nemafakei Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Note the difference between:Hall of Fame (where the champions go)andHall of Flame (the WW messageboard, where everyone else accuses them of cheating)Does anyone else think the number of flamings and accusations in the WW forums had any effect on WW's decision?

Gobalopper Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 I will talk to him Monday if I can about it.Actually I think it had more to do with the layoffs as the person who normally did all the tournament stuff no longer works at WW.

ace1gold Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 why they layed people off and are they planning to replace these people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 Well they didn't EA decided they had too. I don't know if they will be rehired, probably not for a while if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace1gold Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 lol i dont get it at all, ww has over 50,000 playign on ts at one stage and their not willing to employee a few people to keep their games cheat free and mod their boards etc, it dont make much sense to me they got the customers why not support them instead of neglecting them, ww is very strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Well when the game isn't making enough money anymore, the developer cannot afford to do so. Much like RogueSpear not being attended to (cheat city!), because it has stopped making money. Also, the developer might not have enough time, due to working on another project, like Renegade or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 Hmm, btw, why did EA taken over WW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 WW used to be owned by Virgin but then they stopped wanting to be in the games business, or something like that, and decided to sell WW. I guess EA was the one that bid the highest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gobalopper Posted April 14, 2002 Author Share Posted April 14, 2002 Well I don't know that many people at WW, mainly Devinoch and a few others.Most of the higher ups don't work on WOL they have a seperate group of people for that I think. I don't know the exact numbers but they aren't as high as they used to be. I think now they try to focus on the newer more popular games.
