Of course!

Now if only you knew what it's like to be on the side of European liberals!

Well I will get the California liberal perspective, so its a start.

Congrats Malorn! I was going to ask about the current resource system but I see it's been touched on. All I can ask of you is that you counter all of Matt Higby and T-Ray's NC and VS propaganda! Whisenhut's been fairly good at it thus far but we need more support!

Ill do my best to be a unifying force!

Thanks for the nice long answer posts. It's nice to see you are still around a day after the big news.

Grats Malorn! Awesome addition to the team!

Malorn if you could convince them to drop KDR altogether, PS2 would be a completely different game. More fighting and less camping for kills.

[Furber]

You'll be a great asset to the PS2 team. I trust that, with all of your knowledge and understanding of PS1, we'll see improvements in no time!

[cellinaire]

Yeah, I also don't like the current K/DR.

And grats Malorn ^_^b

European Liberals are the right wing. US Liberals are the left wing.

Grats Malorn !

It's great to know that there is a real longtime Planetside player on the "inside"...

One always hears that the devs do play Planetside, but I always tend to wonder how much of that is motivated because they are working on the game. I'd imagine being a pure player and dedicated fan gives a totally different point of view...

Congrats Malorn. They couldn't of picked a better person to join the PS team.

I have read all of your post and have agreed with a lot of what you have had to say. Maybe you can get them to take another look at base design now as I'm sure you know the indoor infantry fight is missing. Congrats again man and I hope we will still get to see you on the battlefield.

Just increase the cost of stuff the richer a person gets like how Tax works. Then as they lose money the cost of stuff will go down, so it doesn't impact people in any way, it just helps stop people from having too much currency.

Congrats on the position!

My question is a little more off topic:

Do you understand the hesitancy on adoption of Windows 8? There was a news bit that stated that there are 5 times less pre-orders than Win 7 had at the same time before launch. What are your comments regarding the OS? etc.

[JHendy]

Honestly, I just wish that you could have been a part of the PS2 team from the moment initial development was given the green light.

There is a mountain of stuff that needs to be gotten right. I get the feeling (I hope) that you'll be bold enough to make your voice the one that gets heard in the decision making process, because you seem to know precisely the direction the game needs to head in, in order for it to be deemed a worthy successor.

Congrats Malorn - hope you enjoy your new job!

Agreed with others - as a well known and respected name from PS1, your addition to the team can only be a blessing on PS2.

Having said this I think you'll have your work cut out with the lack of command structure/tools, metagame, infantry indoor combat, sactuaries, meaningfuk objectives, base design etc...

Good luck and always remember your community roots which I'm sure you will
