I'm one of the unlucky who can't get to the forums. Says I don't have permission (can't even get read access) even though I: a. registered with my normal code (not just the preorder code) b. set up my forum account c. waited over 30 mins (actually I've waited over 24 hours now) d. paying subscriber For those of you who actually got on the forums: are they fielding any technical support questions on there? For example, the CD install is throwing me an error (yes, my anti-virus is turned off and this is on XP. The same CD install on my Vista box gave me no errors, go figure). Has anyone else on the forums mentioned this?
Also, the forums over there arent nice and civil (not in the General Discussion forums); ony of the developers had to sticky about people not listening to the mad playerbase.
Can you rephrase this a bit? The sentence is kinda confusing.
Most of us on the dev team have been playing the game, and its been nice to see the different things people talk about on the OOC channel and hear peoples feedback.
Sure there are issues, sure there are things we wanted to achieve that we were not able to for initial release. But we still have plans for the game.
Currently the forums tend to be a very bad snapshot of the game community as a whole. Especially during a turbulent time like an MMO launch, people are far more likely to go and vocalize negative opinions then they are positive ones.
So if you are sitting here reading the forums and maybe have not gotten your copy installed, patched ready to go or played yet I encourage you to not lose hope and hang in there while you try the game for yourself. My personal play experience the people having fun outnumber the people complaining currently probably a good 10-20 to 1 ratio, and that's on a PvP server where most the complaining is about getting ganked anyway.
Age of Conan is not for everyone, and we never said "Hey we want to be a WoW killer" that was never our goal. We hope you enjoy the game and we will continue to make it better for you the fans.

Don't let the reading the forums get you down.
