Age of Conan will die before WAR releases, and WAR will just step on its lifeless corpse.
and what makes you think that WAR isn't gonna "fail" aswell? im sure aoc will become the good game we waited for, in time.. like most outher mmos ive tried.. (same goes with war, if it "fails")
wow --> when wow released it did not have any pvp balance, it did not have battlegrounds or any kind of rank system (now it has becomed a e-sport)
lotro --> so mutch buggs at release that you almost could't walk anywhere without walking into an invisible wall.. (i hated this game, it whas one of the worst games i had ever tried! Now its my favorite game)
i still think that aoc can become what it whas intended to be, i have seen it before that flops become quality..

Now thats funny...as LOTRO is regarded pretty much unanimously as the best launch ever for a mmorpg
People shouldn't be so ignorant. A lot of people ARE canceling. It isn't just a flavor of the month thing this time, Funcom is NOT doing a good job handling this game and people are angry. Rightly so.
I love fanboi irony, quit vanguard: it's an unfinished piece of crap, omg we're paying for beta, etc
quit AoC: you never gave it a chance, it's still new.
Grouping in Old school mmo's: meeting someone at the bar and chatting, getting to know them before jumping into bed. Current mmo's grouping: tinder. swipe, hookup, hope you don't get herpes, never see them again.
I love fanboi irony, quit vanguard: it's an unfinished piece of crap, omg we're paying for beta, etc quit AoC: you never gave it a chance, it's still new.
I know 37 people that bought AoC, 31 of them pre-ordered, 6 picked it up on the day of release.
6 still play the game. So I wonder how much of the disappointment in this game was caused by the Hype? This is a question I have been asking on almost every game I have bought recently and been disappointed with. What made this game a let down? Well a lot of the time, I realize, the game just didn't live up to the hype.
So I am wondering, if I just ignore the next game development, and just see a new game on the shelf and buy it...what will happen? Might be the best game I have ever played? Because i wasn't expecting it to be any good!
I still think this is going to be a good xbox360 game! it will take them a year to release it on the 360, and by then it will not only be polished, but might just be good!

Not sure about it being the best, but it was certainly most excellent. Besides some little annoyances (not being able to search properly in the AH, etc). LOTRO was flawless at launch.
(actually it was close to flawless in CB as well when I joined). Not saying there were 0 bugs, but there was no gamebreaking bug anywhere, no performance issues, and no major balance issues (which is not a big deal anyway as its's a PVE game).
Still happy to see alex-core loving it today - i can truly understand why

Denial makes one look a lot dumber than he/she actually is.
I canceled as well. After the last patch I keep getting lag spikes and the bar goes into the red about every 15 minutes. Allot of people are having this problem in guild and we were all waiting for today's patch to fix it but it didn't in fact it made it worse.
Really wanted this game to be the one but sadly it's not. I was expecting a real unique pvp game and what we got was the same stuff you find in every other MMO.
Not all is lost cause I found somebody to buy my account so at least I'm not out anything.
Maybe in about a year it will be a good game who knows but funcom needs to communicate more and not treat their customers like SOE does. If they think by removing threads and banning accounts is going to fool anyone maybe they should look at how well it worked for SOE with SWG/NGE.
I just don't think I'll buy the next game if I even play one right away but instead wait a year after it's release. I just think MMO's have taken a turn for the worse and it'll eventually hurt the industry as a whole.
For those that want to try it then role a Necro. If played right it can be allot of fun in pvp. Ranger is also good if you like griefing people because of the tracking skill. TOS is a great all around class for pvp and pve even though they keep nerf'n it. Barbarian is great at lower levels but suck at 50-60 then become very good in the 70's. Never played a demo but they have a ton of spike dmg along with Guardian.
I ended up with 2 lvl 80's which is very easy to do in this game especially if you have higher levels mentor you but as of today that was nerf'd. My TOS was very fun and very fast to lvl and still is a great all around toon if you do the feats right. My Barb is also lvl 80 and is crazy to play in pvp right now with his temp. My ranger is only 50 but still fun to hunt people and my POM is lvl 50 as well but kind of boring to play.
If your into healing and like pve some pvp then do bear shawman. If you lvl one of these everyone will want you in raid. All around best healer.
Anyway I'm basically quitting because of the way funcom is handling the game and don't seem to have a real sense of direction for what the game should be. I think they got lost trying to put in too much to satisfy the pve crowd and forgot to finish the stuff they said they would have for pvp and left the pve stuff half done. I'm sure they are working on it but right now the game is for me boring. Might return in a 6 months to see if they find a direction.
Well folks, welcome to the cancel club, enjoy your stay.
will do. Enjoyed it when SWG went to crap. Enjoyed it when D&L went to crap, Enjoyed it when Vanguard went to crap (actually might try that one again) and now AOC. I'm sure in a year I'll be enjoying it when WAR hits the skids but who knows maybe it'll be a good game.
I cancelled as well. Not because of the bugs or the missing features, I cancelled for one reason.... It wasn't fun for me. Bugs and missing features I'm used to with MMOs. Lord knows it happens alot with newly released MMOs. The first 20 levels of AoC were ok and some of the quests were good. But I wasn't really happy with the classes, and the game is too melee focused for my tastes. So, if you're enjoying it then more power to you. It just wasn't right for me. In fact due to my disappointment with AoC, I've decided the following: - Never preorder a MMO again - Never buy a CE edition - Never play a new MMO until the reviews are in This had to be one of the games I looked forward to the most... only to be disappointed by the game itself.
I agree that AoC could have been alot better.
Can anyone mention some "respected" gaming sites that have given AoC a bad/mediocore review? I would really like to read those reviews. Just as I will be looking for reviews on just-released mmo's on such sites in the future.

