Opal tries to tell us it was the communities fault for it shutting down but It was SV who failed us in reality. It is an eye opening read if you have time give it a read.

Yeah, already knew this was coming. Black Opal threatened to close the Patriarchs forum if people didn't stop complaining (Though they were discussing issues with the game like dupes, GM intervention, bugs, etc.). Shortly after that he began making polls and crap to justify closing it lol. He asked those not in the Patriarchs forums if they wanted them closed and something open to everyone put in its place (Gotta love those loaded questions).
In the end it never really mattered. SV will do what SV does. When they do something like this if nothing else they can always blame it on the players. "Wasn't our fault, YOU failed not us."
Seen that coming. Excuses he is making up are pretty pathetic thou, only thing that failed the forum is the SV, not the community. "I want to assure everyone however that my office will always be open" ..yeah, to those with a golden ticket from his guild. Nice way to shut down yet another channel between players and devs, in order to cencour forums down compeltely.
there was already a thread on this a few weeks ago, it was discussed quite thoroughly
http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/329707/Patriarch-Forum-to-be-replaced-by-equally-ignored-forum.html
there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters.
I do not agree I just read the link thoroughly and it is about Opal thinking about changing it and putting it to the community to decide.
This thread is about Opal actually closing it and saying it failed because of the community. Please feel free to read both again.
Mauzi said it all in his comment on Black Opals post. Council of Patriarchs should be removed since its pointless for all the customers to waste their time on suggestions and feedback from the community towards devs and SV team in general. It seems to me that communication between SV and us became non existant and its getting even worse day by day.
Black Opal apparently cannot do his job effectively -was thinking if the cause of that is simple impotency by his side or its an effect generated by Henrik's general disinterest on everything.- and the result is angry customers fighting in the forums with blatant fanboys in their desperate attempts to get a hold on with anybody from within the ranks of SV and get some answers on legitimate questions and concerns about the countless bugs, the exploits, the terribly slow developement, the wrong priorities, the lack of communication and respect from SV towards us, their customers.
Personally i felt sad in my many attempts to get some of my questions answered, when my posts where removed without any particular reason or when i was forced to get myself into arguments with insulting fanboys, who jumped on me cause i was simply expressing questions as: what happened to Henriks promisse for SLI/Crossfire optimization, which was supposed to bring extreme fps improvement in the game and was scheduled several months ago. Tbh i dont see any reason posting again since i m getting the feeling that no one from SV's side actualy cares and they dont even feel the need to apologize for all the things that did promissed and failed to deliver or at least make an excuse.
Same deal goes with Council of Patriarchs. Total absence of SV lead several times to arguments between the guild leaders and now Black Opal is using that fact as an argument to its existance in the future in one of his failed attempts to be somehow constructive inside SV's ranks. As he tried to do with the Bug Tracker not long time ago and he misserably failed. Council is a different story though and i do believe that it doesnt serve a specific purpose since SV doesnt like to communicate with us or in another point of view they are terrible on that. Same aaplies with all the other subforums appart of the ones, who are designed and allowing customers to communicate and argue with eachother.
And to end my thoughts, since i m tired, sad and angry on the terrible state of the game almost 2 years after its release, on the ways that SV handles and implements things, decided to take a break untill TC its being released, even though my 2 accounts are still active and regardless that TC is not important for me and devs should prioritize on ironing the bugs, implementing a decent AI and UI, making buildings/keeps functional and things like that before implementing more placeholders, that will be SV's last chance on me. Poor implementation, more gamebreaking bugs, unexpected, unanounced downtimes with no ETA and no word in general from SV will result on canceling both my subs, unistalling MO from my PC's and never look back. And tbh since i m looking back to the time when i was trying to login in Beta Block B, history does not allowing me to be optimistic for TC patch.
Seems that the thread in question received quite a cleanup, hurray for censorship.
/thread.
If it's not broken, you are not innovating.
