Goodbye, "Majestic"

I got hooked on this from the very start, and in turn got a bunch of friends into it. It's cool to be out for a fancy dinner and have the game calling you threatening your life. Oh well, I'm sure a new spinoff will rise up."
You didn't play Majestic. That's a shame, because if you had you'd know that there's this nice little checkbox you can click on the user configuration page. I forget the exact text, but it basically says "Click this if you want us to put 'This message is from Majestic the game' on the end of every phone call/IM/email/fax."
/. never admit they're uninformed - but it would be better still if you'd actually look at their web page before condemning the game as yet another sign of the Collapse of Western Civilization and Our Moral Decay.

The game was immersive and cool, but there was always a very clear border between the game world and reality for those who wanted it.

Unfortunately, you missed out on the later chapers, #'s 3 and 4 then. They took the feedback from the first two chapters, and improved on it. There's a noticable difference in the game by the end of Chapter 4. I was getting calls about once or twice a day for most of a chapter, was on Act more than Standby, and some of the points were around twelve to thirteen posts on the Progress screen. It really did pick up near the end, unfortunately, most people didn't stick on to see what would happen.
