Lol this is like the worst (worst as in lame 4/1 joke) 4/1 joke ever! man i wonder how many fanboys were already saying no cant happen according to rulebook 10 law 97 of the blah blah. lol and to think how my of them wet there pants when they read this rofl.

WoW sould never be compared to FFXI that games just soo pluahh....
populated by gold farmers and rude japanese ONLY people..

Wows networkin may suck but it basically kicked FFXI off its pedistol when it luanched. :)

And EQ blows! get off that train and wage war in WoW pvp you wussies!

but yeah lame 4/1 totally obvious in the first sentance.

The thought of Night Elves dancing for gil terrifies me.
And the exchange rate would be 500 gil to 1 copper.

Wow, rated into the toilet for a freakin' JOKE.

I guess the regulars weren't joking when they said the Karma trolls are out in force.

F you trolls, and here's to hopefully getting back to real rating someday.

Just a joke

Liable rules are very lax when it comes to satire.

#REDACTED, Posted: Apr 02 2005 at 5:40 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I canceled my WoW and EQ accounts yesterday after reading this. Thanks for ruining the fun. The server mergers were bad enough. This just killed both games for me.

This message made me very upset.

Final fantasy good features:
-switching back and forth from and to all professions/classes with no penalty. You can be all professions permitted by the race of the character.
-purchasing additional characers per login account for $1.
-more versitile and flexible crafting rules with few limitations.
- interesting races -- taru especially could be gnomes?

Wow features that we like
- Graphics and sound that are comical and entertaining
- Quest system that efficiently tracks quests and tells you where to go next.
- Fast healing and fast regeneration of mana
- Fast respawn rate - virtually no waiting for bosses
- Solo play practical and grouping needed for limited elite quests only
- Almost no death penalty
- no body retrieval problems
- relatively safe roads that take you from one zone safe area to another with little risk.
- safe and efficient, hippogriff, bat, boat, and zepplin transportation system.
-underwater adventuring and swimming.
- good raid system.

Everquest
- i am drawing a blank here

Could someone remind me about things that are good about everquests. Mashochists need not leave their favorite things.

A mashochist told me he liked waiting a week for bosses to spawn, waiting an hour to heal, having no safe way to run from zone to zone, being penalized for dying, etc.

Your forgot about the part of WoW where you don't have to spend hours making money for a peice of armor that's REQUIRED to get a party in FFXI.
:) Oh, that was my favorite part of the game, yours?

HAHA VERY FUNNY....uh no not really. IT'd be cool to walk into Jeuno over 2'5" (former taru player) but if you think about it, all the horde would be considered "beastmen" and we'd get the same thing as before :P. And if WoW and EQ join, i'll shoot myself in the nuts five times. HAHA, nice try allakhazam, but you probably scared the crap out of those sony officials cause you know who they are.

Hmmm...creating false press releases sounds like something that could lead to lawsuits. Especially when dealing with corporate beasts (cough...SOE..cough). :)

Eh, creating a rumor for a joke, that's not law suit material, at least it shouldn't be. But then this is america and we'll sue over anything we can think of.

I must say, he got me! I was starting to think "what about the level conversion? the economy, the combat systems, the armor and weapons, how will this work financially for the companies?!" and then I scrolled down to the april fools update :)

baka!

Square's servers and tech support
Sony's graphics and lore
Blizz's playability and customization

...it would rock.

If we got...
Blizz's servers and tech support
Square's graphics and lore
Sony's playability and customization

if you give bizzard a chance, there tech suport so far is then greatest then any ive come cross and there servers what's really wrong with them if they are teling us the truth about them being state of the art .

rember in nov how they said they did not excpt things go this well and it has grown to 1.5 million and still growing . what do you expt. ?

as for wht Square's servers and tech support is like i wouldn't i like to play just one game at a time.

but sony sux's in everything even some of there graphics and lore they got from wow. :))

Eq 2 has border's you really cant turn off ( I love the full screen as defualt EQ 1 did that to me. ) and other thing's in EQ 1 they tred to fix they never finshed.

so my guess is sony has somethnig on WOW so they have to do this or else . IF it's not a joke and who's doing the Merger if it sony say good bye to how game are now. nerf are coming and other things.

I'll keep playing but it wont be fun anymore ill do it just to do it till get so bored i cant anymore.
:(( sony is just to greedy .

Wow...this took some thinking to read. You need to wake up during English class.
As for Sony being greedy....DUH!!! Sony is a multi-billion dollar world-wide corporation. All their on-line games combined is still just a drop in the bucket compared to all their other endeavors. Why would they care about little details in their games like: grammatical errors,broken quests,minor bugs,etc... as long as the games' playable and most players don't care enough to petition their angst,things will remain the way they are.
It would be nice if EQ was sold to a smaller company like Blizzard(just an example). A company that cares about role-playing and fixing all problems no matter how minor. Why do you think Blizzard does such a great job with WoW? Because they care about the little details. Sony doesn't.

For those who played EQ you no how bad this will be.

and if sony gets a hold of this, some things we are doing in wow now , well say good bye to them if anyone rember's how it was before sony got full control over EQ. and things we were told would happen with EQ 1 and EQ 2 , i have yet to see them happen.

and does anyone really think the crossover will work and stay as high a standard as wow has now.

and one other thing about the cross over they said they would do in EQ 1 to EQ2, when i asked about it just before EQ2 came out i was told that was never posted . but i no what i rede.

( the cross over EQ was talking about was to do some EQ1 quest that were going to be needed to connect the two ) and why didnt sony offer to carry over our player's from EQ1 to EQ2 and now they are .
do you all really think it will happen you no how Eq was.

and I 'm going to print this one out so i have the prove when it all goes another way. i ll just post it were every i can .

and if this isn't a Apirl fools joke.

then that would explain why the last few days of wow have gotten so much better and sony had something to do with it .:(( and i was so hoping it was wow a lone.

Yum!
