EDIT : Some of you seem to think I wrought it. Not so, just found it. Wrought - a simple past tense and past participle of work generally meaning to craft, create, forge.

ToliverGrey Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Started to read it, but when I hit bad grammar in paragraph one and a misspelled word in paragraph two, I stopped taking it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanikSpreder Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 In-game I see a different story where people actually play it and have fun. But people fixed on hating a game will continue so - and hoping for it to sink so they can yell "told you so" instead of just moving along and play what they think is worth their time.

Skoobie Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Why did they ignore the fact that the very next day those stocks (mentioned in the first sentence) bounced back up? Edited January 29, 2012 by Skoobie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanshan Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Honestly you can point out the bad on anything in the world and make it seem terrible. It seems most reviews that say the game is going to fail skip over the good factors of the game and only focus on the 3-5 bad things.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrosnwbrdr Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Page 2 was so the cake for me. I love opinion based articles trying to come off as fact. While this guy is at it he should compare WoW skills with skills from EQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zsaroth Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 yea i stopped reading when they said 4chan was calling it a bad game.... so a wow biased group is calling a competitors game bad? really? wonder how big the writers salary is from blizz. not saying the game doesnt need work, but its only in its second month...

marshalleck Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Kind of a poorly researched article. Greg Zeschuk is one of the founders of Bioware, not Mythic. He didn't have anything to do with Warhammer Online. The author even linked a bio which he apparently didn't bother to read or couldn't comprehend--Bioware is working on 'Wrath of Heroes' a F2P "arena" sort of game based on Warhammer Online, and that is what Mr. Zeschuck is affiliated with...not the Warhammer Online MMO.

Mannoth Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) I can also start a blog, have it displayed on technorati, and type an equally gushing review for the game. This means nothing Since when did blog posts become 'hit pieces' or 'hard truth'? Nobody has ever heard of this person. They are a nobody. Their opinion carries as much weight as the average poster on these forums. So, did this post have a point, or were just trying to drum up hits to your blog? This might as well have been posted as a wall of text here directly. Edited January 29, 2012 by Mannoth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you begin the long climb towards building your subscribership. Unfortunately, the internet is fairly brutal to bad blogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nangasaur Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Did he really use the word, "piracy" in talking about a subscription-based MMO, which requires a valid CD key before you can even create an account? A CD that only comes with a purchased box and their account-creation server knows what are valid keys and what would be invalid? Really? Is this guy for real, or what?

Recamier Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I had to stop after I read "It can't be denied that Star Wars: The Old Republic sold well. Estimates are ranging from between 1 million to 1.5 million sales. However these don't account fully for piracy." How exactly does one pirate an MMO with a monthly subscription fee?

Achromatis Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 "However these don't account fully for piracy." LOL what an idiot. I mean look Ive got no problem with someone trying to be a journalist, even if its extremely bias, but at least know what youre talking about.
