Didn't quite know where to put this thread so decided to put it here. I've been AWOL from AO for the last couple of days as the Stormhammer server for Verant's Legends service of EQ went live on Monday night.
For those of you who despair of all the negativity in these message boards, let me tell you something. There was just as much b!tching, whining, slandering and insulting going on in the chat server of EQ regarding Stormhammer as anything that you could read here.
According to some people in chat the people at Verant were
1) stupid
2) crooks
3) greedy
4) incompetent
5) <insert your own insult>
Sound familiar? So take heart people of Rubi-Ka! There is just as much negativity going on in other MMORPGs even at the acknowledged most successful (at present) MMORPG of them all.
