New community manager is managing the community. Thumbs up.

[Cion]

Thanks Tina and others for doing this. We are lucky to have such a dedicated and talented community.

[DarthPeanut]

Excited to see this type of posting about community events starting.

[DigiEXE]

This is pretty awesome to hear! Usually things like this doesn't get around much so it's nice that PGI is now planning to highlight these events and such. Can really help grow the player base and maintain it with these events!
Time to finally catch up with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, League of Legends and Smite

Please don't link to MWOLN as the primary source of league standings until they start posting standings for other divisions as well. There were a lot of teams in MRBC Season 4 that I think deserve recognition in addition to Div A and B.

3 Teams were highlighted when 9 teams actually took first place in their respective divisions.

Never had so many unbalanced matches till alpha and you guys are going to push MWO to stam and spotlight?!
better do your homework first...

[Iqfish]

Tina, on behalf of the whole TMC team, thank you so much!

This is the best motivation any kind of content creator for this game could get and I guess I speak for everyone here if I say that I look forward to much more Fan Art, Videos, Fiction, etc.

Spotlighting the Community is an aspect this game had been missing for a long time, considering that BT-Fans are one of the most cohesive one in the Sci-Fi world.

You rock, Tina!

[o0Marduk0o]

You have imbalanced matches in every pvp game with random groups. To have close games, pick your enemy and play lobby matches.

[Desintegrator]

Thanks for the information !

[Homeless Bill]

You rock, Tina. Thanks for the support!

[DaniBot]

(I just logged in for this)


Awesome! Great idea who ever boiled that out.

It seems MwO is getting...... interactive now and not just focuses on monotone mech clubbing


EDIT: In what what faction am i landed now again XD

Hahahaha that Dodgeball Game looks like that would have been great fun.

We had a few silly Private matches like that recently, ALL No armour Locusts with only 1 PPC, or ALL Atlases with 1 Small laser.

-----------------------
Keep it coming Tina. Good work.

[Heffay]

I should propose a ***** Shoot contest. The shooter will be a dual gauss King Crab. He will face 10 unarmored spiders who attempt to jump from one hill to the next. For each legging or arm removed, the shooter gets a point. For a kill, they get 2 points.

[Karpundir]

It's about time that Community Run events and leagues got official recognition on MWOmercs.com!

PGI has a free P.R. opportunity with Major League MechWarrior. This should be pushed to media outlets to show how strongly the competitive community has rallied around the concept of cash prize tournaments.

Just look at this reddit thread to see the support given by the community.

I want to apologize for not including the other divisions during the last couple weeks of the MRBC Season when MWOLN started. My time was occupied with being the leader of a competitive team, helping Homeless Bill manage Major League MechWarrior, and writing an entire "New Player League Guide" as well as the "Team and Player Finder".

My plate was rather full, and I have now updated the league standings page to include all divisions. Since MWOLN's creation, I've figured out a lot of easy ways to implement the data, which is why you can see more than just the top 10 in a division now and the formatting for the text looks so much nicer.

Again, I hope you look to MWOLN.com for your source of competitive information. My resources have been stretched thin and team leaders are helping me update the website by giving me information regarding their own teams activities. As a MarineMechs rep, would you be willing to do the same? I'd love to include you guys on the website.
