PGI has seriously shot themselfs in the foot on this one. Do they understand how many players will leave the game the moment they insitute this? Let alone how many will not even bother to try the game? Makes me wonder what they are thinking some times.

Still thank you to Opus and all the other guys who started this wonderful system. I have had more fun dropping with the Lone Wolfs then any of the other factions.

I seriously believe PGI is doing what they can, with the timelines, and budget projections they need to meet. However, I am not sure they recognize the Lone Wolf player for what they are. Almost 50% of Gamers remain unaffiliated in any known gaming universe, 25% of those affiliated with a unit become disenfranchised within 3 months or faster. thats nearly 62% of your audience or Customer base.

Knowing this, and Knowing myself, I hate Guilds, Clans, factions, or otherwise Branded Units that form under the guise of "We're Cooler than You". They have done nothing to Earn the titles, or the Name they claim.

Having said that I am friends with many within Units on MWO: they are working to make it a better gaming experience, and I applaud them DHB for example is an excellent unit. And there are many more that I have not had the pleasure of grouping with that I am sure are trying their hardest to create a living lore unit.

But I would rather stay true to myself, and stay Lone Wolf, and run in packs where ever and When ever I want.

That kinda beats the purpose of this "band" of players, does it ?

EDIT:
I strongly disagree with PGI comments about Lone Wolves, especially roleplay-wise and dedication-wise.
I mean, I'm all in for the lore and role playing in this game and few thousands of my drops will back up dedication part, but I refuse to be a part of something that is constricted in various limits and boundaries, lore-wise and RP-wise not just in practical (in-game) way.

I pledge for no one except myself and my comrades in arms ! Down with houses, down with clans !!!!

Amen, and Amen

As a Clan-centric player, I was being facetious.....

I chose Lone Wolf because as a long time Clan Blood Spirit, I do not prefer the Idiom of any of the Invading Clans. I and my mates are going to outfit a trinary/binary in one of the Jade Falcon groups, however - just us Blood Spirits, no Jade Falcons, and we will not poach any of their players.

Well, I definitely brake the mold then, I played EQ (Everquest) for those of you too young to know what it is for 10+ years, paid subscription 14.95 a month or however much it was back then. I played in one role playing guild the entire time, through attrition became an Officer stayed an Officer for 5+ years and when EQ swapped to Free to Play I left EQ. Mostly I left because to continue in the guild we'd have to have our monthly subscription and still pay additional for our guild. I log into EQ every now and then and there's like 6 to 10 that still play, I just log on to chat and that's really it.

Anyways this game won't see the 10+ years subscriptions, not the way they're headed. They'll go the way of Dungeons and Dragons Online. A very pitiful existence for an MMO. I love this game, but the leadership within PGI doesn't understand gamers. They may understand the casual gamer, but I doubt it.

When are they gonna stop with PPC online? I actually like LRM online more, or perhaps we can go back to Gauss online, or Streak Online. So, tired of PPC online though boring as @#$@#$@#@#$@#$

LOL.....

funny thing is....

Awkward pause

I hated PPC's till now

LOL

[SolCrusher]

Oh, I honestly think WOW has the Free to play model right, let them sample the content and then say if you want more you need a subscription. I think you get more dedicated people that way, instead of a ton of drop by and "this sucks" so they punch.

I think their numbers of players is mostly the Punchin' kind, which is why they think their analysis of their player base is correct.

I liked PPCs when their heat was high, I used them all the time then so they weren't broke they were balanced, now they're broke.
