It's too early to announce that they're on course. Getting rewards for being a founder and purchasing MC since is getting me some free stuff, but CW needs to be released in a non-glorified-leaderboard style before I'm willing to declare that they've regained my trust.

Hear hear. In fact, while the free mechs are nice and all, the only real action since the departure of IGP has been the announcement of another mech pack for megabucks. More of the same is hardly a "vindication" of anything positive.

Never recall seeing you at the Meetings of the Round Table anyhow.

Lucy was always a big proponent of the game and a very positive voice back when.

I am polishing my shield, and seeing if King Arthur has indeed returned from Avalon to restore Camelot.

If the next few months, the rumors prove true, I will indeed take up the cause again.

In fact, I intend to change the colors on my new CN-9AH to white or White and Maize in anticipation of this Crusade!

And we'll be ready to send you infidels back with your tail between your legs ... again.

Now... If PGI could only give us Black knights.

Have them painted in white and black, and Viola!

We can have a joustling tourney

[Escef]

While I don't count myself amongst the white knights, I generally end up fighting against the same negativity and jackassery they do, so I at least count them as allies (most of the time).

Though I still expect massive negativity from the same places as before, for now I raise a glass with the white knights. I will never be as positive as you guy are, but damned if this isn't a good day not just for you, but for the playerbase as a whole.

So, I have openly and covertly been accused of being a White Knight for PGI. I agree with this accusation and never lost the faith. Now that the dead carcass of IGP has been thrown aside, I and many other White Nights have been vindicated! So far it has been proven that it was IGP holding MWO back. The floodgates have been opened!

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!

Thank you PGI!

LOL!

Truth be told, you can never sway someone to your side or get them to listen to you if you are being a antagonistic unhelpful person

We'll see what happens in a few months. Bit early to start sounding the victory horns because they decided to give out some free stuff and do an event or two. Pretty common tactic in F2P games, particularly when things are falling behind or they have nothing new to release and want some quick cash - Even more so when said cash is inevitably being funneled to a game that's actually going to try to compete with star citizen's hype.

That said, I'm totally ready for my mad dog man-o-war pack.

Maybe he can loan it to Mudhut when he's done, the "antenna" might help him find out where everyone conspiring against him is hiding.

[SaltBeef]

Even If Transverse Fails to get the number of Backers PGI could do WINGCOMMANDER which is a far more Popular subject. WINGCOMMANDER WOULD GENERATE SUPPORT.

Thaaaaat's a little simplistic.

Ever since IGP left the stage, we've been seeing interesting developments...a sudden burst of low-level features, another step up in communication from the devs, a return to map production...and yes, a few things have been laid at IGP's feet. Most of that stuff had been long suspected by anyone who had been paying attention. But there's plenty of people who are still angry and a few things that are difficult to pin on anyone but PGI.

We'll probably find out more as time goes on. We could get another random, back-channel info dump in a few months (a la the Karl Berg Revelations) that goes into more detail. Part of me hopes not, just wants to move on.

Whatever the case is, I think there's room for real optimism for Community Warfare. Remember the old promises of 90 days back in Closed Beta and early 2013? None of the foundation for CW that exists now, existed then. Nor did any evidence of accelerated development. We're on different grounds than we were before, and that's why I'm optimistic. But I don't blame people for wanting to see it first before they open their wallets. That's their prerogative.

Of course, the people who have blatantly admitted that they're only here to try and "burn" PGI, I don't give two hoots about their prerogative. They need to just leave.

[Gamgee]

It seems I've been invited back into the fold.... grugingly. After all these years. Am I still going to be spied on for my "rebel" stance? Do I even want to see what's become of this game? Do I also have amnesty? Hmm?

I'll find out all of these answers soon. I must be polite and thank you. Thank you.

You sound like a desperate Televangelist (or a Wobby) preaching the imminent return of Jeebus (or Blake) after seeing a purple streak across the sky. Me? I'll wait for the Armageddon to know for sure.

You white knights have been wrong in so many occasions, and now with just one up tick you think you have been vindicated?

Know what everyone that's ever declared the end was nigh has in common? They were wrong. And just because the world isn't what you'd like it to be does not mean it can't be a nice place from time to time.

Sorry, it's been seven months of upticks now.

(And no, before you ask, I don't deny there have been a few glaring downticks.)
