Letter to the Developers

Hello Cookies!






I have written a letter that I plan on emailing to
the Fat
Princess developers and publishers and posting on the official forum
August 1,
just less than two weeks from now.
The letter, as you can see, is asking for the crashes to be
addressed. If you would like to sign this letter
please let me know in this thread or through a personal message. I will update the list of those signing
periodically. My goal is to get
200 signatures. I think this is
the most effective way to let the developers know how crucial these
crashes are
to the survival of this community.
If you agree with the contents of the letter and agree to sign
(with
your PSN ID) please let me know.
If you are inspired to encourage your friends also to sign, then
great! We can make change happen!

Dear Fat Princess Developers and Publishers,





We are writing to you, on behalf of many in the Fat
Princess
community, to ask you to state your intentions to fix the Fat Princess
crashes. It is not an exaggeration
that these crashes are threatening to destroy this community. Though the newest downloadable content
has brought, and likely will bring, more people to this game, we do not
think
that the popularity of Fat Princess can be sustained with the level of
technical problems it is now producing.






While the destruction of hard earned stats
infuriates many,
the true heart of the Fat Princess community, the game itself, is also
being
destroyed by the crashes. The
casual fun of an impromptu game is immediately dampened by a frozen
screen or
by the sudden exit of half of the gamers.
Public games that have become intense, competitive, and
cooperative
become meaningless frustration when a crash epidemic hits.






The crashes are also threatening the more organized
community
that has burgeoned in Titania.
Organized non-clan matches, like Adults versus Teens or West
Coast
versus East Coast or Pirates versus Ninjas, are supported and sustained
by
players who want to enjoy the game for what it is, an opportunity for
fun and
meaningful entertainment with one’s online friends. In
these matches there is always the real and potential risk
that after much work organizing, practicing, and finally executing the
matches
they will be destroyed by major technical difficulties.





Finally, the crashes are threatening the networks
of Fat
Princess clans. Not only is each
clan struggling with individual members quitting out of frustration with
the
technical problems, but also the very structure of what binds clans
together is
being threatened. Practices,
scrimmages, and matches cannot be sustained with constant crashes. The crashes deflate singular events and
create general frustrations that add to the already delicate potential
for good
community that makes the foundation for every clan.





The community would appreciate open and direct
communication
on this issue. We understand these
problems are difficult both technologically and potentially
bureaucratically. We need to know, however, your
intentions for addressing these issues.
If you were not previously aware of the crashing issues thenwe hope you now are and that you will be
motivated
to address these problems.





For the sake of the current community and for the
hope for future
growth, we ask you to please resolve the technical issues that are
destroying
this game.





Sincerely,

Great letter! Hope it hits em hard and new patch will come soon!

Would you like to sign it, Enders-War?

You can put me on it socks, but I don't think it's really going to change much, as far as I know, they've already tried to solve the problem, it's a problem with Sony, not with FP. Maybe the letter should be sent to Sony as well.

Thanks Italian! The letter will definitely be sent to Sony as well. In fact the letter, more than anything, is actually meant to be directed at Sony. I do believe Ao is doing everything in their power to fix these problems. Likely, the biggest problem is exactly the power. Either the problems are at least partially with Sony and so Ao is stalled or the money, the publishers, are not wanting them to work on it. Either way, hopefully this letter will show anyone with any ability to make change, that the future of the game is at risk.

Yeah... i would like to sign it...
