    Yep, one of benefits of chasing 90% of players away - the merry band of cheerleaders will stick around, playing their last song on a sinking ship.
    SO what you are saying is you dont care until it effects you, even though it will effect everyone, thats some serious I dont care what happends as long as I'm ok..

    Seriously Means was great yes He may of promised alot and deliverad a little but he was always in constant communication on the forums with FWM now we get 1 monthly and its not even always on time.. And they bang on about the new engine being so great, If its sooo great they would'nt have taken 8 years + to actually develop it.. Yes I release they changed engine half way through.

    And to be quite honest the graphics of The Secert World are not spectacular by any means...

    But to just go ahead and say blame means, when he always had ao in his heart and I bet he still does too.

    Well, we have a different opinion about Means and his tenure as a GD of Anarchy Online. He's not even close to a perfect GD, but I do believe he was the best one we had so far. Besides, Means didn't make players leave AO; it was Funcom with their ******* **** *** idea of "Item Store" as a valuable revenue-maker. I'd really like to know how much they earned from it - in comparison to the number of players that cancelled because of it.

    Still - not Means' fault, as far as we know.

    In the end, this **** is as smelly as day-to-day politics and politicians. Right now I'm not so sure - am I a fanboi or a hater?

    Nope, i dont care until they can finish their work on patch, so i can see what has actually been done.

    But if you prefer to pointlessly rage about some things that havent even been completed yet, go ahead, i'm sure it will have serious impact.

    What wonderful gem of incoherence. If he delivered little that he hasnt been great, has he?

    He was in constant communication...telling lies and halftruths. Fantastic, lets give the guy a medal.

    He can have AO tatooed on his chest for all i care. I don't question his intentions. I question his results. And results are as follows: from game populated by thousands of players into ghostown.

    End of message.

    Means did a lot of good for the game, his biggest fault was sharing his ideas and enthusiasm with a pedantic community.
    Shhh... I'm in disguise.

    In all fairness, Means' biggest fault was that he was too optimistic. All the time. But I guess it's the thing that kept the community together. Right now, I feel like I'm repeating what you just said, Siyra.

    I don't idolize anyone, but I think Means did a fairly good job as a GD and had excellent communication skills. I really do hope Lindelu will be at least as good as him.
    I never intended to say that Means did a bad job, but to me it looks like he really wanted to keep AO alive with some content and avoided changes on the system. Aka he worked arround the bugs and problems in the system instead of fixing them because fixing them would be a terrible hard thing to do and it still needs to be proven IF all the problems can be fixed at all.

    I did not like that way because i want AO to stay alive as long as possible, maybe 20 years and thats not looking like the right way to do so to me. If you page through the first 2 sites on every FWM you hear critic, bashed by the brown-nosers that see the only purpose of a community in yelling "first", "second" and "fifty-eight".

    Oh... i do not need the engine update, the rebalance and i can live with a week (paid) downtime if they collect their forces and fix the most obvious problems, bugs and balance problems.

    I do not think i made myself clear. I do not want to fault anyone. Means, Znore and now lindelu did and do what they could and thought was the best for the game. Kudos for that. But now it would be a great time to look back and see what was left behind and what could have been made better.

    I really do think that an updated DB and a boosted Tradeskilling system, which would be much easier to implement with an easier to access DB would bring back more old players that re-subscribe for a significant longer time than the average CoD3 player that gets lured in by the new optics and quits a week later because of all the old silly bugs, problems and annoyances.

    I did that. To me it doesn't look any different. Now, let's talk 10 years ago, that was different.

    Now do what i did. Log your MP and ninja buff with composites. 20% do not have enough ncu, which is a sign that they are noobs that started 5 days ago, 60% have no expansion. The remaining 20% are here in this thread ranting (including me) and paying for power bill.
