its absolutely ridiculous.

Rather than post in the "Hi" thread I picked this one cause it interested me the most. I totally agree that SOE saw this game as part of a package deal they had to put up with in order to get the titles they really wanted. With the rather shitty treatment the game and us the paying customer was given in the years SOE ownd the game it was no real wonder that they would end it just as badly. I'm not going to say it was all bad because a few of the devs tried to make the game a little interesting with the few resources they were left with (ie. Rarebit). But at the end it was just us getting crushed like our hopes that this game would continue on and the sobering message of "Wake up!" as the last thing SOE really wanted to say to us.

In the days that followed they didn't make it any easier when they posted in Candid (Tuesday?) about how they were selling or giving away some old mxo posters which basically brought on a wave of backlash from irate ex-mxo customers including yours truly. And of course instead of addressing the issue they did the typical SOE move, which was to sit back let the forums erupt in a civil war and quietly start whacking people with the ban stick (and for the life of me I cannot even find that thread anymore which wouldnt't surprise me if they just deleted the whole thing.

The point is that SOE has failed miserably in keeping their games active and worse keeping their customers happy. They would rather treat us like a bunch of kids who should be greatful that they let us pay to play.

This project with the emulator is a promising one and if it can be played in a mmo format on the horizon then it should be something to look forward to. Of course i share the same concerns and questions everyone else has concerning the legality of it all but I won't voice them as i am sure this has been discussed and debated to death already.

If there is one thing I am really happy to see is the community...the first online family I have ever known has found a place to meet and hope.

but I still want NEOPWRZ if the emulator goes online...
