When they are in favor they do your product good. When they are not... Mark has hit the spin-doctor label in my book so anything he has to saw is filtered thru that glass.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, for people who pre-ordered this game and paid for a couple of months this resub to get 10 days is a slap in the face.<BR/><BR/>If you've really improved the game then stack some no-strings attached time to it like EQ2 does. They've gotten me back twice with that tact AND I re-sub at least 2 to 4 months beyond the free 'welcome back' offer.<BR/><BR/>Mythic gets no points for me on this one other than, way to make a free-trail confusing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-45831228733678459512009-03-13T13:14:00.000-04:002009-03-13T13:14:00.000-04:00I'm with you - can't stand Mark Jacobs.

For one, the RvR lakes that you can quest in while levelling were awesome. You mean...it's a PvP zone? How did WoW not have this all along? <BR/><BR/>I would have liked more of those, actually; I love world PvP, but a lot of folks don't like being attackable at all times, so designating some areas (rather than a personal "flag") for PvP was a brilliant move.<BR/><BR/>Fedaykin98Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-58605731157981184762009-03-13T10:07:00.000-04:002009-03-13T10:07:00.000-04:00I will give them credit for coming up with a cleve...I will give them credit for coming up with a clever email, it isn't the standard generic one.<BR/><BR/>But interesting that you actually have to resubscribe to get the 10 free days, so I don't really classify that as a "free trial."<BR/>I think it would probably take more than 10 days for me to decide if this game were worth it again.<BR/><BR/>My characters are probably on a different server, I'd have to find a new guild, etc etc. Plus I'm already playing WoW several days a week.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664144020646066122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826986957606858027.post-91740937795739273782009-03-13T09:30:00.000-04:002009-03-13T09:30:00.000-04:00I hope other games take a careful look at that res...I hope other games take a careful look at that resubsciption offer email. I actively enjoyed the time spent reading it, even if it was obvious that it took friends randomly from my guild that I don't remember. The guild I joined was named "The Underpants Gnomes," so the email told me to "rise now, and bear the standard of The Underpants Gnomes to the very heart of The Inevitable City! To arms, and to glory!" That one still makes me giggle.<BR/><BR/>I can't imagine it took all that much work to code up this email, and while it's not personalized (even though it tries to be), it's one of the best emails I've ever gotten from an MMO company. Points for that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
