About 100 people on Wanderhome met in Theed last night to protest the proposed vendor limits. We had a blast and I was proud of all the people that showed up. The Devs took notice because we all started getting system messages telling us to store out pets.


The threats started getting better when the devs threatened to take disiplinary action against us unless we stopped. They also told us to take our protest to the forums. Didn't we already try that? And didn't Haden say the forum community don't count for anything?


Here is the link to the thread on Wanderhome in regards to the protest. The best part of this protest is it was organized in-game so the turnout was even better. I'm not saying organize your own protest on your prosective server but if you want to take it that way you can.

Wait, they threatened you guys with disiplinary action? Are we in a Communist country now?


I hope to God that we don't have a virtual Tiananmen Square on our hands.

Yep. Disiplinary action because people were complaining about us. Lol. And 80-100 ppl spammin was bringing the server to it's knees? I'm pretty sure I've seen tonnes more ppl spamming in c-net.

I think is is a good example how upset people are about the vendor nerfs. Wanderhome is a small server. Getting 100 people in one place is a lot. To have them drop their usual stuff they are doing to gather for a protest is big.


But at least CSR noticed the event hehe.


I was not there but the rule they were refering to is "obstructing game play".


Think I will send a report next time I am in Coro about spammer obstructing game play or those noobs who pull out their Graul or kimos (isn't that the most noobish you can do. Hey, we know those creatures are big and we are not impressed)
