My sentiments exactly. I preached this game to my friends ever since Beta. I got all three people I gave my trial keys to during The Hunt for Morpheus event to sign up for a full account (never got my rewards, by the way). I try my darndest to keep myself and my factionmates entertained during lulls between updates and events.

But this...is just inexcusable. You can't brush off a year's worth of speculation and anticipation with three two-sentence paragraphs. There are so many hints towards new organizations being formed, and now we find out, after almost a year since going live, that they haven't been worked on? Why weren't we told this earlier? What possible reasoning could there be not to implement such a highly-requested and popular addition to the game?

I really respect you guys. You've got a lot of talent, but sometimes I wonder if the person making the decisions around there has any idea what the community wants. Whether it's Andy Kaplan or Walrus, or some big-wig at SOE, they need to reconsider this huge mistake.

That looking glass hurt. I really feel like I've just taken a hit to the nads.

Why did it take so long for us to be told it wouldn't be happening anytime soon?

I just want to say it again: take your time to get CR 2.0 right.  I just don't see any big rush with this.  Take the time you need to get everything working smoothly and satisfactorily. 

And let me encourage people to get active on the QA server.  I was there yesterday, trying out the coding, and saw veeery few other people there.

Again, ditto...

This tells me one of two things...

a) the devs don't read the forums (we've kinda figured this for a while now) and don't realise that people are starting to speculate about such things to the point where it almost becomes expected...

b) the devs don't care whether or not we speculate. 

Someone finally had to mention it in a OSotLG in a blase, disinterested way.  And I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR this "sorry, I can't answer that question because it's a future release question..."  CRUD.  If someone asks something to which the answer is NO!... then tell them that before it gets out of hand as it apparently has.

you give hints without realizing it and then expect us to believe that it was all coincidental. 

Bad move devs... bad move

i think it is wrong to accuse the devs here.  the devs play this game.  the devs (i think!) love this game as much as we do (probably more, it's their baby).  They are just not getting the support they need ie new employees etc to handle the workload that this game requires. 

I fear they never will get the support, because cutting features is no way to encourage a new player base.

I understand it's not the devs fault per-se... but SOMEONE either overlooked the fact that so many people were starting to expect new orgs, or they did not care (God help SOE if it's the latter)

I seem to remember a while back when everyone was speculating about melee weapons in game (oh the threads created dedicated to that topic... *shudder* )... but i seem to remember one of the devs stepping up and dismissing that claim as "not in the works, but definately on the table as something to think about, possibly for a future expansion"... this is the kind of answer we expect.

Also, if I remember correctly, the Org speculations occured right around the time of the melee speculations... why was one dismissed but not the other?

As I said, bad marketing leads to bad PR...

The packmaps have voice clips of other organizations heads, i.e. Cryptos saying "I'm pleased you've joined us."

So why would those clips have been made a loooooong time ago, if the plan was to not implement new orgs?

Seems to me like Lith was planning on new orgs, and SOE changed their mind about it :0

That's a definate possibility, and SOE completely either ignored it or didn't even know it was there (hence the reason why I think they never read the general discussion threads)

i am absolutely crushed, you devs better release some apology or a "we'll work on it NOW" or something. I know how big CR 2.0 is and all, but CR 2.0 is not what the game needs at this moment. CR 2.0 had better make me wanna self-substatiate in my seat. If it doesn't then the Anniversary had better be absolutely HUGEcuz if its not, im not sure if i can continue to pay my subscription. The whole community is willing to pay at least say $3 per month more to get some real results.

No swords, no cars, no apartments, no solid objects, no new orgs, no better music, no fair punishments, no lag reduction, no cinematics till April, no Sentinels till God knows when (still got the one from November 05), Tasteewheats gone so no ZionMainframe, no Parties in Club Hel without enormous complication, no new districts, no Zion construct, no use of the Construct hardline feature.............

But remember ppl, we still got CR 2.0 and the anniversary. sure.

Honestly, I reeeeeeeeeeeally wanted to join Niobe or the Kid. And RP can only distract us from the truth for so long. I can't wait to see Espi and Phrack's reactions. People like them have been trying to get peoples spirits up for some time, they've prepared them for the "promised orgs". You've failed to deliver.

Im still paying, but March 26 is the deadline. MxO dies on March 27 if nothing good happens. I'm staying just to watch because i still have a tiny glimmer of hope for this game.

 

You might as well blow up the world like you did in Beta, at least the game would go out with a bang instead of fizzling.
