General Discussion

I just canceled my Mourning preorder (attempted...hopefully)... I lurked the Mourning forums for a long time and I just can't see any good in all this crap that has been going down in the last 6 months..... my thoughts on Mmorpg.com decision is mixed. I think they should leave Mourning on the game list.. removing their forum isn't a big deal.. lots of the games on the list do not have a forum.

It's not my game. I could care less whether it succeeds or fails. What I do care about is all this bias and all these comments without any substance.

Real mature, FL. Go away, you know that your game is doomed having lost the site it gets its traffic from.

Speech like that would get you banned on the Mourning forums.. and me banned for not reporting it to the mods...

WTFS?

So mourning should just cross-reference between here and there and ban you for bad conduct (me too if I was registered or remembered my login info).

I admitted in my earlier post here I had let myself get emotional, by trolling the mourning forums for something you can use to try and discredit me, after I already admitted to it, just further shows how empty and pathetic your argument has become.
I just hope most people who come here are mature enough to see this for what it really is.
That MMORPG gives support to the imposters, liars, hatemongers, and out right attacks staged from here against Mourning just proves they are involved, in the organized slander of this game.
It makes me wonder how many of these posers, hate-mongers, and liars are actually enforcer intimadators on the MMORPG payroll.
You do know things like this go on in the real world too, people offer protection for a price, and when someone is unwilling to pay the price they release thier enforcers to tear apart the person or company that refuses to pay.
If you people are gullible enough to believe MMORPG is about unbiased game press, your sadly mistaken, this is a business and these guys are all about the $ they can extorate from these developers for good press.
When a small developer refuses to play the game, and pay the price, they get knocked around by noobs who are mysteriously all attached to the MMORPG site.
All these lies, slander, and hate is someone's personal agenda, and by allowing it free reign on the MMORPG forums they are condoning it, if not the very party responsible in the first place.

Draxshared, I see you managed to tear yourself away from whatever you position at LH/Mourning is to come and post some poison, good for you I expect you could use a break. As for your "revalations" about MMORPG.com being "in it for the money". Well spank my monkey if you hadnt have pointed that out I dont think any of us would have realised. In fact Im surprised you failed to point out that Mourning is a charity organisation with no interest in making a profit from the game at all. Its obvious from all the free MMO's listed on MMORPG.com that they are just tools of SOE and Blizzard and IGE isnt it ?

Lol! I wish!.. I'm afraid I'd be about as lucerative to the MMO buisniss as a hedgehog. Perhaps I could make it as a maskot? :p But say, are you into politics Razorback? Using many words to say nothing is common for their kind..

Counter-trolling aside, this thred isn't about Mourning. It's about MMORPG.com's decision to remove Mourning from their site. Admin asked for feedback, and I gave it. My reasons are to the point and valid indeed. You calling it BS doesen't make it so, and you failing to point out why it's BS only indicates that my post is indeed sound reasoning. This case is about MMORPG.com and me and you as their readers. Mourning doesen't come into it at all for what I'm concerned. I'm simply pointing out why removing any game from their site is bad for their reputation and credability. Would you care to point out what relevance Mournings economy have in this matter? I did point out what relevance MMORPG.com's and perhaps Admins personal economy have in this matter. I also pointed out why MMORPGs in general are present on MMORPG.com's site in this scenario. They would not have any media power otherwise, and as such be worthless to the big boys.
I also pointed out that I don't particulary subscribe to this point of view, but then again tat doesen't make it any less probable. And it IS probable indeed. That probability is the reason why we have what is called press ethics, and why MMORPG.com should incorporate press ethics into their company policy.

If you read this Admin, please read my original post.

Oh and I find it extremely interesting that I have been a member on these forums a year and made dozens of posts yet my # of posts never increases.  Even in my posts to this thread my # hasnt increased.

Trying to discredit me by making it look like Im a noob here who never posts?

Ok, I still disagree with removing Mourning from the listing as per my previous post. However, given some of the way they treated their fans and some of the flat out lies on their website (which I went to thanks to this action of removing it). I have to say I would never play this game. I still think it should be in the game list though.

On that note since I can not get my full listing from here I was wondering if anyone knew of another site like this that I could use as a cross reference tool. Thus I could check the one against the other and do things the hard way of going against multiple lists.

It's hard not to believe some of Mourning's concerns about the negative fanbase here after reading this thread.

mmorpg.com has 181k total users(not all active) worldwide. So its audience is hardly the end all be all of the mmorpg industry. Rather a small, tiny fraction of it as tens of millions of people play mmo's across the world. Losing mmorpg.com won't do much to Mourning. However I think the precedent of mmorpg.com not covering all mmorpg games(just the ones they like), is the more damaging one. I myself visit the site often so I can get a comprehensive list of all the mmorpgs in development.
