What happen to journalism ? How can anyone take these sites serious if they report stuff like this ? They don't even bother to try to get a real confirmed source of the info just an anon post by someone.
Why should EQ be different, it's
about fake news if necessary, to generate social change/$$/revenge that's sought. The industry always hated Everquest for it's success and never understood it's ability to generate & hold the player base.
They'd prefer we were finicky and could be trained/learn to jump to the 'soon to be released' or 'next great game' reviewed. It's taken 20 yrs, but now they understand, err/accept the power of the 'hold' EQ has on it's players,
must first be destroyed to get our attention. They can't make $$ if they can't deliver players/interest.
That has become our swamp the reporters/gaming sites. With little to no ethics about what's truth, or faked for effect (including even rumor/lies). Delivered is paid.
Media is media, even more
crooked then a 'free to play' game concept or the sick NWO socialists. If they can redistribute our $$ they win, again. The real losers will be those they dupe into following where led.
I prefer not to be snickered at, but instead praised for my loyalty.
