From the outside the Sony Online Entertainment booth wasn’t all that impressive (unless of course you wanted some photos with the booth babes). That being said, we all know that it’s what’s on the inside that counts. The booth wasn’t all about a big show, but rather about treating the attendee right. Comfortable seating, food, and beverages (including alcoholic drinks during the cocktail hour) were some of the delights we experienced, but the true satisfaction came from the lineup of products and the hospitality of the Sony Online Entertainment staff.

Heh, SOE, those rotten, stinking bastards!

As soon as SOE's name was brought up.. SOH dropped off of the top 10 list... and the release date was removed from MMORPG.com.

why do you all think that is?

Yay, thats because Vanguard rocks

Cheers to Sigil

Because there are a bunch of irrational SOE haters that frequent this board. Not that it matters since players who frequent this board make up just a fraction of a percent of MMORPG players. The game isn't going to fail because of a bunch of geeky SOE haters.

There is nothing wrong with hating SOE.  I have nothing but respect for SOE haters.  There is no reason to start calling them names.  They have just as much a right to post here and express their opinion as you do or does fanboys like myself.  It may become irritatiing and annoying seeing 100's of threads that are basically the same but it does show us the passion, anger and hatred many people have towards SOE. Just like fanboys they make a lot of senseless  and repetitive posts.  But like many fanboys they also make some very good , informative and well reasoned posts.  IMO what seperates good and bad posters is not their support of the game or their dislike of SOE but their ability to put their emotions to one side and make well reasoned and objective posts.

We can talk about how evil SOE is all we want but it really doesn't mater.  The bottom line is if Sigil makes a good game people will play it and SOE's being involved will have little to no effect on sales.   If they make a poor, average or mediocre game many people will not give them any leeway thanks to their association with SOE.  Or in other words if the game is good SOE's involvment will have no effect if its not good many people will use it as an excuse not to play the game and Sigil will suffer.  Just one more reason for Sigil to take their time and make the best game they can.
