Wow, I can't believe how easy that was.

Well, thanks guys. It wouldn't have really affected me too much, but if it means more players on the server I play on, it's a good thing. I'm happy.

My ping to Honolulu!

I think system requirements would be nice to know and we still have not seen any of the max units or HA weapons .

Ever since Star Wars Galaxies flopped after the nge takeover and the mass exodus of players from that game along with the massive amount of hate mail they recieved because of it, I think maybe SOE now has a policy of listening to the players a little more than they used to :P

But as you can see easier doesn't mean better, so I wonder what the solution is after all this commotion.

Is it SOE who's going to assume direct control over the servers now or they still plan on leaving prosieben (and the9, I take it) to maintain the hardware under their strict oversight from Sony?

Pro7 was never going to control hardware, they were only ever going to control accounts, support, shop and marketing.

Doesn't that look illogical, then?

So this is not a prime example of anything that has to do with the future of PlanetSide 2.

READ what I wrote... I didnt say they werent reading our posts/concerns. I know that RadarX was reading them, or at least he stated that he was in the orginal thread. What I WROTE was that nothing would have happened if it wasnt for EQ/DCUO, because bottomline SOE could give 2 shits about PS2 beyond what they will bring to the bank on a monthly basis. As an ADMIN for these forums shouldnt you have a better reading comprehension that?

ShockNC is more on base w/his posts then you fanbois are until proven otherwise. SOEs track record speaks more volumes then hopes/dreams that SOE will do the right thing by us. The simple fact that EQ/DCUO were the voices listened to is a clear example of that.

Once SOE gets its initial investment back on PS2 thats when all the crap will start to hit the fan from SOE execs. Thats when the dev team, which I happen to like atm because of their open door policy for the most part and clear connection to the playerbase will start to get ground down by the real money behind this project.

I do not. Negative thinking is not enough reason for a ban. Giving him a strict warning is another thing.

Guess it wouldn't be a fansite forum without a few token SOE haters around calling people "fanbois" when they are on a PlanetSide Fan Site.

It was always the plan that SOE would run the servers and maintain the hardware, and Pro7 would do everything but that.

Then what was the point of making a different company responsible for... ahem, how should I call it... freeware distribution? Yet putting on a regional block. I don't see a point in such decision at all....
