    Please don't hijack others' threads like this (or plain advertisement), especially when you already made a thread about your group.

    This is a verbal warning.

    How is this hi-jacking if it's related to the topic? I'd understand if it were for another game, but since most of the posters here are new to the game, I was asking if they'd want to play together.

    How is it not? the way you worded your post is more closer to plain advertising than anything else. If you wanted to ask people if they want to join a group together, at least word it to sound the part.


    If someone posted a message like this, would you not think of it as plain advertisement?

    No, I wouldn't. If I made a thread for (insert game) and someone came in and said something like "ok, anyone wanna form a guild/clan/etc for the game?" I wouldn't take it as advertisement.

    Now if someone came in and just left a link to a guild site, then yeah, that'd be plain advertisement. My post was specific to the game. Maybe I could of typed a bit slower and worded it differently, but my intentions were to gather interested members to play together.

    Either way, I'm not here to argue, so sorry if I've offended you?

    I have no problem with you wanting to form a group, but there's no need to wave around your website.

    Then people wouldn't know whether or not they'd want to join. People usually want to see a site or a forum before they decide whether or not the group is worth joining. Well, that's what I'd do, anyway, since a lot of people form groups through forums, and they don't always work out.

    Dang! It's just like he knew!

    And okay let's stop being off topic here. PMs and VMs are there for multiple reasons.

    Thank you both for participating, have fun posting on topic on other threads.

    internets are srs business.

    Ontopic. .

    I was unaware they were actually charging people to play this game after a certain level. Last I heard it was going to be free to play. . .which is obviously being tied to free trials now with capped levels. Seen it now in a few others games so I guess they're just doing enough to say it's free to play perhaps.

    Either way I played it throughout the beta and there's no way in hell I'd pay monthly to play it. Probably why they ended up going free. Good for them though, it's better to open it to everyone to enjoy and bring it to life rather than shut it down completely. I'm really shocked EA would make a move to free to play like that.

    It wasn't monthly. Just 20 euros once...
