Fact - No content has been added since launch

Just wanted to clear this up.
Funcom has been talking about added content from day one of retail. That goes for:
New zones
New armors
New PVP systems
Just to name few.
Promises, promises, promises and nothing... absolutly nothing has been delivered.
Seriously - Why you think AOC is now BELOW the hypeometer it had on MMORPG.COM
There is a reason why Funcom is getting permamark for bad gaming developer.

Yes but you're forgetting they've changed the price of the horse riding skill several times. In 7 or 8 patches that skill book will be perfectly balanced!
Aye, what the game needs now is just one more horse riding skill balance. The price seems too cheap at the moment. So thats the most important thing to focus on.
maybe they want to stabalize the game now before they introduce more content ..... i dunno that just seems logical to me.

Maybe the game should have been stabalized before it launched?
Maybe this is just a normal MMORPG launch

This game sucks tbh
1) monthly fee suppose to be for supporting and adding contents not to complete "Uncompleted beta game"
2) The game based on PvP, and the PvP messed up and unbalanced at all
3) I don't see any accuracy / resistance .. etc on char build ... so, a lv60 can kill lv80 which happened on my guild
4) really poor coding and programming skill.
5) less bugs, why? cuz they don't implement everything or you could see mass bugs.
6) LOL /camp, cuz no log-out to char selection screen.
I took it this way:
" I been cheated by funcom " so I cancelled
Maybe this is just a normal MMORPG launch
I wouldn't call a catastrophic loss of customers a normal MMORPG launch. There is a reason people are leaving even the most die-hard fans are picking up their pride and realizing that this game is forever broken in the hands of Funcom. It is sad really, so much promise...
Tvalentine if this is what you expect from a major Mmo launch, you have some exctremely low standards. The fact is that most of the folks that bought this game are not happy with it....why do you think that is? Why do you think Funcoms stock has plumeted..are ya blind man??? Nothing against you but I just dont understand how you can think that this game should still be in the stabalizing stage...?? Do you think the people that are complaining about a lack of content are stupid or what????
Maybe the game shouldn't have launched at all.
I am not sure if I feel as strongly as some, but I tried AoC and was disappointed. Funcom is in a bad spot - no two ways about it. As with most things, us litle people speak with our money. All of the cancelled subscriptions should be sending a message to Funcom and possibly to other upcoming MMOs.
This is exactly how I feel about this garbage excuse for a game.
Maybe this is just a normal MMORPG launch
This is far from a normal MMORPG launch.
While its true MMO's dont launch in a finished state they also dont launch with half the game missing and they dont constantly say features will be in the next patch for months on end without seeing them.
One thing Funcom does very well is sell the hope of vaporware to people to get them to believe things will get better sometime in the future.
I have never seen any other MMO have as terrible a quality patches as this game has, its like they do not even test anything they change. And the fact they have done class balance changes to the Necro every single patch for 2 months is a perfect example of that.
All in all AoC is by far the poorest excuse for a MMo I have ever played and should have been free download and free 2 play at best given the quality of the game.
Yes but so what if they were hyping it up well before launch?
So what if it didn't launch with much of the featured content that many players bought it for in the first place?
So what if what featured content was there was either incomplete or broken beyond playability?
So what if in 4 months the only thing they've managed to do is release bugged patches that actually made the game worse than it was at launch?
So what if their actions - in-game and on their forums - have driven away at least half their original player pop.?
So what if in 4 months they've yet to add any of the content that was supposed to be at launch, but are already talking about expansion packs?
They've said it will all be in there "soon"... and you trolls and haters just need to stop being so impatient!!
Just because you paid them money for a game based on features that they didn't deliver on gives you *no right* to hold them accountable!
You all just leave Funcom alone! Right now!!

This game reminds me of SWG when that first launched and how everyone hated it and whined, sure people say now how they loved it but thats the nostalgia talking, the same people who love it now were the whiners on the forums.
I have heard this line of reasoning before and challenge that fact as I played the game before it was borked and can attest to being one of those who will try if given the chance to steer others away from SOE but you will be hard pressed to find a single post from me whining about things before the nge and I would love to see the proof that so many of the others who are here making statements like this are responsible for any of the mess they pulled.
If anyhting I think it may be something more like people can't accept the fact that sometimes bad companies do bad things regardless of the players desires or actions.
but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....
I think when the year end report comes out to stockholders funcom may just up and say they are stoping support for the game and moving on to other area's. It would not surprise me the game is that badly managed.
MAGA
Yeah 5 years down the road well get the "I wish MMOs today had graphics like AoC had back in the day"........
Agree, I've seen what happend with SWG instead of fixing things they continued to add things and back then the adding things should have been low priority and fixing what was broken a high priority, so your logic is logic to me aswell lets hope for Funcom they share the same logic on this
Add content when things that should have been working are working.
A MMO game that launches with enough planned content to be able to lvl in a reletivly linear way from lvl 1 - 80 would not need added content 3 months from launch.
However...
A game that got the devs admitting it needed content for correct lvling curve has not been added to.
You see the diffrence ?
Not gonna mention content that the devs announched would be in the game in June. Now.. that wouldn't be fair would it ? Its MMOs after all....
Seriously - some ppl would eat dirt if the devs told them it was a cake....

That was a joke right?
They changed a couple of dungeons. The pyramid one and the black castle so they have changed some stuff since launch.
Course I think the biggest changes have been in new bugs but I wanted to make sure they were getting credit.
