The night of 17 October. It was raining heavily, and my thin, soggy jacket could not stop the trembling of my shivering body. There it was again, the noise. I looked around, but how many times before, no one was visible. Who would have thought that such information could thus trigger a reaction? I continued and finally came to my door. Only now I relaxed a little and pulled the keys out of the damp coat pocket. Once again the sound. Startled, I turned around. This time it was much closer. A figure stood there. A dark shadow near the street lamp, not 20 yards away. My hands were shaking, and the key was very reluctant admission into the steel lock ...
Something like that would have probably imagine the thriller beginning. Of course, all asking: What does this have to do with World of Gothic?
not converging much and yet came to such a feeling.
silk few days, so now Arcania, Gothic 4, the alleged outside, and there was moderate test-expired and PR is moderate, defies description.
The few people who really remain steadfast, are mostly in the WoG forum to find. Less the user, much more than the mods and admins are the ones that form a strong line of defense. I
me for questioning the independence, a very positive Arcania-feel of a Jowood staff, have already captured a warning has been read so in the previous post.
A few days later, was now obvious that the opinion of this Jowood staff member was not independent was, for 90% of the posters in the WoG called arguments in the debate, which really was so great about Arcania. The answers about the employees of Jowood were either not to follow a slow, and when they came, they were to say the least, questionable Bishins too absurd. As was also not shied away from comparing the Grenzdebile Arcania-old story with RPG genre sizes, and provide additional channels better. Now, was quite openly what people thought about the opinion of the JW-worker: Not much. Me in the right feeling I pointed to the fact that I had been warned 2 days ago for what was now entered overt, but now no reprisals for others to be moved. Once again I was warned because I had allegedly insulted the mod. Surprising when one's own opinion is already enough to offend anyone.
spite of trying to talk reasonably with the mod, there was no scrutiny. The criticism was thus rather low, and there was not even considered that perhaps had been overreacting.
But the best was followed several days later. On the night of October 17, 2010th There were already a few days are rumors that left their employees Jowood fake 5-star reviews at Amazon, in order to boost the mediocre sales.
Personally, I found such behavior unbelievable. The faith and the Users' trust that they read a fairly neutral opinion of a Mitkunden was abused, and instead pushed them subliminal advertising was that as such was initially not clearly identify.
way more fun then a spokesperson and employee of a company that usually performs this type of Schleichwerrbung for other companies, and interfered in the discussion. Yes quite right, there are companies that set against money for other companies fake reviews and ratings. The times you have to let it melt on your tongue.
This spokesman said that he would not have known that JoWooD would have ordered them to spread at Amazon "fake" reviews. Doubt to these statements by the user there, of course, was great.
now came, as advertised, the "Big Mac". been
A clever user in another forum found a link written by the pseudonym under which name the 5-star rating, was an employee at JoWooD. This was rated the game not only highly questionable, backed that assessment almost not at all with arguments, no, he was also still the competing "Risen" bad.

I took up this name, because I felt people should know know. This was finally proof what was happening there, and Jowood himself had played us through carelessness that connection in his hands.
I posted this information, with links, so the WoG forum, and despite the very late time (to 0 clock), on a Saturday, there were strong reactions. The users were angry and shocked, some even get angry. In barely 45 minutes remaining 5 pages in one thread.
And now comes the amazing eigendlich:
The mods and the admins in WoG were the only ones who found this approach of Jowood-people in order, as to the accuracy of the content doubted or abwiegelten with the words "Oh, but everyone makes" the whole thing.
Shortly before the end of the fifth page, the thread was from flimsy grounds closed by the admins, and deleted a half hour later implied.
The Enlightenment in the WoG was over.
Dear reader,
what are we to make of it?
A similar behavior has been observed in any Gothic game from JoWooD to date there. The unfinished G3 was defended and even praised gradezu. Even Götterdämmerung was defended and approved as well. Warnings are issued for alleged libel, which are never for some, and a stout defense ring, consisting of mods and admins, Gothic surrounds each product of Jowood and their employees, like a thick perimeter plate.
may put more behind it? Is there anything in disarray? Does such behavior suggest that have World of Gothic as the page itself, and the mods and admins something to do with Jowood? If so, in what way, on which trains, and how deeply this connection could be?
Sets If all these pieces together, then one can not deny a certain trend: the systematic and often unsubstantiated defense against all logic, and sometimes against all fairness, Jowood of products and their staff against criticism from the user.
Is that weighed only a platform for further Jowood advertising? A mock fan site, the less the user and the fan, but rather has the benefit of Jowood and their products in mind?
It is a puzzle. A puzzle whose parts are in front of a that results but still no picture. It lacks a few corners, and 2 parts in the middle. Perhaps
will encounter in the future again resourceful users to connect, and then come full circle, and the truth comes to light open.
PS: I PERMIT courtesy of a user back up the 5 pages of threads before it was deleted. The people who would like to form an opinion myself, I like to put the deleted Thread in PDF form.
Update: Now that have
but some people asked for the PDFs, I put it in Rapid Share is available.
Here again my sincere thanks to the user in the forum, who saved with his caution that data.
Update 2: After
Rapidshare was quickly exhausted, I have stored the file to Media Fire with unlimited download.
