sorry but to all the fail com avatar posters...your credability is shot to pieces whenever i see that horrible brown image.
as for the expansion...i dont like the oriental side of AoC. i would have much rather seen the tropical jungles of the south
The Failcom symbol is Red and white. AoC must have burned out part of your retina since they only use shades of brown, white, green and blue LOL.
Actually shit brown is the official color of funcom.Its strange that they did go with red&white.Take a look at the date of this thread shit brown has been their favorite color for many years.
You guys need to understand that this isn't about the customers, it's about selling castle of air to their investors. The typical investor isn't a gamer. They'll see the polished 20 first level, not understanding what the big deal is about sieges, pvp, DX10. They are constantly kept in the future (expancion AoC, TSW, cheap browser mmo's). Funcom still have millions in reserve adn will probably stay alive for years to come.

How can they already be thinking expansion pack. Instead of adding new content now and fixing bugs to get and keep players they are thinking ahead. How arrogant are these guys and how dumb can they be?
Waiting to see later on more fleshed out features of this expansion pack.
Namely, if this expansion pack's "NEW FEATURES!!!11!!" were supposed to be in the original game to begin with!
The catch is that they'd want you to PAY for the "newly added" content and fixes.
"I have only two out of my company and 20 out of some other company. We need support, but it is almost suicide to try to get it here as we are swept by machine gun fire and a constant barrage is on us. I have no one on my left and only a few on my right. I will hold." (First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)
"The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, our only goal will be the western shore."
Age of Conan is sinking faster than the Titanic and has delivered none of its promised content from release, their stock is dropping at an incredible rate and half the mmorpg world hates them and their solution is... ninjas...

Funcom just released a game 3 months ago and they had the nerve to announce a new expansion that according to their staff, it should be released early 2009? These people are crying for customer retention. Seems that hyping an expansion won't cut it IMHO.
The only thing that can save this game is to offer the expansion for free as a download.

Funcom will have burned through their remaining liquid assets by then. They won't be able to pay for the bandwidth a free download would require.
Originally posted by Malickiebloo The elder testers ,core testers what ever you want to call them , Can't say anything about what they've seen. That's my point , Why so defensive about a fact ? you would think I said Warhammer sucks because AOC sucked ,I didn't . It just worries me, Not to mention no mass testing of anything past tier 2 . AOC was worse in the secrecy department that's obvious , however I've never joined an open beta that I couldn't play the whole game in . I asked about endgame and was told only elders know anything about that and they can't answer those questions.Then the thread was drowned in a thousand this is the best game EVA!!! posts .Pardon me for letting people know what I was told.
European beta testers have been testing T4 for weeks now with rank 31 templates. Destruction sieged Altdorf last night. Unsurprisingly it was buggy. Praag is great. It's not like these are some big secrets.

I find it funny how all the AoC fans want Warhammer to fail because their game is a joke.

Here's a good, hilarious example:
+ Introduce Barroom Brawling!
+ New PvP Ranking System!
+ Exciting, massive player vs player Sieges!
+ Brand new, glamorous DirectX 10 graphic support!

Yeah Mythic should lift the whole NDA so there can be endgame boss strategy guides on the web before the game is even launched.
You people are funny.
Why does every AoC discussion involve WAR? Sorry guys, but no matter what happens to WAR, AoC still blows monkeys. Deal with it.

Funcom: "AoC really is fun! It's the greatest!"
Player: "Really? Ok!"
SLAP
Player: "Thank you sir may I have another?!"
SMACK
Player: "Thank you sir may I have another?!"
SLAP
Player: "Hey, that's really not much fun!"
Funcom: "Buy our expansion, it's great!"
Player: "Ok, that sounds like fun!"
SLAP
Player: "HEY!"
Funcom: "Succcckaaaa!"
Fool me once Shame on you Fool me twice Shame on me.
I won't be making that mistake.

That's just sad, really.

Wow. Amazing. That takes a lot of balls to leak info about an expansion when the core game is about 1/10th of a finished game.
LOL.
Is Funcom even going to be solvent in 2009? Their stock price is going faster than Lindsay Lohan in a dyke bar.
