In short: Even if we're calling you a douche and chodekiller is killing you because he's deemed you a chode, I'm glad you posted (and others have) because you all should appreciate this place too because people don't have to be filtered here. I just hate that you noobs never make accounts...

It's amusing how we are called the lurkers yet insane has provided a unmoderated loud proud forum to discuss and to bitch in freedom yet we are trolls....in our own forum kk.
Meanwhile noble good clean honest folk from sota posting under anonymity whack out the standard pens envy cap.
Ravicus I didn't get your point other then hey I got these big accounts so my opinion is more valuable. That's how it came across. I am glad you came here and defended yourself.
I strongly believe in people stating what the believe without being moderated. It encourages discourse as well as banter. This is something sota has lost sight of.
Sorry for typos on my phone

Sry, I have a problem I very rarely post on forums, because I know I suck at concision and nobody in their right mind would bother with reading most of the stuff I write. Anyway, I'll leave all of your eyes to recover. Later Well I do read everything that is posted here, from time to time I do miss things though! I think the only economy Portalarium is concerned about is their own. So they will certainly pump the real world cash for all it is worth in their game, just slightly before or after they complain about funds for Episode 2.

Yeah, I'll be fair to her though, I actually skimmed her comment and only read after she had quoted me and I kind of lashed out at her specifically. I do think though that what I said in there could be cast more broadly on the population of their forums. Also, I sold my account long ago so my involvement in that community was ending either way. I wasn't actually that pissed to walk off, but it does sort of encapsulate my feelings from dealing with the majority of the community overall. I'm really just kind of spit balling ideas there though. It seems like many of them don't wish to consider the fact that gold may have been included to offer real money as an option to gain skills. The defenders of the game's store have vehemently defended it by saying there is no in game advantage to any real money transactions in the game. I think continuing that line of thinking is made much more difficult if they sell gold in the store and gold is used to purchase skills. I'm certain if that is the case that it will be further be defended as not 'really' being pay to win and somehow slinking around the minefield the come up with some excuses. We'll have to see though. Garriott's interview with markeedragon tap danced all around the issue and actually got a little awkward regarding RMT. I think spitballing is over now though? Did their 5 dollar shit go up yet?

Not sure why your amazed by this. There are many of us that come over here. I just posted because I got called out. What is the difference to you anyways. You guys do the same thing. You lurk over there and take screenshots to post over here. Really no difference. We are all curious creatures that want to know the latest gossip lol. No, it's not the same. You have the ability to come over here and post, because Insane believes in an open forum. We don't have the same ability because you and your overseers try and hide anything that's not rainbows and unicorns about SotA and ban those who fuck with that fantasy. If I get "called out" on your forums, I can't post. Get it? And don't bullshit us with your claims of "curiosity". I've dealt with you people on your forums in the past. All the snide, passive-aggressive responses when you don't like what's being said. All that spills over here in the same vile output you accuse us of doing. You're not a community, you're a pack of rabid wolves protecting an investment that is crashing and burning.

Then please clarify, I am not getting your meaning. Are you saying that from you analyzing people that come over here to read this sight, that they are concerned? I think its kind of like days of our lives and cant miss a daily episode lol. Yay I made a soap opera!

Maybe they wont have a fleet of bullshit accounts to fucking report everything we say to get us banned/commented out. Ravi - not saying that you do this, just a thought. But if you do do this, feel free to let us know, I still won't ban you from here but I can't protect you

You're not a community, you're a pack of rabid wolves protecting an investment that is crashing and burning. You make me smile. I am glad you have a place for your outlet of anger. I am glad IM provides this for you to rant on. I am here, continue the criticism! Hope it makes you feel better. I don't quite have the same outlook as you but thats ok. Sea\ems like you have been wronged in some way, but I personally don't feel I had any part in it but whatever lol. Of course I am curious what you guys have to say. What other reason would I have for coming over here? I don't think I have been snide with you but I might have come across that way. Who knows. It always seamed like you had a chip on your shoulder anyway so you might have been defensive anyways. I have also noticed some snark in your posts there but its cool, its just the way you are. So we see things differently, who cares. If everyone thought the same way this world would be a boring ass place. On the further note of your hopes of SotA's demise, I could care less what your predictions are. If it fails, you can just laugh and laugh and laugh, I don't give a shit lol. If you are done with the game what does it matter to you besides trolling. Again this is the perfect place for it, and I am glad you have this place. I hope you will feel better sometime and not let all your anger eat you up.

Well I will be sure not to do anything that will invoke the wrath of portalarium lol. Na the only reason I even posted today was because my name was mentioned lol. Normally I just lurk like the rest of the guests here. I actually have had some decent discussions earlier with KB. I removed the offensive language that he posted about and apologized. I know I am probably what you guys consider the "enemy" or what ever but I am just an average joe like everyone here. I live eat and shit just like you all. lol. I'll check back in tomorrow and hopefully I have a couple pages of explicatives to go over haha!

Well I would encourage everyone to at least be civil to each other as best they can I have always been more about equality than most other things. I would also encourage the lurkers to come out take one for the team and speak, the more voices we have the better discussions we're going to get. I think some of us would really like to discuss some heated topics with the "carebears" or "fanbois" outside the protected nanny state that be the Portalarium forum.

The sad thing is they think we are sad etc
Yes I'm disappointed how the game is turning out and dominated by a few sycophantic backers.
I'm disappointed the alfalfa has no direction no focused testing and again changes dominated by a few elite backers. I'm pretty sure it's the illuminati.
There are many issues but meh.
Yes I'm disappointed I'm not sad or angry. I backed a game I thought would be well produced with a hint of uo hint of Ultima and some new shit. If I liked decorating I'd be in 7th Heaven.
I remember reading you don't let gamers design a game and I think sota has been the best example of this statement
Truth is I enjoy bitching here. I'm happy when I'm whinging and I'm glad I'm not the only one who is disappointed in this game, hell I found it by googling sota isn't that good or something like that.
I remember a year back on the forums were alive with people now well its the same crew saying everything is OK.
Come here we can cuss at each other talk shit. I might no agree with you but fuck I'll respect yards for being a straight shooter.
If anything this might be the avenue that gets sota growing. Open frank conversation is always better then closed of censored shit

And once they're done with the single player they quickly finish the multiplayer and release an AAA 10/10 game? Bam!

I just thought about fire lotus blowing the guys at portalarium after work and then staying to clean up all the mess of joint butts, used condoms and panties left by hookers.

I actually have had some decent discussions earlier with KB. I removed the offensive language that he posted about and apologized. Dude, if you were listening to the endless wall of text, you'd realize I don't think you should remove shit! I'd rather you be an outspoken opponent to everything I've ever said than to be some milquetoast pushover who changes things that irk people... So, if you are proud that you have these higher end pledges and want to lord it up over people, feel free! You paid the big bucks to do so. Just don't get butthurt if people mock you for it. Own it and fucking run with it. One of my biggest problems with the precious flowers over the on the SotA forums is that they "report" posts that they disagree with (because they want them censored and the person banned), so I NEVER want to see anybody do the same on account of me (or anybody else). Fuck what any of us think, for reals. I mean, it's a pity Port wasn't more receptive to a lot of us (I think the game would be in a better state), but beyond everything else, I think it's more important for people to stand for something than fall for anything (even if the shit they stand for makes them seem like toady sycophants). Just have a spine about what you are about... it's the SotA fanbase's lack of spine (when it comes to the many vacillations of the devs) that I find sickening.
