I hate these forums.

Over the last few days, the cesspit that is these forums has been clogged with so much nerd rage and bullshit its just astounded me, all over a $50 game... When my house got robbed and a shit load of my things stolen, I got over it in like a couple of days. Flaming on forums is just a pass time for losers, seriously if you dont like it get over it, no need to go on a crusade and spam all the forums cos the game isnt perfect. I dont know what you guys expected... so its missing some features... end of the world? No! Its still fun, possibly more fun then any other MMO (it is for me), and unfortunately it is a bit buggy, and unpolished, but you cant justify giving funcom and their fans this much slag... even if you dont like it at all... god.
This happens with every game, even WoW had squillions of nerds saying it was doomed, you say all this stuff and thousands of like minded forum trolls will back you up, but we'll see how this game pans out and if its a success I hope you learn your lessons and stfu. Or is it the other way round? Maybe I need to see the light and realise forums are just for the kiddies who cant afford the game or are evil fanbois of other games... sigh.

There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
Because it's much more fun to crack each other skulls

If you like the game, go play it. I can understand wanting to counter the hate on the forums so you can get more people to play the game you enjoy so much, but you're being counter-productive. Anyone who entirely decides anything based on these forums is foolish as its the stomping grounds of opinions extreme in either direction so relax, those who are curious will find a way to play (cough up the money, use a buddy key, etc) despite what the forums may say.

Its not about countering the hate to get more people to play it. Thats the mentality that other games have (more subz = the win) - It boils down to the fact, there are a hell of a lot of people posting here who have not played the game throwing their opinion around making out there know exactly what the game is like without first hand experience.
People should open their eyes and play for themselves to really see what its like, the question to ask yourself if your on the fence is, should I wait a few months and be sure, or is there a chance I could be really enjoying this game now or not.

Maybe they would play the game and then give their opinions if Funcom had a trial or buddy keys....

And the buddy keys will come first when server population allows. Old news? Thought it was.
Too many people playing it right now, im still having to get in a que on my server at peak times.
Giving buddy keys would scare people away when they play the game and realize its a payed beta test for the Xbox 360.
-------------------------
It's pretty much the dumbest excuse I've ever heard of not to give a trial. But I guess it's the only one they have since they can't claim it's to prevent overcrowding in the starting area. Instancing makes that not a problem.

Are they doing something for the game with the money we all paid? a million of copies shipped and they cant open more servers?
Oldest story in the book.
People enjoying themselves are playing,and for the most part on the official forums. People who aren't are here bitching, and misery loves company.
So if you are enjoying the game, don't spend too much time here.

So let me summarize: You're basically saying if Funcom doesn't give free trials then they should expect "reviews" from people that haven't played it? You almost make it sound like it's their duty if they are to expect "real" reviews.When WAR releases I'm not going to expect them to give the game to me for free so I can critique it. I will buy it like everybody else and then give my verdict.

lol Good call Bro...
did u play all those game in your sig at release? then u played "beta" too, ignorant orc ^^
MMOs currently playing: -
About to play: Lord of the Rings Online
Played: Anarchy Online (alltime favorite) and lots of f2p titles (honorable mentions: 9Dragons, Martial Heroes, Dekaron, Atlantica Online)
The only thing worse than flaming on a forum is flaming about someone who is flaming on a forum.
Pot meet kettle.

Dude! There are Orcs in AoC?!?!?! Sweet, totally gonna give it a try
It's a proven historical fact that beer saved humankind.
Two problems happen with low income MMOers - #1 their computers are garbage and they lack the resources to buy modern computer toy equipment and #2 an extra $50 box price or $15 subscription is many hours worth of their miserable job time... What happens when a kid can't afford to subscribe to two toys at the same time? They have to make a choice. People were originally drawn to WoW because it could be run on the computing power of my bread maker. Those are exactly the people that complain about the cost of toys.
Now what happens when that person must chose, ad remember, that person is so ego-linked to their old, outdated MMO that they can't unsubscribe... they go through a psychological justification!
They will convince themselves that the item that they cannot afford is really something they don't want anyhow. But they know that they are lying to themselves. This conflict causes resentment, resentment causes anger, anger causes them to come here and attack the thing that is making them feel small, insignificant and poor.
The low-income bracket MMOers have come and gone from AoC. And, if I am not mistaken, aren't the official AoC forum is reserved for subscribers?
Voila! Their self-hatred forces them to come to the free gaming forum and tell you how much fun you aren't having...
Pathetic little creatures.

Good Grief, WiccanCircle! I'm not sure if that last post of yours is filled with elitist snobbery or humourous armchair psychology! It was fun read, though.
