After reading the many threads surrounding the impending release of MTW and the issues that may arise from multiplayer being supported at Gamespy, it would appear that we (as a community) have a significant challenge ahead of us. With multiple Nicknames without a reference point and a loose control of Clans/Orgs etc., we are really presented with only one option. We must, as a community, blanket the multiplayer environment with a strong presence, which exudes actions of integrity and honor. Our actions must dictate an unspoken honor code and thereby setting an example that those new to the community will either want to be part of or at least respect. When I first began playing back in Dec 2000, it was the examples of Gamesmanship and cordial attitude, which I saw on the STW server, by many of those still playing, that compelled me to join a clan, play the game with a sense of honor, help the new people, etc..
Of course this won't compel all, due to human nature, but the majority I feel will want to follow suit and be a part of this thriving community, rather than act in its detriment.
Let's be there, have fun, and lead by example...
It may be our only hope to preserve what we have spent so much time building.
Just my thoughts...
