Well we have told you it's a fresh start since the return of all the publishing rights from IGP and were really just 1 week into that process now. Between the town hall, CW post and follow up post, increased forum activity, and the potential to work with the community on some design feedback starting with ECM. I think were off to a good start and I hope you do to.



Part of a fresh start is to give others a second chance as well. I have been mulling this over all weekend and have come up with a process I would like to try.



I had a new email created called: feedback@piranhagames.com



STOP! please don't do it. Don't start spamming that address with every thought. If this address gets bombarded with every design idea and thought players have in an uncontrolled fashion it will severely impact my ability to use the email account for meaningful initiatives.



I will be using this address to help with the growing player initiative to provide feedback and design input around ECM.



But in this thread I want to discuss how past players who have been banned may email me directly, discuss their situation with me and request their ban be removed. I felt this was the best approach as I didn't want to just blanket unban everyone and then have people present that really didn't want to participate and help in this new era.



Again I am not doing this with any interest at all in raising the toxicity of the forums but to possibly invite players back that want to get involved in helping MWO continue to evolve and grow. Although the players coming back will be given a full new opportunity, I wouldn't describe it as a complete new slate, if they immediately turn to negativity without trying to be constructive there return will be short.



So if you see someone back on the forums after a long break, just welcome them back and enjoy discussing the upcoming features such as CW.



I believe the email address is active right now - for now I should only be getting emails from those players that would like to request return.
