BB, Please correct the spelling of "Sematary"

[kkere]

This really bothers me. I don't know if BB and Ubisoft were trying to make a reference to Stephan King's Pet Sematary, but if so it isn't very apparent since not much else about the Halloween Event has anything to do with King. In my honest opinion, it makes Blue Byte look bad, and as an effect, those of us who play the game look bad too. It looks like someone googled "sematary," found Pet Sematary, and said "yeah, that must be correct."

Please change the spelling to "Cemetery."

Actually, i believe it is an intentional homage to Stephan King; based on comments in other places.

From the movie Pet Sematary a child spelled it that way in the pet cemetary in the main character's backyard (right next to the Indian Burial ground).

Comments by BB? Can I get an official to weigh in on this? If this was intentional I'd like to know why they chose to reference just the spelling and none of SK's characters or stories.

Go to The Settlers Online Facebook page. They have a poll asking from which author this spelling comes from.

Good grief, delusions of grandeur much? They're supposed to change the spelling because it bothers YOU? With all the issues the game's had of late, and you think they should take time out to change the spelling of a word they intentionally chose, because it bothers you?

Wow. Just. Wow.

Tee hee hee.

I'm surprised this doesn't bother everyone!

I don't have facebook so i can't verify that, but if that's true at least now I know it was intentional. I sure wish they would explain why they chose to reference just the spelling though and none of Stephen King's amazing characters or stories.

It is correct. dictionary.com
