Thanks to everyone who came! The #savemwo Town Hall was a success beyond our wildest dreams. It was great to see everyone logging on to speak up, and everyone agreed on far more points than we disagreed. We had around 30 community leaders present representing competitive, casual, and league players. Rough estimates for numbers of those being represented places numbers at anywhere from 5000-8500, and at peak we had 300 players in attendance listening in mumble and chatting in the jabber #saveMWO channel. What's more, our statement to PGI is already in Garth Erlam's hands, and has been forwarded to the developers for consideration.

For anyone who wasn't there, we archived it for you, to listen or relisten at your convenience.

• A concise list of highlights - These were the main concerns voiced by nearly all of the groups. I'm surprised at the unanimity, from casual groups to competitive, large to small, straight-laced to...uh...KONG.
• A complete audio stream - Sit tight, this is all three hours, courtesy of Allen Wren of VCRS. He recommends a comfortable chair and a lot of liquor. There's are raw duplicates in Vercinix's Twitch.tv archive, as well as a version with Peefsmash's color commentary / alcoholism intervention in his Twitch.tv archive.
• An edited highlights stream - Allen Wren is still working on this. Bookmark this reddit page, the VCRS archive, or our official forums thread for a link when it's ready.
• Our statement to PGI, and the list of signatories - Feel free to sign this if you agree with the broad points. If you are a community leader who would like your unit, community project, or other group represented on the letter, let me know (in an e-mail to my reddit name @gmail.com or just in a reddit PM) or Stalkerr (in an official forums PM) know. Understand that this is an executive summary of the points made in the meeting. While in-depth analysis is appreciated, there's a limit on the degree of detail you can cram into a one-page letter.
• Our new official forums thread, as well as our original thread, now in K-town. Special thanks to Niko Snow and the moderators of the official forums for putting up with what I know was a moderation nightmare until after the event.

What now? For now, we want to keep this conversation going, and we're going to hold this again, sometime in the near future. For next time, we're going to borrow a setup that Goonfleet of EVE uses to broadcast special events, which will allow people to listen in without needing to deal with all the headaches of installing and shuffling into Mumble. We're also going to take a different approach to get questions from textchat into the discussion, something we couldn't effectively manage this time.

Anyone who came and would like to come in the future, or couldn't come and would like to come in the future, is welcome to contact me (again, in an e-mail to my reddit name @gmail.com or just in a reddit PM) or Stalkerr (in an official forums PM. In particular, I'm a little unhappy we couldn't get more groups who were more or less happy or just ambivalent about the way the game is going, for contrast. I'm also unhappy that we couldn't get anyone who represented just themselves involved, both for logistical reasons and because of how we solicited speakers. Do you have something to say for next time, good or bad? We want to hear it.

To keep the conversation going in the meantime, we've also set up savemwo on Jabber, for open and anonymous chat. You're welcome to come shoot the shit about MWO, however you feel it's going at the moment. There's no good general chat for MWO, so we wanted to step up and offer some of our extra infrastructure capacity to everyone.

By the way? Yes, this is the last thread about this until next town hall. I'm aware of and sensitive to the complaints about the spam, and I appreciate the patience of the r/mwo mods.