I still get a bad shiver when I read the paragraph from the paid shill review of GameFocus :
"This game is massively superior to "World of Warcraft" and "Lord of the Rings Online" and other current high rated MMORPG’s in many ways and should be a game to pull players of all types to it if they are willing to give it a chance"
Those guys should be banned forever from any criticism. The most blatant paid advertising ever seen
I think I'll throw up.

i love this game personally. i didnt watch the development stages of the game tho so i dont know what was "promised" to be in game when it launched..... can some people state some of the things Funcom said would be in game that isn't. All i keep reading is game sucks i left and funcom is stupid and things like that. so please post what the company lied about

Honestly in "my opinion", whats wrong with the game are the folks with the keggers of haterade. The game has bugs yes yes yes, have heard it over and over, I honestly can't verify 1/2 the complaints, only because I haven't xperienced it, I have 2 lvl 80s, I have seen very very few of the many problems other people claim the game has, maybe I am just lucky, *Shrug. Are there latency problems? Yes, hopefully they will address those in a future patch, but the latency issue doesn't occur that often that you can't play at all.
Then you got my favorite people, I like to just classify them in a group we will call "Funcom Promised us blah blah blah". They will list 100s of things Funcom promised them, things ranging from "awesome pvp structure -to- BMW's -to- 4 nights and 3 days in Bermuda -to- 3 months of Japanese massages"
Anyways my "opinion" is this I think people should play whatever game they choose, whatever game makes them happy, as long as they try out "this" and "any other" game and form their own opinion without quickly jumping aboard the "Hate it because the guy above me says it sucks" train.
A lot of people bought AoC, even if the game was released perfect, all singing all dancing there would still be thousands of people who would not have liked it, a lot of these peeps are under the impression that it is the buggy incomplete game that makes them not like it.
At a guess out of the people who cancelled their accounts, 80% would have cancelled anyway and only about 20% would have stayed if the game was perfect.
And out of those 20% (those that cancelled because of bugs and content) i bet that 90% of them would have come directly from WoW without having expereienced any other MMO before.

WoW insult? I am eluding to the perfectness of WoW and which then makes these people think that all games can instantly attain the same level.
So it is infact high praise for WoW. Maybe you should take some lessons in basic comprehension.
PS: if the trolls are going over the same problems again and again, why cant the fanboys use the same defense over and over!

I like and hate AoC at the same time. The only reasons i still play till this moment is I paid 80 bucks for it and Im kinda force feeding my self to play it in hopes for it to turn into something i can stomach. The game is fun at first but then it fizzles. It is missing that hang out factor to it. coh you have atlas park, swg you have the cantinas, MxO had those nice clubs to hang out in and have fun in. What the heck is my drinking cape for? its also missing the /duel command i would like to spar with friends to try different things out. well i dont know maybe just maybe it will get better I will keep my hopes up
