all I can think is ..
1..I bet they wish they'd gone ahead and completed that interview that was suppose to be part two...and...
2..billing is still FUBARED and I've had a support ticket in for a week now and it isn't even assigned a "responder" in their formar, nor has it been answered.
*sigh*

At least MMORPG is giving a fair representation of the way things went. As far as saying things like there was no illegal activity with the unsecured billing that is true. It isn't illegal to go in and look at unsecured data. This was done by a few from the public. So the dude is lying in at least that aspect of it. I also remember where DB tried to get them to hire the major developers from Tulga to keep the game running smoothly.
I can't wait for part II because right now I see a bunch of lies from this so called DR. Would also like to see what Amon and Smeg has to say about part I.

Carolyn (Sylvene) is about 95% accurate in HER reporting of what she's said in part 1. No comment on Andercheck's commentary. (the prick)
The 5% that's inaccurate isn't exactly inaccurate, just a interpreted a little off.
She talked to a LOT of people and that's why it's taken so long. Due diligence because of fear of lawsuit.
I know some of part 2 but I'm not going to spoil it for you. *grins*

Uncle Ed and Poppa Rask will mearly pop their heads back into the sand and hope this all blows over. I do notice on the peachy forum that some are short stroking about the ' halloween event ' that ei ( ei oh ) have provided albeit a w.m spawn job.

You are supposed to be praising the miracle that is Amadans hacking of the game to get a half arsed Fall Fesitval !!!! If the general playerbase could be bothered to remove their mouths from EII's collective asses they might see the forest through the tree's. Still though gotta give Amadan credit for seeing that something had to be done. Playing that game must be a stifling depressing experience. Its probably a nice distraction.

Tell me exactly what people are suppose to see around them, Maddude? Billing issues? check. No dev team? check. Possibility of no patches in months? check. Client issues, world model? check. What are they to see, or agree with? the stuff frothing out your ass on a daily basis? the assumptions and predictions and accusations? are you the reincarnation of Nostradamus' left nut or something? Maybe you are. I'll call you Lefty from now on. Why, hello Lefty I don't get what you're so pissed off about. HZ haven't made money in years. It's a fucking failure. I don't care who says what especially the Baghdad lady. Horizons failed miserably under 'the vission', and that's a fact. Now you got EI in the fray. Is that better? I don't know. They got issues with billing (check) and character creation which is now fixed. They talk about big plans and so on. That's about it. I don't see people getting all warm and fuzzy or anything. Nothing like when TG was surrounded by the fanboi fucktards. The folks that play HZ know the issues very well. They still play. Maybe because they like it? Maybe this is a problem for you? Maybe you should write a letter, asking people to stop playing cuz it makes you all fucked up inside. Think of it as therapy. Share with us. Tell us how you feel. What i see are people like you constantly there bashing away and what the fuck is the point? People don't know these issues exist? Is it your job to remind them? Yeah so Amadan manage to get the Festival up. omfg that's fucked up isn't it? That's just fucking wrong! lol wtf Yes, Horizons got issues. Up the fucking wazoo. Before during and after release. Then and now new and old. For years. Yes it got issues no shit sherlock homely, and EI ain't gona be able to fix it after 3 months in charge, or 6 months, or maybe even a year but you know what, some of these people still want to play it. They wait and see. They don't care for the likes of you who only know to spew shit everybody and their grandmas already knew about.

I got bored today and actually went on Horizons. I am a little bit greatful that EI atleast got SOMETHING in there, despite shitty spawns. It stills felt like an old, forgotten game so I logged.
There is no point in logging in anymore.

Horizons failed miserably under 'the vission', and that's a fact. Ya know Phillip? I'm pretty damned tired of the whole "baghdad" moniker that only you and Tant seem to use. It's not that I care one iota whether you like me or not; nor do I care whether you believe me or not. Although, you'd think if I were as full of it as you seem to claim I am, Amon and Smeg would correct me JUST ONCE. But I do take offense at being put in the same company with a government that murders innocent civilians and then lies about it when all I've ever done is the job I was paid to do regarding a game. Give me a name - just don't put me in league with murderers over this.

Personally I'm just amazed mmorpg.com finally wrote a critical article on Horizons.

Ya know Phillip? I'm pretty damned tired of the whole "baghdad" moniker that only you and Tant seem to use. If the shoe fits . . . . Seems to me they have. Let's take just one example. Back when DB was running the show and all the Tier VI resources that had been in the game since the merge were suddenly stripped out, you posted (in response to numerous complaints about this abrupt change) that there had been no changes at all . . . that this was all part of the original plan of the game. As Smeglor has stated in this very thread, there never was a design document for Horizons after beta. Indeed, DB refused Smeglor's request to allow one to be drawn up. Kind of hard to have a "plan" for a game when you don't even have a design document for it, huh? There never was any plan for the game. Your dearest buddy DB simply shot from the hip, explaining why there was never any real direction. I (and I would suspect most of the other Horizons veterans here) could go on and on listing all the bullshit you spouted on the boards trying to cover up DB's total inability to manage Horizons, but we'll leave it that this one example for now. All you ever did was the job you were paid to do . . . . Funny, that's what Baghdad Bob said after Saddam was toppled and Bob wound up in Cairo. Oh, I seem to recall a couple thousand SS Deathshead concentration camp guards saying the same thing when they were prosecuted after WWII. Oh now, Baghdad Bob is something of a pop icon. Nobody, and I mean nobody, in recent memory could tell such whoppers with such a wonderfully straight face and actually expect to be believed. So think of it this way, Ophelea, we're just giving you your due as a gaming PR icon . . . .

You know Tant, I'd call you an asshat for your comments. But calling you an asshat would mean that you would be in the same group as the rest of us. And personally, I don't want to insult everyone else here by doing that. You see, being an asshat is too kind.
Your post is complete filth. It truly is. And I think you really need to step back from this game and take a good hard look at your sense of humanity because you appear to have lost it. No matter what, Ophelea is a person and she was doing her job for Tulga. You may not like Tulga, or Ophelea or David, but she was doing what she was told to do (and paid to do).
Comparisons to the Nazis or dictators... Thats just pathetic.
I would also like to ask the mods to review this thread as it has gone way off-topic and Tant's post and Phillip's post (and probably my post) need to be moved into the PvP forum instead of left here where they can derail this so completely.
