MW:LL has stopped development, and whether you fine folks at PGI were directly involved or not, you are the cause. I loved MW:LL, it had all the awesome parts of a MechWarrior game. It wasn't a pay2win grindfest, it was a labour of love. So, yeah. Thanks for that. >

Sincerely,

Dead Legends. Time to mvoe on. Like the rest of the MWLL community did a lonnnng time ago.

[LazDude2012]

I'm not saying that PGI legally threatened them, or anything, but whether indirectly or directly, MechWarrior Online is at fault. MW:LL had a license, but money trumps no money.

Crybaby, its not a grindfest at all for me, every game I play I'm having fun. If you aren't just quit playing.

False. Over the last week I've played several MW:LL matches that lasted well over 3 hours on full servers of 26 total players. I've had more fun playing in those epic matches than boring-fest Call of Duty Solaris Warrior Online 15 minute matches on hilariously small, unrealistic maps.

it's precisely because the up to 100 people who play LL kept coming on the forums here and saying how great LL was, that and having links to it in their sig that LL even got picked up on PGI's radar in the first place

also, the creators of LL, who didn't have industry jobs at the time, now have jobs at Crytek, which is exactly why people start doing mods in the first place, to get something on the resume to get in to a job in the industry... LL served it's purpose for those that were at the core of creating it

MWLL has a dedicated following that is hardly dead.

Living Legends predates MechWarrior Online by two years. Do you honestly think Piranha chose CryEngine 3 for no particular reason instead of developing on UE3 or another engine? It's because MWLL ran on CryEngine 2.

I'm just going to go ahead and say that the PGI truth is not the entire truth. He is omitting certain key words which puts everything into context. Words like "strong-arming" and "coercion"

Words which have nothing to do with what happened. If you're sufficiently hell bent on a conspiracy that you won't listen to PGI, then how yet another of MW:LL's own devs?

PGI never pulled the plug^tm. Wandering Samurai Studios has spontaneously disbanded, losing the IP in proccess, hours after 0.7.0 release by people who owned the company. Of course, honest and pure wish of the some people to reach mutual agreement in the interest of not wanting to split the community and double up (our) efforts had absolutely positively no influence or whatsoever on ending officially ending the development. In fact, It was low player numbers and realization that the MWLL team should merge communities under roof of a better marketed game that made the MWLL team drop hundreds of workhours invested in some assets and features.

I myself heard rumors how devolopers of another product are non responsive and ignore community... I find that false as the Mechwarrior community got a quick reaction and reply from the head of a company that notified you all, how they are not involved before WSS hit the ground dead, is the testament to their swiftness, agility and dedication to their community and product.

Yessssssssssss

SQUAWK!

[Two Beans]

I heard that some furry guy sued MW:LL over the IP.

[Roland]

Dude, only like 100 people played MWLL... Total. That's why it ended.

You can't support a game on a player base of a hundred freaking players.

I heard he was a brony. So how do brony battletech fans reconcile that one of their own killed MWLL?

[Rannos]

Bronies. Furries. Same difference right?
