What is wrong with all the gamers today ...really ??? What's up with all the hate mongering against a game you will not play again, or will quit in near future..
Look at all these posts in this forum, even the official AoC forum can't beat this much bullshit...
I currently play AoC ...And honestly there is NOTHING wrong with it, from my perspective atleast..And also, I'm in a healty guild and have lots of friends that plays, and NONE of them thinks there is a single thing wrong with AoC, they are not even aware of these stupis things that goes on in the forums about this game..
And even so..If there were something wrong just don't try to destroy the game for others, I like every bit of AoC and have been there since beta..
Some will say, we do this because we lost money, lost money ?
Or some will even call it their investment !!!??? It's a few cases of beer or a couple of movie tickets..
Others will say, but we have been lied to !! Again' It's a GAME, it's not a world war conflict...
And lies ?? Well..In all my 25 years of computer gaming experience I haven't played one game that hasn't been overhyped by it's creators or marketing spins created that didn't match the final product..You just have to look with a sceptic eye on all such things...You either like the "core" product or you don't, I like it and think it has tremendous potencial for the future, If that isn't ruined by the angry mob already..
An example:
World of Warcraft, this game wen't in the opposite direction, It was so hyped that it's now considered THE NR ONE world wide, that everyone and their grandmother must play it, even thou compared to other MMORPG's it's really nothing special..
I like AoC better than World of Warcraft, and I like to continue to play that game...Please do not force me to play other games that I do not like, since the angry mob is out to destroy certain games..
Another Example:
Vanguard, This game met the same fate that Age of Conan is getting if it not stops...Sure Vanguard had it's fair share of problems but is now a good and solid product part from one thing, no players, with no players there will be no world..
Several other games has met the same grim fate, I'ts a GAME for 40 dollars, that even include one month PLAY so you can judge if you want to STAY or LEAVE..
But please after you leave, will you PLEASE stop the idiotic herassing of this game and it's company, Funcom is atleast trying to defend their product...You make it harder and harder for them to actually prove that they wan't to make the best game they can with AoC...
You may also say that hopefully developers WILL LEARN their lesson not to do this and that, or say this and that...But what done is done, It's a 20 milj dollar project and you wan't them to be completly honest with every little detail there is...
-We have only half a game ready, but we had to release it anyway..
Honest people comes along way, sure they do..But if you sit with your ass in a meatgrinder you have to try to make the best of the situation and try to fix it...It has always been this way with games and software..
A paying customers has every right to complain when they feel something is wrong with their purchased product youy say....
Sure, but this is not complaining this is a angry lynch mob that is building up like a tornado that has almost become unstoppable
I'm defending Funcom in this because..
1. I wan't to continue to play this game on servers that are somewhat healthy...Can I do that PLEASE..
Sure, there will obviously be a time for me to "tire" of AoC aswell, but right now i'm having a good time, but everytime i try to read the forums I just get SAD...
Finally, just as you should know I'm not saying that everything Funcom and other game-companies do regarding this is right in any way, they could have done things diffrently, but the damage is done already, give them a chance to fix it, just for the sake of "there is people that actually want's to play the game" not for the sake that I think it's alright to produce products that isn't really done because of "time and money"
Please, let me and others continue to play Age of Conan..

We're pissed because we've been in the mmo world long enough to know what a good mmo is, AND WE WANT TO PLAY ONE AGAIN, but mmo devs keep pushing trash out the door.
If you like this crap then fine, like it all you want, but that just means that you haven't been around long enough to know just how amazing mmos have the potential to be.

You might want to direct this to the devs so they can make the game patches that are needed to
keep the players. Don't blame us haters, and especially don't say there is nothing wrong with the
game. You lose all credibility in that statement alone. Have a nice day

You were making sense until this...how is anyone on this forum stopping you from playing the game? Just ignore the forum and go play if that's what you want.

"Capitalism is currently working as intended."
If you like it so much why do you even care what anyone else says about the game? Why are you reading pissed off rants on fourms insted of playing? Why are you posting your own annoyed rant insted of playing?
Everyone is entitled to thier opinions.. if someone is pissed off about the game an wanna post about it.. good for them. If the game is great in your eyes and you want to play it.. good for you. Play it. As I said if you like it who cares what others think or post?
I have been around..Long enough..Those games you are refering to are probably still there..UO, EQ etc etc..just play them..
You are right, why am I reading this, good question really
As I mentioned in my post, I'm getting scared about this development..It's a ugly development that I think hurts gaming more than it really mends..
Sure, I can go play and ignore the forums complety, but I like AoC and I wan't to continue liking it, but for that to happen it need's players...
If you can't understand that then you havent read my entire post, it's all in there..
In a sence they will stop people from playing if all the forum negativity that goes on lead to the games demise..
Like AC2..It was closed..Was another game that I REALLY liked, and I can't play that any longer..
In the end it's all in the hands of the developers, but none can argue that Internet isn't a POWERFUL media and will kill things if it put's it mind to it..
Thark...you really don't have a right to complain. Your post history shows you talked negatively about Vanguard alot...in fact you said noone should play it.

how can you read a post that starts by saying there is nothing wrong with the game. maybe your just
into crap games. don't worry i think AoC will be there for awhile, but will have niche share of the market.
you players should be pushing for server mergers not crying at us for them putting out a game very few
want to play.

Have you got to level 80 and experienced Age of Gemstacking?
Have you been at a large siege and experienced Age of Lag?
This game level 1-40 is the best MMO out there. End game is is still in beta and simply not fun.

what is funny about this is that you are blaming the players for a craptastic game instead of the
developers. are you totally gooftarded. come on please tell me you are not being for real please.
Are you real..Well then you should start by reading my post again..I blame the developers as much or more naturally, but I think it has gone to far..
Tell me something !! If you think Funcom knew this was bound to happen, don't you think they would have altered their perspective ?? What done is done...
Failcom is doing a wonderful job of destroying AoC all by themselves. I personally will not advise anyone to waste their money on this garbage.
You should log in and play since you like it so much next week they could file bankruptcy.
I have no problem with the op liking or even defending the game. The problem he faces is the fact that the majority of gamers at least on this forum do not agree with his opinion. If Aoc was a great game to play and did not have problems people would be playing it and not trashing it. I doubt though that funcom will ditch aoc because of forums like these. If they honestly read any of the complaints or posts they would never been in this situation. As for people not playing, if it was a good game then people would play. Wow survives still despite the numerous haters who constantly trash it. If it is such a great game stop complaining and tell people how great it is and spread the word, but don't complain that people have the opposite opinion and want to write how bad it is. My two cents anyways.
Yes..And I'm sorry for that actually..
I was once also there..And thought that complaing would make things better..But it didnt..It made things worse..
VAnguard is today a good game, wthout players unfortunatly, and I was part of that..

If there is nothing wrong with the game how come 50% of the people didn't bother to renew out of the free month?
The only reason you are posting is you can see the writing on the wall. The game is bad enough to be canceled.
Waiting for the next thing
It is in the hands of the developers.
And those developers have shown that they have no clue about what they are doing.
Alienating the player base, pushing out sub par and untested patches, allowing dupes to continue for months, spinning everything no matter what...
I could continue, but there are plenty of other threads that explain each and every thing wrong with Funcom in great detail at great length.
Do these look familiar?

Yes
Yes

Christ, another Blame the Players post. WQe needed another whine about the whiners post.
In the words of Lufkin "Get this in your brain and remember it": The ruination of AoC is 100% purely the devs fault. You here that OP? People hate the game because it's a terrible, buggy incomplete mess. The devs outright lied, spun, and deceived as much as possible to steal money from the players.
You think people are going to praise them for that?
You make me sick.
*Edit*
Don't mind me ... reading comprehension for the win

Damn beer ....

as i have already stated i stopped reading at there is nothing wrong with this game. to answer question
however. yes i feel they would have. funcom has repeatedly lied, and continues to do so. I personally
thought they could turn things around at one point. they had a great idea. they blew it. they lied. they
bought time. the q2 reports say it all. 400k people can't be wrong, and that was as of june 30th. at that
rate i would say close to 600k out of the 800+ have canceled.
if funcom would have be straight up. and worried about memory leaks, client crashes, bugged quests
and such, before nerfing classes. well they might be in a different state.

Don't let them get you down.
Everyone hates on a game i love and play (world of warcraft) but doesn't stop me from loving it...
Or Dungeons and Dragons Online, Another great example. Lots put that game down for its non open world, instanced approach to the genre. Didn't stop me from playing and enjoying that game.
If your worried that the developers will fail because the vocal public doesn't like their game, you need not worry. They will succeed or fail on their own merits.
Its not going to be the players. If you make a good product, people will buy it despite the critics.
If you make a bad product, the critics just amplify whats worst in a product.
I'm still waiting for a few things before i try AoC. Fugitive, PvP systems.
They started responding to some of the major exploits that i've been hearing about for months now, which is a positive sign in my book.
These are steps in the right direction, and if they keep up the hard work maybe they will turn it around like Vanguard.
Its up to them though. The customers didn't make this product, they are just responding to the product offered to them. And some of the practices of Funcom's Public Relations are questionable Ethically to some people.
Don't give up hope! If the fans of the game give up hope now there might never be a better version of this game in the future worthy of my money! and that isn't a happy thought. I like variety.

He makes you sick because he's stating his opinion, and it's not yours, so it's automatically wrong? I personally am looking forward to getting the game and playing it.
