Age of Conan

DAOC did, EVE still does.

by continuing to subscribe to AoC, you are essentially endorsing the Funcom model of release an unfinished beta with unimplemented features ON THE BOX, then get suckers to pay you while you fix it. You are endorsing HYPE over polished content.

it's wrong.

I won't say how I voted, but I will say that I voted based on what's best for the mmorpg genre. If more people make their voices heard about how this game is grossly unfinished, buggy, or un-fun then more developers will see that. Honestly, take a step back and look at this game as a whole, from level 1-80. Ask yourself is this something you want to see again with another mmorpg? If you answer yes then keep subscribing and keep playing, and let them know. If you answer no then keep posting and let the developers know and unsubcribe. Let people know how you feel. Don't lie it will only hurt this genre, and more developers will continue this path of releasing games in the future.

Excellent post!!!  wish there were more like you around this website. :)  We need to keep this genre moving in the right direction, i.e. a direction that each of us personally want.  That may conflict with others but all we can do is try to keep things moving in what we consider to be the right direction.

I voted Very disappointed, only playing free month since you didn't have the correct option for me:

Very disappointed and didn't buy the game but played in the closed beta up until last week.

Do people expect an MMO to release without flaws? I need a serious answer here.

 

I don't see where he said NO FLAWS, but rather, he said, "unimplemented features ON THE BOX".

Having a real nice time in Conan and it has a great community too.  

Just some more work on patching and stuff and it will be even more fun !

subscribing to AoC tells developers you are bored of generic mmos and helps the genre move out of stagnation its currently in.

Completely disagree. I'd MUCH rather a buggy but more original games like AoC than wow clones with no bugs such as LotRO.

Moreover, do you expect to pay the rent on said office building while the builders fix it? Esepcially when the builders said on the lease that all features were working.
