New MMO Forged by Chaos to use CryEngine2

ahh yes the rule

Although the rule has had some exceptions in the past

I love how a potentially good thread gets completely derailed by throwing a rule book at my face. Here we are, on page 2. Thanks for the forum pollution everyone. I appreciate it.

Like? as far as I remember there have never been any other games that were allowed to be discussed on this forum.

try a search for "Crysis" or "Far Cry" which seem to be unoffically exempt from the strict rule.

for crying out loud - just live with it - it's a rule, some are broken from time to time, ask an admin why it's ok instead of getting mad at people who are simply following what is already in place - anyone who's upset about "having a rule book thrown in their face" or people "being a narc" are barking up the wrong fuc*ing tree

here's a discussion, one of many on the same f'ing subject - have a read, or do a search and pull up any of the other (at least) 10 threads on the same subject: #Rule 15

You are right, but there is a big diffrence betweeen those threads that were discussions about EU and this one that is just advertising a new MMO that might be using the same engine some time in the future...

This thread has nothing to do with EU.

Which was directly related to EU and was therefore allowed up to a certain extent by 711.

the difference does not justify the double standards: something that is "strictly prohibited" should be just that, not ignored for 2 or 3 related games but not for others. any discussion of other MMO's could be construed as related or not, depending on the context.

this is clearly related due to having a common engine, and many might contrast the differences between the two games implementation.

I understand the need and reasons for rule 15, but it needs revision to fucntion properly. as it is, at least two societies are effectily banned from displaying their Soc names. SL was discussed in its own sub forum effectivly for a while. why not ease up the rule for "off topic", with maybe a caveat for overt promotion, ie permit information and news relating to MMO and RCEs?
