Most guild's I've seen were looking at Vanguard until it has proven to be a stinky pile of shit.  So now they are staying with WoW or EQ2, or waiting to see what Warhammer, AoC, and LOTRO looks like. 

Two words, SMOKE SCREEN.

 

Fantastic post, and every word is true...couldn't have said it better.

Vanguard, on the other hand just entered Beta 4 and the word is that everyone is very impressed with the game play and some optimizations Sigil are beginning to implement.  All theseprevious haters of Vanguard have been slamming a beta 3 of one of the biggest and most complex game ever created.  Vanguard will dominate LOTRO.  Really, that's too bad.

No. I'm a consultant and I have to deal with non-disclosure agreements all the time. In almost any case, where you may actually break the agreement by saying "they suck", most companies aren't going to do a damned thing. Quite true.

The point is not whether they may or may not. The point is that you have broken the agreement, a binding agreement, that makes you liable for damages that become a matter of interpretation. What's the point of putting yourself in this situation?

As a cop, you should know damned better than to suggest that people should disregard the law simpy because it may be hard to prosecute. Shame on you.

Ahh a "consultant"...  Where did I suggest people should run around freely breaking NDA's?  I am merely part of the discussion, like you.  Don't put words in my post that aren't there, but as a "consultant" I am sure you are only following your training.

Dont think so, sorry. That leans into invasion of privacy, which is more than enough for a counter-claim.

A court-ordered search warrant bypasses your right to privacy, bud. All it takes is for a judge to agree with the merits of a complaint for such a thing to be served up to your ISP, and all your precious privacy is stripped away.

Seriously, if someone breaks an NDA by saying a game "sucks" for whatever reason, a company is never going to persue legal action.  Now, if a tester takes and sells important programming or gaming data and sells it to a rival company, this is where the NDA could have some teeth.

As a cop in Southern California, I have had probable cause for a suspect having kiddie porn and have had trouble getting a warrant...

I don't know about the game, but that company looks like it would be awesome to work for!
