Man, this is adorable. And here I thought Sil was bad.
Its a videogame.
If nothing happened on it ever again, we would be fine.
If it shut down tomorrow, we would be fine. (probably better off)
Relax, and wait for them to finish the engine, don't get all choked up about something so trivial.

I've typed and deleted for quite a while. But...
Considering how little you've graced our forums, it's enlightening to see what we can expect when you do. My comprehension of how low of a priority AO is to you/Funcom seems to have just been greatly enhanced.
Thank you for the lesson.
Hey, if Nusquam just lets the AO devs do their jobs, we'll get the NPE, engine, and Steam, probably within a year to 16 months (at least, that's my best guess). He has more to say about AoC and SW because he knows those games better and is more involved in their continued progression. That's a good thing.
Is this the tone we can expect for future exchanges? People who (amazingly at this point) want to pay for this game deserve a modicum of respect and civility from their supposed Dear Leader.
You should apologize to Raggy and the entire dwindling player base for your disrespectful tone.
To be fair, the monthly updates USE to be translated. As to when it stopped, is anyone's guess. However, there are german patch notes as you stated Raggy which do get translated, but in this case Joel was referring to monthly updates only. Granted, it seems only natural that AoC and TSW get updates first because they have more population and a variety of non English speaking folk.
You are still a newb and always will be a newb (also, your child is a newb). You just chomped on some huge troll bait and got reeled in by a troll who then placed you on his troll fire where he served you to other trolls, troll style. Stop feeding them. There are a lot of idiots and grumbly grumblesons on this forum (we have good reasons too, some are blown out of proportion) and Raggy is one of them. Even though I doubt you will read this or the ensuing fire storm of posts that involve your post, I personally dont mind what you said to him because he deserved it. He sounded like a jerk so you responded in the same fashion. However, you probably shouldn't say stuff like that because it could land you in trouble because there are carebears that lurk these forums and when you provided a crude retort they drop their wittle cupcakes and lose their carebear stare powers. Also, its best to just ignore them anyways because its like arguing with an idiot who cant read very well or comprehend the basic facts of life.

Im not all that surprised. I still love AO but as far as funcom goes this company clearly does not know what theyre doing in any department what-so-ever. Customer service is down right laughable to the point of just no words. And ive had plenty of attitude from them. And the officials that post on these forums often get an attitude with the player base. Surprises me they talk like that but i guess thats what you get when you probably have no proper command saying what is and isnt acceptable.
I know how good and bad customer service can be. Even when its bad i still never get straight up attitude/innuendo like i do from FC. They are by far the worst (statement of mine and im sure manys opinnion, not starting flame here just being truthful).
Its not just gaming either. I signed up and paid for another game in the making (star citizen) awhile ago. And not just the respect they gave me but the level of effort they went through to help me when they have almost 200k other people so far signed up and god knows how many sending their 2 or 3 CS reps (who also handle other stuff) emails shows what true guiding can make.
Woow... Just Wooooowww. You stepped in a landmine. The ammount of "I dont care" in your ansewr is too damn high. Great job feeding trolls and getting some hate from whole AO comunity.
On a side note: AO updates were translated but surdenly stopped for "aparentely" no reason.

The reason AO translations stopped, it seems, was because TSW was a commercial flop. Waldgeist left us in Aug 2012.
Whoever has since been assigned to translate for TSW and AoC hasn't been likewise instructed to translate for AO.
Frankly, things would've been fine if Joel's pride hadn't forced him to try to defend...something.

Seriously? the Bejing team of Chinese artists were lead by an AO Graphic Artist for a very very long time... I thought it was all finished way before the TSW fiasco which affected AO took place... what a disappointment.
I do like the potential change in Borealis, hopefully it will go back to neutral, even though I've always been clan... it should not go to the clans.
One thing which has always bothered me, is the fact that in every single "new player area" there is just no way for vets to directly interact with them. The ONLY exception was the Jobe Research area (requires expansion) and ONLY if the person was under level 50. So no way for a 220 to go and meet, greet and maybe talk a new player into joining his/her faction and maybe their org. That would increase the interaction between the new and older players... start a gaming bond as early as possible.
Because we know how well each new player area has worked out in the past...
1. Drop a new player in a backyard with no direction what so ever (AO launch).
2. Drop a new *paid player in another area with no direction what so ever (Jobe Research).
3. Drop a froob player in another area where there is aliens and, very little direction what so ever (and for a while people couldn't even figure out how to get out of the crashed ship and quit the game even before they hit the beach).
Just like the merge, no room for mistakes (you could have made an app to backup all our prefs, scripts and settings but were too lazy to develop it).

Please consider the tone in which you address the community, because when you reply to one of us, you reply to ALL of us.
And you can certainly assume that some of the AO customers, are also AoC and TSW customers and/or have friends/family here. And... boulders roll downhill.

He made an all-encompassing statement and I pointed it out. That is not trollbait, if it is, 95% of this forum is trolling all the time.
From my point of view, very little to nothing new has happened that hasn't already happened under other game leads and his original statement to me seemed very final, which ofc, was not true, hence the post.

Tip #743: As noted in Tip #244, tea bags have an infinite variety of uses. However, there's always one jerk who will want to give you crap over drinking tea. Particularly if in a new town, use this as an opportunity to assert yourself. Any drunken idiot can win a bar fight. It takes a real man to win a bar fight while enjoying a cup of Earl Grey.
Maybe I can put it in perspective for you as to why some players are bitter....
Since the New Engine was announced:
Ppl have finished high school, gone on to college and earned degrees...
Ppl that were not old enuff to drive when the engine was announced now are married and have children....
Children that were BORN on the day engine was announced are now in GRADE SCHOOL.....
I quit paying almost a year and a half ago. Why? I became an unhappy consumer. I'm sure they covered that somewhere in GD school. My entire 45+ person Org left. So, when ppl have ZERO patience for anything, and bitterly pour over every scrap you and Fc decide to toss us, dont be surprised.
If AO was a child and FC the parent....the Courts would have long ago taken AO away and put it in a foster home.
In conclusion, all I can say is, even Duke Nukem Forever came out. You ppl really got to get ur act together.
