This is after discord muted IRC for 1 hour after players called for his removal.
What do you guys think?

My feelings are pretty well known.
-Discord has no buisness being anywhere near an official position in any game whatsoever. He is about as corrupt as they come . Fits in great with the rest of SV.
What do I think? Pretty much everyone at SV needs to be removed., ultimately its Henriks fault.
Tomorrows News @ 1100
Discord is stepping down as GM due to personal reasons, but please welcome our newest GM drocsiD !!!
I should have known my humor would be lost on MO forum dwellers
Actually I don't dwell MO (didn't get the news), that's why I didn't know and geninuely just wanted an update
OMG it was a joke. drocsiD (hint spell it backwards)
Discord isn't the issue. Henrik is the issue. The guy at the top is responsible for everything (especially when he is only managing 4 other people lol).
New CEO with grand vision is the only thing that will save the game. Vote Psychobilly for CEO.
I have to 100% agree with this. henrick should have been removed long, long ago.
Corporate culture starts and ends at the top.
Seriously, I'm not even a MO scholar, but from what I've heard of Henrick, do you think he'd get a paid job as a developer/programmer anywhere other than his own/father's company?
C'mon, give the guy a break. Someone's gotta pay the bar bill.
I vote for it!
i think the devs are to reliant on discord since he does more than just GM that it would cripple them if he left in other ways thats how he has held on to his job for so long.
But he has imo made alot of mistakes that have had a noticable effect on the player population.
as for those hoping MO disapears soon, might be bad news there. henrik, mats and sebastion it seems will be working on MO in their free time if the day comes when SV has to shut its doors meaning MO will msot likely survive in some form. No offical post on this yet but it seems to be the general understanding of the players close to the developers.
rumor is mats has already left the team but is still working on the game in his free time.
there are 2 types of mmo, imitators and innovaters.
You're delusional if you think they're working on MO "full-time" now. (or ever)
lol your probably right, im just warning you guys dont expect mo to disapear any time soon.

To Psychobilly :
I really hope that the obsession you have to be CEO in SV is just an attempt to make humour cause tbh reading it in one every two posts you make doesnt make me laugh anymore. Dont get me wrong i mostly agree with your points and i like your toxic approach to SV and the mess they keep on doing but calling peoples vote to be a CEO instead of the CEO its not even funny anymore and its really sad if you think that theres even a chance in a million for something like that to happen.
Its a vanity project, Henrik will keep the server up until he has to spend his OWN money. So what ever happened to all the publishers/studios that wanted a piece of MO?
Discord is a piece of shit. I played Mortal Online for approximately 10 months, begining in the beta. I have had nothing but negative encounters with him and other GM staff for that matter. I'll admit, I used radar hacks in Mortal Online (this also revealed invisible clients). On more then one occassion I observed invisible GMs griefing players by killing their mounts, and killing them.
The concept of MO isn't a new one, it's just a shitty 3D version of what Ultima Online could have been. That doesn't mean that I didn't have high hopes for the title though.

Well now I'm gunna put it in every post for sure.
Awesome!
I sincerely doubt that since Henrik has never done anything programming in his life. And whatever he touches will rot, so, uh, no. MO going bankrupt is a sign that Henrik's dad doesn't share his son's learning disability.
If you have to explain it, then it is not funny.

I am a SW developer and I can tell you that gaming development is hard, very hard and MMO development is even harder. So I am sure whoever coded MO can programm but that does not mean you can properly code a commercial MMO.
MO, from what I have experienced, seems to be developed by people who have little gaming development and then obviously you will get the results which are quite disastrous. I think the team simply underestimated the huge effort it takes to create an MMO.
My gaming blog
I am pretty sure that the main programmer was only a modder/scripter back when project started.
I am a SW developer and I don't see why you'd need a software developer to figure out that Henrik is not a programmer. You just look at what he says he does (nothing) and that's it.
I, too, am working on a commercial mmo project in my spare time. The result will be (and is as of now) of higher quality than MO because I'm not a coked up megalomaniac completely losing the general view on my own abilities. The things that work work and I'm not burning 300k per quarter.
And now ask me if I'd hire a leisure time modder to work with me on it, then I'd say ...no. Because nobody with a minimum knowledge of programming OR a sense of business OR simple common sense would pay money for a complete novice.
Infact I wouldn't let SV anywhere near my project even if they worked for free. Because they're losers.
Weirdly enough though, some individuals over there almost seem to enjoy being treated like SV's lil' bitches over and over again. It's like the gf of a psychopath: no matter how bad he treats her, she still stays with him because he knows how to sweet talk her between the beatings and humiliations.
Meanwhile, sane people around her keep scratching their heads, wondering why she doesn't leave him once and for all.
Not everyone is created equal.
