Didn't funcom brag about selling some 750k boxes at some point conservative estimates give the game some 200k subs still which is a loss of 550k players which equates to well over half it's players leaving which for me says that said reviewer would obviously fall on the side of 550k that quit I personally think a 6/10 is a bit high but that's mainly because reviews are totally opinion based it really does not say anything concrete about the game you love it nice but please stop trying to use "facts" to "prove" why someones dislike of a product is wrong most of the mmo world hates the game I think you should be glad to have found someone reviewing the game at this point that is that nice about the games state because I see it way worse than a 6/10.
Hmm.. I think OP try to convey that the current version of AoC is much much better than the AoC we saw the first couple of months. He says the game is 10/10 now, even I do not agree with that, but I think most of us can agree that AoC is up there and that it is just getting so much better by the day. The more interesting thing is how intensely FC seem to work on their game. Patch after patch with awesome material just keep slamming inn over the AoC gaming crowds. I belive FC is moving in the right direction with AoC, and that they also seem to do that at a very high pace. 10/10, NO, but if patch 4.0 wiith DX10 and other stuff hold same quality as patch 3.0, this game will soon start to taste like a 9/10.
I come to this thread daily for the simple pleasure of waking up with laughter. Yes it has been at an incredible high pace as they keep taking the gaming world by storm
This is an 8 out of 10 game and I dont know a MMO that rates higher than that to my mind.
I agree with you on alot OP, but I don't think it deserves a 10/10, since it would imply that the game was perfect, which it isn't imo anyway. But for me it's rather close, cause the things that don't work aren't really annoying me that much. There was a bug with the volume of the ambient sounds some time back, that was rather annoying, but they fixed it, and that's about it.
I would say it's definitely among the top 10 games, whatever those are...
The ranking list on this site is just bull anyway, a whole bunch of unreleased games at top... so I don't value it much
I think that the Hyped game marking works different that the Released game marking. What dispointing is the timing of the review and name calling of the community in the mmorpg.com one. No way is the game 10/10. Even people score it way above mmorpg.com's review and it's growing all the time - simply a reflection of more people trying and aproving, some those people who left within the first 3 months can't attest to either way.
That right there says enough
That might be, but they changed it so that the unreleased games that used to be halfway down the list suddenly went to the top. And I think people do compare released and unreleased games, considering what they are going to play next.
Anyway, I don't think any game is 10/10. But the review was rather unproffesional if you ask me, obviously affected by all the negativity the game has gotten from players.
The reason the rating is very slowly but steadily growing is that the people that join now have a much more improved AoC than at launch, that's the way I interpret it anyway. And those who join later on are probably not as hardcore as alot of the Early Access players. The game seems like it would fit casual players very well with the fast leveling. And I think more of those joining later are more casual.
That's just my speculations though.
I think AoC is a great game. I just love it. The graphics is cool. If we look at it the problems of AoC can be solved. Techincal problems can be overcome. PCs will have specs suitable for AoC after some time. If everything went well I could have imagined my barbarian wearing these items:
Barbarian Armor Chest
Barbarian Armor Helm
Barbarian Armor Legs
Critical Mass x2
Well I guess for now it’s just a dream. *sigh*
AoC had a “weak” foundation to start with. I hope that in time, they will recover from their loss. And people will get into playing AoC again. This is the coolest game where when you get cool items like the ones I mentioned above, you could really appreciate having high quality graphics for your game.
OP,10/10? Whatever you are smoking,I want some.
I don`t know if anyone from Funcom read this forum and if it's the case know that people love your game but they were terribly disappointed by lot of small things that make it into a big fuck up.
From what I`ve seen watching friends playing the game(before the new patch) I 'll give the game 6/10.FC will have to do twice the work to bring back "leavers" and new players such as myself in.For this game to earn 8/10 city raiding/crafting and all end game should work as intended and marketed.
AoC has everything to be the next big thing,so FC you can make(fix) it or break it for good.
In the land of Predators,the lion does not fear the jackals...
Well we all say that, but thruth is after the last patches you see more and more of these people unloading their satisfaction with this game through type 9/10 reviews. I myself is ready to give it 88/100. After DX10 and even more content, you can yourself imagine where this ends.

Bankruptcy?
I'll give it:
PvE 6/10
PvP 5/10

(But I last played 3 months back and have not tried the PvP Patch, new quests, new crafting recipies, built a guild city or battlekeep nor experienced Ymir's Pass Zone the largest free update since I last subbed yet.)
Fixed.

Have you guys noticed that some of these notorious 50 hate posts pr day profiles only post in the weeks (like on work days). I am not mentioning any particluar names, but since I am posting here I guess you kind of can imagine who I am talking about. Just pay attention, monday morning it's all back to work, trolling that forum.
Ive noticed that anyone posting positive stuff about AOC can pretty much attack anyone they wish - break the rules and not be actioned on for it.
Ive also noticed that people posting the truth about the quality level to be found in AOC is pretty much a target for the slightest rule infraction and eventually banned.
Its how it is.... Nice to be a fanboi, was that your point?
What is your point? If you read the forum rules you would know that "excessive negative posting is regarded as trolling". I think 50 I hate this or that posts pr day fall well within "excessive negative posting". You see the point is, that a forum should represent every forum members voice, not just the voice of a nutjob spewing out something like hundreds of posts pr day (counting all profiles). That's why trolls are constantly getting banned, because they don't respect this fundamental though as well as the forum rules.

