Everquest 2, now with pizza!

Post by McNum »

This is one of the strangest ingame commands I've seen yet in an MMO.

/pizza

Basically it lets you order a real pizza while playing the game. I'm not sure if this is cool or scary... I'm leaning towards scary, though.

Hah! That's great. Every MMOG needs that, I think.

It took me a minute to realize that was serrious, or at least it looks like it and isn't terribly surprising.

I'm glad I found an online game that's good without containing crack.

Heh, that's actually pretty neat, and really a brilliant marketing decision.

Maybe Blizzard should have a similar tie-in with Papa Johns or Dominos or such.

Unfortunately they have not yet implemented the /goodpizza command, so you must settle for Pizza Hut.

hmm. now only if there were a /stripper and /cheeseburger command, i'd actually consider trying everquest out.

I think there are technically strippers and even prostitutes (sort of) in the game, but you still have to pay for it. ;)
