Typo.
Everything I'm about to say, you probably already knew.
Yes, I do realize that they aren't going to drop the gas.
Yes I've dealt with clan leaders (Utildai of Opposing Force) in an attempt to help things along.
Yes, I do realize that the servers eat @$$ and can't handle the load of players that they promise, which I admit is both bogus and sad, given my own cpu hosts lan parties of games like "Battlefield 1942" with 64 players at once.
Yes I realize everything sucks, from a players standpoint and I'll level with you.
You've quoted me as saying things in the past, and one quote I believe i can do myself is "They want us to WATCH a story, not partake in it."
Let's face it.
They've already proven, the only way a regular person can get in the story, is if they crash a meeting with green names, jump up on the table, drop trow and /ymca (Cayll, Methlon, and Rukus).
To be fair, yes Cz says he's in the process of working in story orgs, but to be fair to players, we've been hearing that for quite some time, and guys like myself are losing members daily because of FCs broken promises.
I think the major problem that yes I am aware of, is that FC doesn't take things seriously.
They don't seam to understand... that when swg hits.. they're going to lose about 66% of their player accounts, JUST because there's an alternative. the only ones who're going to stay are the total newbs, the clinging pathetic losers (myself) and the GMs to be the sheriffs in the ghost towns.
I picture the Dev team passing around the company memo about "Projected loss of 66% player accounts in the next 3 months!" and watching their eyes roll as they laugh in norwegian.
We'll see.
Why do we do things like sack clan towns, kill the "innocent" and make waves? It's about the only way of making the few virgin players here believe they're worth something, is to know they can make some small, if pointless, impact on something.
Will they disband the CoT, the CoA or whatever?
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter because those things are just masturbation. Let's face it, who have they affected? Nobody. They sit around and talk because they know that's all they can do. "Urge" and "Push" and "talk". all day and night.
"We should...", "We MUST!" "For freedom, for glory, for our neighbors cat!" None of it matters and people are beginning to say screw you to the ideas.
EVEN IF the CoA rose to some facsimile of power and decided to attack Omni, the worst part is they know they can't.
Just like I can't set a bomb at the CoT Headquarters in Tir. Just like I can't lay one finger on anybody for any reason in anything more than a mayhem zone.
It's rediculous and exhausting.
But one thing I've found...
Is that FC doesn't like it when they have to break up fights...
So what do I do? I cause fights.
I push and shove anywhere and everywhere I can.
We do all the di****able things that evil corporations do. We gank in the clan arena and we killsteal the Hardened Bully spawn at Majestic Bridge.
Everything we can do to hurt the clans. And it royally pisses them off when they have to log on their GMs to discipline us.
That's the last great act of defiance I guess, and about all you can do.
Harass. I proudly got my second warning on my account this week from FC about language and harassment or something or other. In Omni society you're constantly bombarded with "Kill a clanner today...", but if you tell them to get their ass out of Rompa NOW, and harass them till they leave willingly, you're sanctioned for harassment.
My response.
Let me blow their heads off you morons...
That's why I'm a loud voice now for Omni... I'm practically the ONLY voice.
The company doesn't speak, it doesn't work, and it's appointed heads of department sit around smoking pot and playing chess all day like Ross.
So now we know the truth.
We could own every clan town 24 hours a day for a week and they still wouldn't give a rats ass, beause nothing that players do... will affect THEIR story.
But we aren't going to let them cover it up easily.
I remember...
A "Jail break" that was supposed to occur over Omni prisoners a little while back...
All the good orgs were there. Omni-Pol, Omni-AF, Red Tape, we were all there to keep the prisoners from escaping.
With a force big enough to crash the servers we waited by teh prisoners in their cells.
Then my heart broke.
They walked out of their cells, walked out the front door, and teleported.
There was absolutely nothing we could do. We couldn't even handcuff the bastards. I listened to over a half dozen leaders proclaim their disgust and swear their resignation that day.
*rubs his temples*
It's getting late and I've long since lost the point i started off with so i'm out for now. If you want to chat w/ me ingame you know how. I'll be haunting around as usual, polishing my armor or something. Awaiting the call. *sighs*
