AE = Nuclear Arms Race

You guys (paragon studios) have successfully recreated a historical issue right after the U.S. developed the atomic bomb.

You let the genie out of the bottle.

And just like America, you want to stuff him back in. AE was a major fiasco, not because it was a bad idea but because you didn't feel the need to listen to the player base or testers. You guys knew where AE was going to lead to.

You need to compare something to Nazis or the Holocaust to enact Goodwin's law.

It's also consider bad internetting to just out and do it right away.


I've got my stalker Artimis Setelana. She has 317 badges last I checked. Yay!
Also 2 servers worth of alts, 3 of which aren't catgirls. Mew.

That doesn't work anymore :P

MMO devs frequently ignore what their testers tell them if it is not what they want to hear.

I prefer the Pandora's Box analogy.

But hey, while the genie's out of the bottle...

Should I wish for an infinite supply of wishes?

or

Ten times the experience and rewards while I'm playing?

or

An instant 50 button for all of my characters?

or

To have an enjoyable time whenever I play CoH?

Definately this one. Excessive Greed is rarely rewarded without severe and unforseen consequences. Everything else will come in its own due time.

Think about it:
Always getting picked up by the perfect PUG.

Being in an SG who's players actually keep getting along and don't quit the game at the first hint of nerf.

Ace'ing the STF and LRSF with a less than optimal character and getting the badge awarded for no one in the team dieing and just by the pixels on your character's teeth.

Pick up IO Recipes at reasonable prices at Wentworths or the Black Market.

Finding the most interesting stories on the Mission Architect and playing them bug free.

Meet interesting people on the interwebs with interesting original characters and play with them.

Be Expy Leech Free!

Never, Ever, EVAR having to hear someone ask for an anchor or bridge or the word or initials for Power Level again!

ah..... *Dreams*

There's no need for you to go all HITLER about Godwin's Law!

How was that?


Dec out.

Eh, A better one would be, "Quit being an internet rule Nazi! People who argue on the internet about stuff like X are worse then Hitler."

Good point. It's been a long time since I've been a message board mod and forgot proper usage. Not that I miss the bi-weekly emails calling me Hitler, mind you.


Dec out.

The game is really balanced when the servers are down.

V: Spike Cream (NW) & Crescent Wind (Nin/Storm)

NCSOFT may take away our servers and beloved dev team, but they can't break our spirit and community. with all your power, NCSOFT, your victory will be bitter-sweet. I, personally will be there to laugh at you when you face-plant into the ground.
