	I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

	Technomage wrote on Jul 8^th, 2016 at 1:27pm: Oh why couldn't it have been the other way around??? Likely because Jerry is cheaper. I mean he can give Shoemaker a lifetime VIP membership for his phony DDO wiki admin contest and get reach arounds from the rest of his pony brigade. They had to let go of the LOTRO guy that did his job and from what I understand people liked the LOTRO community manager. He didn't need sycophantic suck ups and didn't need to bribe the players there. He actually tried to communicate with the players and it was appreciated. I'm sure Jerry would have said he would do the job for another gallon tankard gas station cup so he could two fist his colas when they're free from playing ventriloquist dummy with the hopefully departed devs Vagisil and Steel-shit.

Darth Anonymous wrote on Feb 1^st, 2014 at 1:11pm: Hearing something has "merit" but we don't have "time" kind of says everything about how Turbine works on things. eighnuss wrote on May 27^th, 2014 at 12:52pm: everyone but turbine knows that we are sad they are destroying our game majmalphunktion wrote on Aug 30^th, 2013 at 12:12am: I don't make the game, I just get tested what they build.

PersonaNonGrata wrote on Oct 4^th, 2016 at 1:24am: The DDO devs aren't motivated by a positive user experience.

	Who wold bother to play once this hits maintenance mode? There's no end-game to speak of and TRing becomes pointless when you're already about to easily beat the content. Sure, there'd still be tons of stuff to do for new people. But for people who've already been playing this game too long what's left?

	Novalis wrote on Jul 8^th, 2016 at 2:31am: Well, I predicted that May was going to be the death rattle of DDO in conjunction to the rumors of things slowing up if the current team couldn't increase revenue. I was a couple months short but here it is. Dude, every prediction you've ever made was wrong. You're wrong more often than a broken clock. Given your track record, you should probably just wait until there's an actual corpse to dance around.

	Bigjunk wrote on Jul 8^th, 2016 at 4:12pm: Who wold bother to play once this hits maintenance mode? I quit the second time around because of their behaviours - too many new systems for their own benefit and too little respect for player time already invested whilst doing so and invalidating old systems and effort. So, for me at least, maintenance mode and a static ruleset are now a welcoming though. I would probably start playing again if the constant tinkering were to cease and I can only see that happening at maintenance mode. Especially as, as others have noted many times before, the current devs seem to prioritise padding their CV over our experience. So yeah it's almost a prerequisite for me playing now and therefore spending any money on the game. That's how laughably poor this bunch are - they've pushed away a long standing customer with their ineptitude and apparent disregard/contempt.

	Half tempted to put up a kickstarter for purchasing the DDO license and game as is from turdbine/WB. Then I remember you'd have to crawl through the sewer of spaghetti code just to fix half a dozen things. Still, could see the potential in actual players taking over development and continuation rather than pulling the plug fully.

	FWIW, cordovan: "As with previous business-related decision-making like this, we really can't comment on personnel changes. We would like to reiterate the part from yesterday's statement that DDO will continue operating as it is now. We'd add that no changes have been made to our development plans."

I don't know if even maintenance mode would get me playing again, but I'm sure not coming back to the current environment of constantly pulling the rug out from under players.
