	See below. Emphasis mine. majmalphunktion wrote on Mar 20^th, 2014 at 2:55pm: It is not that really. Some of the things suggested, automated code checking exc. are awesome for our new game...and this does exist on IC.� For this thing, the 7+ years of who knows how many toes have been in the code pool. I doubt HAL 9000 could see down all the rabbit holes of a 7 year old MMO by any company. Unlike something that you can tie a ribbon and version off, MMO's stay live. They have to always be backwards compatable. You cannot break legacy. These kinds of things stop us from doing 'the right thing'. We know how to fix say, handwraps. But to fix it, and version successfully, and not break people, or now god forbid support two types of handwraps...it's ROI. Some investments are just not worth the pain. Sadly there are many of these warts now in DDO. And maybe there is an argument that there were times that we should have been more aggressive about revamping things, killing others, exc. Now take all of that, apply shared scripting that the ancients used, and attempt to untangle the web. Why does it get missed. Sheer numbers usually. I have a few, you have many. You find the edge cases or the thing missed. 20000 vs the few. It's cool, QA is used to the hate. We still have your back. You have no idea how much pain we spare you from. Lag is the hands down biggest deal right now. It has a refocus on it...again. We have found some things, that again were designed poorly by the ancients that we can fix and hopefully help in raids, and big ass party situations.

	I think its quite clear that the bean counters dont communicate with QA, so that would be pure guess work. Though its probably fairly accurate. It certainly feels like the numbers have dropped off significantly over the last year.

	Dear players, The D&D rules you were familiar with were too simple to understand, so we're continuing our move away from them to needlessly confusing subsystems that will make your play experience less fun and invalidate old builds and loot. We hope you have fun working out what the fuck MRR, PRR, MP, SP, RP, CL, MCL and all the other bullshit we made up whilst drunk means. Love, People who don't know how to fix their own mistakes cleanly

	I doubt its a good approximation of the real number. Or maybe I'm just hoping its wrong for the sake of the game. Would be nice to know the break down of f2p - prem - vip accounts.

	I don't see why is that important anyway. If it's 10k per server all is fine, if 9.9k, doom ?

I'll do it when I get home if no one else does. This kind of info should not be hidden.... Riiiiiight - because that will make Turbine be more honest with us. Or they'll just finally order Maj to stop posting here. I hope you're just trying to be funny.

	Let me be really clear. There was an agreement many moons ago, that I would ignore your...antics, and you would respect my privacy.My words would not go public. If that is no longer true, that is unfortunate. I like to be able to talk freely, but if you are going to buttfuck me for a night of the forum game jollys, I'll be done with this side of the community. We can go back to the draconian ways of old. I can bring all those anti-vault walls back. Vaultie on the council. Boom. main forum? Boom. Exploiter. Boom. I'm the guy on the inside that stops that shit. Or, you can treat me with the respect I treat you, and your opinions. Don't make noise in my life. Remember game to you, job to me.

	Ok then you got me. And beep you rest. Stressful week, you'll all know why soon. Let's just say I do different things for DDO now. Talking here has become even more perilous for me.
