Yea new information, thats what i wanted to read... Thx


Edit: Oh btw, can u assume how long it would take for that announcement IF EVEN?

A good estimate based on marketing would to be do it a 2 weeks to a month before the film release. Would see increase in sales for the film, would see sub numbers sky rocket, and above all, rebuild good will with customers and long time fans. Wouldn't hurt the bank either, shareholders love to see an increase in dividends.

I purchased stock in the company on Friday. My hunch is good as a buddy has informed me from some folks he knows in the company that something big is being worked on. No its not legion, but is related to the shutdown, plans for legacy, etc. That is all I know.

Not that I'm doubting you, specifically, Crono, but I kinda am. I don't blindly believe everything people post around here, especially in these "end times."

That being said, I also know that just because it's "from a friend who knows someone" doesn't always make it false, either.

Not asking to name names, but can you be a bit more specific about your buddy knowing someone, and if so what KIND of position they might be in?

Thanks.

A friend of mine lives in Cali, not saying city, but you can probably guess. He knows devs in the company. From what I gather, this whole bad PR has hopefully shaken up enough to change policy. Also, the lead devs on WoW are Activision plants, they never worked on it before cata. They have a mentality that they know best because reasons. J. Allen Brack and his "you think you do, but you don't" bullshit.

Also, he told me some employees did play on Nost, their bosses knew about it, and it was not spoken of at work. You know, "research" purposes.

My hunch is based on this information, the timing of the shutdown, and an understanding of economics and marketing. Blizzard is in a situation to rebuild good will with many fans, make a good amount of money for low cost, and bring more visibility to their brand. This of course happens if rational decisions are made, but we all know how that goes with Blizzard.

Still conjecture, but if there's much depth or truth to it (not calling you a liar!) then that's exactly what I was asking for, thank you.

Not to mention, we all have wondered if Blizzard ever checked out Nostalrius for themselves, and I would easily believe that employees there would have given it a go, even if just for "research" like you said.

If any of this you speak of comes true, then I will be first in line to hoist you aloft and chant your name - even if just for the fleeting hope we have in these dark times.

As much fun as it would to be to say "I told you so," with the amount of money I have on the line for this, I will refrain from doing so. You have hope, I will have 3 figure bet going by Friday.
