Guess Mr. "Don't want to over promise and under deliver" has gone quiet. I'm sure it must be consuming all his time over the last 2 weeks to print out 200-300 new labels. I can see how monumental that task is.

Sr. Producer/Project Manager - Joel Hager, James E. Proctor
If i read shit like that on an indie project i already know that the people involved have no talent. Spend more time actually working on the game than coming up with cool titles to give yourself. You are not Senior Producers or Technical Directors nor are you Project Managers.
____
Get some work experience with managing Projects. Takes some courses at an academy or University. Until then you are Indie developers.
So ... who's actually developing this project now? It was Electric Crow (Jason Appleton), I thought. Then it was MMOInteractive, but I read they dropped the project. Wasn't MMOInteractive James' company? If it did, just the name of the "development studio" (one person, no staff) changed, so how does that make the situation any better?
Gets more and more confusing every time there's an update. I'd be hard pressed to believe all the "bad-press" wasn't actually created by James/Jason themselves, especially seeing how Jason has a "background" in fight hyping (or something like that). Seems like a choreographed struggle to dodge the blame ticket.
Really confusing overall, but an interesting story to follow; it's very Law and Order: SVU.
I just checked out their forum, even though my SiteAdviser popped up with a warning asking if I "Really Wanted" to go there...
Seems like yesterday was supposed to be their public stress test, but it never happened. People posting on the forums asking about it were answered by James with the response that ""He was sick".
Yup, things sure have changed for this game!

My Company MMO Interactive owns and is developing Greed Monger. We have a team made up of between 15 and 20 members and we are constantly bringing more people on board. We are in the process of completely rebranding GM and starting over with just keeping the core features in tact. We will have more information once we are ready to reveal things.

I really hope you do own the company you claim. Were you sick as claimed on their forums?

Or are you some other James?
I am not some other James. My Business Partner and I own our Company 50/50 and we own the IP for Greed Monger 50/50. And yes I was Sick yesterday like I posted on our forum as well as I had some issues pop up with the build yesterday at the last minute that I wasn't up to correcting. I spent the day yesterday trying to track down some issues we were having with trying to upgrade our Unity 4 Projects to Unity 5. Where I wasn't feeling well I went and laid down expecting to just lay down for an hour to try and get to feeling better (migraine) and ended up sleeping for several hours. By the time I woke up I didn't have time to finish tracking down the issues and get a build uploaded for the test.
More smoke and mirrors, blame-dodging, and ticket-passing from Greed Monger.
Promised stress test? Undelivered.
T-Shirts? Still missing.
A new "company", who is still listed as only having two employees? JamesP and Joel, who I thought had quit Greed Monger PR position? Was he not the one posting the videos exposing the game, and claiming MMOInteractive was no longer developing the game? (My bad, it was Interdiction studios who dropped Greed Monger just 2-3 days after picking it up)
If you have a whole company of 15-20 people, why didn't someone else attempt to fix things for test launch, or even to call you and wake you up? Doesn't seem like your company of 15-20 people is very concerned for the state of the game, even if they do actually exist. Sounds more like you anticipate filling 15-20 positions, but none (or very few) of them have yet been filled.
"Constantly hiring new people"? Yet has had one, single developer since it's inception.
You claimed you have an advanced build, one which "far surpassed" the previously shown video, yet there's still absolutely no proof. No screenshots, no videos, no test build.
I'm sorry, it seems like nothing about Greed Monger has changed, aside from the name of the "company" (individual) who is "running it". Jason Appleton was the scape-goat you used for years, and now you're mysteriously "sick" the day the promised test build is supposed to go live ... Doesn't add up to me, JamesP.
Nothing you ever say adds up, JamesP, or stands up against what you've even said in the past few weeks.
(EDIT: It was Interdiction studios that dropped the game, my bad. Still, current promises and information don't add up.)
Where I wasn't feeling well I went and laid down expecting to just lay down for an hour to try and get to feeling better (migraine) and ended up sleeping for several hours. By the time I woke up I didn't have time to finish tracking down the issues and get a build uploaded for the test.
Wow.. this might beat the volcano ate our patch excuse from Starvault.
We missed our public test because I took a nap and none of the "15-20 people" that work for me had my number...
What a WONDERFUL way to show the public that everything has changed under the "new ownership". Speaking of which, Was your partner able to get the 200-300 labels printed for the shirts in the last 2 weeks or was that too monumental of a task?
You guys are certainly "Under promising and over delivering" like promised!

I'm the only one with access to the Projects at the current time (I'm getting us setup today with GIT so the entire team can get to work). So no they couldn't have gotten stuff done for the test yesterday and no the majority of the team doesn't have my number. I believe Joel is the only one with access to my phone number. As for the T-Shirts we are paying for the shirts out of our own pockets because we feel it's the right thing to do as such they will NOT all be sent out at once.

I'm not some perfect super human that's always 100% healthy... If you are then please by all means give me whatever medication you took to get that way because I would LOVE to have some!

More excuses and confusion.
You said on FaceBook, days prior to the originally planned launch date (25th), that the build was "100% on track and ready for release". Then, the forums mysteriously shut down the day it was due. The following weekend (2nd), you were sick and sleeping and the build was no longer ready.
And now your team of 15-20 developers can't help because they can't actually develop or work on the game. And why on earth would only ONE person on your team have a means of contacting you via phone? That doesn't really make much sense, and even if that's the case, why didn't Joel call you?
ALSO ... Not even two weeks ago, in thiss very same thread, you claimed to have the t-shirts. You said you just have to re-print the shipping labels and it'd be easy to do. Now you no longer have them? Which is it?
Where I wasn't feeling well I went and laid down expecting to just lay down for an hour to try and get to feeling better (migraine) and ended up sleeping for several hours. By the time I woke up I didn't have time to finish tracking down the issues and get a build uploaded for the test.

