Hopefully other game devs will take lesson from the AoC fiasco and will know what not to do in the future. A cardinal rule for the business may be that you should never release trailers that are better than the actual game play. In addition the old addage "Don't write a check that your arse can't cash," applies. Never make promises you can't keep.
Back on top of what? On top of the worst games ever released? I doubt its better than VG, but I'm sure its better than Dark and Light.
Also, what does FC's stock price have to do with how fun the game is?
Have to asy that this thread is fantastic
You realy do need to chill out with the enthusiasm a bit tho OP hehe
But I would just like to point out that there is only one ILOVEFUNCOM acting the way he/she is, but there are many who are percieved exactly the same on the other side of the fence, yes you lot with the fail com logos... think about it
Core i5 13600KF, BeQuiet Pure Loop FX 360, 32gb DDR5-6000 XPG, WD SN850 NVMe ,PNY 3090 XLR8, Asus Prime Z790-A, Lian-Li O11 PCMR case (limited ed 1045/2000), 32" LG Ultragear 4k Monitor, Logitech G560 LightSync Sound, Razer Deathadder V2 and Razer Blackwidow V3 Keyboard
At least most of us on the other side use punctuation. I mean come on, you've got to give us this one!
Stock price is roughly an estimate of the way investors feel the game is going in terms of revenue generation. Bad price = not a lot playing, not a lot buying the game, and not a lot of future for the game.
I mean what is so hard about this? It is the worst game I have ever played, I must admit to be utterly bitter about this fact, as I wanted to play this game a long time. What a let-down.
I think you left out:
6. Dogs and Cats will live together in peace
7. There will be a cure for cancer
8. Aliens will land on Earth and teach us technology for interstellar travel.
9. There will be no more wars and all races and religions will live in harmony, singing kumbaya

Well played SIR. WELL played!
LMAO right when I saw this commercial I saw an ad saying Ya, Pirates Wouldn't Pay Either! and a bunch of numbers flailing....awsome so ya....eh I wish AoC was fun, I really did, but now after spending about 8hours total on my 2month card I just couldn't...
LMAO. These guys lied there socks off. Fans said no they didnt.. then Funcom comes clean and admits the truth HAHA. The game is great but you cant just lie to people over and over then act like nothing happen.. then say SOMEDAY the game will be done .. COME BACK. You can still sky rocket to lvl 80.. but 45-80 the quests get really thin. Servers are DEAD! Like people asking .. why is it dead on Fri night or ALL DAY Sat? So Protus (YES he works for FUNCOM) says.. its Fri night and people want to get out.. so Sat... well they worked all week and want to get out and do stuff. So Monday night .. well people worked all day and want to relax.. LMAO Pro had an excuse for EVERYDAY.. leaving no one to play. The game will never be what it should have been.
Graphics wise and the fighting I love AoC -WAR. But with WAR you get HUGH maps.. tons and tons of quests. You can to to the DWARF, ELF, HUMAN sides to do quests if you like. And RVR .. is just AWESOME.
For ME from beta till now. War KEEP their word and did NOT lie about anything. And is it a SMOOTH launch or what.
They have admitted the truth you see let me tell you about something I noticed. ERLING ELLINGSON was somewhat dishonest before but we know now that GAUTE was released before DRAGONCON and all of a sudden in the new HYBORIAN INSIDER that Erling was much more truthful which means the management took a new direction and that communication resulted in what is now a very successful PVP PATCH and thus we are starting to see the interconnected synergistic forces of FUNCOM come together very soon into release which bodes extremely well for the future.
I think the change in heart/communication could be described thus:
They reached the end of their rope, realized the Hype and PR wasn't working and they had no other way to go *but* start being more honest and up-front.
I wouldn't be so happy-go-lucky about the fact they're finally *starting* to do something they should have been doing all along - being truthful about the state of the game. I'd be asking why did it take the game nose-diving as far as it did for them to finally start.
Gamers, particularly MMO gamers, are not stupid, and even less forgiving. They catch every word you say, etch it in stone and will throw it back in your face months after you've forgotten even uttering them. Despite Gaute Godager's claim to the contrary, FC apparently didn't learn this from AO's release. They still figured they could string players along indefinitely without consequence.
So... Is it good that they finally seem to be on the right track? Sure. Is it time to break out the party poppers and pop open the victory champaigne, talking of FC's "return to the top"? I dont' think so.

I can understand you wanting to play WAR WAR does not look like a bad game although it depends on the type of gaming style you like if you like combat a bit more fast paced and twitch oriented you really cant beat AoC and not to mention fatalities add a random dynamic not only in terms of visuals but strategy and these are things which maybe WAR has or maybe it does not but the main consideration is what will WAR hold at later levels who knows maybe AoC will look more polished in hindsight.
Good thing you said "maybe". Before I played WAR I might give you the benefit of the doubt. After playing WAR I can say it will never happen. You say "WAR does not look like a bad game depends on the type of game style you like". Play style has nothing to do with it. WAR is simply a much, much better game. Now I am not saying WAR is for you or everyone for that matter. However WAR is in a different class then AoC.
This is not meant as sarcasm or an insult but I am curious. Have you played WAR yet? If you have not do yourself a favor and give it a try. In my scientific analysis of the games I would say there is a 90% chance you will play WAR and never think about AoC again. Remember I used science to get that figure. You know math and stuff like that. I even used a ruler with some numbers on it.
I am not trying to sell WAR in this thread. I bring up WAR since in my earlier post I mentioned WAR as the final thing to make me totally forget AoC. I saw enough unrealized possibilities with AoC but like I say earlier, you just can not expect people to wait in the current market for a game to mature. If AoC delivered I never would have even tried WAR.
That's a prety hefty bet, considering your talking to someone whose forum name is "ILOVEFUNCOM". How could he ever face them again if he went to WAR?
Off Topic: You know, eccoton, it's been over a year since I started playing LoTRO and the bear helm your character's wearing in your avatar still makes me want to punch babies.
(not literally of course)
