News: Resolved - PS2 Region - Page 75

Akadios · 2012-06-16, 10:03 AM

@Mechzz and @ Crator I had a member of my outfit decide not to play planetside 2 because he read this post and thought it was still happening (he has decided to come back since I told him but still) :| so I posted up the facts hoping people would at least check the last page and flagged it and asked it to be locked/deleted so it would not hurt the Planetside 2 image.

The thread also comes up as #1 on google if you google "planetside 2 region lock" so it very well could be doing a good bit of damage. As such the responsible thing is for it to be deleted so it will cycle off google.

What did you expect when you bumped a 77 page thread that wasn't anywhere near the first page of the forums, when the OP still contained incorrect information likely to upset anyone who hadn't seen the topic before, like Mr. Nemises over there. (Anyone who didn't bother to check to see if it was a necro'd thread, anyways)

Edit: I like how your link doesn't work because it was shortened with ..., instead of being the actual correct url.

I honestly dont think this thread needed to be bumped.

OK. Got you. Maybe the original poster should be asked to update it?

Not certain if locking a thread will prevent google search problem.

Akadios · 2012-06-16, 10:23 AM

That's a good idea mechzz ill send him a message. It could also just be deleted which would solve the Google issue. With psu being a trusted resource, it being su ch a long thread,and its position in google make it an actual issue I hope they can fix.

That post of region lock made to much of a commotion and scared the community, bad play on them to even say that it would be. Bad word choice on them and what they said.

Akadios · 2012-06-16, 10:28 AM

Ya but they fixed it and this thread is still out there potentially scaring away people with its #1 Google position and 77 pages of ppl bitching no one reads to the end they see it the first 20 pages are all ppl agreeing and they think it's real.

And then Planetside 2 gets released and they discover it's not region locked after all.

If this thread can now be considered misleading, you've given it a hell of a lot more exposure by bumping it than it would have had merely being the top result for "Planetside 2 region lock".

Nooooo don't remind me... I had nightmares about this for a week.

No, DON'T lock this thread. After the game is released, this can become the "Boo-hoo, my ping sucks" thread.

When people complain about high pings and crappy connections, I'll ask, "Are you European?" and they'll say "Yea". Then I'll say, "This is what you dumb mother****ers wanted, you ****ing ***hole. Go cry on the forums, specificly THIS thread."

The incredible stupidity of people boggles my mind:

"I want to play on a server 7000 miles away!"
"You sir, are a moron."

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the motivation for playing on foreign servers isn't to do with the distances involved...

Maybe you should take it easy and go lay down for a while, mate, wouldn't want you to pop a vein. So much anger and resentment... can't be good for you.