Everything you are saying is certainly portraying the message that NOTHING... NOTHING AT ALL has changed. You miss your big unveiling as a new company because you had a headache... and laid down and fell asleep. That certainly gives the public lots of confidence. You know what would happen to one of the guys that works for me if he fell asleep when paying customers were waiting for him to join a meeting? And he never told them until the following day? He'd be fired.
As for the T-shirts you are paying to MAIL THEM. You supposedly have the T-Shirts. If you guys can't afford POSTAGE on T-shirts how are you going to afford to build an MMO?

As I said bugs popped up at the last minute yesterday as I was doing my final testing before uploading the Build. They were game breaking bugs that I had to track down before I could release the build. We were on track and would have gone a head with the test yesterday had the bugs not been found when they were. 100% on track doesn't mean that it's ready for release and no where did I ever say it was ready for release. I said we were on track to still have the stress test which we were at the point. The Bugs showed up in testing after I posted that.
As for why only Joel has my phone number simply put I don't talk on the phone. I hardly ever even talk to my best friends on the phone let alone people I don't know in person. I've been that way my entire life and I have no intentions of changing that. That's the way I am and that's the way I'll be until the day I die.
"We are still on track for our stress test on the 25th. The test will start at 7pm EST and the Client will be available for download at some point in the evening of the 24th or the morning of the 25th. We will post an update with the links to both the PC and Mac clients as soon as they are available."
Via FaceBook at 11am on the 21st.
"We are aware of the issue with the forum database and the forum will be back as soon as possible. This evening's stress test is still planned and I will have the link to the Client soon."
Via FaceBook at 3:50am on the 25th.
Sounds a lot like "on track and ready for release" to me.
Hours later, you decided to stop the process because the "main forums were down", after saying it was still planned despite that fact.

That's going to make it rather hard to run a company don't you think? If you can't even talk to people on the phone how are you going to handle face to face interactions in the future?

Dude at this point I would do yourself a solid and just stay off forums.
With the " I took a nap and overslept" to the " I dont talk on the phone" ( BTW WTF??) lines this isnt going to end well.
This has been in the realm of utter nonsense for awhile, now its just getting comical.

I'm the only one with access to the Projects at the current time (I'm getting us setup today with GIT so the entire team can get to work). So no they couldn't have gotten stuff done for the test yesterday and no the majority of the team doesn't have my number. I believe Joel is the only one with access to my phone number. As for the T-Shirts we are paying for the shirts out of our own pockets because we feel it's the right thing to do as such they will NOT all be sent out at once. We are sending the shirts out to those who have been asking for them first and then will gradually send them out to the others. And you know what I'm sorry I got sick... I'm only human. I'm not some perfect super human that's always 100% healthy... If you are then please by all means give me whatever medication you took to get that way because I would LOVE to have some!

More excuses and confusion.
You said on FaceBook, days prior to the originally planned launch date (25th), that the build was "100% on track and ready for release". Then, the forums mysteriously shut down the day it was due. The following weekend (2nd), you were sick and sleeping and the build was no longer ready.
And now your team of 15-20 developers can't help because they can't actually develop or work on the game. And why on earth would only ONE person on your team have a means of contacting you via phone? That doesn't really make much sense, and even if that's the case, why didn't Joel call you?
ALSO ... Not even two weeks ago, in thiss very same thread, you claimed to have the t-shirts. You said you just have to re-print the shipping labels and it'd be easy to do. Now you no longer have them? Which is it?
Everything you are saying is certainly portraying the message that NOTHING... NOTHING AT ALL has changed. You miss your big unveiling as a new company because you had a headache... and laid down and fell asleep. That certainly gives the public lots of confidence. You know what would happen to one of the guys that works for me if he fell asleep when paying customers were waiting for him to join a meeting? And he never told them until the following day? He'd be fired.
As for the T-shirts you are paying to MAIL THEM. You supposedly have the T-Shirts. If you guys can't afford POSTAGE on T-shirts how are you going to afford to build an MMO?

As I said bugs popped up at the last minute yesterday as I was doing my final testing before uploading the Build. They were game breaking bugs that I had to track down before I could release the build. We were on track and would have gone a head with the test yesterday had the bugs not been found when they were. 100% on track doesn't mean that it's ready for release and no where did I ever say it was ready for release. I said we were on track to still have the stress test which we were at the point. The Bugs showed up in testing after I posted that.
As for why only Joel has my phone number simply put I don't talk on the phone. I hardly ever even talk to my best friends on the phone let alone people I don't know in person. I've been that way my entire life and I have no intentions of changing that. That's the way I am and that's the way I'll be until the day I die.

"We are still on track for our stress test on the 25th. The test will start at 7pm EST and the Client will be available for download at some point in the evening of the 24th or the morning of the 25th. We will post an update with the links to both the PC and Mac clients as soon as they are available."
Via FaceBook at 11am on the 21st.
"We are aware of the issue with the forum database and the forum will be back as soon as possible. This evening's stress test is still planned and I will have the link to the Client soon."
Via FaceBook at 3:50am on the 25th.
Sounds a lot like "on track and ready for release" to me.
Hours later, you decided to stop the process because the "main forums were down", after saying it was still planned despite that fact.
Face to Face I'm fine with a little shy but fine it's phone conversations I have issues with.

Dude at this point I would do yourself a solid and just stay off forums.
With the " I took a nap and overslept" to the " I dont talk on the phone" ( BTW WTF??) lines this isnt going to end well.
This has been in the realm of utter nonsense for awhile, now its just getting comical.
What are you trying to say? You don't think those are representative of a skill set that is ideal for running a company or creating an MMO?
