World of Warcraft fans driven to Blue Room site
(old news - 10:30AM Sunday Apr 08 2007)
tags: fun · gaming
In the interest of driving online gamers to their Blue Room site, AT&T has signed a deal with Vivendi games to offer free two-week trials of World of Warcraft to new users. Blue Room is not just a gaming portal, it’s “a marketing portal for AT&T's branded high-speed Internet, wireless, voice and digital video services”. The hope for Vivendi is that new gamers will get hooked on the multi-player online game while the hope for AT&T is that Blue Room users will buy more of the company’s broadband products. And gamers get a couple of free weeks of playtime, so everyone wins, right?

Re: say what?

I thought I read an article before where basically every comment was Anti-Vivendi.

I fail to see why they would want to market a product where your pings are excessivly high compared to the other providers.

On top of that, what advantage does this "blue room" give you? Besides 2 weeks of free gaming. They give those out on the WoW site, and even in the retail boxes. More then likely you know someone with wow, and they might not have thrown away that trial key.

just my .02

Re: say what?

You don't even need a friend to have a trial key. Last I saw you could still just download a free trial off of fileplanet.

Tell that to the 8.5 million people who don't think it sucks. I hate to say it, but you seem to be in the minority of people 'who thinks it sucks'.

BTW, what exactly do you consider a real game? I certainly hope you don't say something like counter-strike. I hope you say something more along the lines of Farcry, BF, etc.
