Okay, I am trying to be careful here, you could very easily have banned me DF, I appreciate that you didnt. Apparently I have struck a nerve or something, as I have not been posting much at all in the last oh, 6 months or so.
I logged onto the D3 to play some with the beta patch. There were 6 servers with a total of 19 people. Someone has said I hit at a bad time, I am perfectly willing to believe that. I know the name of the Dominion Wars server and did not see it up and running. If I merely chose a poor time to try to play Dyna for the first time in 6 months, apologies. I know many of those who run the EAW/OP servers also do the same for the D3, although I did not see it in progress today.
I WAS making the attempt to play the game, which appears to have been glossed over; my post was in response to the inability to play the game.
I am happy to see that there are OP servers running, and hope that Bonk will post those links he mentioned so I can partake.
I did credit and thank you for continuing to put out gratis patches for SFC:OP for which your motivations are known truly only to yourself. Some have mentioned compensating you for OP patches, I would be more than happy to do that, if it actually is true.
I was not attempting to knock Taldren, I know your reasons for switching to TNG and mentioned as much in my post. I was... well, gloating, trolling, whatever you wish to call it to those who proclaimed that TNG would be far superior to the prior titles.
Do I think my post was over the top or deserved to be locked? No, not really, but thats your call. Again, I am merely relieved that you did not ban me for apparently hitting a sore spot.
I am still a fan of Taldrens, much as I said I was hoping Erik was still contemplating the non-Trek based, SFC-style game he has discussed at length in the past. I am looking forward to Black 9 for my Xbox.
I still have some distant hope for GaW, inasmuch as Erik has stated that he wanted to make it, and persuaded many of us to buy SFC:TNG to eventually get SFC:GaW.
I for one am still happily playing OP and awaiting the announcement of another SFB/SFC title.
Was I trying to piss someone off? Yes, I was. But not you at Taldren, so I apologize to you for whatever you took out of my post that hacked you off. If the definition of "Trolling" is to make an inflamatory post in hopes of getting a certain response, then you are quite correct in your description of me as a Troll. Not sure about the "worthless" part, as a customer of yours (all bitching aside) for about half a decade and planning on being a customer of yours in the future, banned or no.
I would have to guess that customers like ME, who get emotinal about the few things they do buy actually are the ones who keep coming back, all problems and complaints aside and help keep you in the black. The ones that buy the game and dont like it or dont like bugs, etc and simply dont ever buy another product from you, or come here and make one negative post and leave and then return it to babbages probably dont give you that much grief, but they dont keep your doors open either.
In the future, I will be mindful of the... altered attitude towards critical posts and post more tactfully. (If I am allowed to post anymore)
BONK! Please list those links so I can get into an OP server, thank you for the information. Um, it might be a good idea to post them in a new thread, just in case.
HAND!
