Not to be too overzealous here but Moab is right on both points. It has been a great ride, but the problem has never been the community's interest: it has been SOE constantly lining their pockets and not actually caring about fixing certain things.

I agree with what's been said; Enrico and Zatozia have been great listening to people, but the fact that SOE seems to have forgotten is that any online game will, regrettably, ALWAYS have bugs in them whether they want them to or not. Now I'm not saying that trying to fix those bugs are a bad thing, far from it... I'm just saying that there were other issues that should've been handled and, instead, have been blatently neglected by the online-gaming branch of Sony Entertainment, and that's disappointing.

I don't deny that playing PlanetSide has been the most successful MMOFPS, because for me it has. The only way it is going to get better, however, is when they stop living with the delusion that the Everquest universe is constantly the best thing since sliced bread. In deference to Everquest and to quote Jason Jones at Bungie:

"If you, somehow, believe that what you're doing is the greatest thing all the time, it's not going to be the greatest thing ever."

You know - you could have just closed the site and not put your Propaganda in the closed sigs.

Any respect I had for what you have done is long gone now, there is something to be said for going out with grace.

I guess the suggestions of the goatse.cx redirect for those that didn't heed the warning I posted woulda really ticked you off... Oh well... If a one day sig redirect before it goes to it's perminent home is worthy of you loosing all respect for me than obviously you didn't have much to start with. So be it.

Well in defense of those who didn't "heed the warning" I'm sure they were either expecting dead images or didn't read your site at all. Not everyone keeps up on current events.

Changing the image to something like that insults the trust people had for your site by using your sig(s) - you could have just let them go dead.

But I guess it really doesen't matter now since you are leaving the community anyway.

It was a good service, thank you for spending the time on it.

WildEagle · 2006-03-08, 03:16 PM

why is are yall leaving? is it cuz of SOE letting PS die cuz they think Everques is so great?

Hamma · 2006-03-08, 03:59 PM

I think www.planetsidestats.info explains it pretty good

Unfortunately, I do not believe that site exists any longer... I ain't checking!

Regardless, I believe you should have redirected to meatspin.com and I would have gladly filled the vast void of respect that Hamma created.
