Us here at The Dark Carnival are saddened and disapointed in Funcom and their seeming callousness and tactless attitude towards sept 11.
TDC has always been a group of like minded people who banded together to try and make Rubi-ka a fun and interesting place to enjoy our precious and rare spare time.
some of us have jobs and children and other hobbys.. we come from all over the planet to enjoy our favorite MMORPG. from as far away as Austrailia and Germany and China we gather and have a "thing" called TDC....nobody minds if someone types terrible english.. instead we pull together and help each other to better understand each other.
TDC has decided almost to a man(or woman) to suspend all proposed Clan VS Omni battles in protest of funcoms choice of using the world of Rubi-Ka to paralell the pain and suffering and death of REAL and living human beings.....to me and TDC in general we still feel pain towards all who lost loved ones since sept 11th. not just firefighters and those people in the trade towers but the mothers and fathers and children of the people killed in battle on both sides of this conflict....
i for one do not wish to help perpetuate and promote evil... and i refuse to involve myself in a RP game where "war on terrorism" is spammed continuosly....those Clan"Terrorists" are thinking and feeling and loving and caring human beings... this is a game and i feel that the feelings that "war on terrorism" brings is much to harsh to wish on my fellow gamers regardless of side.

I agree 100% with Venge and if this is the feeling of TDC in general then I feel that this sort of attitude is prolly common among people, US citizens, as well as others who play AO. It is just way to close to what happened just recently and if I was funcom I wouldnt want to touch or put myself near this heated issue.
My suggestion change the plot line quickly before people start to get angry.
