BillMurphy said: I was contacted by several of the former contractors, that's what started this all. I contacted Vince McMillan before reporting anything. I'm still waiting for Vince's reply to my most recent email to put this to bed once and f…

She may be a great actor - they all might be ... but so what? This is supposed to be a game. Chris Roberts (IMHO) has forgotten what the game experience is and what gamers want from it. Hours of cut scene work (costing how much?) translates into …

Bump for update. And for Bill to say how he was involved here?

BillMurphy said: I think he's talking about me. I'm emailing Vince today to get final clarification on the story, @Gyrus. If they are indeed still developing, and are paying current employees, it would be good to hear why they never finished pa…

tekadept said: Well he is active on twitter, yet didn't respond to mine or a PM about coming here and checking out these comments. Obviously he is the kind of guy who likes to drop a rumour and run. @tekadept So, do you know who this "…

Well, MMORPG.com your story concludes with We are currently waiting on further clarification of the development and employment situation at Stompy Bot and MekTek, and we ask that any and all current or past employees who are willing to speak to …

Bump. The lack of an answer here doesn't look good.

Another bump. Representatives of MMORPG.com have declined to comment. ???

...At the end of last week’s piece I mentioned I would talk about how it appears that Wizards of the Coast has marginalized DDO over the past few years. Since the release of Neverwinter and the launch of the 5th edition pen and paper ruleset W…

A bump for this: MMORPG.com - because mektekemployee hasn't cleared this up - you should. The accusation has been made that Bill Murphy has some involvement with Stompy Bot? Considering the context - that's pretty serious. Bill Murphy, have you …

@SlothnChunk Excellent research! Yes, it does look like the employees were paid in shares from the financial statements. I was also interested to see employees are paid by "check". Is this still done in Canada? Why aren't employees paid by EFT (el…

So, no-one remembers WWII:online / Battlefield Europe then? That's still running. How about Pirates of the Burning Sea? Maybe some real 'hardcore' PvP and RvR vets can give a few more? As for that idea of floating away land... this stil…

Yeah, ATARI owns so many good IPs (or they used to - I haven't kept up) but they did nothing with them - or worse - they refused to let their licensees make necessary changes to make good games (which would generate good revenue) Paradox's Diplomacy…

It seems a few people may not know what happened with this title? Here is a link to the actual court document http://spielerecht.de/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Turbine-v.-Atari.pdf (PDF format) filed by Turbine against ATARI. In it, you will find …

I like the idea of the bigger ships having a fighter. Multi-crewing is interesting... this game looks more and more like Particle Systems I-War Series all the time (which is a good thing). Also - lucky there are so many stars out there - I wonder …

Moirae said: ... Since then I've played various p&p games and been looking for online games that will give me at least the same kind of experience. DDO is NOT it. The creators seriously dropped the ball with the game, and given how li…

Normally - I would say this is too much money... But in this case I think this has a 'fair' chance of success. Why? It seems there are many people out there with very deep pockets who are prepared to buy on spec based on an unproven idea. Kicksta…
