Really?!  So if I want them to be a good development team who produces a great game in WAR they will be?  That is very reassuring to hear.  I am glad to hear another's support of this game.  Thanks Al. :)

 

 

No, they will only be nice, open friendly, cool, and will create a game that 80% of the gamers will probably enjoy.

But... that is not what you said.  You said they would be exactly what we wanted them to be.  Now you are saying they otherwise?  Maybe this would be a better "conversation" if you just create a thread and argue with yourself in it?  Or contradict yourself elsewhere?  No point in filling up this thread with a one man argument.  Hehe. :)

Hmmm... well I think I'm talking to an educated audience that can understand a meaning beyond the literal words. I meant they will try to appear to be very friendly and cool, if only to attract more people to follow their project.

Hmmmm a business owner and his staff being "friendly and cool".  

What a concept...........customer service with a smile? ^^    Hey I'll take some of that. :D

Wait a minute!  OMG!  We are an educated audience, and no tmindless trolls who will play whatever crap is put in front of us?  I am not sure I like your tone.  And then, you claim they... maintain open communication with their target consumers so they can provide them something they enjoy, and we will purchase it to fulfill our personal entertainment wishes, thereby completing the cycle that is commerce?  You are overstepping some bounds here, my fellow poster.

Seriously funny!

So far we have no reason to suspect Mythic of being dishonest with us..  it is still possible, but looking highly unlikely.  The OP is right, when companies are trying to screw us they tend to close up and keep stuff secret.

WAR is going to have an open beta (with no NDA)..  I assume it wont be to limited parts of the game as with AoC.. 

We have every reason to be positive about this game at this current time.

Well...to be honest ...all game companies are businesses,  and most business owners I know...are in it for the cash that can be made, and also to make back money that was invested to create the product in the first place.

Games cost millions these days to make.......so if they want to get rich ..I can't blame them one bit. :)

I don't blame them either. I think they are doing great. There is a lot of money and risk involved. But lets not be naive. They want to be the next WOW, they want the money. Nothing wrong about it, I wish I could be rich too.

Bah, "the next WoW" phrase is so over used now a days with MMO's. I like to think WAR wants to be the next Tickle Me Elmo

Yes you are right.  The player will atleast know what they are getting, you know what I mean?  It's not like you can complain that you had no idea the game would be instanced or something like that because they show their deck before release.  It sucks to get hit out of the blue such as TB or VSoH.  Atleast here we know what we are getting.

I have never used it with another MMO. I think WAR has the right features, timing and company to be next WOW. Never happened before with another MMO.

Now if we could have some official forums i'd be thrilled.

I'm leaning more to not having official forums because I believe they just become fetid cesspools of complaints, whines and people who don't even play the game (ever or anymore) going in and complaining and stirring the pot just for the sake of stirring the pot.

As long as they have the WAR Herald where I can send in my feedback regarding various things I may find problematic or need help with then I'm all good.  I can always come here or go to the VN Boards for that sort of stuff like I did when I played Mythic's  other game Dark Age of Camelot.

Okay, perhaps not official forums. The whining does get old.

I would like to have some sort of official daily communication though. Perhaps not  every day, but  definitely more often than weekly or monthly.

I hate the wow forums, and I really hate how folks have to BEG for a blue confirmation. A submission style Q and A would be really nice actually.

EA/Mythic has been VERY forthcoming about annoucements, and I love them for that. I just hate hearing about things here first, or on other *ahem* less legal sources.
