In the meantime, Morrison told us that vanity items are in the shop are selling well and creating a positive revenue stream particularly in light of the fact that the things in the shop are vanity, not "play to win"
The game is not play to win? Surely he means pay to win? :)

The 'I won't play because it's not F2P' meme puzzles me. It's not uncommon for me to spend more than that in a single night if I decide to go out to eat. Or see a movie. Certainly I have a right to ensure the service provided is good for the money I spend, but to refuse to play a game simply for that reason just doesn't make sense.
'I won't buy this game because it's Funcom!' All right - if that's your choice... but to me, that's like (using the previous example) saying that I won't buy an iPod, or an iPad because it's made by Apple. Yes, I have no desire for an iPhone, and I don't particularly like Apple's sales methods, but I'm not going to boycott all Apple products - I happen to really like the iPod, for example. Personally I think Funcom learned a LOT from AoC's release - I mean, TSW launched relatively bug-free, and maintained consistent quality in terms of quests across all zones, unlike AoC at launch. Is Funcom ever going to shake the chains of its' past mistakes? Apparently not.
Basing one's opinion on a game based on a Beta that's now what, 3 months old? Sure, some people loved what they saw, and picked it up right away and that's fine - but Funcom's still offering the 3 (5) day trial. Why not take advantage of it and see if anything's changed that might improve your impression of the game?
'I don't like the combat animations' - that's fine, because that's based on personal opinion. Personally, I see nothing wrong with TSW's animations...and besides, after a little while I'm not paying that much attention to the combat animations anyway. No matter how cool or awesome the animation, if I've seen it a bunch of times I'm not going to keep going 'oooh, aaaah' over it.
Character customization - well, that's again based on personal opinion so I don't have much to say there. Personally, I like the approach TSW has, because according to the TSW mythology, we're just regular people who have been given supernatural abilities. The upcoming patch (when it finally gets here) will have additional customization models, and I'm glad to see it coming.
Innovation - okay, this one irks me - it really does. Gamers have been screaming 'we want innovation!' for the past several years. Well, TSW offers innovation! From the skill wheel, to investigation missions, to storytelling, to mood/atmosphere... the list goes on quite a bit. Yet these very qualities are now constantly and consistently derided. Apparently, 'innovation' has become a catch word, but there's less discussion on what innovation actually is, and too much personal opinion on what it isn't. When has F2P become 'innovation'? Or level-based character progression? Or a fantasy-based IP? Yeah, we've got a serious shortage of those. /eyeroll
Is TSW a 'niche game'? Well, it does a number of things very differently from other MMOs. It didn't have an existing IP to fall back on, or a previous game with a large fanbase to draw from. I guess the jury is still out on that.
Whatever Funcom's decisions were (and yeah, their expectations were probably too high), I have been consistently impressed with the game itself. Despite all the bad press from AoC, I was willing to give TSW a shot - and I haven't been disappointed.

The two key problems with TSW has always been:
1. The barrier to entry. Subs made sense in the past, but not given the current state of the MMO market. Subs can't compete with GW2's business model right now.
2. The combat needs to be flashier. The combat system is fine, but it lacks "impact".
The ambiance, stories, etc are very good though. TSW could be a great game, but for a few small, but very impactful problems.
If you don't worry about it, it's not a problem.

Marketing was the problem with TSW, Funcom spent too little on it. Not so much as an ounce of hype, a lot of people I know (myself included) accidently stumbled on it.
If TSW was a truely bad as some people say, then it wouldn't have a fiercely loyal fanbase. It's a good game, the only thing I see really lacking, with any story based mmo, you need some sandbox. That would make the game perfect, at least for me.
I am fine paying a monthly sub, 15 bucks a month, is well worth the entertainment I get from the game. Cash shop, I don't spend money on, I know that most of the clothing in it will eventaully wind up in the game vendors.
I hope it remains sub for at least awhile, the idea of the community going from what it is now, to a WoW-like community, would make me quit. They would start screaming that the game is too hard, and the once challenging aspects of the game would be reduced to facerolling, mindless grinds.

This really is to bad. The Secret World is one of the most amazing games ever made. IT NEEDS more content and more to do along w/ some serious effort devoted to the PvP aspects. If those changes are made and content is added frequently it would be a scary good game.

