Okay, template is written, feel free to change or add something as you want, just keep in mind, that it's community letter. Add, suggest, fix grammar, and keep thread alive. Gonna spam their emails soon :)

Hello Worner Brothers, Netherrealm Studios, Other Ocean Interactive.

This is open letter from your PC community adressed directly to you, and developers, who made such a great effort, to port a game to PC.
However, we're typing these lines for you, because your port could be even better, with more profit, if it would be supported. Many bugs didnt fixed, matchmaking didnt polished, and lags are terrible. We payed our money, to show you, that there's actually big fighting community on PC, who would like to buy good and finished product, and we're asking, to have at least some official word.

Here's official steam forums http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=1332, many topics has been made, many solution has been found, latest patch did nothing, but killed the multiplayer for someone. Many people raged, by no support. They've payed they money, they wanted to get fun, but they only got issues, which is you, WB, dont want to solve. That's not right.

We have a big community list, what should be made, what should be fixed, and requests. We're 100% sure, that if you support your own product, you will get much more profit. And respect. They're also some people who wanted to see MK9 on a PC, and, trust us, we can see it could happen. Many players are ready, to play it, petitions, tweets to ed boon, and many-many discussion on a web forums. I've just asked some guys, are they happy with this release, and they dont. The list is big : No resoluion change option, bad matchmaking system, not smooth online expirience, no sound sometimes. They're cant accept it, that they've bought something, that was dead from first day of a release.

I remeber that first day of release, MK, good old game, my controller, and I've played it. It was nice, and I've had big nostalgy for me. But after 2 days of release, there was hackers at the top of leaderboards with unreal highscore. And you did nothing. It's a pity, that a big company like you, dont even care about their customers. You reputation lowered in our eyes. Please, stop them. Clear their scores, impelement anti-cheat system, or some kind of background process killer. Because right now its impossible to enjoy the game. Hackers are everywhere. They're running some kind of background process, that slows down the game, make it unplayable to play.

Number two is quiters, they're just ruining the expirience, when they're losing, they just can close game from taskmanager and bang, game freezed, but his score is same as before. Make something, so game can "detect", that kind of thing.

Number three, talk to community. The more you talk with us, they more love you get. I have many people, which are would like to play MK, but they just think that it's stupid to pay price for dead product.

Number four, advert your PC game a little bit more, of course community is spreading the world, but we're all know that when you drop off the price at steam, game is definetly gonna be bought by many people, thats a good thing to attract many attention of players, you will get your nice profit!

Number five, community requests, it would be nice to see mk 2vs2 combat online, would help to keep us active.

We're trying everything, to help community, be active on forums, talk to newcomers, just to show you, devs, we're interested in PC fighting scene, and would like to accept any product, if it's supporting, they're many guys, who's tired of all that FPS games, we dont really need to buy a console for fighting, because as you know many old MK's was ported in 90s to PC, without problems, and many played it. Obviously, you gain profit from PC players.

Please, hear our voice, fix problems, fix delays, fix resolution, fix something at least, speak with us. Tell us something, we're would like to hear any word.

My main problem at the moment are some of the bugs and quitters/laggers. If they could or wanted to add 2v2 support they would have done it already. You will need at least 1000 people to send that email and I bet this thread will take a few months to even get 1000 views, so I have no idea how 1000 unique individuals would see it and be bothered to send it.

I still think a petition is the best way to go, then you can go to all the classic MK sites and post a link. That way you get more coverage and all participants have to do is click a link and enter a few details. That way WB will see one email showing the petition with 1000+ votes. With your email, they might not see the same email very often, occasionally someone will send it, but it will not make an impact. I reckon you keep the email and use it when you send the petition to them. Of course still get people to send it if you want to, but it won't make one big impact like a big petition would.

Good luck with the mission! :)

Arashenstein, there is no 4v4 mode, what are you talking about? There is an 8 player mode, which is only 2 players picking 4 fighters each, then each fight is only one character versus another character, tournament style. Making that playable online is pointless, since the same thing can be done in the standard fights, except without the brackets graphics. This is an arcade port and they cannot add anything that wasn't in the original release.
Resetting the rank will not change anything, those quitters/lagger will still keep playing and doing the same thing, except all the honest players will also have their rank reset and will be very angry about it. Some will see whos idea it was and they will all blame you, rather than the cheats. I have fought most of the top players and I know who are the cheats and who are for real. I don't need the rank to reset in order to see who I need to beat. This game has never been about rankings, it is about having fun and competing with fellow players.

skateblind, cheers for support. I will make a petition too, but can you please give me links to old mk sites, where I could spread the word about petition/letter?

I will also change a letter a little bit and upload an updated variant.
