It'd be nice to see some red/white/blue colors go on discount in remembrance of 9/11. I'd totally rock some USA colors!

"Remember the Maine, to Hell with Spain!" This is the proper reference situational wise.

I don't mean to be insensitive or anything, but PGI and MWO are all Canadian. Sorry... I just don't see why they would do that.

Still we should never forget 9/11; it marked a bleak day in modern history from which many Hero's were born. I watched the thing about FDNY 10 the other night.

[Green Mamba]

Pgi is Canadian so I am pretty sure they don't give a Fug about the USA except for our money

Sorry why do yanks think they deserve special treatment between this and 4th of july sale demands its just selfish.

Your not the only nation that has suffered attacks by terrorists you know, your also not the only nation that has players.

You dont see me demanding a union jack decal to celebrate VE day do you? because that would be insensitive to other nationalities.

You've milked 9/11 quite enough its been 12 years move on alright, merica is already unpopular enough with every other country without players in a small online game showing their sense of entitlement.

No thanks. I don't like the commercialization of the tragedy.

[General Taskeen]

A bleak day where the previous lives of the dead were used as an excuse by the corrupted to launch wars on false pretenses and the destruction of national liberties and racism swelling through the land. Makes me sick to my stomach every time I think about it, especially when heroes like Bradley Manning in our country are sent to Jail and our leaders get no time whatsoever.

As a U.S. citizen I wave my flag upside down on these days - which stands for a nation that is in distress. I say this with native american in my blood.

The event itself is a time of reflection, to really see what has become of it.

Hey, I'd completely support a sale on boxing day, the queen mother's birthday, or whatever made up holidays you commonwealthers enjoy. Any excuse for a discount.

this is a ******* horrible idea. 9-11 is not some commerical holiday. take your flag pins and 9-11 sales and shove them up your *** douche.

[Phoenix Branson]

We should not talk about 9/11 which killed 2,753 people, brought down iconic buildings, and launched more than a decade of war as though it was a commercial. If you want to do something, take a moment and pray for the families of the departed.

[Sam Slade]

Can we get this trivial post removed.

That or some kind of glitzy nonsense for every tragic event in recent memory.

[Psychokreep]

Sorry, did I miss something...? World Trade Centers....yes, Canadians, Americans, Russians, etc., multiple nationalities were affected.
As for PGI being Canadian, so what, there is a USA player base as well, not just our northern neighbors. Don't play favoritism, just be neutral like they, PGI, has been and all will be good

[Batch1972]

Remember Kentares

[Kaeb Odellas]

Let's not commercialize tragedies and acts of terrorism, okay?

[Mitheledh]

Even though 9/11 is past and I don't agree with the commercialization of it, I just wanted to point something out. Of the 2,978 people that died in that tragedy, 373 of them were from other countries. Including 24 Canadians. So while the attack was on US soil, more than just Americans died.

[Egomane]

We are this >< close to discussing politics here. Somethin we shouldn't do on the MWO boards.

99% of what the world sees of the US comes from NY, Cali, and DC. Trust me, we don't all live and believe the same as they represent. Faction tags on outside mech would be cool, maybe country flag tags if some choose it over faction. AND why does my ENTER key work everywhere but in these forums!? lmao

Please do not lump all of us together with the few you watch on television. It's offensive.

Also, no. We already have holidays that are readily available for this kind of thing (memorial day, for example). We do not need to remember 9/11 via corporate sales tactics.
