I am so not looking forward to the new GSIV! Stats just are not me at all.

[Betheny]

*fakes being surprised*

Oh! I'm so surprised!

[StrayRogue]

Typical. Who here actually did think they could do this on time?

[Betheny]

I was under the impression that GS4 would be a make or break thing. It would be released, on time, or it would be dropped.

[Solkern]

gs4 is gonna blow, if you actualyl think about it, they dont give two shits abot the old customers, they only care about the new ones.

[StrayRogue]

Please send that to Melissa.

[Solkern]

I would how can i send it to her?

[Betheny]

It's probably melissa@simutronics.com... heh.

I'm waiting for when they start advertising GS4, after all the hardcore players have left. What I don't understand is why they don't just start a new game, instead of converting the old one.

[Solkern]

like i said sountless times..simu is full of morons

[StrayRogue]

She only replies to ass kissing emails Solkern. She doesn't actually care that the people here are concerned. I've sent about 10 emails voicing a number of worries and such. Not a peep.

[Solkern]

You gotta remember, it might take her 4-6 months to reply, with al the mail shes getting cause everyone who plays is writing letters to her about how much gs4 is gonna blow wait patiently

[StrayRogue]

Isn't she "fixing" this game for us? Surely then she needs to know what we think.

[Solkern]

Question is, do they even care what the players think? answer is no, simu is all about money, they feel they can make morem oney, with a new batch, rather then keeping the old, when it fails miserably it's there own damn fault

[Betheny]

Well in their opinion they're doing the best thing for their company. It's a business decision, and while I'm sure we as customers fit in there somewhere... I guess sometimes things are more important than loyalty.

I mean, we can just quit and go elsewhere, right?

[Solkern]

Gemstone is a drug......

[Betheny]

Yeah, I used to think so. Now I'm getting the bigger picture.

It's just a game after all.

[Adhara]

I did not believe for one second that it would be ready in time.

[Betheny]

Lies, Simutronics always comes through with their promises :) *pets some sorceror's demon.... or... not...*

Shocked to hear you say that. Especially after our "Maimara looks like a whore" discussion.

Simu-Melissa@play.net should get her, if I remember correctly.

I'd rather have finished systems late than hurriedly done, piece of crap systems on time.

The items are not ready for testing but we as a company are ready to enjoy the money all the people who just signed up for prime to get in on the 2x learning bonus

[Solkern]

Simu is bullshit it'll be like breakage, its coming its coming its coming,, its not coming

[Artha]

And yet you give them money, happily.

[Kurili]

'Happily' might be overstating. Dont you still play, Artha?

Acolyte Kurili

[Artha]

Yep. And I love it, which is why I still play.

I'm pretty tolerant, and I can understand how something as huge as the GSIV project can get delayed.

[Weedmage Princess]

If only they'd put as much effort into completing 3....

When calling someone a moron.. it's always a good idea to double check your spelling.

Moron.
