Actually Erpy did make a couple of posts before he made this thread. My mistake. But its mysterious that that moderators or Erpy has really posted today.

Speech pack? No. Wise crack!

#58 Post by thehiddenone » Wed Apr 02, 2003 9:47 am

I'm terribly sorry to be the one who has to break this to you but I <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>know</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--> for a fact that this is indeed a hoax.<br><br>Without saying too much, I "overheard" one of the mods saying that Tierra have been planning this AFJ for a few weeks now. Tierra thought that nobody would remember April 1 this year but everyone did and their plan has backfired.<br><br>Look at the facts.<br><br>1.AGD2 always insisted there's no chance of a voice pack ever being made for KQ2. Too many scripted scenes, he said, will need to be redone.<br><br>2.If it were true, then why hasn't this news been announced on the main Tierra site, but only on the general forum? It has not been announced in the KQ2 forum either. Erpy wanted speech pack discussion limited to this thread so that news didn't spread to other forums and result in even more negative publicity for Tierra when people discover the hoax. I think ADG1's earlier comment in the thread confirms this.<br><br>3.Also think about the size of such a speech pack. It would be totally unrealistic to believe that this has been done in the short amount of time since the game's released.<br><br>Open your eyes people!<br><br>IMHO, this is a very bad pr move on Tierra's part because although it's a joke, there are limits to what is funny and what's not. An AFJ should cause initial stress and/or worry and then end in relief when the hoax is reveald. it should never be the other way around.<br><br>But whether you believe me or not, you'll just wait and see. When Erpy posts again to confirm the hoax, you'll see I'm right. I'm on to you, Erpy!<br><br>Oh, and don't bother trying to trace my ip number mods.

that was my biggest argument about why this COULD be true. Because of the public relations aspect. Tierra NORMALLY is on top of that situation, and tries to limit what they tell us, until it's close at hand... most of the time. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/bryce/pimpbot.gif" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--><br>----------<br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.nancycarterdesign.com/spongefactory/" target="top">Sponge Factory</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--></p><i></i>

Oh, come on! If any of you were foolish enough to have not realised it was April the 1st when it was posted and believed it, at least take for what it is: A hoax/joke! There is absolutely no need to start bitching to Tierra about bad PR relations.

No, Muxlack. You do not understand. I can say with all certainty that this is a hoax for sure! You will see that you are the sufferer of wishful thinking.<br><br>This is why I said that it is a very BAD pr move for Tierra and not a good one. <br><br>SkyShark, why couldn't Tierra just pretend that they got closed down by Sierra instead for an AFJ? Then we find out the good news that Tierra really still exists and we are so glad. Now instead, when people find out there is no speech pack they will be very dissapointed and not see the humor in this so-called 'joke'. <p></p><i></i>

Bah! I don't think any of you understand what I'm saying. As I've said SEVERAL times, I'm not holding my breath. I don't think that they are serious. I simply stated that Tierra has been smart in the past, and I don't see why they wouldn't be now. Whether it was an April fools day joke or not, I am simply saying that it is repetitive when rumours get passed around. Tierra doesn't want to contribute that. It will make matters bad. Even if it IS an april fools joke, it will still cause rumours. Tierra has been smart in the past, and I simply am stating that it's ignorant to say, "It's impossible!" and it's ignorant to say, "It's a dream come true." I'm not trying to brag, but I think that I have the best response to this thread that I've seen. I'm not a genious or anything, but you can't simply say "It's a joke for sure!" when these people don't want to stiru up rumours. I've thought it through.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>"I personally don't see the use of hyping things up (or even announcing them for that matter) "<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Quoted from erpy himself. <br><br>Basically, Tierra likes to surprise us.

Kurt, your statements are nothing more than blind optimism. It's a hoax, plain and simple. Guys like you are exactly the kind of people the joke was aimed at. At this point, you're only ruining your own credibility by posting messages like that. Get out of the denial stage and move on to acceptance! <p></p><i></i>

No...I think they're right. Okay, Musically, you can kick me in the head now...the rest of you too. Man, this sucks. I was so looking forward to it too.<br><br>In my heart of hearts, I'm almost glad.

Wow. I might have underestimated the attention this whole thing would get. While there was a fair chance to begin with that this would quickly spread across the internet, I didn't expect it to pop up on four other forums within a matter of hours. (I noticed the issue popped up on the AGS-forums, KQ9-forums, Adventure Gamers-forums and Just Adventure-forums)<br><br>Fortunately, the discussions there remained small. I'd hate having to come up with explanations on all those sites. Here, on the other hand... I'll need some time to come up with a solid clarification.<br><br>EDIT: I might go ahead and start reacting to quotes at this moment, although I doubt I have time to give elaborated comments until later this day.<br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Also, not all countries have April 1st as their "trick day."

One thing is for sure: the fact that this thread was created on april the 1st was not a coincidence. But I guess most of you already figured that out.<br><br>And hiddenone: the idea of pretending to have obtained a "cease and desist" from Sierra was actually mentioned on our team. (you know, make all forum folders invisible and take the website down or link it directly to Sierra.com) In the end, we decided against it. If this would have spread, people might have been sending hatemail to Sierra before we could explain that we weren't serious. Out of everyone, Sierra'd be the last one we'd want negative attention from. IF we were gonna toss pranks around, it shouldn't be at the cost of anybody but ourselves.<br><br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://members.chello.nl/c.vanempel/Nas ... <!--EZCODE IMAGE END--> <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... ms>Erpy</A>  <IMG HEIGHT=10 WIDTH=10 SRC="http://members.chello.nl/c.vanempel/icon.jpg" BORDER=0> at: 4/2/03 12:07:25 pm<br></i>

I still think there was quite a bit of evidence for why it could have been so. Erpy said himself that he didn't expect it to spread like this. THat was my biggest reason for why it could be so.

I wonder why Tierra don't end these speculations now. As longer as this goes one, as more they will lose of their credibility. If other people had started such speculation-threads, they had already closed them. <p></p><i></i>

In my opinion I think that if this was a hoax, it would have been stated rather quickly and not let it spread to other forums. When that had happened I think that's when they would have said it was a hoax. Erpy did say that it wasn't a concidence it was mentioned April 1st. But that dosen't mean it was a hoax. Maybe it was meant to seem like a hoax when its true. <p>The Knight<br><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/1799499.jpg" style="border:0;"/><!--EZCODE IMAGE END--></p><i></i>
