You guys are saying he's a new player, but he claims he's been playing for 8 months, 22h/ week
Yup, counts as new player in my book

To claim that Uurlock has an agenda?
Do you consider Urlock an impartial and objective poster?

calling someone out for trolling, is not permitted
But trolling is not permitted, and Urlock was getting away with it in spades. He was calling for the rules to be applied fairly, his request was summarily denied. Cordo should have shut Urlock down hard but didn't because he was more concerned with protecting his buddy than doing his job or even basic decency.

or how many accounts this person had in use.
I'm sure Cordo will be relieved to see
somebody believed him. But Crane is far more believable than Cordo at this point.

Until he himself tells us what happened, we will only be able to speculate. I ask where he is, as I would like to hear his side of the story.
I'd love to hear his side of it too, but I fear he was another new player driven out by the old boy's club. I'd love to buy him a beer and have a long chat about what makes a good FRPG MMO, because I have faith that it won't be too much longer before I run into him in the forums of a new game rising to fill the void.
I see Grinding Gear Games, and Goblinworks, and even some of what Cryptic did with The Foundry, and I'm more convinced than ever that Turbine is squandering their rapidly dwindling time without serious competition. I already own a ton of content so I can putter without sinking any more money in, but I'm constantly scanning the horizon for signs of a FRPG MMO with a D20 basis and a strong commitment to crowdsourcing.
Crane_Mace is the type of player to find a game like that, join the community, and make it even better. He's a builder, a contributor, exactly the kind of person I want to have a conversation with, even if I don't agree with him.

And about bugs and such, on the PC last year we all (well many of us anyway), said that we'd rather see updates delayed and bugs fixed instead, but this is not how Turbine works and you all know it.
I know it as surely as I know Turbine is committing slow suicide by ignoring quality and their customers. They were innovators once, but clearly those days are over
