BS , Many GCM players have offered ,even begged to be able to test MP . We have 8-20 players on every night that would love nothing more then a perfectly tested MP experience.
Still waiting for those 8-20 players to step forward. I'm sure they're away for the holidays or have contacted Norb privately.

I think Stu's referring to the fact we GCM players often asked for NSD members to come play with us so we could show them first hand the problems we were having. However, since Norb made the first MP patch and the subsequent patches, MP has gotten very stable. We now rarely have the hard crashes which plagued us for so very long -- years really.
In the beginning, well before the GCM existed, and then well into the GCM era, 70 to 90 percent of our games crashed. But we kept trying. And now I think I can speak for most of the GCM community when I say that we very, very much appreciate the improvements in MP reliability NSD has made over the last year or so.
You, B2C, really should come join us for a few games, as should everyone who plays this game. 16-20 player GCM battles are a spectacle which can only be appreciated by participating. And Garnier has done a fine job of modding the parameters and whatnot so that really gamey tactics are near obsolete.
No doubt we've had our struggles in the GCM, but we've constantly evolved (or at least Garnier has) the game so that right now games are better than they've ever been. Big, tough, competitive battles that are a blast.
I mean. . . just look at how cool this battle must have been:
