If people think that Smed will screw the Vanu because he imagined the trolls as Barnies, all I can say is...

LASHER SPAM '09! WAHOO!

Will there be an xbox 360 port?

Just jesting.

Loving the extra info, thanks again!
So long as the new game isn't drenched in 'next gen brown sludge' making it look horrible all will be forgiven.

I heard there will be a GameBoy port.

Wow Smed, what a legend. Seriously a CEO of a huge online gaming company, posting on PSU. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE LAD!

I love you

Q&A with a CEO. Anyone?

Only on PSU

Don't suppose you know what the minium requirements will be to run this game? Or just a general idea?

Planetside never had a large amount of support once it was launched. Cheating started on Day 1 as far as I know. I can remember a LOT of cheaters, although it never felt like a large amount of them at one time.

I love when people say "OMG Cheater!" It brings back fond memories of the days when I worked as a CSR in an MMO and had to deal with people telling me a guy was cheating or breaking the rules or griefing them and this was against the ToS, the EULA, the Magna Carta, and the Prime Directive. Nine times out of ten, they were wrong. They just sucked, or their internet sucked, or their computer sucked, or everything sucked.

My last day as a CSR a guy complained that some dude was hacking and cheating. I checked all my available resources and watched the guy for a while, then took the unprecedented step of getting back to the complaintant, who had continued appealing the guy (thereby padding my daily-resolution). I told him I had watched the guy for half an hour and had the player ever considered the fact that he got outskilled?

Guy comes back about a minute later with, "Well, I do suck at this game..."

The difference was with Planetside after they cheated they were anxious to post videos of it. I remember a cloaker making my life miserable with an AMP for a couple of nights so I Googled his name. The first thing that came up was a video showing his COF cheat which had no bullet spread even at max range.

Figgy [Hansime] sent me over here to read up on this and I'm glad I came.

Good to hear something from Smeds even if its brief. Hopefully the beta testing will come soon enough, I'm eager to chuck my 2 pence in.

I'm not saying you're wrong, also not saying you're right. Your post was actually a springboard. Just pointing out that oftentimes, people think they're being beat down by a cheater, and never stop to consider the possibility that there are a number of other options.

Some of my sweetest gaming memories have been the times when you log into a server (ie CS, BF) and get kicked for cheating after the first round after dominating the entire enemy team single handed, because I simply out played them.
