Hey Everyone,

Bryan and I are having a great time at E3 this year and it's been fun watching people play the closed beta from the show. I know there has been some concern on the forums about the lack of E3 coverage. I think we missed the mark in communicating with you the community on just what our E3 goals were. This was not ever going to be like a GDC for us where you guys would see tons of coverage. E3 is primarily a retailer show not a consumer show therefore we made the specific choice to not invest our marketing dollars into the show. Really our main goal at E3 was to come and support our partner Razer in announcing the Artemis and as part of that they asked to be able to have MWO on some pods in their booth. The Pods themselves could have been monitored better and it's unfortunate that there wasnt always someone on hand to help new players into the game. As to media visits our PR manager has set up several appointments for us which were very excited to take part in, PC Gamer yesterday is a good example. It is unfortunate if some other media outlets have come by expecting that Piranha would be here full time. If they talk with Stephanie Schopp our PR manager we would be more than happy to come meet with them and demonstrate the product.

In summary were getting everything we wanted out of the show, excitement is high with every single person we meet. You guys are a part of the best community in gaming and were working hard to get you all in the game as soon as possible.

Talk with you soon.

... if we cancel Christmas will you work harder?

[That Guy]

well it is always good to know what the planned objectives are instead of us just inventing them for our selves.

[Brotherchaplain]

Awesome news. Glad it went well.

How do I get a pod....

[Alistair Steiner]

Hopefully we can get pricing on Razer's product soon. It looks great, but that means it may be too high-dollar for a grad student currently plunging into debt.

[Kobold]

Just remember Russ, almost everyone posting here is already going to throw some non-zero amount of money at you, regardless. Just think of the noise as indicating excitement in your product.

[Faenwulf]

Thanks for the heads up guys!

But still hoping for some new game coverage.

[Supraluminal]

Cool beans, thanks for the clarification. Good luck out there.

[Striker1980]

Thanks for the update!

[Urulf]

Thanks for the heads up Russ!

U could still trow us a bone or two in form of some gameplay from the event, even some clusmy one could do

Hope you get the best out of the E3 in form of more support and funds!
So hoping to see a big MadCat Cabin for the next year event, showing how great the game is rolling on

Ah... ok. I was hoping to find coverage but none of the major gaming news sites featured anything on MW:O

[Razor 1]

Great to hear !

[Redshift2k5]

Well

We always knew you guys were not on the exhibitor's list for E3, so it's not a big shocker you didn't have a song & dance for E3. some peopel are disappointed in the Artemis controller reveal, but we'll get over it (battlemech 12 reveal today was a welcome sight).

Hopefully the press guys had fun playing MWO at the Razer booth!

[KingCobra]

I hope they port MWO over to XBOX for the fans of MechAssault it would not break my heart to play against some XBOX Live players and have a much more fun time and many more targets to kick AASSSS on. Besides why do you think there at E3?????????

Highly doubtfull, im afraid. Response time of a Xbox player with their controller is crap compared to a PC gamer with keyboard+ mouse, even on this "slower" FPS kind of game. We will be continously beating their (xbox players) crap outa them, and It wont be fun for them, i bet.
