Its a shame that about 5% of posters have succeded in getting the Mourning forums shut down on this board (and they seem to have originated from one guild). THe Mourning discussion forum was very enjoyable and there were some good arguments both from those who supported and opposed the game (who were the vast majority of posters).

As stated in the news post - the posts in the forums had nothing to do with our decision. We encourage our community to speak freely so long as they can do so without attacking other members.

Don't you think you took a little too far? i mean if you guys are claiming to be an mmo coverage site, shouldnt you cover all mmo's? i mean your only hurting yourselves by doing this. I want mmorpg.com to succeed and i like it as a source of information, but if you are going to let your personal interactions with a company affect your judgment on filtering out various games then people are going to be less confident in your ability to bring them the news. If you feel that there was some wrong done by the mourning devs, then if youc an legally post and contribute to the discussions on the game, but activiley avoiding a game that is a part of the a subject you are covering and then posting some of the things youve posted in here already is just masacistic.

If you want to be THE mmo site then you can't be prejudice.

They don't have to take abuse either, and it sounds like that's all they were getting for their trouble in covering Mourning. 

Personally, I like MMORPG.com even more now, knowing that they are not going to fold, or play lap dog to every game company that thinks they should be.

TIAMAT POSTED THIS : "The deletion of Mourning forums and game from MMORPG.com was due to our express request.

We don't need boards which are exactly the opposite of the concepts based on which we founded our community.

That's the same reason because of which we refused to make VN boards as Mourning game boards. You can't create a true community nor get any help from some boards filled up more than 90% with insulting languages and flame wars.

Also, we were always encuraged out community to speak up their minds, and act like people with spine. We don't need mindless fanbois as our followers, the same as we don't need trolls messing up our boards.

We didn't shout the mouth of threads or discussions saying bad things about our game, because ALL the input and feedback is needed in order to make things work as they really should. A developer must be really stupid to do that to his community.

All we EVER asked was to use a common sense language and support your saying with facts and examples, and mostly banned only people which used bad language or trolled the boards. I said mostly because there were some a few exceptions allready well known from this, but we hope that we already solved that, and it will never happens again.

Also, I don't understand the behavior of MMORPG staff. we never said MMORPG.com sucks, we just said Mourning boards from their site are a lame excuse of a forum. I guess we had the right to say that about the forum of OUR game from their site. There weren't mature discussion about our game in there, as they should as it was a game's board, but in fact only imature people trolling everything related with our game, like all the Mourning-is-a-scum magic or the billing-thinggye. I guess if those kinds of posts would have been made on other game's forums in there, they would have been quickly dealt with.. but of course, for Mourning wasn't the case.. Also, they didn't did anything regarding all the ones which posted in there all sort of stupid things to feed those flame wars and preteding they are from our staff.

Yet MMORPG staff came up and said some things about us which should have never be said in a professional relationship.

That's why I said yes when our discussion came to the point of which we should have to ask from MMORPG staff to entirely delete Mourning game and its forums from their site.

And I'm quite sure that not we are the ones who'll have to lose from this.

And as a last thing, it's astonishing to see that they claim they were the ones doing this because they felt so:

quote: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 behind this project, and the way they treat us and their community.

My dear MMORPG staff, what about the fact the WE expressely asked you to do this?

I gues we'll see who was right about this. Atm I'm just glad we don't have to deal anymore with all the trollings from those forums."

So just because the arent funded with corp fat pigs means you cant mod their boards and get the kids banned? Mourning is doing everything they arent taking handouts by SOE Blizzard or Microsfot. MMORPG tell the story right.

Well to be honest, if the above was indeed posted by an official representative of the company making Mourning, I'm much, much more inclined to believe mmorpg.com... No professional company would ever comunicate in this way, not even behind closed doors. It looks more like a teenager throwing a tantrum over not getting his own way....

I'm realy glad I spotted this. I was soemwhat interested in Mourning and I'm often not much inclined to be swayed by the opinion of those on third party messageboards. But seeing this, I would not touch anything concerning Mourning with a 100 yard pole. Thank you mmorpg.com!!

Just to let the staff of mmorpg.com know that anyone who posts on this thread with 1 post and is bashing our forums is from mourning. FL encouraged them to this

[q] You may comment on their decision to remove the game by posting in this thread on their site.

Anyway, good move on mmorpg.com part. If you are not updated, the admins of mourning were threating mmorpg.com users on the forums. They went and asked mmorpg without court order to hand over the information of users. This is on top of them on the forums flaming paratropper in representing mmorpg.com. Last of all, mmorpg.com was giving mourning free presstime while being flamed by the Romanian Staff.

I just feel sorry for the Devs who are behind the scenes - the artists, the programmers, the designers... all that work will pretty much be wasted since I see a bad end for this game. Its a shame, some of those new screenshots were looking very nice. Unless of course the entire company acts as their Community Reps do...

i dont blame you. their staff isnt the best of staffs, especially with the way they treat their community.
i really dont care but eventually i just cancelled my pre-order until the game comes out..then ill see how its going. until then i don't wanna put any money on it.

Quit "mourning" over Mourning. This game is the biggest load of crap EVAR.
It looked like Dragon Empires roflmao.

He is romanian and by his own admition his typing skills are lacking im sure he is frustrated with what is goin on now, but nobody is telling us the fans and public any thing other then "well we hate mmorpg"... "oh yeah????, we Hate mourning.com!!!!!"

its like watching two kids fighting because somebody told one of them the other one hates them.
