No, im not tired of AoC i love it, what im tired of is all the players/ex-players complaining about it and saying "I convinced all my guildees to leave AoC and wait for WAR" you know what, No one knows! how do you know WAR wont suck? Have you played it? Have you even seen it? No. so just shut up. Wait until its out and then judge it, Most people were hyped for AoC, we saw Videos,Screens almost every month/week same with WAR, Yet AoC has bugs, and alot of people hate it, so whos to say WAR wont suck.

What are you afraid of my friend? That the truth might be revealed? Well it sure sounds like it, because if it was a lie, why would you even bother to think that it would have any kind of power to it?
Im not worried about fanbois, im worried about Funcom!

First no MMO before and I have high hopes that no MMO after the AoC fiasco could possibly be as bad as AoC, even Vanguard was better than this at launch and it was bad.
Secondly I know people playing the War beta and all I have heard is how much better it is than AoC (not that that surprises me in the least) and how polished it is already with over amonth before release.
Any game released in a half working state is better that AoC considering it is missing half of the game and the massive amounts of bugs on top of that make AoC at best a 1/4 of a game.
Funcom should be hung for the massive lies they put out about AoC to get people to buy it. And they should be ashamed to charge $50 for that kind of garbage.
No I haven't played WAR but I have played AOC and it blows. I've never played a game that couldn't hold my attention for more than 2 weeks. AOC is so bad that even if you like it you won't have much to do in about 6 months because the sub base is dropping close to the 100k mark and Failcom won't have the money to finish their beta game. So we all wish you luck but at the same time we all know you are heading down a dead end road, sorry dude. We all wanted AOC to be great and we all got lied so yes we will come in here and let everyone know how we feel about it, sorry about that too.

AoC is a poor MMO. That has nothing to do with WAR - nothing at all.
It's quite possible that WAR will also not live up to its hype. AoC, however, has already failed in that department, and FC only has itself to blame for that. It has nothing to do with WAR.

Oh shut up, you're just mad because your game wasn't the WoW killer like you fanbois claimed it was gonna be.
WoW = 1
AoC = -infinity
no, im not a fanboy, I play other games as well and you dont see me anything, i dont care if WoW is killed by a Game, every game dies eventually, so why dont you shut up.

The lies were not massive, they said there will be a lot of things, but if any of you played early access and actually read the notes, it says they're going to "try" to fit everything it at launch

I don't care how you word it the fact remains Funcom maniupulated everything about the release to maximze their income from broke assed POS excuse for a game and screwed us over. Add to that the terrible customer service and horrible patches that have broken more than they have fixed.
I was greatly looking forward to AoC(Even bought a brand new PC for it). I greatly enjoyed it for 2-3 months. One day I just didn't feel like clicking the Game Icon on my desktop. After a week of this I decided to cancel(for now). I still think AoC was a great leap forward for MMOs. I still think the combat system was the best yet. If I had to choose one reason to explain why I quit playing, I'd have to say the lack of any real risk(even on a PvP Server). Of course this is the same reason I stopped playing WoW or SWG. My problem appears to be with MMORPGs and not with AoC.
For a week leading up to release, and for the entire time I spent playing the game, I refused to come to these forums. I had thought I'd be able to come here for answers about gameplay, to discuss my likes and dislikes, and maybe even find some friends to play with in-game. Sadly, all I found here were people who spent most of their day bad-mouthing the game and bad-mouthing Funcom. I decided to not ask my questions because I knew the majority of replies would be negative. I honestly don't care that they had their own opinions, it just bothered me that they all gathered here and wouldn't leave. In fact, they are still here months after I quit! What truely makes this sad is that all these people are not really "trolls" by the normal definition. A lot of them make intelligent posts, fair arguements, and use facts to back up their opinions. They just don't leave and make room for those who enjoy the game and want to use the forums for their intended purpose. These people have corrupted these forums and given MMORPG.com quite a black-eye in my opinion. Now I understand the reason why people are banned for giving their opinions on the official forums for many MMORPGs. When you do this kind of stuff you are not show your disdain to the developers, you are just showing disrespect to your fellow gamers and MMORPG fans.
i am in the WAR beta so I am bound by NDA. However, I always play two MMOs at a time. It is AOC and LOTRO currently. That way I don't rush to max level and get bored. I will still be playing AOC but will probably change to WAR for the different gaming experience.
These forums have gone way past overkill on the AOC hate mongering but that is simply my opinion. I have stopped reading alot of posts due to the extreme, nearly irrational hatred, that has developed, warrented or not in some level it seems over the top.
Anyway, I am not an AOC fanboi but I do love MMOs and I enjoy AOC quite a bit.

I think you heard this before, but you should give a try to EVE Online. There's the best PVP system.
I still love AoC as does many of my guildies. There are bugs but hell LOTRO has had a AH bug for a while now that is doing bad things to the ecomony. Games have bugs. I will fulyl admit AoC should not have been released and I hope people learn from this but to slag a game as readily as it is here seems a bit much. I took in all the reviews here and still bought the game. Now we have a good guild and its growing. If the game becomes a steaming pile, like the game that will remane nameless cu/nge, then I will stop playing just like that game. But for now its fun, let us that have fun play. Hell its worth the money for the first 30 levs anyway imho.

So basically what you are saying is that you undestand why MMO forum moderators ban people for telling their viewpoint? I dont consider telling your viewpoint, spam. However, the posts get locked once they contain any negative viewpoints about AoC. Freedom of speech for the folk, not..
They could have just written on the back of the box "Any negative viewpoints concerning AoC, will get your account banned. We dont indulge freedom of speech. Thank you for your understanding".

Well another way to look at your view on the how people truly feel about the game is maybe the majority of people have legitimate grievances with AOC and they expressing there opinion?
Go to Gamespot ,Ten Ton Hammer ,Ign Vault and WarCry Networks and see the AOC forums there...same general message ...anomosity and frustration towards the game

I'm still optimistic that no other game can ever SUCK as bad as AOC has, even Vanguard had more promise than this.
And considering the classes in War actually sound interesting unlike AoC where I couldnt find one that sounded fun thats a big step up.
These forums are for discussion of games, the good, the bad and as in the case of AOC, the ugly.
Sure, every game gets bashed in these forums, but there is a difference in order of magnitude. AOC is truly such as smoking pile that there is a resounding hatred of the game across the membership.
If you want everything all rosy, head to the AOC forums, where they'll moderate away any negativity and you can be happy.

It's become a bit of a fad to hate Age of Conan. There are probably people who have never played it who are posting negative comments about it :P
Some of the flak that Age of Conan has received is justified but I think in general people have been a little harsh towards the game. It really is not that bad and still has potential. Anarchy Online was much worse at release but I played about 2 years after release and had a pretty enjoyable time there. Then again, everyone is different and everyone has a right to voice their opinions so go ahead Nice to see someone with the balls to defend it though.

I'm tired of this too AoC is the worst failure ever of an MMO (even Vanguard had good qualities at launch). As for wahmmer there is no way posible it can be worse than AoC.
Mythic is a good reputable company that had great success with DAOC (never palyed it personally but many of my friends did). If they can just launch a game that is stable at launch and works as stated (no empty promises of massive PVP will be in next week for months) they will already have beaten AOC to a pulp which has yet to deliver on any promise they have given us.
