Derek Smart has an interesting PR strategy, that is for sure. I guess when you are a long winded douche, you need to act on your passive aggressive tendencies towards everyone.fadedlettershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883994584254753889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542392409695107756.post-39733589823380118802010-04-01T06:34:37.751-04:002010-04-01T06:34:37.751-04:00His name splattered everywhere did sure bring atte...His name splattered everywhere did sure bring attention and new faces for awhile. But I think they're losing more than they're gaining. And definitely lost a few yesterday. When I had logged in yesterday before this all occurred, I was the only one there. Granted, it was very early in the morning, but still.<br /><br />Yeah it is a shame. The game had a certain charm for me despite the issues. I have to wonder if the investors have any clue how the subscribers have been treated.Aspendawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295434130203411301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542392409695107756.post-17457111539982697572010-03-31T23:54:48.301-04:002010-03-31T23:54:48.301-04:00Now, that's a darn shame.Now, that's a darn shame.Randomessahttp://casualdoes.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542392409695107756.post-50383628195821409632010-03-31T22:05:19.926-04:002010-03-31T22:05:19.926-04:00Aspen,

No community deserves this kind of treatment ..<br /><br />I've said it before ..

As a mechanism for doing this he has nothing but Alganon itself.<br /><br />So far he hasn't hesitated to suggest that current players who have concerns should just leave. Where the influx of new players who would replace the few still playing would come from is a mystery.<br /><br />I'm fascinated to see what happens with the relaunch. I would have thought that if Alganon managed to attract ten times the current number playing it would still be running at a loss, and I find it hard to see how it would attract anythign like that many.Bhagpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499162165023939880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542392409695107756.post-21014694922263475082010-03-31T16:53:12.907-04:002010-03-31T16:53:12.907-04:00That is just insane.

It's not the kind of game that can prosper in any way with just a few die-hard fans.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7542392409695107756.post-21840396360670793422010-03-31T16:18:21.192-04:002010-03-31T16:18:21.192-04:00Wish I could say I was surprised.
