Promises, more empty promises?

[PIRATE JUSTICE]

Bait and switch, obfuscate and confuse, avoid and deny.

Are you still buying that "hope & change" schtick?

Please remember what we requested, when you consider what's being offered.

Don't accept a bone, when you asked for T-Bone Steak.

Now isn't the time to break ranks, is it?

It's your money, why not keep it?

Why continue to spend it to obtain broken, useless trinkets, with invisible, magical powers?

What if you tendered invisible money?

By the way, there are no leprechauns, and you don't get sex in the "boom-boom" room!!!

What we're seeking isn't negotiable.

And, do you want (or need) more useless trinkets?

I know what we requested, and it's not a gnawed T-Bone, without the meat.

Magic tricks look cool, but they're still just tricks.

Don't break ranks, and let's not deal with the hired help.

Where's the boss, not some cartoon character you defeat in the game, but the boss?

You referring to the "upcoming changes" thread?

[PIRATE JUSTICE]

We aren't permitted to discuss certain things.

"They" have "their" rules.

But, if we were playing the "hot & cold" game, you'd be very hot!

Got it. Ok. Lol

Hey all,There were a few things we were keeping under wraps, but is very relevant for the people that are expressing their issues with the game. We're launching some new features soon, and some of the features include:Adding unit bonuses to your profile pageAdding improved guild features (more on this soon)As well as those features (there are more, and I'll be giving spoilers soon) we are going to unfreeze the last hour of events. We'll also be holding a 40% global sale, to make up for those that did not get the 40% sale the last time it went around.There's a lot more, and in the coming weeks I'll be sharing as much of it as I can. If I hear of any other changes, improvements, fixes, or updates, I'll be sure to let you know.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away...

I'm confused.

[Alaska Ken]

It's progress, it's only day 3.

[PIRATE JUSTICE]

I am under, as are we all, a censorship directive; and am unable to speak in specifics.


Hypothetically speaking, once upon a time, a certain caretaker said he or she is unable to speak directly about certain issues.

The caretaker told the peasants that he or she would attempt to get a message to the king or queen.


Suddenly the caretaker is speaking.

This just reminds me of "The Wizard of Oz", and the little, conman behind the curtain, who had conned the little munchkins into believing he was a wizard.


I just find this to be odd.

As you said in your OP - bait and switch. Give the peasants some shiny toy and they will forget that they are starving for the basics.

Another astute observer and commentator chimes in with a significant observation.


Thank you for not being distracted by empty promises.

By the way, sniff, sniff; do I smell another "crate scam" or is that one of those "collect ten" shams?

[Alaska Ken]

I don't think any of us that are boycotting will be giving in until all the real changes are made. Not just promised, but made.

[mickymacirl]

Unless we get a detailed bug fix list I don't believe anything Funzio says anymore.

[Ferr]

I am not sure about this either. Just listing boosts on your profile does not mean anything. That is like copy paste the unit info on your profile. It still wont work and we cant check if it works.....

I know what it's all about. I only hope some of us don't fall for it, again.


By the way, I've got some ideas about next week's announcement. I've also done some research, and there's an easy, legal tactic we can employ here in the US and Canada.


I'll see that you get a draft, as well as our other partners via secure back communications channel. (Same way I got your original idea.) Look for it by Thursday or Friday.
