Ladies and gentlemen, If I may. As requested by many...

Since this discussion is taking place in every forum, I am going to address the issue in the open to everyone and post it in each House Forum including the Mercs and FRR.

All former gaming venue House Leaders and Clan commands etc....From Genie,EGA,Solaris,MPBT3025,InnerSphereWars, Board games, MW2,3,4 Leagues,MechAssault and the list just goes on and on. Everyone wants to see something different with MWO.

I have known the MPBT Marik leadership for over a decade. I have know the MPBT Kuritan Leadership for over a decade. I have known the Steiner MPBT leadership for over a decade, I have known the MPBT Davion Leadership for over a decade. MPBT Clan Leadership, Mercs and lonewolfs.....

The same question from well over 15,000 MWO community members is....., will there be COC structure , Role Play, Strategic planing, etc etc....the fact is, we all do not know what the DEVS have planned for the mechanics of this game.

So patience and communication between MWO members from all facets of the Battletech/Mechwarrior Universe is going to be a must.

There are players in their 40's,50's,60's and maybe even 70's who have waited for this day to come for 2 decades, they are more into the structure of things.

There are youngsters who just want to pilot a mech, shoot things and blow stuff up.

These views and requirements are all part of what makes this BT/MW community unique from all others !!

What stands before the MWO community as a whole, is that at some point, everyone is going to want to belong to something "BIGGER" which is where the old school MPBT players and Battletech Lore players will come in handy. They will have had 6 plus months to plan and setup, strategize and organize.

Those who just want to send others to PPC hell.....let them have at it, without restriction.

I believe wholeheartedly, that PGI and the staff, from the top down have been prepped and instructed by Russ and Bryan that the expectations of this game, far surpass any other game released for 15 years.

I believe Russ and Bryan and the PGI Staff have immersed themselves in BT Lore, the ways of the MW2,3,4 Warrior pilot, and that they have spent time in those leagues, online with MPBT games, with the board game, I dont doubt they have miniatures on their shelfs as well.

They honestly know They have a big row to hoe, and it may not be all we want it to be from the git'go, but it will evolve into what we and PGI make it together.

So lets all celebrate.......the Day of Deliverance has arrived!!!

It will be here before you know it!

Soon it will be time to saddle up and the game is ON!!

I appreciate you all and with the utmost respect......bid you a good day !

Well, I'm looking at it this way.

We didn't need no stinking systems in Solaris. They couldn't even give us the ability to take and hold planets, so you and the house leaders, you found a way to set up rules to make it happen. I still remember logging into MPBT and being in the lobby, and having one by one steiner people join the room, and being asked to try for the 30LG. I remember dissection, the AC2 drill at max range, etc. I remember the great players -- and I look through these lists, and I'm seeing names that I remember.

I remember Fren arguing with me for over an hour, trying to get me to say yes to the one promotion, and then for over two hours on the next one, and I remember never actually saying yes, and just being listed at the higher rank on the next roster anyway.

The community from that game -- from this house -- is one that I have sorely missed, one that I've not seen in other MMO's.

I remember the wars you guys set up -- and even in 3025, they were not giving you any of the tools you really needed to do it right. I remember the hours you guys put in shifting us around from room to room, and communicating the rules to the most recent war. Whatever they give us -- it doesn't matter. You guys will find a way to make it work, you always have in the past.

Just give me a mech, and point me at a target -- that's all I need.

Done deal.

Revive old posts all you want, especially when you have a message as important as this. My fondest memories of MPBT revolve around the fact that we had no coded tools within the game, and that player organization was key. It was the players that decided to follow the rules, and play the game as a community, with no faction more or less important than the whole of the universe in which we played. Winning was less important than honorable combat.........I for one long for the days when if one pilot didn't make the drop, one from the other side would stand down in the name of fairness and honor. Those days are gone but not forgotten, and can be brought back if we, the players, choose to make it so.
