And noticed a lot of similarities between us and them. Things like long training times, spending real money to make things happen quicker, that sort of thing. Not trying to start anything, just saying...

I'm trying to figure out if this is bait for us to:

1. use Google
2. go to cracked
3. install Game of War

Either way, it's a bit of a fail marketing strategy.

I'll assume it's not Google, most likely cracked.

Good example of why sites should pay for proper marketing rather than fail spam.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

As you insinuate that they may be copying. I guess you want us to look, as what you've mentioned means absolutely nothing.

I'd say that'sa smidge different than shelling down real cash to make something poof into existence.

The time needed to make a bazaar character doesn't just appear from nowhere, you still have to take the time to skill the character up, even if it isn't you doing the training. Same with specialized alts.


I'll start calling it similar when CCP starts offering "Get level 5 in a chosen skill INSTANTLY" style crud.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When games were fun
And life worth living
I dreamed that threads would never die
I dreamed that ISD would be forgiving
