I was on Facebook today and saw an advert for what looked to be a Facebook RPG game that was a little more…complicated (read: interesting) than the standard Facebook casual game fare, that rests mostly on your still in Bugging Friends with a specialization in Multi-Level Marketing.
So I clicked the link for Wings of Destiny (A NEW FACEBOOK RPG! – read the tagline) with a picture of a full on character screen with what appeared to be stats and inventory (which is what got my attention in the first place). After clicking “no” to the inevitable – “O hi guyz, can we has your information?” question, I was taken to the game’s main page. Where I saw this:
Yes..fight hordes of demons, use your vast powers for good, find you soul mate! I tell you, its only a matter of time before we see MATCH.COM: THE RPG in development. Probably by SOE. Those guys will try anything once.

Dang! And I’ve already found my soulmate. 😐
I know right? This may be a little copycat deal. I’m pretty sure Tera Online already hosts in game bikini beach parties lol…
Your first mistake was being on Facebook.
I have found and maintained relationships with friends I hadn’t seen or been able to find in over decade with Facebook. And they have never charged me a dime for that. So if they want to advert crummy games, they get a great deal of leeway from me.
That’s cool. I discovered fairly quickly that I had little in common with old high school buddies, etc., after that initial “hooray!” of reconnecting. I only maintain an account now for family.
