SoE locking threads on main forums about their "beta" Secret. You are still in beta!


http://forums.station.sony.com/ps2/i...n.65279/page-2

Pretty much dead on. We are not playing the real release version of PS2, but yet another beta build. Now that this is being called out, SOE is locking threads trying to keep it on the low.

Its time to let people know they are still in BETA!

It's so obvious! Not at all because of it being as unconstructive as a turd with a nail in it.

In case you are not aware, the founder of these forums has also been censoring people complaining about supposedly illegitimate bans. If we can't trust the founder of what has been the true forum for planetside fans not to bow to pressure from SOE (due to perhaps getting a little too chummy with them) then you can't expect much more here.

Where do we talk, where can we express freedom of speech without moderation from Sony? The same happened in the last MMO I played, Warhammer Online. EA Mythic actually bought up the company that hosted the most popular (and previously unrelated) forum for the game in order to extend the reach of its control over what people said about the game or other players.

Made me feel ill watching that lock on a thread about bans.

Do we need a new forum?

Freedom of speech on a forum? Shirley you must be joking.

I'll let everyone in on the big secret.

The thread was non-constructive and provides no useful feedback to our development team. So yes, I closed it. And as I stated to you, if this is censoring I'm doing a pretty poor job of it.

To answer the concern? Of course this isn't Beta. It's like saying World of Warcraft, Battlefield 3 or any other multiplayer game hasn't launched because they are still making changes. It's semantics and honestly a little silly.

Feel free to focus on actual gameplay concerns and I can guarantee your thread a long and happy life on the forums.


To answer the concern about "false bans" we are shutting those down as well. Creating forum threads on the topic really isn't helping the issue. The Development team does not ban people and we can't discuss our process. Letting people run wild with their imagination only compounds the issue.

Now THAT is some tinfoil hat shit right there

And y'all are still worried about being in 'beta', I dunno if I'd call it beta but I'd be disappointed in the extreme if this was supposed to be the Planetside game we've been dreaming about for years. There's alot of work to be done and SOE is putting in that work. We gotta make sure that we're putting up high quality posts with as little bias and ambiguity as possible so they can be effective (Yes, I am aware this makes me a massive hypocrite).

Re: SoE locking threads on main forums about their "beta" Secret. You are still in b


urgh not this thread/subject again

i read the original thread and it said something about having to download the game again or something

1) where is his proof that we will have to download the whole game again
2) who cares if we have to download the whole game again

i like to bitch and whine about planetside just like most people but a lot of the complaining i have seen lately has been over silly pointless stufflike this and its making the real issues get drowned

Come on Radar you can tell me. Your real secret is that you're leading a Cthulhu cult as the high dagon.

I like this forum but I share your concern.

It certainly feels like some bad bans were made but SOE wasnt willing to reverse those bans unless they could be sure no one would make fun of them.