Funcom has an older game that has done well called Anarchy online, alot of people are pissed because AOC did not live up to the hype I agree I was disppointed , but the some of the game is one of the best I have seen, but sadly still not up to the Hype.
TSW was never hyped because they knew it would NOT draw in the crowds, it was a niche style game like alot of sandboxs they tried something different , sadly gamers TODAY, are spoiled because of WOW, they like there damn hand held way to much, I personally can't stand games like that so I will keep giving Funcom, and indies my money because they try and make different games and I like them , but the issue is today some gamers would rather play a game that has 3 million subs, then agame with 10k, well I would rather play with 10k, because the games with 3 million have horrid communitys. WOW, GW2 has the worst community in the industry.!
Also I see GW2 fanboys saying I would never pay a SUb!! Well guess what time for you guys to find a new hobby if you can't afford it. Just because Anet is gonna give a little to make them selfs look better means nothing because the game is bug ridden and its so linear its a joke, Events, Events and more events thats all it is... I don't get why people can enjoy that, oh I know because they are to cheap to pay for a sub for a great game, TSW has great storys, and puzzles, and I love how I can wield any weapon any time, I want, unlike GW2 I get what 4 or 5 skills, so restricted..
I guess todays gamers like junk games, because older games like games like UO, SWG asheron call .... No hand holding and we talked to other players, GW2, So anti social and Zero story behide it.
Thats my 2 cents, oh and layoffs thats typical in the gaming industry , soon as your contract is up, you move on, layoffs happen after all MMo releases because they do not need that big of a team just to do content updating.......... This article is so false, I talked to them at Pax and they didn't talk like that....

What made TSW fail wasnt it new systems but it terrible combat, pvp and that it basically was a bad themepark MMO. Such a shame. The atmosphere was the greatest I have ever seen in a MMO.

Anyone can act, just be yourself -aTaaka
AoC was a let down for me...I got over it.
AO is one of my favorite "I wonder how things are going there?" games.
TSW ...seriously... someone say something marketable, please. Whining and pissing on FC is a lower level than internet rage.
People, we are talking about a game here not the cure for cancer. It's a GAAAMMMEEE!!!!!
So, having raged a bit, let's discuss what that means to me. A game is something I enjoy doing when I'm not out eating a really nice meal with my girlfriend. A game is something I enjoy when I have completed my work. It is a place I can go when the friends that I see more often have other things they want to do that I don't. I can go play a game whenever I want but I can't always succeed in the things in my life that produce a return much greater than logging into my favorite game.
A game is just a game until I logon.
I want content: Purpose, Meaning, Flow, Challenges, Management, PvP, PvE, LOOT, online Friendships, Goals, Riches, ownership, immersion, a working bowling alley, Randomness,
respect, kindness, peace, MONSTERS, mobs, instances, open worlds, exploration, freedom!!!!!!

Give me sparkly, twinkly...
These are a few things that I was thinking about how TSW would have been a better MMO.
1) Do not make it an MMO. Start out as a single player.
I don't know why studios think they all have this incredible formula for a successful Massively Multiplayer game. Single player still has a huge demand. Make TSW's starting points jump of from the three factions. Just like Dragon Age started off from three races all converging onto similar storylines. Choices made in the game will reflect in the gameworld and the the storyline. Yeah, I do want to be an evil Illuminati.
2) Add in a small party system with recruitable characters.
One of the best features of Skyrim are the companions you can recruite to follow you. Keep it single player content, but let players find and recruit members into a small (3 member) party system. Allow us to customize them and give them a decent AI so we don't have to constantly micromanage them. Party members was also a huge part of what made the Mass Effect series popular too.
3) Allow for single player expansions and content.
Keep the item shop for players who want deeper customization and then you can add some 'pay to win' items in there. We do not get upset on game changing items if we are not using them against human beings. Left to our own devices we will use cheat codes all day.
Secondly, roll out expansions and keep the content fresh. No need for multiplayer yet. Just keep adding to the game that players can use to further their characters and party members.
4) Allow for moddability.
Give people tools to create their own mods like Bethesda did. You would be surprised that people will play your game just to be able to create for it. With the proper tools the sky would have been the limit. In an MMO setting, there is no game customization at all.
5) Ok now, since we have a good following throught the single player model. Release a multiplayer mode.
Giving players the ability to rent space on server and create their own worlds for a fee. Charge a small fee for players to be able to log into said servers and see how this revenue stream builds up.
Is it working so far? Do you have a good amount of revenue and interest from all your single player content rolling around out there Funcom?
Good. Now, make your MMO.
'Nuff said.

