I don’t know, I just said some crap about how SOE sucks (with SWG) and then some items disappeared from my inventory in SWG yesterday, and they gave me every item back by the time I got home from work. So, shit, they may not be “fixing” the game, but they’re still on the ball in certain areas.

I think that the real moral of the story is that nobody is ever truly happy in MMOland.

Grimwell says:
“This current conflagration is one guy pushing buttons because he didn’t like the results of non-participation. When we sit down with someone else who raids, and that person pointedly notes that not only do we talk, but we listen, it’ll all be cleared up.”

Hey Grimwell, who do I talk to to get l33t insider info like this? How does it work? Do I have to bribe someone with RL money (that evil RMT) or just get to know the right devs for the quick insider cheat informations. Or thats only for the l33t guilds that your devs play with? While we are at it, how about the the backdoor codes that the devs use to cheat on the live servers?

More EQ2 dev corruption

Kinda glib dismissal of someone exposing the snakepit of corruption you have in SOE. I have no doubt there is far worse in EQ through the years (hey remember the EQ1 Befallen banker?). Only no one had bothered to set up a whistleblower website back then…

This one time at Outback Steakhouse, I ordered my ribeye medium rare and they served it to me MEDIUM WELL.

What was your waiter’s name? He should be banned from the food service industry.

Typhoid Mary was given a second chance, and we all know how that worked out…

I’d have to say that the “Your ass is out” message probably could’ve been worded a little more diplomatically.

True that Freak. If you’ve known me for more than my current fifteen minutes of flame, I think that my record and behavior speaks for itself. This current conflagration is one guy pushing buttons because he didn’t like the results of non-participation. When we sit down with someone else who raids, and that person pointedly notes that not only do we talk, but we listen, it’ll all be cleared up.

Of course, by then y’all won’t be watching, so hold secure to your point of douchebaggery; it’ll warm yer tummy in 2010 when I manage to be a part of something like this again. =)

Grimwell was a flake and a douche for something he did well before eq2. It’s just now that he’s in the spotlight that his douchebaggery has been revealed to the most blinded. I’ll be enjoying the shadenfreude for a while.

Gordon was better than Alan Vancouvering as a community relations manager.

Brenlo is the biggest ass and player hater, ever. Alan Crosby not a player hater…? That’s laughable.

The recipe for Oak Bark Tannin was broken – as this was a required ingredient for the Mithril Leathers of Fier’dal line – nothing in that line could be crafted.

Yep. There were more than one instance of customers having to prove to SOE that something was broken.

In the case of alchemy if a shaman was buffed to level 25 they could learn alchemy but if you played your shaman to 25 you could not learn Alchemy beyond a single point.

Anywho, my point is that Gordon wasn’t a player hater or a complaining player hater… The guy wasn’t even a community manager when alchemy training was an issue.
