For sure you don't work in marketing. Otherwise you'd know some of the basic rules that I had to spell for you (and for some reason, you still seem not to understand, denial much?) :D

Again you are backtracking.....you said the game was a commercial failur, you were wrong...

---

Nope. I said that the game was a critical commercial failure, and I backed it up. You've simply been proven wrong.
To be precise, your own data prove you wrong. As they are intentionally generic and show a true pittance in revenue, that's easily beaten by most of the other critical failures out there in the market.

Please, grow up. I understand that being proven wrong burns, but you're getting childish.

I'll let you know how it feels when and if I am proven wrong.....

OMG NOT OPTIONS!!!!

He didn't say options were bad, he said having too many options is bad. Giving someone too many options looks ugly, overwhelms many players and makes things that people might actually want to change harder to find, requiring either a big screen of text or icon or numerous menus that can be clumsy to navigate. Options for improving usability are a goof thing, overloading menus with too many is just making things worse.

I refer you to my previous decimating victory over the badly beaten opponent you are attempting to support.

Thank you drive through.

Also guys, You are still not taking this all seriously are you?

Don't need to, considering how you're acting, it's quite easy to notice that you know you've been proven wrong, and it infuriates you. Though luck Mr. Wikipedia. It's a good lesson learned on not overstepping the bounds of your experience :D

Your desperate attempts to climb up the chasm you threw yourself into are rather amusing, though.

We're on the internet mate, everyone can be whatever he wants. This without even mentioning that if you think you know something about gaming-related marketing (and even more MMORPGs), by handling the "marketing" of a local franchise shop (lol), you're more delusive than you look.

Translated from the above:
"I win! because... I say so!"

I don't think I'd mind the "just look at the map" so much if I felt like the game was actually trying to kick my ass... it feels like it wants to me to succeed.

But I would like some more difficult quests where the quest giver doesn't know the EXACT coordinates of where I need to go... Something between XIV and XI... some of the quests in the latter were so directionless that you essentially had to go to the wiki.

I like my officemax......

and yeah....you totally got me figured out man....it's Soooo obvious....

Course I'd be willing to put my money where my mouth is on air on our podcast.....would you?

You've an open invite if you want it?

Like it matters? You should learn to read an entire post before responding.
Try the part that says "This without even mentioning that if you think you know something about gaming-related marketing (and even more MMORPGs), by handling the "marketing" of a local franchise shop (lol), you're more delusive than you look."

Come back when your local officemax makes you handle some international campaign. That'll be a little step nearer than the global marketing related to a MMORPG, which is a niche area of a niche market on a completely different scale.

Mind you, I understand how you feel. One WHOLE million in revenues must seem like an enormous amount for someone that handles a local store :D

So, you are afraid to put your money where your mouth is, that's what I am hearing?

I'm just a simple guy, I am not even sure how marketing has anything to do with the whole point! perhaps you should come on the show and enlighten me?

EDIT: btw what is it you do for a living?
