Age of Conan

Dispite the 'the game is horrible. The game will be deserted after the first month' remarks, the game is going strong with more and more people getting the game every day, and the servers are very populated, many of them under heavy load earlier tonight (saturday evening.)

I for one cant wait to see how AoC grows and ages. I hope they add Drunken Brawling soon and fix those big bugs they haven't hit yet . Many have already have, and while Funcom doesn't seem to be communicating as well as they could, they are pretty on top of things. I'm sure as the early rush and things calm down and we get a Devtracker on the main forums, we'll see a lot more posts by devs and others.

The game just came out ...So just because everyone bought it means it's good? No your reason is flawed like i said sales mean shit wait till a month is up. I even bought the game and I hate it. And 1million subs LMAO i doubt they keep 250k subs. I never said is was gonna dissapear but it is not going to be a big sucess. OH yeah and if warhammer doesn't live up to the hype I will bash them aswell. Sorry but AOC didnt live up to the hype!!!!11

<modedit>

Sorry but your full of shit.

I had to say it. Oh and you need to learn to type. Using 'teh' and '!!!11' and terrible spelling makes you sound like a WoW kiddie. Not saying you are, but drop the habit, it makes you look stupid.

So if we added GTAIV on both consoles, does AoC still beat them?  And do we add AoC Xbox 360 when that launches too?

So ummm, big deal if it has more sales than GTA IV for the month; as a majority of the fans of the series have already bought!  When that majority is bought up, the sales slowly drop and then the next big title that month{being AoC atm} takes the spot!  The GTA series is popular, but not enough to hold good rank for a long period of time!

Once the free month is over those that stick with it will let everyone know across the interweb how their server population is holding!  Since Funcom I doubt is going to release #'s anytime soon with the fiasco thats been going on with them!

Many of the MMOS that have come out recently more then 95% of teh current MMO player has bought them the day they came out cause everyone is looking for teh next best thng. Your also talking about  europe which is the home base for Funcom.  Sales don't count for shit in the MMO market it's the number of accounts still active after a month. Here is a list DDO, Lineage 2, City of heroes...and many more but don't feel like entertaining a monkey. Ask anyone on AOC if they will be around after teh free month most will say no just killing time.

<modedit>

 I'll be around after the free month as will be everyone in my guild. The game rocks!! Sorrry you hate it so much, you never said why though so i guess maybe the setting wasn't your cup of tea or maybe you found the gore and occasional breasts morally offending. That being your opinion I won't try and chang it, but don't think for a instant you speak for the majority of gamers.

   BTW am at work or would be playing right now rather then reading these posts

Our AoC chapter has over 1 000 people in it and not a single person left or is planning to leave - this game is that good !

Infact its so good we are getting huge influx of people from EQ2 now ( something that we did not anticipate ).

It really isn;t worth it to listen to all the people complaining about things they have no idea about.  It's a great game, go buy it, play it, you will like it !

Funcom is doing a great job on patching, maintenance etc..

congratz to AOC for the success, these wow kiddies cant accept aoc as the new king of mmo's. so all you kids stay on your ugly mmo's AOC ftw!
