    This.

    That scene has been so used in almost every game and even non game parody situations.

    "reference to gaige"

     

    Good find.  This thread was starting to get into some baseless MMO marketing conspiracy weirdness.

     

     

    No it wasnt.. it was clearly said early on that it was all tongue in cheek.

    Sorry you missed that.

    (or does a Trion employee just happen to belong to EQ2flames??)

    kudos to them for utilising youtube like this. Wont make the game anymore enjoyable after the first month, but it'll all help sell boxes.

    ^ this

     

    and i think it was... yours is only one of a few references to this.

    I made this video. And i do not work for Trion in any way shape of form and i do not work for any other mmo lol. I hope i dont get Jesse Ventura knocking on my door sayin that he's a ex Governor, ex navy seal and a fighter and demands for me to tell the truth.

    I basicly made this video for the people of EQ2Flames, had no idea it was going to be posted everywhere. If you dont know the situation for this video it might not be as funny to some of you.

     

    Glad some people thought it was funny though :)

    I laughed... nice work.

     

    Tell the guys in the Trion mar-com dept I said hi.   =P

    I'm guessing he doesnt work for trion. but did make an excellent spoof video.  the reason i post his join date is just to say he didnt just make his account to bash those that dislike rift. i know you know this, others may not understand.

     

    You know who works for Trion?

    I mean, my post was pretty tongue in cheek, not to be taken all that seriously, but what has the join date got to do with it really?

    Shilling and viral marketing on a budget 101... use old accounts, even have a few maturing in the background ready to activate, it creates credibility and trust, anyone that knows how shilling works gets this ;)

    But like I say, I am only being tongue in cheek here, I really don't know if this was Trion or not. In the end it dosent really matter.

    I don't want a warning...so I'll keep it clean and stick to your absurd assumption.

    You actually meant to insinuate that Trion is behind this and not some fanboy? 

    A major company would not risk it getting out that they are comparing Rift Haters to Hitler.  Think of the bad PR.  You really think an intelligent company that's been able to get 100 million in backing for a startup would really risk such a move?

    REALLY?

    There is nothing tongue 'n' cheek about your post at all.  You actually believe this and backed it up with the post that I am quoting here.  You actually think that there's some doubt that Trion could have done this?

    TRION DIDN'T MAKE THIS VIDEO. 

    It was a fanboy who made this, showing how he sees people who come up with rediculous assumptions about a game, just to tarnish it. 

    People whom would go so far to insinuate that Trion Worlds would make the video themselves because NO ONE  likes Rift enough to actually do something like this. 

    Yes, they are all employees hell bent on convincing the world with their Crucia-like powers to ensare the MMO community in the biggest hoax, since aliens shot JFK.

    haha yeah, I was having a cheeky dig, just for fun. I thought people would take it that way, especially as I explained the fact.

    I am sorry it got you so bent out of shape, that honestly wasnt the intention.

    peace :)

    Regardless of my opinion on Rift, this is the worst adaption ive seen so far and I have seen a lot.
