Ok..When are you sad people wake up and realise that Funcom has actually released 2 good products ..
I was in the beta of AoC and there was nothing wrong with it at all..AoC is one of the better MMO experiences you can have, don't know what people actually are so pisst off about..Sure it wasn't entirely complete and a couple of bugs here and there but..It is a great game .
Anarchy Online a truly great game, albeit I give you that AO was barely playable during launch , It turned out to be a game I will remember forever..the skillsystem , the implants all of it..reminds me alot of The Secret World ..:)
Funcom is a great company, that has to market their products like everyone else, even thou they were absolutly ready with their games or not. If every company had unlimited with time, Im sure most would make use of that time, but the reality is another thing. Time is money
{mod edit} AoC not only had a crap load of bugs it also had and still do have memory leaks. With all these problems and you would say that AoC was a great game yet with a great game the game will not go F2P it will stay with the P2P model and if this game was so great then why I ask is it now F2P.
after 3 days of their "technicians" trying to make the registration work (link site with the Database) they failed.. makes you wonder.. Why would i ever pay a monthly subscription on something like that? What if somehing happens to my account after a while, as i saw these days their personel has no ideea what to do in a crisis situation..
Epic Fail Funcom, maybe is time to take your toys and go home an start making Insane Edition Solitaire.
Massive launch sign ups and massive drops outs are a hallmark of MMO's these days. This is transforming MMO's into becoming even more like solo games. If they decide they can't keep players no matter what, why bother to spend money trying to make a game which players will still wnat to play after one month?
Typical new product release issues. Everything will be fine, and the game will do quite well. Forum posters typically represent the extreme wings of the entire population, which, statistically speaking, represent the "outliers" of the total sample, and hence are statistically insignificant.
LOLZ what does that make me then...
This is going to be fun! Can't wait.
Not real familar with Funcom are you? Oh, it will be fun alright, but not in the way you think.
Nice, Looking forward for the Beta. They seem to have some interesting features in this MMO, it's good to finally see a manufacturer do something original not just copy blindly pasting world of warcraft.
After some.. Lets call it downsides with AoC I would really like to try out and hopefully help shape the game some before choosing to buy the game.
I don't think Funcom seem to care for others who wanted to participate on the beta and I think that is selfish... No thank Funcom I'll just be opting out on the beta then.
So it turns out I'd be excellent as an Illiuminati. Who would have thunk it? I'd never guessed. Well, although as usual I was hoping for the oriental/asian flare I think I'll take the game's advice and try out Illuminat.
I guess I may have a dark side I don't know about.

I think Funcom has some of the best ideas around. When it comes to being creative they are one of the best in the biz and every game they released has seen me running out to get it based on concept and hype alone.
Not this time because sadly, their ideas never quite pan out.
They will be using the Dreamworld engine for this game ... the same as in AoC ... and since the engine upgrade in AoC I've had all kinds of performance problems. I'm not even close to being the only one either. While my rig isn't a monster it isn't all that bad and it used to play AoC just fine. Not now.
The same thing hapened in AO and anyone who played that great game with the horrible performance knows what I'm talking about. Yes, some people won't have a problem but they are few and far between and more than once I've heard of people passing even on free play because of the terrabad performance of that engine.
The best way to plan for a FC game is to make sure that your PC is so powerful that it can overcome the bad coding and set your sites low so you can be surpised.
I will pass on this one. Between AO and AoC there is just to much past grief. I expect this game to be no better.
This is THE mmo I've been waiting for. I know some ppl dont like funcom but their games are good (imo)
AoC was alright, but AO was pretty awesome for it's time (and it ran quite fine for me), and that's the benchmark I hold Funcom to, which fell slightly off the mark with the conan for me (at the time it was first released, havent seen what updates have done to it).
I am hoping TSW redeems em, the 3 faction thing is a good start, as that makes for much more interesting and dynamic warfare heh
This game will flop. They already botched the beta signup/emails three times already.
Typical Funcom crap.
The same day (that evening) I signup I get the icon for closed beta on TSW account yet whaddya know, I can't download the client. Download graphic the whole bit....
Crap is crap.

Launch Fail

Maybe wait like I said for a year before you buy?

Three straight years of Anarchy Online.
I think I am familiar with Funcom.

MMO genre has been very stale. I hope this will be a change from the fail titles that have been released of late.

Anything that wants me to make a Facebook page loses me instantly, and quite frankly makes me wonder what age group this game is aiming for.
Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, always dominated by the look at me, look at me crowd of narcisstic 12-18 year olds.
I already have beta access, but this makes me concerned what the gold game will be like.
Losing its appeal.

You can have mine if i get it. I only have AoC to go by but during that beta the amount of times we were told their vision was god was ridiculous.
