How utterly important. Nothing holds the merit of a game like a typo. This is such an awesome, well thought out thread. If they can't spell every word correctly, the game must be moving backwards. Amirite? Eyemriterite?

 

You're absolutely right... the game has to be moving backwards. A typo in an advertisement is beyond inexcusable. These things get checked and re-checked and normally have to be proofed and signed-off on by whoever is in charge.

Because when it comes to mass-communication of any kind, close enough is definitely not good enough, especially when you're trying to sell something.

They haven't just dropped the ball - they've kicked it out onto the road into oncoming traffic.

 

Welcome to TR, the stonehands of MMO development. Dropping the ball is actually one of the courses they hold. Along with how to add things no one asked for and how to delay important content until your subscriber base has less people than a Florida Marlins baseball game. I can reach more people yelling out a window at my house than TR does daily.

Seriously, it's not like they are proofreading a novel or something. It's one sentence FFS. How many people did it have to get approval from before it went live?

Yeah, proof-reading a novel would require actual effort. Proof-reading that ad (with a whole 23 words) just required the attention span of a four-year old. It's one sentence FFS.

Any ad would require the signed approval of someone in a relatively senior position. And an ad with that little text making it all the way to their desk with a typo on it would see whoever was responsible spanked.

The typo actually making it off that person's desk and out into the world... that kind of stuff can be grounds for demotion or dismissal. There are some professions in which accuracy is non-negotiable. This is one of them.

They finally fixed it. Took em 2 days....

Are we reduced to criticizing TR for typos in ads now?

Are we truly so bored as to bash a dead game's final plea for attention?

That's low... even for us.

The game isn't bad.  Sci-fi isn't my thing thats why I don't continue my subscription. 

Anyways, Tabula Rasa is on sell at my local fry's electronics store for.... a whopping $4.99.

Before that, it was on sell for $9.99.

They are probably trying to make room for War's release. 

This game seems as though it is following in the footsteps of planetside: Good idea, good mechanics, but not a break out success.