Im not a nutjob. Im telling it the way I see it. Im not negative posting, unless you consider telling the truth about the game to be trolling. Lets get real eh?
I know what the rules say. I have to wonder how new players can consider a forum like to be a good source of information if the general trend of the site is to ban anyone not painting the games as rosey and perfect. I mean?

First of all I did not call you a nutjob. Second, I did not label you as a negative poster? I don't understand how you came to this unless you feel that I talk about you, when I refer to some of the hyperposters above
.
And for your rightous quest for the truth, i think it would be healthy for you to recalibrate that truth a bit. I have read some of your posts and they are certainly not reflecting what I considder to be the truth about AoC today. Also be aware of that people think it's strange that you find the motivation to hang around in this forum several hours pr. day to tell the "truth" about AoC, several months after you quit (You quit before patch 2.0 if I remember right). We all wonder where is this rather special interest coming from?
This is the most ironic post I have ever seen, and from my observations, completely the opposite. If you can't tell, people defending this game are certainly outnumbered by those that hate it; and in more cases than none, haters of this game are far, FAR more agressive and personal (why people get personal within a video game forum is just downright pathetic if you ask me) in their attacks. If what you say was the case, their certainly wouldn't be as much horrid publicity spread about this game on this site, whether it is deserving of it (the "truth" you speak of) or not. That should be evidence enough that people wanting to see the game die are gaining some sort of ground... which in a way is rather sad in and among itself, as none of what this has any impact whatsoever on this game's success. It's all simply become personal attacks on people over whether or not they are an optimist or pessimist for the game's survival. The forums on these sites have basically lost all grounds on having logical discussion and a believable spread of valid information, which is basically all a forum is for.
What amazes me more than anything is that the reasons people hate this game such as false advertisement, lack of fulfillment of promises, etc., is being regurgitated in a new essense by those same trolls. Changing sentences, giving false data in hopes of spreading untrue info of the game, filling unspoken words into people's mouths. Am I the only one who sees the irony?
So to talk about the topic of the post. Who's more off, JediJeff or Pezz? Funny enough I kind of feel Pezz, mindless as he seem, to be closer to the right grade of AoC than Jeff, who's supposed to be a professional reviewer. Comments?
Maybe it could be that these people have a LIFE and they like to spend their weekends doing something other than posting on these forums 24/7

Why do you keep telling these lies about me? I have told you I still play AoC using my friends accout. I have done ALL these things you say here.
Can't you just except the fact that most people just don't like Age of Conan?
90% of original player base quit AoC. Doesn't this tell you something? You think they all quit because of some broken quests? No. They quit because they thought the game sucked.

Um.. you do realize that most of us can post from work? On the weekends and at night when I'm home, I do other things. I enjoy forum pvping from work though
Here is another 'have you noticed'. Have you guys noticed that everyone that really defends this game is from Norway?

And you can keep putting your hands together and praying you're right. You still have to post to convince yourself. You already told us that you played your friends account for 1 day for a couple hours at lvl 40 - you have no idea about the keeps / raids, etc in current form, and skip all the direct normal questions I have asked before. Might be best you moved on it's not healthy. You see at the end of the day we have seen this here on these forums over the past 18 months - guess what? Those that play the game are still here, over the 90% that quit and post to cause nuisance.. they realised it's not healthy and moved on - its been 6 months already. You can cling to your 90% figure all you like but you can never prove it as fact.
I thinke AoC is on a second wind these days. This weekend was definitely pumping with lots more activity that other weekends.

Why can we never prove it as fact? Because Funcom shutup tighter than a drum about this issue when the game went over the cliff. This game is dead - they posted sub numbers and then abruptly ceased this practice, citing company policy. It wasnt policy in the 2nd quarter report when they were trying to use the propped up number to bolster support for the game. Now they know if they release numbers they have to explain what they mean and they wont be good. So they opt not to release them....
We would LOVE to see some current numbers from funcom. Blizzard does this pretty regularly. Aside from the falsehood funcom employees try to spread on their forums, blizzards numbers are not people served. The numbers they release are number currently playing in their first month, number of people paying with game cards, and number of people with current paid up accounts via CC, pay pal and other various payment methods.
So Avery if Funcom is right and AoC is on the rebound, why not post sub number? WOW does it? What could possibly be the reason that Funcom DID in the Q2 report, and now says they dont because of company policy?

I think this has been spoon fed to you before. Expected revenue in Q4 is 8-10 Mill USD. 1 year ago Operating revenue was like 0.5 Mill USD making AoC responsible alone for 7.5-9.5 Mill USD in Q4 this year. I showed it on a pocket calculator to you before (just look it up if you already forgot it) that this equivalents to at least 150 000 to 200 000 AoC players. After all nobody will give the money in charity to FC. They have to make them from subs. If this is still not good enough for you, I guess you just have to play WoW that aledgedly have 12 Mill subs. Let me remind you of that not all people agree with that number either.