They could sell the Age of Conan project to another more healthier and more motivated software house, getting back some of their investments, no need this way with "firing ppl", and trying to focus on The Secret World which I guess was/is/will be their major concern the past/present/future years.
That would be a win/win situation good for FC, good for the players and good for the mmo environment (since TSW is quite different to many mmos out there).
I have played AoC since launch and at the end after 3 years I've just throw my tovel due to the fact that FC has completely abbandoned (except some really nice dungeon additions) the whole game. And their actual game director (Craig Morrison) has NO clue how to improve (sad to say though) their game:
f...k, AoC has one of the best lores, intense Howard writing backround, one of the best s&s atmospheres and Funcom did sooo much just to let this "gift of god" flow away without any remarkable experience.
Ok, at the beginning launch was not that good, that's why after 1 million of boxes sold after some months half of the playerbase left game. But why in hell didn't they even try to focus on the left 500K subs ??? WHY not improve and try to sell better the AoC brand to all the world ??? So many players don't even know that AoC exists (lol). Nooooo, they had to develop TSW, open new headquarters in Canada (due to a cancer called EA) and ofc they needed to be published by EA even if this cancer company already had their "own" mmorpg called SWTOR.
Hell, I am really sad if Funcom in future would focus on facebook mmos (*sigh) or even brands like LEGO etc... (they are more talented than that crap) but this whole financial situation was created by bad bad financial and marketing decisions.
THAT'S why ppl are scared of Funcom because they don't know when this company let a mmo-title fade away illuding the playerbase that they are doing something good with it.
Really Ragnar & Co, give your AoC brand to another company with serious interests, do yourself and us a favor. It would be a win/win for all of us (you included).
Sorry for my "rant", but I love the Conan brand really much, and seeing this great potential for a mmorg lore thrown away like as it was toilet paper makes me as a player//rpg fan/book worm really really sad....

More money is made at launch than from subs these days. MMO's cannot hang on to players, so why spend a lot of time on end game? Make sure everything looks great for launch and you have made a profit. Solo gaming model is now the only model for a MMO, both in gameplay and buisness stratergy.

Seems to me that Funcom actually hasnt learned a thing over the last 10 years...The best thing they could do for AoC is to hand it over to a different company.

So basically, it's already in maintenance mode.
Well, IMO when people are decideing wether or ot to continue to play depends on if there is houseing or a tatoo shop tells me the game is already done fore and people are just trying to hang on for any reason.

I didn't mind the look of TSW or the theme, however, the MMO market is heavily congest atm and the competition has a lot of content out there, nobody wants to wait 2 or 3 years while paying a subscription for the developer to basically be in paid beta mode for the first year plus waiting another year or two to get some decent content.
It was my major issue with Rift as well, was a nice game but doing the same thing over and over is repetitive to the point people don't take paying jobs that repetitive, they are going to be hard pressed to part with their hard earned money to do that.
I believe sandbox of semi-sandbox MMOs are the real future. It doesn't mean you shouldn't create great content, but at what pace can any developer produce content? Nowhere near as fast as people can consume it. Time spent creating tools that allows players to create content tends to give people the ability to fill the gaps between developer created content.
EVE Online is a great example, they get away with almost non-existent content development and their numbers have been strong and growing for many years. People do not notice the lack of developer content as much when there are tools there for players to entertain themselves, especially the most competitive element of players.
The subscription model is dying, if no dead. I don't think many new MMOs can afford to launch with only a subscription model if they want to compete, as the FTP is gaining popularity and people look at a game like GW2 or LOTRO and say why do I need to pay $X per month when I don't for other games.
I didn't get TSW because it was subscription based, not because the monthly fee is too much, but because there are a number of games I am and plan to play and I don't feel the need to subsidise those who crank out 100+ hours playing the game if I can only put a few hours into it here and there.
That is the problem with subscription models, you subsidise heavy users. It is why heavy users dislike FTP because it represents a user-pays system and it will likely be cheaper to fork out $10 or $15 a month via a subscription model than to go with a user-pays model.

