An introduction, a reply, some incoherent ramaling and a big ol' edit

Great!

I started playing MUDS  after I transfered to  Pearl from Yokosuka back in 95.

 Well an introduction -

 I didn't come from MMORPG, I did a search for RPG sci-fi mech and a bunch of variants and stumbled upon this

http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=292516

 I thought the idea was awesome and read the posts looking for info - found the url and figured why not - I'm glad to see things are progressing well.
 
 I imagined I wasn't  the only one looking for a sci-fi MMO, and I was right judging by the awesome responses I'm reading. I play AO right now, as a paying customer so I can use the LE mechs - however I am looking for a more mech - centric experience.

 You all keep at it and don't let the dream die, this is a solid concept and I see great planning - which IMO will lead to superior execution and I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands on, in, around, and maybe even drool on it a little.

 You have one account here for sure.

 I cant agree enough with the decition to keep all IP and rights to your product.  Why should you have to qualify your self to have them take over your business -   all they have to offer you is a big stick (use your imagination here folks) and a bigger headache. They don't give a rats ass about the game or its fan base (which is growing ) all they care about about is the bottom line, and if it doesn't deliver (insert mega adolescent MMO game here) numbers they will kill it - and your dream .... and ours btw.... or molest it beyond recognition.
  I'm so sick of elven based MMOs that I get physically ill thinking of the living hell that is the played out * high Fantasy * genre.

 If you can deliver, and I believe you can, you will have my full and undivided attention. hell - if you make they game as per your vision I'd pay double the sub price just to have a quality MECH sci-fi  MMO thats actually worth playing.

So my "Elven Archer" mech design is out the window? 

[D3athsong]

well if your elven archer mech design happens to be a 250 t loaded to the max with deadly missiles and your cramming them donw my throat, i promise to run away screaming instead of mocking it

Wow, I just got enough time to read through that whole entry. That post was from 2005, gas is one of our contributor members here on this forum. We had originally met through the now defunct swgcenter.com site where we discussed those initial stages of the development of FOA. He still stops by here now and then, but I think he's really drilling into school now. I believe he's moved onto college now though and doesn't visit us as often.

I myself wholeheartedly agree with that statement.  I defintely don't want to see an elven anything in this game, unless its a dead version of one as an alien.

Thanks for the interests Submicro!

As for Elves... welp, I figure Genoma Corp could come up with some genetic alterations to allow for pointed ears and other Elf-like features.  For a Mech, it can be designed to fire off missiles, and dubbed the "Elven Archer." 
I know, that was all meant to be a joke, but the possibility may exist.
(but not as having Elves as a race; only having Humans made to like elves)

I know its bad to quote myself, but ALL ELVES MUST DIE!! 
So if those poor sappy Genomans get any pointy ideas, they may get my point from the other end of my barrels!!

You sure your a lukron then there Aggy? Your actually going to go out and do somthing for yourself?

[Agamemnon]

Of course i'm Lukron, we get into action sometimes if there's power in it. Power over Genoman or any of those metal heads is always a good reason to get outta bed. Why let the borgs get all the fun!
