Okay. I'm sure there will be a bazillion rants on the loss of the WDA (and honestly, I agree as it is one of the few things I actually come here to read).
This is not one of them.
What I really want to do is put out my opinion on another issue and see if people agree or disagree. So here it is.
While I can understand and applaud the increase in advertising and exclusive content given to many of the games review websites, it has begun to chap my sensitive behind that these websites are getting the information before we, the loyal continuing customer, have a chance to hear about it.
Turbine pushes us to come to the forums to be informed and yet all of the information they want us to have is given to outsiders first. Sure, it is just a click of the mouse to head over to mmorpg.org or Ten Ton Hammer. But it feels like an insult when an announcement is posted here in the forums that basically says, "Hey guys. If you want the cool new info, go over to their website because we told them and not you."
I've been with this game since just after it started and I love the game. But I can't help but feel like at this point the people running DDO really don't care about the forums population. Shouldn't we be entitled to the first look BEFORE the press?
Your thoughts.
