I'm part of the casual mob that says "toon" would you nerf me, Lefebvre?

Clearly Massively has no idea how bullies operate.

They bully as far as they can go. When they get caught or called out they employ one of three tactics, or sometimes all three.
The 1st they intimidate the person trying to stand up for the bullied.
The second they try to say that they were just teasing or fake fighting.
The third they try to claim that they were the ones being bullied.

It seems like the_Mittani used all three tactics perfectly. This is classic textbook cyber bullying. 1st an online medium was used to cause stress toward the bullied person. Then it was taken offline to cause terror for the victim. When challenged the textbook defenses were used. They "bystander" (Massively) then did a classic textbook response by backing down. The_Mittani then cyber-bullied Massively, and has them on the defensive.

Read a book. Get a clue, The_Mittani is a cyber bully.

Diablo. I wished we could play that game with massive amounts of players. Then one day I read about a game coming out called "Ultima" and I was hooked.

@Borick
It sure is. Shame.

A pole in a game played world wide finds that more people can identify the president of the U.S. rather than an obscure congressman.

Getting into a bad beta, like FFXIV. That made me cancel my preorder!

I like both! Always good to have options!

No, no, no, Call it a Themebox.

I think there is untapped therapy sessions in these RP games.

A Red Dead Redemption MMO.

Steampunk mmo too!

Yeah, I think companies could find better ways to attract people to their fan-fests.
