Olympic games event- why not?

I don't quite know why but I have the urge to scream, "Wolverines!"

OP probably didn't intend for this to become a politically-charged thread, but I have a feeling it is going to.

An Olympic event would be cool, but it is way too late for them to add one now. Next time, maybe.

Agreed, both points

I have to agree as well. I hate to be one of the folks who wants to make it politically-charged, but honestly, the stuff that's going on is pretty upsetting/scary to me.

Why it will most likely not happen, the Olympic committee holds an iron grip on everything related to it. If Square wanted to do an event based on it, they would have to pay a pretty large amount to allow it. The closest you could get without that is like what Blizzard did with the Chinese dragon, "Spirit of Competition" was the name they gave it. If you only skirt the topic, not use the name outright. That said, i could see Square doing it for the one that is in Japan coming up.

I didn't realise that at all, but of course it makes sense, just like the Super Bowl or any other huge competition is so bound by red tape it hurts. That's too bad

I'm sure OP intended this, and plays innocent. I do have him marked as a troll. He created 80 threads with only 371 posts.

I think this would be awesome! ^_^

There could be a fate where Al-mingo extremists try to disrupt the games, which are being held in the Garlean controlled resort city of Silvertear Falls and PC's would have to thwart the insurgents by diffusing bombs and stuff!

Then in another fate PC's could join the Garlean riot police in cracking down on anti-Garlean protesters who have come to the games to defend their right to believe in primals.

How cool would that be???? xD

Pretty much this. You better believe NBC paid a hefty licensing fee to be able to broadcast the games.

@Im a troll@, Russia haters or Olympic games haters.. I dont care. Im from Russia- so what (here we will see a joke about my not good english)? This is not a political thread- this thread is just an IDEA. I played in a small anime mmorpg and there was an event during 2012 Olympic games, special sport costumes in the in-game store. It was nice. Is it so popular to try to find different points of the words? There is ONE point- idea of an in-game event, idea for the developers to make different, unusual events. Just read the words- dont try to see something between the word lines
