Dear chadz
i wanted to just say
fuck you.
mount and blade has been a pretty big part of ruining my life.i wasnt really interested in the medieval time period since childhood, that shit was old and boring, but this game has fun combat, headbashing and ladderpulting until your punk ass removed them. honestly, the native module never seemed to interest me its full of nerds and day 1 noobs and boring items. sure, you could spawn in and mess around, but it didn't have that 'autistic' feel to it, unlike what you and the donkey crew have managed to do. i feel that you guys have built on top of a poorly coded turkish game and in turn made it truly less shit. i hate everything about crpg, from strategus and siege to matches ending in a 5 minute long punching fest (except archers, they are just call of duty fgts that have no place in crpg or real life). I've spent 5 years, 3000 hours playing mount and blade, and even though not all of my hours are in crpg, they are my most resented and regretful. once again, i just wanted to say fuck you for giving us all a shitty experience.
i'm glad that okam didn't go the way you planned. i dont know, maybe your hands were up in some areas of your rear ends, and yes the project was too ambitious, but no matter what is said here, the fact remains that it didnt end up turning out exactly as you had envisioned brings me great joy. what i hope is that you and the rest of the guys take this experience as a lesson you should have just kept developing crpg instead. i have a fear that you'll keep on dreaming of a bigger, better game than crpg and i hope you fall flat on your ass again.
sincerely,
me
p.s. im just kidding i was bored i pretty much agree with everything thyrn said. even though I did shit talk OKAM a lot after it died due to not being able to play it when i really wanted to, I spent nearly 300 hours playing it. you had a good thing going and it is a shame you did not get to see it through. i really hope the guys you passed it onto can turn it into the dream you guys had, because if it does wind up turning out the way you wanted you will have started the foundation of what really is a good game at the core. keep up the good work guys and dont give up, i really mean that. love you all
