I saw the actual Lord Recluse in person. He was there.

I thought the guy behind Recluse had left Cryptic?

He has a new child, it's possible he put that first

Good grief, what kind of priorities are those, man!

Man?

Now I'm confused...

Evidence of what?

Isn't this Positron's job?

It being a State of the Game address and all... It would be helpful if we got it from someone actually involved with the development of the game.

[/ QUOTE ]

It was on behalf of the development team - check the last line

So I was curious as to what made this different.

[/ QUOTE ]
Because it was fun?

[/ QUOTE ]

Apparently so, but why? That's what I was getting at - what made this fun when the same behavior in the same place under different circumstances is a suspending offense? That's been answered to my satisfaction now. I get it. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I acknowledge that that has more to do with my own baggage. I have this unsporting hang-up about advertised rules being enforced.

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't be so silly about rules - there was no debt, and it was on Test - so no change to your PvP rep or anything - and they weren't showboating either - there was no way they could have won a fight against so many Heroes - they came, they fought, they died, they entertained us

[ QUOTE ]
So, let's recap. A group of developers (presumably) turned an advertised social event into a festival of griefing, exhibiting behaviors (fighting in Pocket D, camping the reclamators) that can and have led to suspensions for mortal players.

Just so I'm clear on this, is that okay because they were developers, or because it happened on the test server and not to anybody's "real" characters?

Just so I understand the precise configuration of the double standard being applied.

You're not being serious, are you? People were calling fro Arachnos and the GMs all night

I try

[ QUOTE ]

I saw them emit the occasional word bubble clouded amongst a score of player emitted word bubbles.

Watch the chat window instead - easier to see what's being said

The devs talked too, they didn't just dance - and there were some crazy GM and AV spawns too

[ QUOTE ]

The worst part? Peolple begging for a rez. Damnit boy! It took you longer to ask for that rez than it would have to run back from the hospital!

[/ QUOTE ]

That was kinda funny - and so was Recluse and his cronies attacking the hospital, which made using it a bit dangerous

[ QUOTE ]
Er, *almost everyone* got a title. The devs and LH / Ex were handing out titles like crazy. I've never seen so many yellows titles.


[/ QUOTE ]

Synapse gave me three titles - "Party Girl", "Bea Arthur" and "Bea Arthur's Great-Great-Granddaughter"

Been great fun

Training Room = Test server - the party's in Pocket D on the Test server.

Do you like PvP?
