    Too late. It's dead. Or is that OK too?

    You might want to clean them up first. They have to drink the goat blood. Otherwise the comet won't come.

    My particular lack of interest in the list of questions was due to a couple of things. #1. At least two others had answered it already. #2. Based on the poster's analysis of what TonyV said, I fully expected my answers to get twisted into an equally-distorted state.

    Tony said more or less this, about a possible post Nov 30 sale: This is just a rumor. I'm not holding my breath, and I'm once again warning you, this is only a rumor. And that was criticized as irresponsible and exploitative. How many more times would he have had to say "This is just a rumor" before it was no longer considered an attempt to string people along?

It's the pro-Titan crowd that have called us every name in the book and expressed the opinion that contrary opinions are intrinsically "trolling". It's sad and pitiful that "hope" has transformed to "you're a troll".
    Too many generalizations, which I admit I was guilty of too. Both sides of the Titan debate got more or less dragged into a ridiculously over-heated argument by one or two individuals who had no tact. In short, both 'organizations' were judged based on the actions of their most extremist "supporters."

    After the way things calmed down in the infamous "hope of haven't given up" thread, I began to notice that a lot of the more heated bickering between Titan folks and those who disagree with Titan, were being blown way out of proportion by a very tiny minority. It's sort of like what happens when someone judges a nation by what a terrorist group (that is not endorsed by the government) does on its own.

    I don't know whether the people that are co-ordinating the efforts to save the game officially condone this kind of behaviour, but frankly, I don't think it does them, or us any favours at all.
    Agreed.

    Whether you agree with AFs posts or not, one thing in that thread became abundantly clear very quickly. There was only one side avoiding the questions and slinging insults, and it certainly wasn't him.
    He was getting answers, but for some reason acted like I have some kind of an inside-track on Titan activities. I don't.

    Instead of the server shutting down on the 30th, what if they just ban ALL OF US on the 30th, instead? That could be much more fun. And that way, the servers stay on, we just can't log onto them....and our characters live to see another day. We take the ban bullet for our characters.



    *wait a minute....what if that's ACTUALLY what's happening, and they're just not telling us.....*
    Or... or... they're going to abuse the characters in horrible ways on what will become private servers.

    Oh well. Either way, I think I found out what I needed to know. Purpose of thread ended, if it had one to begin with.

    Mods if you're there, lock, or remove. Whichever.

    Seriously. You complain incessantly about the troll yet don't have the personal accountability to not feed him. To the contrary, you do everything in your power to keep egging him on by replying to him, often two or three times in minutes, and then create a thread guaranteed to give him another thread to respond to when he creates another account.
    What's fascinating about it is... isn't the game supposed to be closed to new accounts?
  10. Also: inbox full again. I'd say it was because of this new contest, but then why did nobody post on the thread as well?

    But JKedan is right. This thread doesn't need to exist.
    They seldom do. It was more of a test than anything.

    If the answer what I asked in my first post was "no", we'd already know the answer.

    I think he got banned.

    Again.
  14. Sadly, there would probably be peace here, or at least... non-aggressive discussion, were it not for the continued presence of one individual who refuses to accept ban-hood.

    Analyze? You've reminded us countless times of how you KNEW everything about where the game was going, long before everyone else did. And also how you KNEW all the Titans before anyone else did, and how they ruined the game for us by not fighting the Devs when they did things you didn't agree with.

    Are you so fragile that anyone who disagrees with you is attacking you?

    I feel the same way Charles Foster Kane felt in that picture.

    Now that it doesn't matter you feel free to regurgitate the issues I fought to get fixed for years. Good job.

    Edit: It was always impressive to see people discover they hated a regime after it has been toppled.
    I think this is we're we are supposed to praise the person who is so obviously NOT Another_Fan, for being right all along when nobody listened. If we don't, the rage posts will continue until morale improves.

    The concern is more - there are additional costs on the part of NCSoft to create and maintain that forum, a reason to not do the deal. And if they do add that form, how long does it stay up?
    If they're that bothered by it, they can charge me a service fee, whatever.

    How long it stays up I guess is up to them. After a certain grace period though, I guess if anyone wants, they could possibly get it done via a service ticket instead?

    Once it's set up, the automated transfer service is less trouble though. My domain registrar got bought out once and set up a service like this, and that was active for a couple years.

    It would take some technical wizardry, but it could be a lot worse. The cost of it would be a pebble drop in the pond.

    And if you mean that it makes the sale less valuable... if someone DOESN'T transfer their character data, they either

    A: Don't trust the new company
    B: Don't want to play the game anymore
    C: Plan on starting over with new characters

    So, has the buyer really lost anything besides spam rights?
  22. If NCsoft is really that concerned about privacy issues, the solution is simple. When we log into our NC account, there's a form we can enter and digitally sign to transfer our data to the new owner, and possibly even customize what forms of information get transferred.
