First anyone that actually speaks to me on XFire or where-ever knows that I am a complete love of WiC, the SP and especially the MP so I thought I'd get that off my chest before I get flamed but I'd also like to say:
What went wrong? I've yet to actually read about people disliking the game but there is little forum activity here and there aren't as many servers as the game deserves.
The beta was by and far and still is the most stable game I have ever played, and I've done quite a few closed and open betas too. The full retail was released you know....finished which is nice to see in the climate that we see recently in the industry.
WiC has plenty of promotionals, there are a lot of free trials floating around in other game's that Sierra has made, all of the retail product's came with a full 10-day trial to give away to friends
Theres Massive's 2008 draft going on as well with the addition of a medal to reward those who recruit players, and of course the just started two week free trail for anyone that want's to download it get MP up until the 26th of March.
With all this promotion an excellent game I don't see why this isn't more popular, ok so the genre isn't the best selling in the market but I as rule play a lot more FPS than anything else but I really love WiC so much I can't describe it.
Was there a lack of pre-release hype? Did Sierra mess up with distribution and advertisements in the states and else where?
I just get a little frustrated when such an amazing game is neglected by the gamers, the devs and trying so hard to get people to just try the game and they'd see how wonderful it is.
I mean d@mn, it's not even that expensive to buy atleast here it's only £19.99 in store and you could probably find it cheaper online.It's not like it's a subscription based game either. You pay for the game you get wonderful support, regular patches and a epic game!
If nothing else I guess I'm commending Massive on a great game, and their outstanding effort at trying to make WiC up there with all the other games, a place that it rightly deserves. This is one of few games where devs have done things the right way and look what they've had
In essence what I'm saying is, TGN if every member hasn't tried this game I will personally send Alex around your houses to moan at you until you do :evil:
Also on a side note I've still got my 10 day trial from my retail game if anyone in the UK want's it I'll gladly send it to them PM if your interested).
