Smedley needs to go. I blame him for all the lost jobs tonight. His (lack of) leadership is what has put EQN into a bad position.
"Players will get their hands on an actual release version of what we're doing late [this] year -- and I don't mean a beta," ~John Smedley (aka "the liar"), discussing EQN in January 2013
John Smedley is the biggest crook of them all. If anyone deserves a one way ticket out of San Diego its him.

As long time MMO players most of us here have gotten used to the long development cycles from announce to beta to release. EQN has been stupid slow. STUPID slow. I mean, it is years after they have announced the game and they still are in the stages of trickling out information like what races will be playable at launch? I feel badly for the folks that have lost jobs tonight, but an outside company coming in and cleaning house confirms for me that SOE was spewing bullshit about where they were and what they were doing. Get your shit together, and actually make a good game.
