The Forum

[quote="HOUNDEYE"]Hi everyone, Just thought I would say a few things about Cupid and Matty's work. What they are doing with this podcast is brilliant and even if you don't like them, EVERYONE should be on board with this podcast. I love listening to it while I'm working. If it wasn't for Matty and his youtube videos I would probably have never come back. He has shown that Soma is still alive and well and that is what old players who are indecisive about coming back need to see. I imagine there's a few other returning players here too purely because of his videos. The podcast itself, is a brilliant way to have discussions about all the issues/good things about the game that we do all need to be speaking about. We all now have a central hub to voice ideas/opinions in a really easy way. Listening while playing, working, commuting to work, exercising, Brilliant. What is a shame though, is that they're having to spend time defending themselves against what other players are saying rather than talking about the actual game. The threads on here just turning into people having pops at each other. Seeing dislikes on the youtube video etc. Even if you didn't like it, a lot do. If a returning player or newcomer saw that video and saw 50/50 likes and dislikes it may put them off. I'm not choosing sides, I don't know any of you. I don't know what has gone on in the past, nor do I really care.What I do know is we ALL as a community should be absolutely 100% behind what these guys are doing. We all love this game, it's why we're STILL here as 15? years later. In my case it's brought me, an old player, back to soma. We want many many more just like me to come back. They're going above and beyond for this game and I think like them or hate them, they should be appreciated for what they're doing. Guild rivalry and PKing etc is brilliant, it's what it was always about and what it always will be about. I just think we shouldn't let that seep into this particular subject for the greater good of the community and the game's future. [/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]This is a forum for game related issues. These are game related issues which are being brought to everyone’s attention. Cupid has come out and said VK will only grief dl and titans which is fine. Yet last night seems like poor old mistress copped it. It’s just one more statement of intent from VK about their in game behaviour which has been a lie.[/quote]

[quote="YAGUDO"]Haven't got involved with the podcast.. however agree with you 100%!!! It's a good weekly watch tbh and the additional of hawkmoon from DL was a brilliant touch!!! As we add issues here I wouldn't say mistress is neutral.. had a mate play and hibiki from mistress would attack him on his char.. this char was guildless as it was a neutral player that I know but diddnt tell him what side to pick.. let him on his own accord and views. He was accused of being me and left the game as he couldn't hunt and he logged on my char as accs was given for SRs and killed a few mistress.. then the PMs start left right and centre.. Think maybe being a neutral guild where most of your chars hunt at blg and Shanis.. got to remember 1 way or another a new char may be linked to these so called bigger guilds and that's where your problem starts. Can't have 1 char pking from your guild and then claim to be neutral.. as they say only takes 1 or 2 that ruin a name.. same thing has happened here Celts can't brand whole of VK with 2 people pking you.

[quote="CUPID"]Thank you houndeye for your kind words and possitive feedback :) We will be doing another cast very soon discussing more game related content. I will also be giving my side of the mistress saga as obviously DL are trying to flip and turn words and turn people against VK,When TBH "we VK" are the only ones trying to improve this community and give back to the game, What are DL doing? ..But being negative and trying to cause arguments constantly, Do you not read any of the GM Posts?.... They are trying to give there account of what happened even though you wasnt there.. I have the whole thing recorded as i was there so yer stay tuned for the real reason and outcome of what happened, :) You wont hear anything else from me on this matter, Stay tuned for Episode 5 :) Thanks Tom[/quote]
