Well, only 6 votes so far... still, better start selling those FC shares
(edit: 10 now, we have our actual first subscriber here
(edit #2: once we have about 40-50 votes, it will start to become to make sense posting this thread as a link on the official forums :P

I voted I'll re-sub in a few months option. For me it just needs a good PvP system other than sieges to bring me back. PvP needs some meaning.
I just paid my first month...bought my GF a copy and we quest together... i'm a conq, she's a herald of Xotli...we're having a blast...
1 lvl 43
1 lvl 25 with GF
Faxx(er) on ZUG
look...the game isn't what SWG WAS.....but it's better than WoW ten times over.....FC will get the kinks worked out in time to have a xmas relaunch i'm sure....it'll be fine...ppl jump ship way too fast from stuff
That doesn't change the fact that almost 90% of people who have bought it do not surbscribe after the first 30 days. (I know 40 people is not the world, but such a poll would never be valid on a Funcom site, afraid..
I'm afraid you represent the tiny minority here

Aw come on...
What about "I like pie" option for us who didn't buy AoC and yet would like to see the result of the poll?
Geez...
Your poll is going to be all screwy cause of all the people voting whatever just to see the score.
It's Funcom.
They messed up the Launch and the Game.
Just like AO.
Don't expect them to do much better with AoC than they did with AO as regards getting it all up and running.
Gone and will stay gone.
All who continue with AoC, enjoy the game!
See you all again when WAR is up.
Good point... but it would screw up percentages
Anyways... the current numbers look like:
1: 13%
2: 27%
3: 60%
keeps changing ofc, but this is with 40some votes now (will keep editing if there's any significant shift)

Haven't tried it yet so can't vote. I am waiting for the Free Trial and when a few older vets resub and say that changes are starting to take the game in the right direction. No sense in playing it now for me and forming a really bad first impression.
It's surely not LOTRO. I actually liked the first 20 levels. The problems came when I wanted to try gathering (pre-crafting). I had to travel a HUGE distance away from my own hub in Cimmeria to even get started.
There is no resource tracking. Nodes are always at the same spot. They are either camped all the time or exhausted (replenish is slow), or both. All tiers are in the same area (!).
It's an utter and total pain to get the first 20 items for the beginning quests, It took me 3 hours to get halfway with 2 of these quests. *Shiver*. It's totally demoralizing.
The other aspects were nice though, music is great, visuals are nice and as I said the beginning stories are very entertaining. Hope they fix whatever can be fixed, and I'll be happy to check back in a couple of months.
Too bad Mines of Moria will probably be out by the time this one is repaired

Its a bad poll
.. you made 1 option = love and 2 options = bad , it never can give a good result
should have bin
1: Love it, and I will play along time
2: Like it , will play for now but things got to chance for me to stay long
3: I wait , tested it but I don´t find it fun now, maybe in some months
4: its garbage
I would have bin a number 2.. but its not in your poll...
Good point... but it would screw up percentages

Nah, it wouldn't - you just remove "I like pie" from the total calculation. Without it you get a bunch of non-players answering randomly, or according to their preconceptions.
I imagine option 3 is most popular by far cause all the people who didn't buy the game probably have serious misgivings about it so they'll vote 3.
I cancelled after 2 weeks. I don't think I'll ever return since the reason I left was not the bugs or the game not being finished, but the general crappiness of the game itself.

Well, if someone is such an infant, that he/she votes even w/o having tried the game, what's the guarantee that he/she would vote on the "I like pie", instead of voting on the other options according to his degree of fanboiness/haterness?

Well of course you'll have your share of poll trolls... however not giving a neutral option forces otherwise honest viewers to cast a false vote just in order to see the results. Seems pretty logical to me.

No, it does not *force* to do anything like that at all. If someone is being dishonest in such a trivial thing, he/she' can be dishonest even when they don't need to be.
Honest people (the ones that didn't buy or beta'd AOC) don't vote on my poll.....
And now we're getting really academic, let's not discuss human nature on these boards.....

Well I'm a honest guy so I didn't vote.. However this honesty is forbidding me from seeing the poll results and I don't see why should I be punished in that way because I don't want to cheat.
Anywayz, it's really easy to add "i like pie" at the end of conditional polls, don't you think?
Current status: 68 votes, percentages: 13, 22, 65.
Even with the occasional trolling (meaning haters who haven't even tried,but still voted - if there's any), this is such a bad result that I did never imagine.....
(edit. 72 votes, 14/22/64 now). If we get to 100, it'll actually mean something)....

Im 100% surten that if this poll would be made on official forum right now, it would be same or 3. would be 70% so your mistaken, im lvl73 so i know and i come alot on official forums.
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009.....
In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.
Dude its going to go way over 100.
It still isn't going to go into AoC's favor even if it reached 100k votes.
You can search the web ALL day and you will not find a poll in AoC's favor.
They are either dead even 50/ good / 50 sucks polls.
OR
70 sucks ass / 30 good.
Your poll is going to land somewhere in the 80% sucks ass vicinity. More time has passed now, and funcom is pissing off droves of people daily. TONS!
Everyday that passes, increases your cancel sub cause its garbage option.
I could not answer in your poll cause i do not love the game, the last game i truly "loved" was pre-cu SWG....yeah yeah i know i am a niche player
anyway...i do enjoy AoC, could be that i do not pvp, could be i didn't go for it's hype, i aint the raid or siege kind of player, i like to rp PVE, just randomly having fun with people i meet or simply enjoy some solo play. It's fun, and thats what matters, if it stops being fun i as every game will not be playing it.
too few options but i guess it's the perfect choice for those who hate it to guts....
I'll resub once it's been polished, it's really fun untill you hit too many of the "this bug shouldn't be in release....."
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
Well, tough luck.
I wonder when (if ever) will that time come, when devs/publishers realize: hype=fail.
They should only promise what they have *already* achieved in their witch-kitchen. Make an open beta. Listen to testers. Make a free trial. Release a game that is READY. Maintain, develop, expand. Playerbase grows.
Yeah, I'm back to LOTRO. I never even heard about that game, just got an email from a website about a closed beta key. I tried, and was hooked. It's been 1,5 years already, and I wasn't cheated or overpromised so far. We are lucky to have at least one developer/game that shows the *right* way, even if that game's playstyle is not for everyone, I admit.
Let's hope there'll be followers!

You know why, don't you? Or is this your first visit to the internets?
People drive me nuts with "options". We aren't buying a Lexus. It's a forum poll.
Technically OP I would have just did 2 options.
1. Subbing - Good
2. Cancel - Sucks ass
Thats all you would have needed right there.
People will complain about anything....
"Oh... gee i don't know wally, I wasn't planning on canceling until at least the 3rd month maybe the 5th I don't know. He only has an option to cancel after 1 month tho... what do I choose.... MOMMY!"
Either you like it and are going to play it, or you dont like it and aren't going to play it.
People like to make these issues into a rainbow spectrum of options... but really its just black and white.
Yes or No, Good vs Bad, Hot bitches vs Ugly bitches.
Things of that nature.
Anyway AoC sucks ass, DEATH TO AOC!
