lol after all the lying about AOC this guy still has the guts to show his face again?
A couple of thousand players would beat his ass up if they saw him irl...
go go AOC all over again..and still people will not learn and fall for it again and again and again...
At least Ragnar Tornquist is working on this game. I'm sure there will be a lot of memorable characters and nice story.
I don't usually wait for games I just play whats available when I want to play MMO so I started AoC in the end of last year and I'm loving it. (Didn't even give AoC a look before so I have no idea about the lies :] ) Who knows if this game will be awesome as well.
So the Erling "fat lying pig" Erlingsen is back?
That's a guarantee this game will be disappointment.

I honestly had more FUN playing AOC at least through Tortage than i had in MANY other games.VG was my most favorite beginning because it had an EPIC feel to it.I think AOC was a game sort of rushed,but i also believe Funcom did not realize what the new wave of gamer is like.The New wave gamers does not care about game,they just want lots of speed levelingmechanics like quets,so when their speed leveling was slowed the yall started to complain.That imo is complaining for all the wrong reasons,the graphics were nicely done,animations were great and many otehr aspects of the game were done quite well.
I know about the PVP/Seige concerns,but hoenstly that is such a SMALL aspect of the game,if that is the ONLY reason someone is playing,they really should be playing a FPS so they have that constant team action.AOC was/is suppose to be a RPG not just an all out PVP game.
I am 90% sure Funcom will make sure to deliver this game fully done,as they now know players only care about speed leveling and not FUN or playing the game like they claim.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
U like it good for you..there is allways a minority that like bad games...if aoc is good why did it drop from 800.000 players to 100.000 in 2 months? and now at 80.000 and droping.
But good that you like it...some people just cant stand playing bad quality games. The graphics are good..really good..its one of the features that make the game worse...its heavy, ultra instanced.
So many good IPs down the the drain...Conan, star trek...its a shame.
I'm looking forward to The Secret World, so thanks for the tip on the new info.

Ah the bad memories. AOC could have been a great game but it was not the game they said it would be, though I have to say it's the only MMO in which I completed a character (barbarian) I liked it. It felt bad that the class I chose was a bit gimped and later even nerfed of it's own redeaming quality.Still it was okay, but once finished the limitation of the small instanced world showed als the lack of end game content. On hitting 80 within weeks I canceled my subscription.
Anyway this guy who promoted AOC lied about how the game was. It was not bad but sure not what he said it was. So any game he is working in I would wait and see before I would dare to buy it.
Alright. Are you serious?
Speed leveling doesn't matter. Though it matters that leveling feels fluid and smooth. Fun is the most important aspect of an MMO, that's why you are playing a game. If you level so fast and hit the cap, what are you going to do then?
Thank god that YOU are not a game designer. Because with your "enlightments" your game would fail.
I'm no fan og saying a game is bad, simply because I don't like it. If we are going to use the arguments the haters in here are using, we could use them to justify "great" programs like idiol, and reality tv. As most in here will agree on, that is not good television. Just because the playerbase hype a game, everyone having their own thought on how they want the game to be, then get disappointed is not always ONLY the companies fault. And why is a niche game, or a game that has a smaller playerbase a bad game? People are different, and we don't need a mmorpg to have near a million players to be a good game. We need different games, and I'm happy we have some mmorpgs still going that are somewhat different than your standard wow game, even though they do not have a mil subs.
Good post Butter.
@ Wizardry,
There is a small percentage of MMO gamers that SUPERLEVEL, you just think thats all people care about because:
1) You care about it;
2) The COOL players you know care about it; or
3) Your experience in the MMO world does not exceed one WoW server
Wizardry was probably being sarcastic.
(Quick, I offered you a way out, take it)
I'm excited for TSW.
will TSW get bigger boobs than AoC?
Ellingsen is a spin man that his job.He could talk as much he wants he has no effect on the actually game, blaming him for aoc probelms or Tsw future problems on him is stupid.This is a example of shooting the messenger.
If you want to blame somebody blame the guy who was charge for both the launch of Ao and AoC,who no longer works at funcom.Twice Craig Morrision has clean up Gaute Godger mess they won't be a third time.
Just a reminder, this show is today

Wrong. The whole game was instanced with a small closed world, which made it epic fail.
Make us care MORE about our faction & world pvp!
Instancing was not a new feature or a bad one or a fail for that matter. In the long history of MMO's there have been plenty of games using heavy instancing and still being good (most popular is Guild Wars if I have to give example). It is other of issue if you don't like it personally, but many people, including myself, enjoyed both GW and AoC. I am sure instancing won't be issue or dumb down gameplay in TSW as well.
Come on, just crawl back under the rock you came from and keep playing wow on you laptopp.
AoC is way better than wow in many ways. That people got disseponted is bad, but there has been 7 large patches and now the expantion 11 of mai . The game won most improved game of 2009 here at MMORPG. I se that you are a wowfanboy sow keep playing your game and stop bashing other games you dont/cant play.