"We might have lost people to Guild Wars 2 or other big titles but, by and large, The Secret World is having difficulty getting people to play the game."
70% of my cabal moved to gw2 10% just left, a few left AoC for gw2. releasing an incomplete buggy game with another AAA title just 2 months around is pretty much suicide. id say a minimum of 3-5% comes back to try issue 2. running the same 5 dungeons every day is not endgame content, this cant hold people.
ofc they wont shut it down but instead of 2 games without reasonable maintenance&updates they now run 3.

The Stench of Honolulu by Jack Handey
Call Number: FIC HANDEY
Best known for his Deep Thoughts series and SNL sketches of the same name, humorist Jack Handey has written a laugh-so-hard-you'll-cry first novel, The Stench of Honolulu. The story is about a guy (essentially the narrator of Deep Thoughts) who goes on a free vacation to Hawaii, courtesy of his much berated friend and fellow traveler Don. The two get their hands on an old treasure map and head out on a tropical adventure in search of the Golden Monkey, an ancient relic. They get into one ridiculous situation after the next. Each paragraph within the short chapters of the book seems to stand alone as a perfectly crafted comedic gem so that the humor never dissipates as the narrative builds. If anything can help beat the winter blues, it's the pure comedic delight of Jack Handey's The Stench of Honolulu. ~Justin

Brought up by Communist parents who work as educators, and attend Communist meetings regularly, David follows in his parents' footsteps without question. Believing in the revolution to come that will bring social justice for all, Horowitz is a radical writer/intellectual (Ramparts magazine) who regards the Black Panther Party as rebels fighting their own incendiary way for the betterment of poverty-stricken blacks. He helps the Party fund and set up a school for struggling black children, which is eventually misused by the Party.
Horowitz never questions the beliefs of his parents or his own until a friend of his, who works for the Black Panthers, is killed by members of the Party. The killing is the Panthers' own brand of justice for those who question the behavior of Party members or who are perceived as a threat to it.Horowitz begins to have "second thoughts" about his life and his Communist revolutionary beliefs because of the silence of other radicals about the murder, the criminality of the Black Panther Party, and the failure of Communist run countries throughout the world, among other issues.
Radical Son is an engaging autobiography about the growth and intellectual development of a self-acknowledged irresponsible 60's Communist radical to a respected 21st century conservative thinker.

LONDON (AP) - Prince William is visiting his pregnant wife Kate in a London hospital, where she is spending a second day being treated for acute morning sickness.
William arrived at the King Edward VII private hospital just before noon.
Royal officials announced Monday that Kate is pregnant and suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that can lead to dehydration or worse if left untreated. She is expected to remain hospitalized for several days.
The pregnancy comes after a 2011 decision by the leaders of Britain and 15 Commonwealth nations endorsing new rules that give girls equal status with boys in the order of succession.
Experts caution that laws to enact the change have not yet been passed, which could cause uncertainty if the baby is a girl.

Roller Brushes
The roller brush of your vacuum cleaner sweeps dirt and debris off your floors. The bristles of the brush can be worn down over the period of time. This will prevent the brush from collecting all the dust and grime from the carpets and bare floors. The roller brush can be replaced if they are damaged or the bristles are worn out.
How to increase the life span of a roller brush
•The longetivity of the vacuum brush depends on how well you take care of it. The vacuum must be dusted and cleaned once in a while.
•Unfasten the faceplate over the brush bar and remove the plastic faceplate. Using a pair of scissors cut the threads and hair that are entangled around the brush bar.
•Using a rag wipe the dust and debris from the brush bar.
•Replace the faceplate and tighten the fasteners before using the vacuum.
Roller brushes of all the leading brands are available at GoVacuum.com. This is a place which offers replacements and the equipments at a bargain price. We also offer a world class customer service.

Lt. Col. Richard "Perky" Perkins, who served during both World War II and the Korean War, recounted his service to the United States during a special Veterans Day Program on Nov. 8 at Carroll County Intermediate School. Perkins was the guest speaker for the program, which also included performances by the CCIS chorus and band, as well as recognition of all the veterans present.
Lt. Col. John Carper, senior army instructor for the Junior ROTC program at Carroll County High School, introduced Perkins, who flew "90 fighter bomber missions during World War II and 100 during the Korean War." Carper advised those present to "soak up the wisdom and love of country of a great American" in his introduction.
Although Perkins had always had an interest in flying, it wasn't until he became a student and a member of the Corps of Cadets at Virginia Tech that he got the opportunity. He was accepted into a flying program that was started during his sophomore year, and accrued 100 hours of flight time before being commissioned into the Army Air Corps after graduation in 1942. Following training, Perkins departed for the China-Burma-India theater, where he joined the 23rd FTR Group, a unit that grew out of the Flying Tigers. There, he flew bomber escort missions, fighter sweeps and interdiction missions, slowing the Japanese movement across China.
"In the fall, the Japanese would come out and steal the harvest that the Chinese had grown. So, we'd go out and shoot at the Japanese," said Perkins, who piloted a P-51 Mustang.
While serving in the Far East, Perkins's squad was joined by a pilot from St. Albans, West Va., Perkins' hometown.
"He borrowed my parachute for a mission and got shot down behind enemy lines," recalled Perkins. "Months later he came walking back. When you come out from enemy lines walking, you don't have to fly (combat) again." Later on, Perkins again loaned his parachute to the man, who was flying home. Perkins then heard his plane had been shot down, but it wasn't until "four years later" than Perkins found out his friend had once again survived.
After World War II, Perkins became a flight instruction at Williams Field in Arizona, then four years later was assigned to the 18th Fighter Bomber Wing in Korea. Once again, Perkins played a key role in providing close air support and helping destroy supplies all the way to the Yalu River. Six months later, he was back in the U.S., however, this time his enemy was something entirely different – cancer. Perkins underwent radiation treatments for six weeks, and was later cleared to fly. Perkins taught ROTC at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y., for four years, then served in a staff position before retiring in 1962.
He returned to Virginia Tech in January of 1963, and after completing graduate school, joined the faculty at Wytheville Community College. After teaching business courses, mainly accounting, for 21 years, Perkins retired in 1984.
"I had a great career flying and a great career teaching young people," he said.
The program opened with the presentation of the colors, followed by the CCIS band's performing of the "Star Spangled Banner." The chorus sang two patriotic selections prior to Brock Burnette and Sarah Burnette reading the Voice of Democracy essays. The band then performed two selections before Perkins spoke. Veterans present for the program were then recognized. That was followed by the flag folding ceremony, the bands' performance of "Taps," and the retiring of the colors.

The Vampire Diaries
The Vampire Diaries Spoilers: Klaus Will Get Lucky
Cover your eyes, youngsters! There are racy spoilers below!
Well, only if you have a vivid imagination. Regardless, TV Guide promises Klaus (Joseph Morgan) will finally get some sexual healing on The Vampire Diaries.
Of course, they don't say who gets to see the OV in all his glory, but we really only have one guess — Caroline (Candice Accola).
Don't ask us what will happen between this week's episode — when she's still miffed about the hybrid nearly killing her — and March, when the sexy sex will happen, but we've seen the tweets and comments. Despite Klaus's bad, bad deed, Klaroline shippers still have hope for the blond duo.
Or maybe Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) comes back and she and Klaus have hate sex? She is joining him in New Orleans, after all.
Either way, where does that leave Tyler (Michael Trevino)?

Jamez Rogers, Michele Boykin and Mary Harriet Moore highlight an outstanding group of athletes selected to this season's All-East Cooper basketball teams.
Wando's Rogers leads the boys team as East Cooper's Most Outstanding Player, while Bishop England's Boykin and Moore share co-MOP honors atop the girls team.
Players were selected from the area's four local high schools: Wando, Bishop England, Palmetto Christian and Coastal Christian. After receiving nominations from coaches, the sports staff at Moultrie News decided on eight boys and six girls to receive All-East Cooper honors. On-court performance weighed heavily on the decisions, but leadership, academics, consistency and impact on team success was factored in.
Rogers led the Warriors to a Class 4A Region VII championship as a sophomore this season, averaging 16 points, five rebounds and four steals per game. A long 6-foot-4 forward, he can rise and shoot above defenders, is quick enough to blow past them on his way to the rim, and doesn't mind fighting for rebounds in the post. He's shown a knack for hitting big shots in clutch situations and was named Most Valuable Player of November's Military Magnet Thanksgiving Classic.
In their senior season, Boykin and Moore have become an unstoppable one-two combo for the Lady Bishops on their march toward the playoffs. Boykin is a quick, physical guard who makes her living in opposing team's passing lanes. She leads the Lady Bishops with 18 points and 5.3 steals per game, in addition to four rebounds, four assists, and shoots 62 percent from the floor. Moore controls the post but is athletic enough to run the floor or step out for the jumper. She averages 15 points and eight rebounds per game, along with 2.4 blocks, three steals and two assists.
Wando boys head coach David Eaton and Bishop England girls head coach Paul Runey were selected as this season's Coaches of the Year. Eaton earned his 100th career win this season with a No. 1 upset of Goose Creek. The Warriors spent most of the season ranked in the top five of Class 4A and won 20 games, including seven region wins by an average margin of 26 points on the way toward their third region title in four years.
Runey has once again positioned the Lady Bishops at the top of Class AA basketball. Bishop England has been ranked No. 1 in AA since mid-January. The Lady Bishops won 22-0 games this season and dominated Region VI, winning 14 games by an average of 46 points. Runey is just 14 wins away from joining the exclusive 600-win club.

