Lord of the rings did it...infact for memory they did it just before beta. thats right unless you were in the beta you could not access the forums. anyway its becoming standard MMO practise. it makes sense in a business point of view (these are businesses we are talking about) and gives the devs a bit more time to iron out the bugs.

seriously though if you have problems then wait a week or two and they should have ironed out most of the bugs. every game has these problems at launch but after a week or two the majority of people are fine.

Talking strictly about after launch here.

Name another mildly successful MMO that blocked the forums from public viewing (not posting) after launch.

Hellgate London closed there forum very quick after launch.

I just have to laugh at this. Years in developement... countless beta testers and QA reviews... and they still miss this when they do a quick shoddy copy paste of the chat system code and put it into AoC. Just a simple copy/paste from Anarchy Online.

ive been a big conan fan for years and looked forward to this game now that its here and see how funcom chose to run the game by not responding to the players emails or when ive asked for in-game help from gm ive already stopped my ccount now ill wait for warhammer online to release because i know mythics techs have much better skills when it comes to running a game and they shouldve not used conans name for this game

I too was in AO beta and AoC beta.
to me AoC was 10 times worse.
to each his own i guess

here you say you were in the AO beta......

I 100% disagree that the bugs are software/hardware issues on the user side.

I'm running the game on a AMD 64 +3200, Nvidea 6600, 1 gig ram and XP.
most people would agree the above spec is total crap and out of date.
WELL... guess what?
I get 25-40 FPS anywhere in game and the game runs great for me. I personally have no complaints about the game.
BUT... HUGE amounts of people do and the fan boys are playing it down as if it is everyone elses problem and not FunComs.

the truth is "funcom messed up big time."

here is where you post your VERY bad gaming rig. 1 gig of ram .... you should be warned of low virtual memory every 5-10 mins, and the video card is a 6 series, the lowest GPU ive seen posted in the AOC forums is atleast a 7 series, the only way you can get 25-40 fps is if you ran EVERYTHING at its lowest. And even then in beta, where performence was worse then it is now, it would be unplayable. The launch is one of the smoothest ive ever seen, and they have learned from AO. Although i will admit i have seen an increasing amount of bugs after level 27 im still haveing a blast.
