Well Chad, aka Mister Prez, it's a pleasure to finally meet the "Man". 1st Off I'd like to thank you, your staff and every single "little guy" in your organization for one of THE finest online game experiences in the world!!!
I'd like to address your statements in the Update, and add a couple of comments because I feel that I'm a typical .WGT member, and in my chat sessions with other players( which btw really adds to the totality of the game) we have discussed at length what is happening as the game evolves.
It's wonderful news to hear that we will soon get the new stroke play courses. We thirst for those, as repetitive play with few alternatives can get very frustrating.Your graphics and the ability to make this game superior to any PS3 golf game are 1 of the reasons for many thousands of players.
Concerning your recent alliance with TruGolf : I noticed the 100c tab and at 1st was a bit disgusted, but having spent a fair amount of dough on balls, clubs, attire etc, I figured for the price of a sleeve of balls it might be fun, and naturally I was ready for a new challenge.
It was a good experience, The fairways and greens were of my accustomed WGT quality, but the cactus and desert surroundings were mere caricatures compared to your most excellent graphics. Perhaps your team might entice TG to step up.
And lastly, WE ( I believe I speak for a majority here) understand that WGT is a for profit venture. No one can create what you have without considerable expense. Yes the pop-up adds were annoying, the noisy ones can go away, but in my constant play I understand the need and thusly accept them for a momentary distraction.
I love the fact that a person can sign up and play for free forever, but as most of us try very hard to get better and gain a little ground, we will and DO spend the money to achieve a little equality with ourselves( spelled toughest critic). I feel that a lot of us support your sponsers, because they're heavy hitters and have a multitude of products.
In Closing, I love/hate this game, I love to play, I hate the incredible differences caused by meter glitches, totally expected, but always happening just as my finger tries to push the mouse thru my desk..I know it's the #1 issue, I fervently pray for a remedy.I will continue my support, comunally, and monatarily, but PLEASE, keep it on the cheap as some of us are fixed-income, retired, shut-in, and in general regular folks.
Thanks for your time Chad( and crew), and keep the Dream real !!!
