Game is Dead

sangodoc

I don't know why Frankieray deleted it, however re-adding something (even in modified form) that has been removed by a moderator is rather obviously something that you shouldn't do.

I've contacted Frankieray about the page, but as yet I haven't gotten a response. However, if he says it gets deleted, then I'll enforce that.

Edit: I should note that I didn't get a good look at the original image. Was it possibly copyright violation if you took it from somewhere else? If that's the case then the new image might be OK.

Edit #2: Duh. I just noticed you linked to the images above, and yeah, it looks like it might have been for copyright reasons. I'll check with Frankieray on that. Still, the graph is really misleading, since around two thirds of the graph vertically is missing. Try rendering it again so it goes from 0 to 33, instead of just 23 to 33, and you'll see it's a lot less dramatic. Your Paint version is even more useless, since neither axis is labeled.

The image wasn't copyrighted, as it was a screenshot from one of the pages where you could check the price of stocks, in this case that of PWE's.

What the deletion does is this:
1. The image is used to promote "Their stock is plummeting so they're putting on ridiculous sales"-image
2. Deleting said image is like saying "No, we're not doing this to turn a profit because the stock is down", just without saying it and without providing any kind of alternative explanation.

So, in the end it turns out to look like they're trying to put a gag on people.

Um... Actually, because it's from that site it's pretty much automatically protected by copyright.

He could use that information to create his own rendering, but copying-and-pasting directly from another website is a violation of their copyright.

Yup, it's kind of a useless image. Still, I'm just waiting on Frankieraye's response, and if the problem was copyright violation on the original image then there isn't a problem with the MS Paint version, other than its utter lack of context.

The interesting part is that I have not seen actually with a signature that had the stock graph in it.

So putting it there as an example of the signatures people are using is kinda silly.

And even if it is used by some, it's far rarer than the others.

Would it be better if he did it from about a year and 3 months ago and watch as it dropped from 50+ to under 25? Not dramatic at all.

Are you guys surprised? There is no fairness in the company/game/forums anymore. NONE. People ARE being muffled. Why? Oh because they're giving the company a bad name. Imagine a person that never played the game, never read the forums... Such person reads a wiki and.....??!?????! .... you see? Those poor, new, blind people need to download the game first, charge some zen, play for a bit and only then might they realize the truth. Whereas if such info is posted on the wiki, they might just run away before they install and charge... You see???

-noone plays the game anymore and servers are empty;
-PWE will have to shut down the game, because of financial problems.

^^ Are the direct results of the list of the meaning isn't it. I guess it could happen but truth be told I don't see that happening no time soon oh and there is another class of gamer "The just tryna get a camshow gamer" Y'all know what I meanb:dirty

Paramedic - Dreamweaver

it could happen but they made, well-working, player-mincer: game was not bad, so it got famous; now - they just rip money from new players and advertise heavily (facebook even =o )


quantity > quality

Most Players Dont Want The Game To Be Easy, Where Is The Fun In That. If They Want To Make The Game Better They Should Make It Harder To Level And Get The Gear That You Want Like It Used To Be. So Then You Feel Satisfied About What You Achieved And Or Done. Even With All The New Servers And Content That Had Been Released Since The Game First Appeared I Bet You Ten To One That The Game Still Had More Players Way Back When Then It Does Now. Also Besides There Only Making The Game Easier For Those Who Choose To Spend Actual Money On It, For Those Who Dont Wish To Then There Truthfully Left Behind In The Dust In Alot Of Aspects.

Whoever wrote that bit in the PW Wiki forgot a group; the "I just want to play the god damned game without having to listen to all your btching" category. .

I .. agree....

I can see griping if it was a P2P game, but it is a F2P game. And any $$ investment made into game, is your own decision.

No one says you too have to level fast and use the hypers, oracles and such.... do things at your own speed, in your own time... buy what you want.. don't bend to peer pressure.
