Well they listened now. But you need to stop using blanket statements encompassing everyone as a whole which is simply not the case.
This game gave me a serious diaper rash. I'm so glad I was able to clear it up by canceling my account.

Pezz, you really have too much time at your hands. Nice review, but whats wrong about saying I like the game....period..
nope its 1/10.
i can make up imaginary numbers too. knock it down to .05/10 since thats about how much of what they promised they delivered out of the box -nazi customer service/forum mods.
Just face the facts..this game suxx..
I had fun with it up to level 40 but then it died when i entered my first instance

Why werent these folks banned? They are on the forums complaining about the fact they didnt get gold back for having their armor taken away.... They should have been banned.
I was a pretty big fan of the game throughout beta, preordered and was in the fron line of the cheerleading fanbois for the first 14 days or so of live. Then the patches started to wear on me, breaking tons more than they were fixing and not fixing anything that I felt was really needing to be fixed. Finally the lies got to me and I began to tire of it all, and I canceled. I vowed not to come back but I definitely enjoyed reading about the game for the past 5 months while playing other games.
My interest piqued again when I read about the changing of the guards
Since then I have been reading about the game every few days to see what's going on, and I am about a coin flip away from checking things out for a month...
I am lucky enough to have another 2 mmorpgs that I absolutely love, so there is no rush for me to jump back in... although I would love for FC to turn this thing around because the concept was awesome and the game was unique in many ways imo.
Take your time, AoC and the community is fine. Be however aware of that once your get back this time you will fall in love for a loooong time. AoC is getting very streamlined now.
What is Streamlined about it? (Do you mean less of the 'bothersome' content than was advertised at launch??) Please enlighten us.
streamlined is the anti-thesis of complexity, so I guess you may have a point.

Streamline is an expression thats often used in engineering when something goes smooth as hell from A to Z. When I use it about AoC, it means the product is solid. A Charater starting in Level 1 will be tutored and guided through Tortage up to level 20 as part of very entertaining gameplay, before starting on the rest of the game where now PvP consequences, Quests, itemization and other content has been added, as well as features, characters, bosses, have had a fair amount of tweaks and been balanced to a point that the gameplay flows very natural. Quests pop up at the right rate as do other challenges. Performance is top, animations are smooth.... Blablabla... Do you understand what streamlined mean now. It means, in spite of AoCs inherrent complexity, is a smooth fun ride for anyone joining. Feel free to ask again if there are words that confuse you.

I think it is safe to say that this game is ready for even the most picky guy now.

I see your point, the game is very 'streamlined', it takes the average player 2-5 weeks to hit the level cap......
....... and find out there is no end game.
Glad to see that there are some intelligent responses in this thread. It really surprised me. I was expecting more posts like what we se just above my post here.
hope.
Too bad they are made by the same 2-4 fanboys on a holy crusade. Yes the movement to spread lopsided information is quite streamlined.
the topic of the thread actual did made me laugh in real life, epic troll thread 10/10.
If this game earns a 10 out of 10, so why did all the members of my guild leave and several servers are empty now? None of them left because of the bad comments in mmorpg.com.
Maybe their wives and kids pleas, not to spend all their free time to grind from level 20 till 80 :P
I give 10 out of 10 to the fanboy who wrote that `advertisement`, for valiantly defending a game even its `captain` abandoned (I cannot even recall his name, what was the name of the rat/captain who left his place in funcom?).
Thanks for referring to me as valiant, but I am not really valiant in any way. I am quite superficial and I tend to ridd myself with new games quite fast. Anyway back on topic, I have not claimed at any point that you didn't have a sub 10/10 experience with AoC at launch or through this summer. Actually, I have no idea how AoC was at launch and I am not trying to speculate at that either. What I am saying however, as a new player, is that I joined like 4-5 weeks ago, and I think this game is really awesome. Again I speak of the game the way it stands now. Some fun shit!!
Well said. Though thesedays i do wait for player reviews to come out now about games. A 4 person applauding the game and 40 cursing the game says to me loud and clearly, to stay away from it, at this moment in time, take another look 6-12mths down the line, if its still got the same feedback from whatever players are left (or low server populations then that also says the same thing, stay away from it.

Yes make sure we all stay away from the game because ManeStream has consolidated the number of negative MMO posts versus the number of possitive MMO posts
. I challenge you ManeStream, round up a list over all people that have played AoC after 17th of Sep and see how many that are willing to paint you that doom Picaso you so badly crave. I am very sure you by fare will get most + reviews. Finally when you run your 4 vs 40 thing, does Lumache, Orzo, Cuda69 or any of those other 20 MMORPG personalities which that crazy AoC hater post count as one poster or as +20? If not, I think you need to reconsidder your method. In my opinion, the best thing to do, is to find people that currently play the game and get their opinion based on real play. It's just going to be another opinion, but it is ten times better than what you suggest.
Things lumache says actually make sense. I usually agree with him. I suggest you try read his posts sometimes instead of attacking him or others personally. I know it pisses you off that 90% of people left your game but don't worry, it's all going to be over soon and you can move on.
Oh and I think AoC is a very mediocre game. I easily give it 6/10. For pvp I give it 5/10.
You usually agree with him?? lol, your joindate was after he left or got banned from this forum. How well do you know him really ?
I don't know him personally but I've read many of his posts. By the way, why are you always obsessed with join dates? You think that is real life "character level" or something?
Join date tell very much about a poster. In particular when a guy have been in MMORPG in 2 days and posted +50 AoC related posts all of the very very doomish, in a way that reveals that there is no interest at all from the posters side to discuss the game. It's posting driven my other agendas.
This is why I take note of join dates. Also another thing. Typical hyperposters, like yourself, also seem to appear in this forum when other hyperposters Vanish. If I was to pull my tinfoil hat on I would say lumache that got banned about the 29th of October now has reappeared as the russian/finish poster Polikarkov.
Do you do it for the fanboys/viral marketers as well because looking at your date and commets......Oh never mind its just too easy.
If all of you who claim to love the game really do you would be well serverd to get people like this out of here. Their over the top reviews and obvious attempsts at deceit do more to damage the game than any amount of haters could.

Sadly thats very tough around here since so many that claim to play are obvious over the top advetisers for the game. As far as trying to paint it as if the people who dislike the game are runnig multiple account s to bad mouth thegame you of course, in the name of fairness< are going to name the large number that showed up after it was suggested that they come here to spam the forums about how great the game is?? This thread is the perfect example and all of the usual suspects seem to be present. Some cover it up better than others but they are pretty transparent.
Oh an dplease be sure to add "crazy aoc lover who has accounts ( I thnk you meant accounts)as one poster or 20" to your vocabulary if you plan on being taken seriously. Its far from one sided.

You basically agree with me then. ManeStreams 4 vs 40 method is probably off the wall wrong. Again, ask a few gamers that actually play AoC about what they think. There would probably be 10 times more help in this approach.
