Perfectworld - Never winter and social media

It is great to see Perfect world using the power of social media, unfortunately it seems to have backfired somewhat in that on Facebook any thing they put up like Gauntlgrym on Preview shard, just gets ripped to shreds by everyone.

I am seriously wondering what the shelf life is with never winter, seems like the zen store is a smash and grab for money, before people realize that you cant polish a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>.

    As a certified paranoid person, I won't touch facebook or the others. Actually people have stopped saying I was paranoid since Mr. Snowden has been in the news... but they need to put the data on the SITE or on the game popup FIRST and then if it is shared elsewhere, that is great. I should not have to give out my personal info (or make <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> up) just to get onto a third party site to find out what is happening to the game because the data is not posted here.

    Actually, you can polish a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>. There was a Mythbusters episode about it. If I remember correctly, tiger turds are the best for polishing of the ones they tried. Ahh yes, here it is:

    I would think a nice prehistoric, petrified one would polish up nicely. They could call it terdmaline and sell it as jewelery.

    I think I have a few terdmaline bars or something from some of the quests. Theoretically if I save up a bunch of terdmalines, I can trade them in for a mount, right?

    I actually agree with this, not everyone uses these weird sites. Game forum is here for that reason. If it isn't shared here, I don't think the company really cares. is it really that hard to copy and paste?

    just goes to show you can polish a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>... unfortunately despite all the bling, marketing, and news... never winter is still a <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> underneath.

    It gets ripped to shreds because people are free to express themselves about a subject, good or bad, without fear of biased moderation. Social media is also a way to quickly advertise, but also have the word get out about pure <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>, very effectively, and quickly.

    Alot of the social media site owners try to perform moderation there too, but what they dont know, is as soon as a message is posted, it potentially updates hundreds of thousands of computers. Good right? Users don't always use defaults for sync/refresh, and some even let it go the whole day. The "word" can get out and propagate via cache/quoting no matter what the social media mods do. Its awesome. :cool:
