Exactly! You too, right?
Nope. I read it before posting, you just jumped in at the end and commented on something that was already said because you are on an anti-WAR crusade. Your recent post history is a good indicator of this.
My crusade is against unfinished, buggy games from companies who lie. This included DnL, VG (at release).
Im not sure what you guys expected here at launch.
Perfection? Anyone who has played an mmo for the last 5 years KNOWS that the product in question is NEVER finished.I dont P2P for the game to be perfect i play it for ongoing content. If i wanted a perfect game it certainly is not an online game.A perfect game is 1 that is offline and never crashes and does not (most of the time) require a internet connection. I dont understand how you can expect at launch anything except a playable game at bare minimum. What i find even more amusing is that now WarHammer online is expected to release with fewer features than what was being developed.I suppose that when they saw the sales total of 700k or so it turned into a panic to get it out.Who knows its not as if they will admit it. As far as Conan is concerned FC has the background to make this a success.Its shown that with its other game AO it can do this.Already they are showing initiative with 1nce a week updates. Im not a fanboi trust me there are things with AoC that i do not like.I think part of the problem is hype and expectation. Warhammer will launch soon with fewer features than expected.I guess the same thing will happen then.I dont know but ive learned to lower my expectations at any mmo release.
Theres a difference in releasing a game with bugs and cut content , and releasing a game thats completly and utterly broken.

I would expect a decent playable game for the hard earned cash I'm paying monthly. They're charging £10 (in the UK) per month...that's £120 a year for a game that they're patching at least once a week and can't get the basics sorted.
I too fell for the schenanigans of FunCom. I tried to like AoC after buying the CE edition. But after leveling 1 toon to 80 and another two to 40 and 35, I can't go on.
This game is in bad shape. The company management and customer support is worse.
I was a fan of this release and really looking forward to it. But this product they put out called AoC is crap.
And as others have stated, it seems to be getting worse.
Customer service, Quality Control, Stability issues, Missing content - all signs of a disaster.

Hey look i understand disappointment i really do. Believe me this is not it. You know what disappointment is? The 1st year of Anarchy Online.Thats right i played that title from the same developer in its 1st year.I played it for 2 years as a matter of fact. You think THIS IS BAD?!?!?! OMG you have no idea how good this is in comparison.Constantly crashing.Get a mission almost finish and disconnect.Log back in start over.Lag spikes like you would not believe.FPS in the 10's so unplayable its not funny. This was on DIALUP!! But ya know what happened a year later? It won game of the year:ARTICLE right here.Not to mention that Notum Wars won expansion pack of the year as well. Look i know most people are disappointed but im willing to give this some time to flesh itself out based upon Funcom's track record.All im saying is exercise some patience. Give it a year lets see what happens.
Dont show any compromise to a buggy game. If it had minor issues, then that could be overlooked. but something major or just a sheer amount of minor bugs will result in a bad product. Mind you some people will still like that bad product, but most people wont.
What do you think will happen if people tolerate buggy releases without much of a fuss? Future devs will take that as a standard and continue making buggy products. Next thing you know, nothing works anymore, you are paying 50$ for an empty box and devs start developing the game after you buy it. Not a bright future IMO.
If we want quality product, we have to complain, whine, object, protest, go on a hunger strike, do anything to get the message to the developers - WE WANT QUALITY PRODUCT!
I was searching threads, and I found out that Failcom is making another game... "The Secret World" http://youtube.com/watch?v=ElHi2H8rfsQ Why would they attempt to make another game, with Age of Conan in the condition it is... Bad idea... That's my opinion though
So what? SOE developes games all the time even though their other games are unfinished and they are still making money. They also don't seem to care if they make people mad or not and still make money.
If a man presells you a item over the phone and tells you that the item is absolutely the most incredible item ever made and you buy it only to find out it's a peice of sh!t, who's fault is it?
If that same man 5 years later presells you another item that he says is the most incredible item ever made and you buy it to only find out it's a piece of Sh!t, who's fault is it?
If that same man 10 years later presells you another item that he says is the most incredible item ever made and you buy it to only find out it's a piece of Sh!t, who's fault is it?
If that same man 15 years later presells.....
Get the point? If your dumb enough to keep buying then ...

I love these forums - pure comedy genius
Yet you played the game for two months, spending more than 75$ on it. You dont seem to be a very well trained monkey yourself, do you?

Wow.
Age of conan for the PC - failure - lost money
Age of conan for the 360 - more money down the drain

Here is the review from upcoming PC Gamer Mag:
Highs - Mature atmosphere, gritty action oriented combat.
Lows - PvP lacking, loot is trash, pledged features not in at launch
Bottom Line - So promising but in the end not satisfying.
77% Score
I would give it more like a 61% with the problems this game is facing.
