Discussion - WotLK Leak Publicity Stunt

[SectorSeven]

Do you think the WotLK leak was a publicity stunt by Blizzard and was planned so that people would get more excited about WotLK and grab people away from new recent games (AoC)?

Leave your comments.

No doubts about it, come on blizz... two days before the AoC launch!!

[TheSpidey]

Seems like a stunt to me :P

[ently]

Lol theres a theory for everything now days, 911,Holocast, Jesus, Wrath of the lich king leak.. WHEN WILL IT END!

[Pwntzyou]

911 holocaust jesus

No

Alpha being leaked a day before the "wow killer" was to be released... yes

[Nemesis Kkc]

what leak? :/ we have videos pics and a site with informations about wotlk, so wtf else is there to leak?

Zomg hacks.

[loleur]

I think that is possible, but in my opinion, this is not in their interest.

[EcHoEs]

Nemesis.. WotLK client.

[Dragonshadow]

And WotLK Sandbox servers.

But that was only possible because of the client.

[Synris]

hmm, thought thered be more maybe's... we dont realy know and blizz did put it in ToS. so.. i unno

/maybe

[Cursed]

Ofc it was a stunt... Right before AoC start

Everyone's always got a conspiracy theory.

Think about it for a second. The F&F beta had no effect on 95% of blizz's customers. The only people who will play with it are the legit folks in the beta, and those of us that play with emulation. The majority of people that quit/left for AoC are going to AoC no matter what, and have never heard of a F&F beta, or a WoTLK sandbox, or mangos...

On top of that, Blizz banned 350,000 Glider accounts the same day AoC came out. If they were so scared of AoC, would this really be a good logic to follow? Send them 350,000 customers on day 1?

Last but not least, am I the only one that remembers running around in a TBC sandbox while the TBC F&F beta was going on?

I'm sorry to say, but there's no conspiracy here. They want their expansion out in 2008, and to do so, means it needs to be tested. Timing is coincidental at best.

My opinions, of coarse.

[iaretehfunny?]

It definetly was a stunt. 2 days from Aoc? Come on now it is a stunt. Look at the alpha for TBC. We didnt get that until beta was released. And the client was for F&F was alvailible by a simple link. Ya it was on purpose. Just a small opinion of mine.

EDIT: when we see a hard date on warhammer, i guarentee that Blizz will release a date for WotLK

[Fersure]

The closed beta for The Wrath of The Lich King is coming soon, Of course its a stunt to get people still hooked to playing. If you keep on playing then they have a chance of getting the key and see it. Aswell, the WotLK's leak is to get peoples attention to the game.

[Ickybad]

Who cares? If blizzard did this as a stunt for m ore people then let it be but i really dont care. Blizzard is a okay company but this is a load of crap. If they want to steal people from AoC even though AoC is a crappy game i nthe first place be my guest.
