You might like referring to strangers on the internet as Big Daddy but leave me out of it please. I've heard there are plenty of sites out there where men would be happy for you to refer to them as big daddy if that's what you really want to do.

Oh, come on, it was only a "silly internet joke in the middle of the thread" thing. I don't know if you're serious or you know it's a joke, but either way, meh...
And best luck to GR, wherever he may go.

So, my final thought regarding this - to Ghostraptor and everyone else at NC Brighton affected by this cutback: Best of luck for the future, wherever you end up.
[/ QUOTE ]
Echoed - that game is, at the end of the day, a game but GR and the others at Brighton are actual people. Here's hoping things work out for them.

Echoing too.
Thanks for your hard work guys
Much like last year's cuts I'm cynically expecting the next few workdays to bring some info about the next issue and the announcement that it's hitting test (closed or open). The announcement was probably due soon and it'd help distract some players from doom...

It'll be spangles next.

Yep, that was another landmark in the decline of the UK...
Snickers is a much better name than if i recall correctly 'Marathon'. Makes you feel you need to run a ruddy marathon just to burn it off.
Not a big fan of Snickers bars anyway Milky Way ftw!

Shirley Crabtree was a horrible worker and was equally horrible towards his fellow professionals in the industry and was caught plenty of times showing absolute distain for the fans that came to see him when the TV cameras were turned off. He only ever got booked high up on the card because his brother was the promoter.

....no not Kendo Nagasaki. I've met the dude and he really lives the gimmick!
Anyway.....News of this bites. I join others in wishing Ghostraptor and others affected all the best. Hope something comes up for you soon.
Guess The Dunelm Group which was supposedly an SG for Durham based expats in the US may very well turn out like that for real if we get shifted over to US servers.
That is if only everything I have on my account is kept they way it is. Well SG I can remake because there is nothing in the SG other than a moderate amount of prestige but there is no base to speak of.
If I lose toons, IO's, Vet Awards or can't keep any of the names of any of my toons, thats me done.

I dislike the idea of people losing their jobs, end of, story. In fact I only like to see people 'get on' really. That goes for everyone. It'll hurt me to know GRs gone as I think he made "it" as a moderator.
All these job losses on our continent is really effecting my ability to have fun. I may start looking to support games that are primarily from our continent.
He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

Me think, if there will be a merge, it will be just a entire shifting of our 4 servers to the US datacenter. (i asume 1 rack would be sufficient to host the entire EU community, or even fill up an exsisting one).
Bright side, AH will probably be faster that way, since it doesnt have to communicate anymore between 2 continents.
Ironicly speaking, as was also said on the US side, Europe players have often more lag then on the US, but there seems to be more MMO's hosted in Germany that suffer the same issues atm. (faulty switch or something in the infrastructure).

And you know this how, exactly? Because I knew him since I was born, and he was NEVER like that to me, nor did I ever see him acting like that.

Who will stop the trolls from escaping skyway now? 
Personal, on the speculation front (yes it's wrong to speculate but until we got official info saying otherwise speculation is what we shall do) looking over the fact that it's all being shoved US side would, at a guess (tis all it is) that we will be end up on the US side, whether it's transfering the server data as a whole or issuing renaming tokens and shifting the accounts across who knows.
If they do the same offer that was offered with Tabula Rasa (an NCsoft game of your choice and 2 months free), well I think Mumsy gave the right response to that earlier in the topic.

A real showstopper!
How many people would jump servers to one of the US ones though if ours did get transfered?
I would defo be taking it into consideration.

Another joyful day EU side, then .
Good luck to all in Brighton, this is a big pile of **** and I feel for you all.
