To all players, Order and Destruction, on every European server. I have checked in advance we have a critical mass of players on Karak-Norn to support this event. We now spread the word to the players on other servers.

Monday 27th July, 7pm UK time / 8pm Server time:

Europe Stand Together!

Every Destruction player log a Magus on into Inevitable City.
Every Order player log a Shadow Warrior on into Altdorf.

Stand together for 30 minutes.



Mythic have bungled every step of the way since the release of WAR. They are in many ways no worse or better than any other average MMO provider but we do not pay for mediocrity. We pay for excellence and Mythic's deployment of the much loved Warhammer intellectual property has not been a crowning achievement in the history of either Games Workshop or Electronic Arts.

Mythic make vague promises which are never delivered and they have appalling patching processes where they hurry versions through on the test servers without proper testing. Then we are subjected to all kinds of problems such as lag and shockingly unplayable gameplay conditions. They produce sloppy programming which inflicts misery on elements of the community for up to months at a time before they get around to doing ill-considered fixes where they tend to break nearly as much as they fix. All the while they dangle the carrot of 'better times coming / good stuff on the way' to appease people while their developers scratch their heads and hope.

There is not one thing that Mythic have implemented in the short history of this MMO that has been deployed to live servers and 'just worked'. Every single update has been marred by shoddy quality control and embaressing bugs that should have been caught way before hitting production environments.

Mythic need to make their processes more transparent to us, the paying customers and show they are directly including our feedback in updates, not just bugs they missed because of poor internal quality procedures.

Mythic need to produce better scheduled reports of progress. RELIABLE information on what is going through the change process. Not just pipe dreams from developers who floated an idea at a meeting which hasn't been tested but they felt it was cool to waffle about on a video blog.

Mythic need to show they are responding to player concerns directly. Rolling out comedians with silly sunglasses just doesn't cut it any more.

Mythic need to increase the quality of their output drastically.

Mythic need to remove the knee-jerk balancing mentality prevelant in every patch to date. This is probably one of their biggest WAR crimes.

Electronic Arts need to show they are on the case and support the community. Because it is the community on which any MMO stands or falls and thus EA's income. Mythic's behaviour is killing the community. It is being eroded day by day as the players lose faith in Mythic to ever deliver.

If enough of us stand together before Mythic completely blow all confidence in Warhammer's MMO incarnation we will send a clear message to this and every other MMO provider out there that we the gaming community want those who intend to create and provide MMO services that we will not just be fobbed off with vague promises, vague hints of future fixes if we just put up with the mediocre performance for now. We pay to play now. We pay for YOU, the MMO provider to deliver now.

We want and we have a right to expect.

I propose that every player in every guild in every alliance on every server in Europe stands together.

Most MMO providers listen to those that scream the loudest.

We're not going to scream at you, Mythic. We're not going to rant about how poorly you have handled this community and its ongoing concerns.

We're going to stand quietly for 30 minutes, all of us...

...With the gaming media of the entire world watching.

Although I like this idea, when community stands together it's always something worth admiring, but it will end up as Gazgore said. Mythic will ignore it and then pull the numbers and will say: "Hey, look how many people plays Magus, we did great job with balancing!". Same argument was used by some Mod on US forums regarding Blackguards, he said that BG is "the most popular tank among destruction players". LOL. He just pulled numbers from the day BG was released (many ppl created BG and for some reason not deleted it after playing for few hours) and failed to check how many players actually play them at r40. Statistics and numbers are being manipulated by Mythic all the time in their favour. Remember Nate interview when he said that all IBs envy BGs their hate generation? Duh. That has proven he has absolutely no idea what is going on in his own game. Check here

Anyway, if my account was still active I would join you, just for the feeling.
