Hi guys!
I accidently found this thread a few minutes ago,
http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/198897
pretty old, but I just wanted thank you for your appreciation.
Ralf and me had a great time and surely, this event was satisfying.
I had been very active in the offical forums before (for 2 years before launch), trying to give constructive input, I wasn't too successful in the end 
Just for the record: Back then, Waldgeist noticed me at one and identified me as "Bora". They had googeled my profile in the web before, including pictures He and Tarib were full aware of the things going on and they tried to take it with humor.
Nevertheless, I was banned a day after posting these pictures on the forums. Even FunCom members took pictures of us, they never posted them to the public, I do understand why
AoC was and is a huge disappointment for me for so many reasons. Since then I stopped playing MMORPGs, the all seem soo generic to me, no true innovation, no reason to go with another "WoW" in a fresh look.
To all of you: Enjoy whatever you do at the moment and see you in the "The Secret World" Forums in time... SHOW MUST GO ON Don't get me wrong! I do NOT expect the new FunCom project to be great. I'm just following the progression out of curiosity. Same circus again? Let's see and enjoy the show xD

lol. no waiiii.
is it me , or is this post is made out of fail..
first joke.. then bashing. then hail the funcom..
you probably cant decide which one to stick with
It always amazes me how people who have been so disappointed by a developer latch on to new hope when they announce their new, cool "looking" title. Very rarely does a developer like this finally suprise us with a great game. Dev's with an excellent track record are the only ones seriously watch.
Could you give me that list please?

Same marketing speeches?
Same endless feature list, that will not at least be half in the final product?
They told us before launch of AoC they learned from their mistakes in Anarchy online. Did they?
Why trust them now?
Just let it happen and see, at least it will be fun watching the process
i was a bit puzzled by this post as well. calling funcom failcom and then say youre going to be in their new mmos forums didnt really make sense but everything i read in these forums generally doesnt anyway. i enjoyed what little time i played age of conan(open beta until that same september). after that it wasnt fun anymore so i quit. no hard feelings no bashing or anything and on to the next mmo.
When I saw that photos I think these two guys really deserve kick in the face (even without tshirts). Their faces are like two little boys who smashed favourite toy of their best friend. Maybe its just me, but I dont have feeling of fun from it, honestly its kind of scary to me.

Blizzard and Bioware. The only two companies I would buy any game from based on their past record.
Funcom.. the people who think they might have learned something from AOC are failing to realize they didn't learn anything from AO
well about the only thing worth seeing in those pics were the blonde and brunette chics. they were pretty hot.
Brunette was pretty!
Also, mildly amusing seeing Waldgeist pose with the failcom dude.
It is preferable not to travel with a dead man.
What can I say. You need to be pretty sad and devoid of a real life if you make it a lifestyle into hating a product or developer you don't like. Sad, sad, sad. I'm glad I got positive entertainment to fill my life with.
Good luck with your project. What are you trying to achieve by the way? If Funcom stop making games will the gaming universe be a better place? Then you wouldn't have games like Anarchy Online, Age of Conan, The Longest Journey and Dreamfall. All are distinct and innovative games.
Kids these days...

No Valve?

Bioware is a mixed bag. They've gained back a bit of my trust but after that vomit pile that was Neverwinter Nights and giving the axe to Black Isle, eh.
Remember, it has to be fun to be a game. Grinding is a bedroom activity, and the point is definitely not to do my wife as fast as possible.
Might be, that both your t-shirts and funcom are full of win. Life is full of paradoxes.
@howardb ;
You just didn't get the message.
This is no project. It wasn't about "hate" or the need to stop someone from doing software. If you go back in time ist was just an awkward situation:
-the game was a bug festival with most of the basic parts missing (and still missing...)
-nevertheless FunCom kept on talking about their "glorious" product, not accepting, they just messed up the game, even promoting low level content at the GC while more and more lev 80s were stuck in the non existing PvP and PvE endgame...
Most of the anger was expressed in the forums where no one listened to them. We were about to go to the GC anyway (like every year) and so we decided to take action.
If you do wrong you have to be able to handle the citique. They could play deaf in the forums (as they did for a long long time) but they couldn't do so on the GC. They had to face us. There were lots of arguments with other customers, the show wasn't working anymore. Weeks later Gaute was dismissed. It was 5 to 12.
Most of the people sit back and watch, even when someone lies into their face in the boldest kind of way. Others take action and give face to face feedback. I'm sure there is enough space for both kind of people in this world
So... You were the reason why Gaute left the company?..
Well, good to know
Locked: Trolling.
