Am I allowed too? - Guild Wars Forums

OhhNoes · Sep 15, 2009, 04:53 PM // 16:53

Hey there!
I was wondering.
Am I allowed to say a guild wars 2 release date and be wrong.
Because in some games such things are bannable because it " spreading rumors".
Am I?

Eh.

You shouldn't give out release dates if you don't even have a clue or are uncertain anyway. Plus your thread will just get locked, don't think you'll get banned though. We've heard so many rumour release dates so, don't bother posting one unless you have a link to an official source such as ANet themselves. (NOT amazon or anything like that)

I was pretty sure. Alot of people said the same time of the year.
Then I looked at the Guild wars official site where was nothing stated (yet)

ll Jamie ll · Sep 15, 2009, 05:08 PM // 17:08

Yeah, if it isn't from ArenaNet themselves then i personally wouldn't believe anything anyone says.

I guess I'm just going to contact their support.
Any idea how long it will take for them to answer?

Dzjudz · Sep 15, 2009, 05:12 PM // 17:12

Sure you can tell us the release date, if you have a verifiable reliable source. If it's just something like "my friend told me someone told him that the release date is 2025" then it's probably not true

I bet they won't tell you that

Earth · Sep 15, 2009, 05:18 PM // 17:18

You can ask support but you shouldn't expect an answer except for "when it's done".

EDIT: Oh, nevermind.

No I mean contact them to ask if it can get me in trouble saying that false information about the release date

ll Jamie ll · Sep 15, 2009, 05:23 PM // 17:23

No you won't get into trouble, but never post anything that your unsure about anyway.

Kattar · Sep 15, 2009, 05:33 PM // 17:33

Lol. And where did you get such information?

Can't be banned for gossip, which is all this is. I assume you mean in game.

No, you can't be banned for spreading rumors in game.

Granted, I don't work for ANet, so I'm sure they reserve the right to do whatever they want.

OhhNoes · Sep 15, 2009, 05:54 PM // 17:54

Well I send them a ticket before I got the answer here, even twice. (bye accident: hope they don't mind)

Siirius Black · Sep 15, 2009, 07:13 PM // 19:13

Well, they have a release date. The only problem is that they wont share it with anyone until the date is close

majikmajikmajik · Sep 15, 2009, 07:43 PM // 19:43

..............Yes you are allowed to.... just dont be surprised if your thread gets closed.Besides that there's nothing for you to worry about.

Unless you go and open 50 threads about the release date each time the old one is closed.

Rushin Roulette · Sep 15, 2009, 09:03 PM // 21:03

I heard GW2 will be released 3 days after Duke Nukem Forever has been released... which will be sometime shortly after Final Fantasy 273 has gone live.

*Darcy* · Sep 15, 2009, 11:02 PM // 23:02

1. You can lie all you want in game. No one will ban you unless you swear, make racist comments or other similar things. Spreading rumors is not against the rules in GW.

2. You also won't be banned on guru for spreading rumors although you might get flamed.

OhhNoes · Sep 16, 2009, 10:23 AM // 10:23

Well I've learned from this. Won't ever spread anything again even if I assume its correct.
Thank you all also this was support told me the same things as you did.

Really thanks guys
