Anyways, Stradden said that MMORPG.Com is in talks with Mortal Online, and they do want to add a forum for it, but they need a couple of things which the developers of MO haven't provided yet.
Someone posted that the rule is 5 screenshots, and MO only has one, so log onto the MO website and demand a few more screenies for starters.
Lego universe doesn't have 5 screenshots, but they have been added.
Actually, Stradden didn't mention the 5 screenshot rule, some one else did, so I don't know if that's actually a rule or not. Maybe someone could post a link to the rules for a game being listed on MMORPG.Com.
What Stradden said is:

I was Naval Intel and understand NDA's very well. You have to agree to an NDA to be subject to it. Like I said, maybe they could try to go after you for infringing on their intellectual property (but I think they have to prove you profitted from it) - it is more likely they would try to go after who ever leaked the information to you and then ban you from playing their game. They can always refuse you service.
What the Darkfall guys decide to do about NDA violators is their business. I'm just talking about the MMORPG.com side of things.
So what if so and so says something which may or may not be a real game feature. Do you have to verify that is it part of the game to make sure it is an NDA violation? If not, then you can warn/ban people on joke posting. Seems like you are putting yourself into a tough situation.
Or is this really about the negative darkfall information, like someone complaining about how somthing works. Because, consumers are looking to gather information if you block negative information could consumers somehow find a way to say, you wouldn't allow this information to come out because you go paid advertising dollars from darkfall................lawsuit. Is that the position you are puttng yourself in offically?
Consumers gather information when the product is released (since that is what you buy), anything before that is gravy. Besides there are always other signs if a game/company is shady (anyone else remember (Age of) Mourning?).
Breaching NDA to inform the public a game is crap/great? Seriously its games, not anything that might kill people (or save people for that matter).
And for official stance, moderators have no say, you will have to wait for Craig (CEO) or Ben (CTO) for that.

Use this forum to talk about MMORPGs. Please stay on the topic about MMORPGs and use the "off-topic" forum for unrelated posts.
How many players does an MMO need to be considered a success in today's market?
