Funcom hates poor people

How dare they put good graphics in their game.  People with 10 year old pc's can't play.

 

They should make everything look like crap so they get more money (O.o).

    They should wrap up AoC inside of the Ultima Online graphics engine :)

    Better yet you should be able to play on paper.

    Why not throw in some rubber banding for good measure, and call it a game feature?

    "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

    As sarcastic as your post is, be careful what you say and hope Funcom's investors don't read these forums....

    Far too advanced for my Univac 1.  I might have to upgrade.

    I have a computer that is 14 months old. I'm not going to spend 200 or 300 euros to upgrade, just to try to play a game I don't even know I will like.

     

    Much less buy and install Vista (I know it's not requiered, but still if you don't have it you are missing something)

    I like having an excuse to buy the stuff I wanted anyway. Besides I would have spent it on beer anyway.

    After bills and gas I have around $200 left over every Pay Day(Twice a Month). I don't currently have a Gaming Computer.

    I decided to start saving for one around the 1st of May. I have spent absolutely no money on anything but bills and gas, and have not driven anywhere other than back and forth from home to work since then. By tomorrow evening I'll be able to order this CPU: www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx, 2 more GBs of RAM, and a nice 22'' LCD Monitor. I won't be able to buy AoC until the 23rd, but I usually buy my games a couple of day post-release.

    Obviously I am not only relying on my Pay to be able to afford all this, but with my Stimulus Check($433) and just a tiny bit of Credit Card debt I have been able to save up enough for a decent Rig in less than a month. By June I'll have all my CC Debt paid off and will be looking at getting a better Graphics Card.

    All I really had to sacrifice was GTA:IV for another month or so.

    Awe, i'm sure funcom cares, Maybe if you write them a letter they will make an exception just for you.

    Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

    This is a sequence of characters intended to produce some profound mental effect, but it has failed.

    LOL, good answer.

    I especially hate poor people. Last halloween I setup a "hot dog drive" for the homeless, and poisoned all the hot dogs. Let's just say those bastards had a rough four days of diarrhea.

    The OP was a troll in and of itself. The thought behind it might have been relevant in some other posts had it been stated a different way but I agree with Moo (or however M is pronounced in his world..I thought my eyes were bugged when I read the name ;))
