  So excited to see this game continually go in the right direction. I have a feeling it will be a force to be reckoned with when it launches.

  These guys seem like they would be a lot of fun to develope with. I’m a little nervous how this will end up for various reasons but I wish them well and will probably buy it when it’s released.

  I hope they end up successful, but it seems they have been working hard to make a fun pvp based game. I want them to succeed. I haven't played a fun pvp mmo since Lineage 2, had so much fun in that with castle sieges and open world pvp. No game has brought that magic back, I hope that Crowfall comes close.

  

  I would give you a guest pass to SWOTR, but then I wouldn't be able to find a way to live with myself afterwards....

  I'm really looking forward to Crowfall, but enough with the interviews and newly released video. It's good to keep the community informed, but too much just seems... meh. It tries to keep the hype high which can be a negative also. So, frequent but not too frequent, enough info but not too much info, vids but not too many vids. Juuuuuuusssst Right

  You don't have to watch all the videos if you don't want to.
  
  Personally I like watching these monthly Q&A videos, I think one about 10 minute video each month is a good amount, but ignore most of their other videos.

  It was hard for me to figure out whether he was talking to Crowfall or MMORPG with this. With Crowfall, they have their own website that -- surprise -- has information on crowfall. That's where this is originally posted, and by definition it is wanted by the community as it typically features Q&A -- the same goes with the other ways they communicate with their community on their site. That is, a site made specifically to inform and communicate and is easily avoided. Questions and videos made in regards to questions asked and a community that appreciates the answers thereof.
  
  If spoken towards MMORPG then it faces the same problem in that it is a MMO site that reports on news and information (they have no power over the information that is available, and have gone on record saying that if other games want more coverage, then they should release information regarding it). In that case, the articulation should have been more along the lines of feedback asking for a feature that blocks games they don't want to see. Though a much more realistic and feasible thing is to just ignore -- easily, mind you -- anything that pops up regarding it. It's very easy to just not click on something that pops up if you don't want to see it, and may be a problem if there's a compulsion to click all the things, ever.
  
  In the third case, it could be a general statement that people -- by human nature -- naturally get tired of things and tend to hate and act first rather than think things through intelligently and rationally. A sort of devil's advocate assertion. Though again, the articulation doesn't lend well to this. It also would still be confusing as to who the intended recipient is, as the same things stated above remain true, especially about crowfall.com, its existence, the other outlets it uses, and the fact that people on that site are on it for information in the first place -- and are the ones asking for these questions to be answered for them.
  
  In the end, it just seems like more a dictation that people shouldn't get what they want just because a small group can't handle seeing something. Even if it's easy to avoid and has its own corner of the internet that you have to purposely go to and has no power on who reports on it.

  Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing).  German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. citizens for over a century.  Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now).  I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things).  In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while.  If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.
  

  
  

  Also, I thoroughly enjoy debates and have accounts on over a dozen sites for this.  If you wish to engage in such, please put effort in a post and provide sources -- I will then do the same with what I already wrote (if I didn't) as well as with my responses to your own.  Expanding my information on a subject makes my stance either change or strengthen the next time I speak of it or write a thesis.  Allow me to thank you sincerely for your time.

  Some just can't get enough of it, some think it's too much and yadda Anyway I doubt they'll overhype with a monthly video seen by a couple thousand folks - majority of which are already CrowFans.
  
  So far they spent (info by Todd from maybe half a year ago) some $25k total on marketing, lion's share of which should include Kickstarter in early 2015; it's all home-made and improvised, not costing much or distracting them from gamemaking.

   W...aaagh?

  So.  You made me question why I've taken this stance.  After some thought, I think it's because I subscribe and view things related to.mmorpg.  thus I seem to see it from so many sources.  I don't always read each source, but I do see the ''crowfall' logo.
  
  This I'm seeing "crowfall' all over the place when in reality, it's just the same story.  That's my thought anyway.
