Okay, the nested comments are getting a bit much. I'm going to cut and paraphrase. Agreed.

"Do you work for Disney on line services, or any place in the Disney company?" No comment.
Too bad. I Would like to have known for certain, but understandable if you do not want to say. I don’t like “no comment” because it can be read to imply that you do work for Disney in some capacity, but it may be a red herring to try and influence the discussion.

"I would venture to guess that those of us paying for the game (you know, the adults?) would be less like to abuse the system and less likely to be griefers."

Again, this is based on nothing more than your perception of a stereotypical griefer profile. Are SOME adults less likely to be griefers? Sure. Are ALL adults less likely to be griefers? No.

Again, yes, it is my opinion and perception. The term “Stereotypical” automatically implies that enough people are characterized in that manner that they may be grouped as such. If there is a stereotypical griefer for POTCO, why not try to alleviate their influence?

"Well, no kidding? To me they would be preferable, and apparently to a lot of other people that post on these forums. "

Lots of ideas sound good (or preferable) until you get down to the brass tacks. That's when a lot of this stuff starts looking less and less workable.

Understandable. I was basing my opinion on past experience with other games.

"but I have done so for other games. How many private HALO, Castle Wolfenstein, Quake IV"

Problem! You're comparing a series of FPS with explicit client-configurable server functionality to a completely controlled MMO.
Apples and cashews.

I did state as much in my prior post. I explicitly stated that Disney is keeping this proprietary and therefore we cannot make our own servers. That does not mean it can’t be done, just that Disney thus far is not willing to allow us to make our own servers or create member's only/adult servers for us.

"Doing one does not necessarily preclude them from doing both. "

I agree with you, in theory, but as it appears right now, yes it does.

As it appears right now. But that is why this was posted as a suggestion/request. If enough people like the idea, perhaps Disney will acquiesce to our requests.


"You don’t have to agree with those of us that would like to see this option, but there really isn’t a necessity to be such an *** about your disagreement."

First, we've already had one mod intervention for name-calling. We don't need another.

Well, I was going to go with “act like a Democrat Party Symbol”, but I didn’t want to offend Democrats.

And I'm not trying to be. And if you choose to define not agreeing with you in a blunt and forthright manner as being that way, the problem is entirely yours.

Again, you don't have to like or agree with what I say, or even how I say it.

There is a little thing called tact, it goes hand in hand with manners. Just because you are behind a monitor doesn’t mean that you are entitled to be rude. The reactions to your posts have been negative because of the negativity you put forth in your posts.
