As a person not in on the joke, I find this official redname post to be misleading at best.

I'm trying to play through ME1 and then ME2 again to prepare a new character for ME3... but the CoX just keeps pulling me back! And now I22 imminent! Gah!

Even if there was no joke, is it that hard to understand a redname stating that I22 is getting really, really close to release to rekindle a bit of excitement?

What else could this post honestly lead you to believe?

Is ME3 2 disks or 3 on the 360? That's 60-90 minutes of installation that I guess could go to CoH.

While I look forward to i22 there are still many things that I think need to be tested.

Oh I see. The burden is on me to read the thread and see what the joke is, and not on Zwill to justify thumping the aquarium glass, or whatever it was. Which characters do I use for the GG smiley? That always seems to calm everyone down.

I thought it was an evening server publish when I saw the official thread. I will keep in mind to only look to the announcements, which didnt mention a publish, in the future. My bad.

Not AFAIK, the only ones affected are GAME.co.uk and their stores. I read they are pretty much bust and were negotiating a merger deal with Gamestop.

It must be a different Gameplay you mention, but I ordered through Gameplay.co.uk, I got a reassuring email to my inbox and this is posted on their site;

Gamestation.co.uk offer the same fantastic value and service that made Gameplay so great, so you'll be in safe hands - they really know their videogames!

Please note that any preorders you have with us that are released before the 30th of April 2012 are totally safe, and will be despatched to you as normal. If you wish to check on or adjust any outstanding orders with us, please email our Customer Service department who will be happy to help.

We've really enjoyed being part of the gaming landscape for the last decade or so, and we'd like to say a big thank you to everyone who has shopped with us over the years.

Thanks from us all,

The Gameplay Team

...and on a CoH-related matter, I do believe that Gamestation Wycombe was where I did accidentally discover a certain 'City of Heroes' way back in 2005, so I have them to thank / blame [insert as appropriate].

Ah! Now we have something for Tuesday in the announcements. Wish the posts had been inverted in time order. But it was fun counter-trolling the OP.

Game and Gamestation are both one and the same (GAME own Gamestation), I never mentioned gameplay..... (I *DID* mention Play.com however!)

Gamestation Wrexham for me, where i was working at that point in time, and even 7 years ago, PC gaming was relegated to a small section of an already small store.
