So with the release of Warhammer Online only a week away, I think that at this time at OP it’s a great time to reflect on the upcoming chaos communication that is bound to happen in the community once the game drops into shelves on September 18th. A lot of people have already gotten a quick preview of what’s to come on WAR’s many fansites, blogs, and forums.
I hope you’re all excited and ready for WAR!
I hope you’re ready for that wonderful first post after release about how a class needs to be nerfed even though they’re only level 5 and had their finger up their nose while they were getting killed. Insightful!
I hope you’re ready for the very first post that declares that they are leaving the game one day after launch – although the post is really meant to be a way for people to get attention to themselves. Nothing wrong with that, as the world needs attention whores too. Incredible!
I hope you’re ready for the ridiculously productive post that starts with WAR, includes the words WoW, and ends with the word fail. Oh, how such grandiose statements make my blood boil with excitement. Isn’t it great that we’re going to see so many predictions that we can later point and laugh at? I am.
I hope you’re ready for forum warriors who will do everything they can to toch someone into not posting, when in fact their opponent will be tihnking the exact same thing. Oh, how I relish 56 pages of quality content such as “i pwned you hard 1v1″ and “you are so imba anyway, cowards zerg”. Long-lived – I love it!
I hope you’re ready for the overall decrease in the master of the English language. with people posting as if they were texting with one pinky finger and their tongue on their cellphones. L2P? LOL? WTF? GG? OPP? Yeah You Know Me? It is going to be a veritable acronym alphabet soup out there,a nd you better get your translation books, because there’s going to be more of it, typed by people who can’t bother to type actual words.
I hope you’re ready for the first inevitable server crash and the crying and gnashing of teeth that will ensue, as people rush to forums to declare the broken state of the game, the worst release ever, and the fact that their nuts are bigger than anyone else’s on the server.
Speaking of which, much nut and other sexual organ comparison is incoming. For some, it may be the closest they ever get to talking with someone of their preferred sex about sexual organs at all. Oh, the measuring sticks that will come out in an effort to show that while they are compelte failures in actual life that they are amazing when it comes to mashing random keys on a keyboard.
Me? I’m looking forward to many, many more positive and helpful blog posts such as this. See you out on the battlefield! Aren’t you psyched now?
