This is...odd. I mean, wow. A slash command to order a pizza. Is it too much to open the window and go to the site or to just call your local pizza hut?
I admit, it IS a funny idea, and I'm guessing that's what SoE is going for. Or that Pizza Hut paid em good money (and I can't blame them if they took it for something like this -- go SoE)

Yeah. I'm torn as to whether I should flame it or if I should just incessantly laugh at it.

I bet they are working on a command for that too
I've used rsvpizza.com before (pizza hut website) and it is quite handy. It used to give you a time 'til delivery window as well.

Funny, when I was in Dallas and addicted to EQ, I didn't have to leave my computer to do anything.
Got the shout to order pizza. Messaged roommates via EQ for their orders. Popped open website. Placed order. Answered confirmation phone call to give my CC#. When pizza arrived one of my roommate's PC was right next to the front door. He got the pizzas, distributed them, got my sig on the recipt and that was all.

I may try this sometime if I get bored/hungry... I don't think I live in a Pizza Hut delivery area, though... it's 15 minutes for me to drive to the closest one I know of.
If I even owned the game.... it would not be put to use.... it's a MINUTE away, if even. about 5 if walking.
now what would blizzrd do.... Dominos?
Weighing in, I have to admit that this leaves me realtively speechless. It's like an abstract work of art; it's either really cool or the saddest thing you've ever seen, and either way, you never want to hear about it again.

If I didn't know the command were real, I could swear this was a photoshop or something.. GOOD GOD. Seriously, what were they thinking? D: D:

Figured something like this was bound to happen. Was going through my e-mails and noticed that The Matrix Online will be AIM enabled. Your buddy list will exist IN the game. How much you wanna bet there will be hidden AOL guys here and there in the game. For that matter, I imagine there will be "product placements" in the game too.
Actually I haven't seen much product placement in the game so far. Then again I haven't been actively looking for any. I did see a green Alienware Aurora (I think) in an apartment though, so obviously there is some product placement. I took a screenshot of it and immediately lost it in the endless depths of my documents. Alberd fucked around with this message on 02-18-2005 at 03:18 AM.

Money, and it's going to work. It's a small stupid little feature that's going to end up being overlooked, and any embarrasment suffered as a result will be paid back, and I'm sure Pizza Hut will make some cash off this as well.
So, instead of typing /pizza, you could run or walk to the nearest pizza shop, talk to the NPC and order that way. Full immersion baby!

Read her posts in each of those threads linked in that thread. Some of them are just hilarious.

Finally, someone else who agrees that Papa John's is terrible. There is just something about sweet pizza sauce that I can't stand.
As far as the /pizza command itself, I think it's funny, but it will probably get some use by some players, it will earn Sony and Pizza Hut money probably, plus free publicity as the command gets discussed everywhere, so why not have it? Sounds like a win win all around.

Papa John's is great pizza! I can't stand Pizza Hut personally. Everything they cook tastes like ash.
You must have a shitty Pizza Hut, because I love the pizza from mine.
A nice hand-tossed pizza with Bacon, Chicken, and Canadian Bacon tastes like a little slice of heaven with pizza sauce from the bowels of angel tomatoes. The meat cut from pigs and chickens who have suckled from God's own teat.
Greatest pizza I've ever had.
