Bah, the time I took to check it hadn't been mentioned before allowed you to ninja me like that. I was supposed to post that, damnit.

[Man of Paper]

I am not mad only because I am playing with a cat. Were it not for the kitty buffer, I'd be all sorts of angered.

Hmm. Some sort of error in the quantum field processor. Reads "404".

What exactly am I meant to be upset about? The link isn't working for me.

That there is an error in the quantum processor!  What is there not to be angry about?  The goddamn PLANE has CRASHED INTO THE MOUNTAIN!!

...And I also see the same message so I'm not in on the joke either.

[Digital Hellhound]

Huh, the article disappeared from the front page too. Suspicious.

[timferius]

oh, ya, strange. Just up and vanished.
Anyways, a publisher has picked up Ace of Spades and is re-releasing a new version of it. the current version is a prototype, the new version is going to have tf2-esque classes etc.

[Man of Paper]

There is no cat now, and hearing about TF2-esque classes really boils my peas. We've got three classes and excellent mechanics, as well as a pretty balanced system already (save for the ease of griefing), at least in my opinion.

And I was just on the AoS forum for the first time ever. They were adding in mounted MGs and RPGs for people who would pay, from what I gathered? Christ, if they were going to do that, then Jagex is going to have a god damned field day with it. My first thoughts were the game was going to remain free with open content and accepting donations or whatnot, maybe give a little treat for the donators (something like Toady does), maybe in the form of unique skins or something. But weaponry? That's a bit much to do in a game about weapons. Especially when they'd be as OP as an RPG or MMG. But now that I hear Jagex is taking the helm, well, I just lost all hope in any balance between people who do and do not give money.

tl;dr I hate everything Jagex does, and getting game-changing goods for cash is poor practice in my opinion. Last thing I want is a 13 year old with mommy's credit card to be blowing holes in my mountain.

Oh well, if anything I guess it'd make my tunnel rat strategy a few dozen times more legitimate and important. Until they just spam rockets and shit.


Though all of what I just ranted on may be misinformation, I read the stuff once but my vision was clouded by cataracts formed of pure malice.

[Reudh]

I was sad when I heard Jagex were in charge now. They're going to ruin it like they did Runescape.

[Aklyon]

Whats a Runescape?

[Peewee]

This look like the article that vanished? http://pastebin.com/F8pC83D0

[Digital Hellhound]

Nah, it was a Rock, Paper, Shotgun piece. But that seems to have more info for those interested, anyway.

[Man of Paper]

So either Jagex was in on it from the start, or they're seemingly taking credit for the game's creation. A lot of "we" in there by the guy they spoke to.

[Reudh]

Oh my. They took down an article?

Are Jagex trying to be a twisted emulation cross of Blizzard and Zynga?

[Reudh]

Ugh really?

I used to admire Jagex as a kid. Wanted to work there.

Now they can go top themselves. Soon as the last of the Gowers' stepped down that was it.

[Flying Dice]

Yeah, Jagex went to shit a looong time ago.