Hardware: my diva requests
On the off-chance that manufactures are reading, here are my diva requests for hardware-makers from a nightmare drummer:
1) Pearl made gearless snare/cymbal tilters 30 years ago. In this twitter-world, why are there stands with gears still on them? It might be patent laws. Or plain laziness. I have noticed that some manufacturers have gearless stands but only for their heavy ranges, like it is some sort of luxury. I have heard one manufacturer hint that them becoming loose is a problem, but this must be nonsense because the same manufacturer has them on their top lines. Gearless stands as standard, please!
2) Lightweight hardware does not mean rubbish hardware, or for people "on a budget". At last, some are seeing the light. Pearl, take note. Not all drummers have a roadie.
3) Make the throne as a part of your series of stands. Drummers need to sit down. And they don't have to weight a ton, and they all don't have to have the threaded pole design, which I really hate.
4) Tell people how much the stands weigh. It is helpful.
5) Tell people the tube sizes. Some drummers have to mix and match to get want they want!
6) Single braced stands are strong enough for most people. Only Yamaha make them as far as I am aware (apart from the flat ranges), but they are geared stands.
7) Stop using floorplates for pedals as standard - I have never had a problem with a wired base. This might be a case of over-engineering. For example, you cannot even buy a direct drive bass pedal without an annoying floorplate. As I said before, not every drummer has a roadie and they have to carry their stuff up stairs, in lifts, through kitchens, etc.
8) How about using Aluminium to make them ultra-light? For people with money of course. I know Gibraltar have started to do this, all credit to them.
9) Have cases/bags that are not the size of a tent. A sensible choice would be to have a system where drummers can carry everything in 2 bags, and we all know what we carry in them. The normal variance is the number of cymbal stands we have.
10) I think that is enough - oh, apart from that I would a buy a series of stands that are gearless, lightweight, direct drive, wire-based pedals, and including a seat to sit down. This would be good enough for most people, apart from metalheads.
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
I agree with you on all points.
Lightweight single braced gear-less hardware is a wonderful thing.
Most hardware manufacturers offer a set screw lock so gear-less tilters won't slip once set to desired position.
My fav single pedal is a Tama/Camco with a wire frame. I do understand the need for flat pedal bases for doubles though.
I use small hardware bags that are 36" long x15" round.
I wish that someone would make a sturdy lightweight throne with a backrest.
All of my thrones are heavy. A screw height adjuster works well but I do admit that the gas ones are more convenient.
Yes, knowing the tube specs on hardware is a good idea for those who want to mix and match.
I kind of like old drums:)
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
The floorplate is an interesting issue - yes, I can see why one is needed for double pedals and stability for the stompers. Actually, my favourite pedal that I am looking at is the Pearl Eliminator Direct Drive - a fabulous pedal, but it needs the floorplate because of the single post. It comes with a nice bag so it is not a terrible problem.
I think Gibraltar are certainly getting there, and I think I will be able to construct a setup from a lot of their stuff.
But I do love the quality and engineering of Pearl - if I had a roadie, I would use all Pearl stuff!
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
I agree on all of your points except for possibly the pedal floor plate. I have multiple Ghost pedals to which I actually added floor plates. It makes them more stable, easier to install on the drum and they stay together when the rare occasion happens that you have to move the drum with pedal attached (Hey, drummer, can you move your gear a couple of feet so there is room for the ___________).
Drums are the best psychiatry
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
Hear hear! Yes gearless tilters FTW. It would seem like it would be less expensive to manufacture a smooth disc than a geared disc too. So it should be good for them, but there's the re-tooling. I just hope there comes a day where gears are gone from most hardware. Light weight, I second that. Single braced stands....just as stable as double braced stands. Tube size, never considered that. OK. Stand weight? As long as it's as light as they can reasonably get it, then I don't need this. But it can't hurt. Throne? I think most companies make a throne already right? But yea, great demand list. You should start a hardware company. You have all the right ideas that drummers crave. I'd say there's a substantial market for a line of hardware with all those features. Getting the majors to do all this....may never happen.
Sucking all the fun right out of life....
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
Hey Wizard Sticks,
I think you may have just written a sort of Magna Carta for hardware manufacturing!
Three hip hip hoorays for lightweight, quality hardware!
"Uh uh uh uuuuuuuuuuh..." - Art Blakey (as heard on numerous recordings)
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
I am having a little dig at Ludwig, because their classic throne weighs a ton and doesn't exactly match the rest of the set in terms of need haha. And I don't like Ludwig because they stopped making Speed Kings (wire base, direct drive classic!). I am not sure why, it was only one of the best pedals ever. Nothing important!!
I have to admit their classic booms stands are pretty impressive - lightweight(ish) and they have them 360 degree tilter things. Very nice.
But it baffles me with Yamaha - for their 700 series, the snare is gearless, but the cymbal stands are not. Why not use the same design? Baffling. And for the gibraltar flats, the cymbal stands are gearless, but the snare stand is not. Very strange!
I think I will use a hotch-potch combination of all sorts.
Yeah, I think the floor-plate is a good point. I love the smoothness of the Pearl direct drive, but I would love to have a Pepsi challenge with a wire-base version just to see!

