Been waiting over 18 days for support to help with an ongoing issue I've had, that makes the game unplayable (literally so).
So this week I've done something I hadn't done in the 4 or so years I've been here.
Installed other games. Deus Ex (never did get round to playing ti 16yrs ago), among several others I've had sitting on my hard drives for god knows how long. I might play MWO again, some day, but who knows?
It's sad in a way, because I had no inclination to play anything else since I started with MWO...
*EDIT* Agreed with Bishop - punctuation and paragraphs are good for society.

MechWarrior online is the best pvp multi player game out so there are not a lot of alternative games that will have any staying power keeping players from returning.
This game has no advertising yet as well, so expect it to be quiet for some time.
Also I bet a few got perma banned.
Oh and Mechwarrior Online needs to put the warrior in MechWarrior. Until then its missing a key element., and should just be called "Mech Online"

Yeah...not trying to come off rude (at least more than normal)... just IDK...came off as one of those walls of text that made my eyes glaze before I discerned the point. Which could be a very valid one.

Yeah, what is the better alternative, really?
Overwatch? World of Warcraft meets Unreal Tournament? No thanks.
World of Tanks? Invisible tanks that aren't rendered because the game decides you can't spot them? No thanks.
CounterStrike:GO? Supreme twitch skills and about as much realism as Street Fighter 2? No thanks.
It's not that I think MWO is a perfect game. That's not why I'm still playing. It's just that every other FPS / combat sim game I've tried is worse. War Thunder, Star Conflict, Armored Warfare, you name it. It goes from bad to worse.

World of Warships is fun, for quick action with IMO much deeper better realized combat mechanics.
But it does have zero immersion.

Yeah, lack of immersion is a problem for me. What about Battlefleet Gothic Armada? I always loved the tabletop game, which never reached mainstream popularity, unfortunately. Same as Epic 40k. But maybe the video game is good? WW2 warships in space?

More interesting than any game I know of.

Haven't tried it. I developed a serious hate for all things GW a couple decades back, and just have never been able to shake it.

Only believe what you see. Even that can be faked on TV/computer. Not saying your right or wrong, just that some have a problem with the truth.
The smartest thing I have ever heard anyone ever say was in Episode 1 of Star Wars. "Your focus determines your reality"

Agreed. Check source three or four ways and read foreign news sources. Once you do its easy to see the wall of lies erected for consumption. In reality I think you would need a 12 man team of researchers to keep up with all the events going on and have some truth in any of it. I just follow the trends more than anything else.

I miss when that YouTuber FrankieOnPCin1080p did DayZ videos. He made the game look really immersive.. but, also like it's you, the player, versus groups of 10+ people that kill anyone not in their group.
..and now all he does is crappy sponsored content videos. RIP

Instead, I've been playing a lot of Overwatch and XCom 2.

The leaderboards are generally much closer, though you can likely filter out ones that are under 10 matches- which still puts you around 35-40,000 or so active accounts.
