A little "sense of humor" goes a long way...

Sad person who made this thread.
It didn't cause a loss of subs, stop pulling non-existent facts out your arse.

This game would benefit from a few mini games. A few small distractions, some social aspects and time consumers would be a huge addition to the game. Waiting for a group to pop with LFG? Play a quick mini game. Want to play SWTOR with friends but not in the mood for the grind? Play a game of Pazzak. Want to get competitive, but in a fun casual way? Join the Swoop/Pod racing circuit and vie for position on the leaderboard.

Any number of mini games would go over well. A little effort would go a long way bioware.
Yeah....mini games would be great, but...are you for serious???! You REALLY know actual people who cancelled their subs BECAUSE of that?
All warfare is based on deception If his forces are united, separate them If you are far from the enemy, make him believe you are near A leader leads by example not by force

TheForce.Net got me on April Fools day with a special 2 disc Blu-Ray release of "The Star Wars Holiday Special". They had a picture of the set including discs, books, photos, packaging. I was all excited... then REALLY disappointed. But I still laughed.

I especially liked the part about Chewbacca and R2-D2 doing commentary. Hilarious!

I can't find the ORIGINAL ad, but here's a look at the packaging!

I got fooled on April Fool's Day by a REALLY OBVIOUS joke
The people telling the joke even told me it was just a joke
And now I'm going to go on the forums and tell you all how I got fooled and how sad it made me, sure it happened months ago, but you all care right?

Hey Guys,

This kind of game is meant to bring people together not open up a new warzone outside of the game. Let somebody vent a little and chuckle with them not at them. I have had some very frustrating moments with tech support. Communication is not their strong suit - although it should be it isn't. Nobody's perfect. Let's work together as a community (gaming to be sure and competitive to be sure) but let's chuckle with each other and relieve stress not add to it.

I thought it was real. I thought it would have been a waste of credits, so after I read it the first time, it was completely forgotten by me until this thread.

Time to forget it again.
