When your fraps arrives, how will we know it was not made recently in an effort to back up the claims you are making? Surely it is possible for the GM's to get some people together and fraps a few shots of a group doing something
I can see what you're doing here ... as said above go look at some community vids - I guess they won't get accused of 'staging'.
I did indeed look at some of the player made vides but I dont see the big 90 person fights you speak of. Could you please link a few of these since your comment inplys they are all over the internet?
Can you comment on how many people are actually employed by SV and what their jobs are? When you say "the team" is working on AI, I would like to know what that entails.
Sorry - i can't/
Cant or wont? Is it because you lack the information or because you are not allowed to share it? My guess is that one or two people are working part-time on AI between other duties but you try to hide this fact behind words like "The Team". This is one of the many issues people dislike SV, the lack of transparency. If you actually approached the community humbly instead of trying to fake it like you were a big time dev house, the reception would be much different.
Why does Henrik put an MD behind his name on finanical reports, is he a medical doctor or does this have some other significance in your country?
Stands for Managing Director ... weren't you a big commentor on the Q3 thread....
Can you qualify that statement? What does a "big commentor" refer to? What percentage of posts in a 5 page thread do I have to make to be a BIG commentor? The truth is, I was genuinely curious about the initials and wondered if it had something to do with Henriks country of origin. I have a masters in international business and am generally curious about business practices in other countries. I did not read the entire thread but I may have commented on several posts where you tried to spin things but that comes from my distaste of all marketing coverups and half-truths.
Once again I ask you to stop the hiding behind things and just be honest with the community. The stuff where you come to the board and just post how the population is rising and there are so many things to do in the game is not going to work. What would work is an apology from Henrik and for you to focus on the now. Stop trying to answer questions about the past with marketing speak, we can see through it. Post a frickin video and SHOW people in the game having fun. Comment on events happening in the game right now. Give us an update on what territory has been captured and who is doing well and who is failing miserably in the game. Thats the stuff that draws people in, not the half-truths about "the whole team is working on AI" when really it is one guy who is doing it between 8 other assignments. Be honest, it will help you more than you know.

Question: As the AI revamp progresses would it be possible for you all to make some short videos showcasing some of the improvements with the new advanced AI? Perhaps show off some of the new monsters too.
Perhaps you can also add a bestiary sections to the website outlining things things like a little background information about the history of the creature (lore), what sort of environment the creature likes (so you know what parts of the world to find them in), a general level of difficulty to kill, if they travel in packs or are solitary, if they are tamable, what kind of food they like. Stuff like that.

Thank you for the sensible quesiotn - not sure if they'll be happy to release much but I will ask for sure!

[Mod Edit] Thanks for the response and I look forward to what they say about it my question.
i have a few sensible questions for you. You might find it hard to get sensible questions out of alot of the people on here other than the usual ones which they will rpeat over and over and which are prefectly valid but understandable that you arent in a position to answer them. But any attempt to get an answer from the devs is of course appreciated. Questions such as discs, tindrem, breeding, ai etc...
1. Knowing that you was a player of MO originally, why did you deicde to become a councilor and eventually a gm as oppossed to remaining as a player of the game. What made you decide to help the community as oppossed to be a player in it??
2. what aspects of MO do you enjoy, why do you think that mmo gamers who have not played mo before should give MO a try? what do you feel are MO's strengths over other mmos?
3. Did you play darkfall personally as a player? can you provide a personal opinion on what you liked and disliked about that game?
4. What future feature that sv have talked about are you excited for the most?
there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters.
Hmm, I thought my question was fairly reasonable so it either got missed or ignored. On the off chance you are still answering reasonable questions and not just picking and choosing I will ask again.......
What measures has SV taken to insure that there is no further GM involvement in player vs. player conflicts such as sieges and such?
Colour is just to make the question hopefully stand out a bit better. As a pvp centric game I think many are interested in the answer to this.

Pretty sure he addressed this in another thread.
Ahh, sorry was checking this thread since it was the one I asked in. But thanks for the link......... was much help.
Edited to add: Since I know some of you won't get it that last bit was sarcasm........
Ok you cant (wont) talk about exact dates where content is (can/should/must) be released. But what you should be able to do is give monthly or quarterly estimates based on how the dev team is progressing,{mod edit}
At one point you dare to give out a date, the New Year is it? Did you mean sometime in Jan or anywhere in 2012?{mod edit}
This might be a trivial question, but I would like to know what is your actual purpose to come here as an official member of the Starvault team and post more than a year after this game's "launch". Why now if not why at all?
Please take no offence to whatever my post implies,{mod edit} and sorry for not liking the company behind MO due to solely faults of their own. Thank you for your time.

Sorry the link you posted doesn't take me to GMTheia's reply to my question.
You claimed she/he responded to it already and that you saw it, if this were true I would think a link to it wouldn't be to much to ask. Though it seems "proof" isn't something SV GM's or Fans find important.
"Pssh so what if you've recently come back and found the game empty at peak times, the population is booming and I have video proof but... I don't feel like showing it right now"
Sorry if you find my reply a little harsh, just getting fed up with the tone of the fans and GM in this thread. The game is a mess still and has a long ways to go, SV has been just horrid to it's customers, yet some of you want to get attitudes about the complaints like they are unreasonable and others want to act like they never existed. Then you have the gaul to ask why all the hate towards SV and MO lol.
Edited to add: Never mind, after looking at GMTheia's posts and whats going on in the threads here it looks as if this is nothing more than more marketing. It's mainly GMTheia answering some of the more adement fan questions with generic hype answers then patting each other on the back with the occasional lashing out at those bringing up legitimate concerns about MO and SV that are keeping the game down and keeping the negativity high.
Was hoping this was going to be different and maybe we could see some forward progression but it seems the "I came to mend fences" was simply a pretense for "I came to market and hype".

You're getting fed up with the tone...YOU'RE GETTING FED UP WITH THE TONE?!?!? hahaha the irony is so sweet.
I didn't link it to you specifically because I don't care to waste my time finding it for a negativity peddler. You can believe me or not, I really don't care. I gave you the means to search for it yourself in case you were unaware of the search function.

I'm well aware of the existence of "burden of proof" but the fact is I don't want to waste my time because I don't care if he believes me or not.

He probably uses that to sound more hip and cool, like "us gamers" :P
Please stay on topic.
What gave you the idea to post over here?
Where are the FRAPS videos of your 100+ people?
He who keeps his cool best wins.
