Kudos on the new spawn. How long until you're a great-grandparent?
Just came to the forums now to see what was the reaction to the Massively article i just saw. i'm hoping the increased attention doesn't become an issue.
Now off to read the article itself...
I figure the attention was always on the rise, but more we need to be respecting them. Some people really made us look bad way back, belittling them and whatnot on the pages. Heck, some people immediately misinterpreted and then decided to be all defiant "Well i'm going to start spamming them anyways because thats the right thing to do and I don't care what anyone else says!" very early on, me and a few others were telling these same fools to not do it as they'd ruin the chances for everyone else. This was on the same save city of heroes page that now has one of Iron Wolfs messages stickied. I was the first to mention to them but I also mentioned they need to quiet down.
Heck I remember when facebook was getting to the point of really going haywire, facebook of all places, which was funny since people tend to post with their real name.
For me and posting on facebook that time, it's a mixed bag for me. I regret doing so, as I felt maybe spreading word was to fast. On the other hand, word needed to get to them to stop flooding NCSoft and at the same time, they needed to be told to be quiet on this. It ended up that kind of grey area of "am I doing the right thing or should I wait?". Knowing all that happened today i'd probably have made the same decision to forward what was being said here.
For the record, my post is not the one stickied on the save city of heroes page anymore. Someone else posted a similar message, this time relaying Iron Wolfs message directly to the facebook crowd.