Re: Hardware: my diva requests
But I think Gibraltar and Ludwig are certainly getting there - market forces are making them change at last. I have read that Ludwig have been sleep-walking in terms of hardware until the Atlas Classic range, and it is quite nice. A lightweight throne, and direct drive pedal options, and they could rule. In fact they could just make the classic hi-hat a direct drive pedal (surely a metalhead will not be using an item like this!) and a choice between a direct drive or belt drive bass pedal.
Chains and lightweight stands don't mix. :)
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
BTW, we metalheads also use light weight gear if we want, and my hi hat stand is direct drive, not chain.
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
Yes, I know some heavier stands have direct drives. So what is the point of the chain? Is it more robust? Who knows lol
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
Re: Hardware: my diva requests
My hi hat stand is light weight and old. I'm not even sure what brand it is. Yeah I never understood the chain either.

Fans start lining up on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles late Friday night. By noon the next day, hundreds had arrived. Not only would they get to meet Clive Barker and Todd McFarlane, but they would also walk away with signed Tortured Souls 2 figures created by the kings of horror.
Several members of the spawn.com message board community came out to support the event, particularly Zerocool, who camped on the streets of West Hollywood for the honor of being first in line.
The signing was held at Meltdown Comics. In addition to comics, the store also carries an extensive catalog of action figures, posters and all else pop culture related. The store's clientele is a who's who of Hollywood, including Clive.
Momentum built up by Todd's flight from Phoenix to LA being delayed. On his arrival at Meltdown, the frenzy began with media interviews and paparazzi photo sessions. Also on hand was Hans Rodionoff, the writer tapped to pen the upcoming Tortured Souls feature film for Universal Pictures.
Once the signing started, Todd and Clive delivered the goods to the crowd, signing everything that was put on the table in front of them from TS2 figures to posters, Spawn guitar, novels and comics. Both commented later that they greatly enjoyed talking with everyone that came through the line.
After four hours, and another missed flight, (Todd stayed late so that no one went home empty handed) all autographs had been collected and pictures taken, Harrison Ford had been sighted, one lucky fan received a job offer, the real Suffering Bob made an appearance and the doors finally closed.
If you missed the action, fret not: We've got pictures plus look for coverage of the event and interviews with Todd and Clive on FmiTV.com and Livin' Large, a national syndicated show, slated to run February 2003. Fangoria, Cinefantastique, Rue Morgue and Cinescape magazines will all be featuring photos of the event in upcoming issues.
