seems like the people that work for Trion understand the power of videos like this in promoting their game.
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.
How do you know the people at trion made that video? Not just some wow /eq/ rift fan??? If it was people at trion, I would think they would understand how to write proper english.
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.

Yes, no one can be trusted, so how is Blizzard/Activision treating you now adays?! Unless I am throwing people off and claiming you work for them, because I work for them? Some never play a game with death, or rifts involved, with a Sicilian huh?!
Yeah, their is probably one for about every game by now, these are pretty old....Trion is pretty sneaky and probably made the first one, so they wouldn't be suspected though!

yep, thats the basic rule of the modern inernet.
trust nothing, question everything- everything exists for a reason, usually not the one it seems to at first glance..
so how is Blizzard/Activision treating you now adays?!
They ignore me
I think it's something to do with never having actually bought one of their games
How come so many people falls flat for each new title released?
I wont be playing any MMO's until I've seen them go live and after 6 months they got 75%+ of the initial playerbase still playing. Thats what I would define as a success.
The companies behind each released game really work hard on creating a hype for their game, but dont fall for it, you have to treat it like the commercials on TV. Use common sense and analyze it before you run to the store to buy it.
Also, if a game have flaws in the game engine that disturbs you while you play you can rest asure that it is 100% chance they will follow into closed beta and finally into the release. The game engine is a once in a lifetime choice the developers do before they start producing contents for the game. It's nothing that can be changed later on unless they create the game again from scratch, and that wont happen. A closed beta is a almost finished product, once in open beta it's finished for the release, just some minor flaws being fixed before the release and it's also a great opportunity for the company to show their product to the consumers.
Seen many of hitler ranting, this one's pretty weak and boring TBH... one of the best ones is about Hitler being banned from xbox live
This one and the one with Hitler ranting about Hitler rants being removed by YouTube. There are a lot of poor ones, but also a few gems that never get old.

Sadly, those things are not funny when you can understand German.
Feel free to use my referral link for SW:TOR if you want to test out the game. You'll get some special unlocks!
I know it is in bad taste and if it's too offensive mmporg.com can delete it.
Awkward...
Meh I have seen this scene (from a good movie btw) so many times with different parodies and this one is weak.
The really best one was around Darkfall launch, hilarious and so true:
I don't understand german. But that shit was funny.
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
theres been a lot of these out there, and i'm pretty sure this one was one of the worst.
"...but you still have me to heal you when you take damage."
"You fucking suck! You should go play with them!"
I laughed.
the movie was good and the spoof was great. thanks for sharing.

"When it comes to GW2 any game is fair game"
As someone who doesn't speak German, it was hilarious but I can see how it could really be offensive.

There have been so many of these that they have become about as funny as Chuck Norris jokes. Come up with a new shtick guys.
"Gypsies, tramps, and thieves, we were called by the Admin of the site . . . "
got any more of these? did a youtube search, the ones i've found arent even close.
I don't get it? Why do people keep saying this about the video?

I think I actually spent way more time reading and theorycrafting about MMOs than playing them
Yeah, their is probably one for about every game by now, these are pretty old....Trion is pretty sneaky and probably made the first one, so they wouldn't be suspected though!
The video is a bit confusing - I would think that Hister would have preferred a game with more pvp in it :P

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