Blizzard is scared of Aion, Proof... I got banned for talking about it.

Chase Payne · 08-04-2009, 10:12 PM

Summary of 38 pages:
Some guy says I photoedited the picture
They link threads,
The threads get deleted, in denial they continue to link threads.
More gets banned, then we talk about moderators are affraid.
In general, they do ban Aion threads in WoW forums *only* if they are positive.

Trolls:
"You cant post other games in Wow of cource you'll get banned"
http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/th...400814&sid=1#3
^^ Get out.

Even blizzard thinks Aion is a threat! Read my detailed review from a WoW player:
Review from WoW player, I've already quit WoW.

That's because so many people are leaving for it

They know wow is getting stale, and now they're afraid they won't be getting... 165 MILLION dollars a week >.>

Because the internet is so troublesome? For all you know they've "invented" a powerful/shortcutting netcode for people in the same region that could all but erase the posibility for their to be latency issues. If you are playing on a Computer that you don't want to connect to the net... O_O... whatever.

That's pretty funny.

Fyuryus · 08-04-2009, 10:19 PM

I don't think that's because Blizzard is scared so much as it's because it's just plain inappropriate.

Newsflash -- you also can't use the NBC forums to advertise sporting events on CBS, and you can't put up a Pepsi billboard on the side of the Coca-Cola corporate headquarters. lol

It's a business, plain and simple.

The rule said I could talk about other games and I got banned anyway. LOL

Reminds me of how SoE started threatening to ban anyone who even posted about not liking the NGE on SWG. Heavy-handed moderation is heavy-handed. Not a fan of memes, but it fits, so there you go.

Umm. Yeah but that's only about 128mil / week profit. O.o

It's always been against the Terms of Service in the WoW forums to discuss other games.

People got banned for Everquest, Everquest 2, Lineage, Lineage 2, Warhammer, Eve, LoTR....

The biggest buzz that I saw on the WoW forums was for Warhammer. I haven't seen the same level of posts for Aion yet. It may be that they've gotten better and faster at deleting these posts and banning the posters. The WoW community team does have a few years under their belt now for enforcing their forum policies.

If you want to test it out, when your ban is up, you can post about Everquest 2.
