Didn't Australia start much the same way? Lol

By now I'm sure we all know that the POTENTIAL playerbase is the most important. Who cares about the people that dropped cash on an idea at the start, or for nostalgia-mechs, or clanmechs.

3PV proved it, I mean, look at how many people use it.

Sometimes when I play Titanfall I play as an Ogre Titan w/ a 40mm and wax nostalgic about piloting an Atlas dropping AC/20 into people's cockpits as I aim for their critical spots and soak up shots.

I don't have to worry about Ghost Heat tho anymore, so it's better.


Same, same, here. However, I still prefer MWOs diversity in chassis design/function/role/etc/etc...

Do you want one? You seem like a cool dude so I'm willing to shell out $10 so you can come play BattleTech with me. The wait list is a little long right now, but that's what happens when you successfully wage Community Warfare since January of 2011! I'm working through it! :D

Edit: Oh, and my MASC actually works!


I appreciate the offer! It sounds like a lot of fun- (imagine all those Fleas with broken legs!) but I'd hate to take advantage of your generosity when I'm not sure if I have time to play regularly. If anything changes, I will absolutely look you up though, it sounds like a blast. :D

You can't create a reddit for an official product.

Reddit is for the community for an open unbiased discussion.

Wow, all these founders,Phoenix, and clan pack badges. Indications that these people have been devoted supporters of mwo. To me that carries a lot of weight. To pgi however....


It does carry a lot of weight. Every single poster here knows it. I'm sure most of us would have happily blown massive amounts of money... more than we had already, IF the game we had been promised even partly materialized or was visible on the horizon. To most of us this is a universe we find captivating, absorbing and above all FUN.

It's not even the fact they tried and failed. They tried (but not really), realised they were going to fail to deliver and said "right, now lets rinse every last penny out of this loyal fanbase before they cotton on". Low, very low.

Really, this is all the Founders tag means now. It's now a badge of shame. A reminder of a time we trusted PGI.

Essentially.

This game had and in a way still does have such great promise. However I gave up expecting this company to deliver that a long while ago.

I'll probably play on occasion as I do now when friends play but I seriously have been expecting the game to die off, especially after the message of "just a few months off" is delivered over and over again in relation to when real "content" not just mechs will be released.

Can't say I've ever been an active forum poster and when you guys came out with your Uniform Code of Mechwarrior Justice I have to admit as a military member I was insulted and pretty much stopped visiting period.

As for the Reddit bit. Broke the TOS and you got slapped for it, I got no pity in me for you.

Maybe, just maybe, you wouldn't need iron fisted control over every public forum if you stopped lying to your playerbase.

We're going to have to annex some land to have enough room.

I wonder how much it costs to rent Eurasia?

Well Russ told us the game was in the best state ever!
He wouldn't lie to us, so we must be on an Island as he stated.

I heard there was a thread you are supposed to post in if your are a founder that is not satisfied with MWO. Is this it?

Come on, PGI. You had a real good game and just smeared crap all over it many, many times. The crap is starting to dry and smells terrible but you can still rinse it nice and clean and keep making loads of dosh.

Also my analogies are utter poo.

I know. Niko, just stay away from 3rd party sites. Let reddit be reddit and facebook run their own TOS. Stop stalking people out there to ban them in here. Just stay on MWO site and moderate it per your TOS.

On a side note, every time I post here it is doing wonder for my magic forum reputation points.
