Good. Guy needs to just loving retire. Delusional fucks still think they are gonna crank out a mmo game in a single year. I bet they got a crusty napkin with the game design written on it.

Unrelated to smedley things... Accepting Kickstarter or other early funding just seems awful. After reading the forums for some of these new age crowd funded mmos and each player feeling entirely entitled to tell you how fuckimg dumb you are for not implementing their childhood dream sounds like a new level of hell. They say bad publicity is still good but that's not really true in the mmo market and you will just get poo poo on by bitter backers.

-Troika- posted:Who's Smedley and why should I give a poo poo? He's a fat man who ruined Star Wars Galaxy by turning it from an OK sandbox mmo into a really bad arpg. At the time he made a bunch of posts saying gently caress the old customers we want some of that World of Warcraft pie. Then everyone left and it died.  Also he made Everquest. It was bad but it was 3d and poopsockers loved it so it made lots of money compared to Ultima Online. Come to think of it he's probably done more to ruin sandbox mmos than any other dude. His new pixel game looked quite good though.

I sometimes get MMO dyslexia and confuse Smedley for McQuaid and vice versa. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm sure if he's the one that shut it down as I think he may have been out at the time, but he's the one that Brad sucked up to to get SOE to pick it up after Microsoft dropped them. Honestly people should know by now that Smedley and Brad are names to run from.

crew posted:Didnt he kill Vanguard too? Or at least gently caress up the launch.. I think he hosed it up just by being Smegley. At that time, the press and MMO players were so disgusted by the ruining of a perfectly good game. Smeg had to assure players that SOE wasn't going to make the same mistake with Vanguard. It didn't really work.

Smedley picked up Vanguard for a bargain bin price and kept the game on life support until it became clear that the server space was better spent elsewhere. For all that Smed's done in the past, he kept the Vanguard lights on for a while when no one else in the universe would've.

Also Smedley probably would not create an account on here just to try to raise interest in his game.
