You're funny, Fidus. As one of those people you're labeling as a 'bnet kiddie,' I am no such thing. I was a fan of the game. I've been following the game since July 04. I saw flaws in their public relations. I was thoughtful, and I was productive... I wrote a post about it: Shortly after, I realized Mourning was beyond saving. In your entire post, you did not ONCE allude to exactly what it was the Mourning devs did to prompt all of this. You have obviously 'learned' everything from a very biased informant. Are you even aware of the events surrounding the spring ban fest? That is essentially the straw that broke the camels back, and that same night I went into their chat to challenge their manuevering where that was concerned - I was kicked from the chat, and within the hour I came here to make my first posts on the Mourning boards informing everyone what had happened. It all went downhill from there for Mourning. We are not random people that came out of no where with the intention of sinking this game. We were once fans, who became disillusioned after having witnessed mistake after mistake on their part. Do you think ANY of this would have happened if we were random 'bnet kiddies' with no grounded complaints against the Mourning team? It happened for a reason. If the Mourning team was not guilty of such poor social skills, we would have been kicked out on our asses and laughed at. Instead, people saw the truth in what we were saying and it culminated from there. |

If Mourning make it past Beta, I am sure it will be in the list, but to actually have a forum is a privilege at the solo discretion of the MMORPG.com staff.
Until they make it past beta, look like a dead horse to me. |

If not for waiting, would we ever notice that time passes? |
EDIT: it seems that this is really needed, as some can't understand that an official position is not made in the middle of a discussion in a thread. This is just a quick and personal note for our board members to read and know what was happening.
Also we already took note of MMORPG.dot official position as stated in their home page announcement. Our official position will be out in the following days, and you'll know it from our Announcement forum and also from our main site.
added to tiamats post claiming that they ASKED to be removed |

The .bnet kiddie-heathens are a species all of thier own, and anyone who is capable of dealing with teenagers on a regular, daily basis can handle the .bnet babies. It's simple, really. Explain to them what you percieve to be the error of thier ways, in a calm and rational manner, and then /ignore thier bombastic lil butts when they spaz out in thier vaunted fashion. You have said your piece, getting it off of your chest, and now you can turn your attention towards other matters. However, if you choose to NOT ignore them and continue to lower yourself down to -thier- standards, then you are not much better than the trolls you claim to abhor and you deserve the hassle of thier returning presence. Feeding trolls is NOT productive, and after a very, very short while, it loses any and all of it's purported entertainment-value. As for the Mourning forums, if you read what was posted there on a fairly regular basis, you learned quickly to recognize some of the posters, as well as thier rather 'colourful' posting styles. I registered over there back in 2002, and managed to hold my text-based silence until today, on thier poll. Never managed to make it into the game's beta-test, and have decided to not pre-order at this time, because I prefer to experience, first-hand and with my own eyes on my own computer system, a game before I shell out the hard-earned cash. I'll continue to follow-up on the whole Mourning situation, because I'm a work-at-home mom-type with a bit of free time in the mornings, and I'll eventually make my own decision as to whether or not to buy it....and that choice will be made without any influence from this site or Mourning's site.
...btw, this whole situation reminds me of a game from long-ago, named Lords of Empyria, which was being created by a fella named Fred Arbona....anyone else here remember THAT lil bit of Hades?? |

I feel the need to defend myself. I've been on the fence with LHE and Mourning forever. I still have my preorder in but I'm just reporting the news. It's up to the audience to translate it. I didn't encourage them to do anything, I simply told them the exact same thing MMORPG.com told them to do, which was post their comments in this thread. Your worship is noted.

Again FL is encouraging people that have never been invloved in mmorpg.com to come and post how crappy mmorpg.com is for doing this. Please ignore people with 1-5 posts, they are fanboys sent here to make it look like it was not a popular choice on mmorpg.com. However, if you look at people that have been here a month and over, it is a popular choice! Thanks mmorpg.com |

-from left field having seen brief snippets of comments posted by people affiliated with the game Mourning I was appalled by the attitude and expressions with which they communicated, and their utter and complete lack of professionalism. I know nothing about the company producing this game, and only know marginally more about the game itself, however any company that would allow itself to be represented in that manner in a 'for public consumption' area of viewing is not one I would ever, and will not at this point, support in any manner Consider for a moment if Kraft or PepsiCo or on a more related scale, Microsoft or EA games presented a face of that sort to the public.... I think they have a bit to learn about what hats they should be wearing when dealing with the public and execs should be mortified by the behaviours exhibited by any person under their umbrella regardless of their status of 'CS' or 'Dev' Good move MMORPG, your decision and behaviour on this matter was the correct one. To any who will lecture that opinions Mourning voiced contained fact, that is not the issue, for me at least. What matters is the way they handled things, in which they utterly failed, and I feel MMORPG did the best thing in disassociating with them

And as soon as you can point out WHERE I'm telling them to come and post how crappy MMORPG.com is I'll give you credit. Until then, your comments mean nothing. Like I said, I've been on both sides of the Mourning fence, I saw the news article and posted it. Then updated it when what was said in the thread and told them that the MMORPG.com staff wanted comments and linked them to this thread. What they post when the come here is solely their discretion. Again, your worship is noted.

SPRING BAN FEST = when Mourning banned a number of perfectly peaceful community members for such things as not reporting a bad post, saying 'WTF', etc... Apparently they covered their tracks and deleted the original post, can't seem to find it... so here's what I copied the day it happened (also, they deleted their "rules" so you're gonna have to fill in the blanks based on the reaction thread): Spring Ban Fest Reaction (immediately following tiamat's post): There's so much | |
