had a serious and rapid release of patches and additional content then this conversation would not be happening and most of us would probably think RG's space flight was totally awesome. Instead we get a new coined term "Soon(tm)" to descibe the crappy lackadasical development process. How sad is that?

No, I'm a fan of the game. There's a huge difference.

A fanboi screams how invalid and stupid a person is who has a disparaging opinion against the game.

Just like a troll throws the word "fanboi" around to anyone that doesn't whole heartily agree with their opinion that the game is shit.

I've stated plenty of times, in plenty of posts "things aren't perfect", but I like this game, the way it is, and I find more virtues in it then failures. You may not feel the same way, but I don't give a shit.

At this point, you're a fanboi.   There's nothing wrong with being dedicated to a game, but that's the label you're going to get when you still have faith in a game after the build-up and hype followed by the fiasco TR has seen. 

LIke the old saying goes, Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.  Fool me into paying to beta-test a half-baked game and continuing to support the developers who screwed things up, shame on fanbois. 

Guess I'm a fanboi then...  Currently enjoying the game and hearing great things about D11 on the test server. So yeah looking forward to D11.

Some people find it hard that others like a game they did not enjoy or agree with and throw out the term fanboi. The Fanboi term is so overused like perscription drugs.

Posting a link about NCSoft layoffs that have nothing to do with Tabula Rasa. Good for you!

Propagated false rumors is a thing, even implied ones like this.

TR is not going anywhere right now.

As for RG in space... you guys have to be kidding me? Do you seriously think that NCSoft shareholders really care what RG does with the money they gave him?

When your employer gives you your paycheck, do they get pissed at you because you spent it on your car?

RG's name is tied to the game. He has a stake in it as much as NCSoft and wants to see it succeed. So he takes his monumental event of going into space and uses it as a promotional gimmick. You guys might not like it, but the fact is very, very, few people will ever get anything to call their own in space. I think it is pretty cool for RG/NCSoft to be doing this, even if it is only a marketing ploy.

A day after the parent company announces a drop in profits, they lay off 21 people from the Austin Office, which runs Tabula Rasa, and you see no link.

That's impressive!

So uh...what am I supposed to do with the cup of semen in my freezer? 

 Dear mod--

Since there are now two threads on Operation Immortality, maybe they could be joined together or labeled one and two?
