You sure you not talking about SWTOR?

ea never claimed swtor would be that, annet did claim so much and so many times, and  bragged about dynamic content which there is zero.. everything is predefined and nothing is dynamic at all.. so yeh..

good one

hehe... You walk away from the computer bruised and wounded, dripping blood and limping.

"Whoah, what a rush"  :-)

"We value your feedback."

"We have people working on (insert issue here) right now and will be releasing a fix shortly."

(6 months after previous statement) "This ability / spell / dungeon mechanic is working as intended."

"PvP balance is important to us."

"PvP balance changes won't affect PvE in any way."

"We are aware of the botting issue, and are taking aggressive actions to combat it."

"You will take part in a living, dynamic world which changes depending upon your actions!"

Still funny though.

25 of those seconds were to type the reply.

+1 for critical analysis.

That's actually true of nearly all games.  The problem is that it's "Made by Gamers whose game preferences aren't at all similar to yours, for Gamers whose game preferences match those of the game designers and not you".

Not an egragious lie, but one of my favorites because it was so ridiculous that no one could possibly believe it, yet a large portion of their fanbase actually believed it:

"we arent consolidating servers, we are just preparing trial shards for an upcoming promotion"

Not anymore.

Now it is: "Made for Gamers by Accountants/MBAs".

So accountants and MBA aren't gamers?

LOLWUT?

I know plenty of people that are considered 'elite' (doctors, lawyers, researchers etc) that are gamers.

"We arent in Azeroth anymore"

Technically, it is not a lie, but I do consider Rift quite close to WoW...

Gamers like paychecks too, you know.  There are inevitably some compromises in the business model that have to be made if you want to get paid.  That doesn't mean they're not trying to make the game as fun as they can.  Succeeding is a different matter, but they're always trying to make the game fun.

Release is expected for next week.

Beta is expected for next week.

Open Beta is expected for next week.

How many times have I heard that one.....

At release yeah, it was close, but now... Telara sure does not feel like Azeroth anymore. It just took a while I guess heh.
