Funcom is the most loyal company to their subscribers and does a way better job at communicating than any other MMO company has ever done.

So ask yourself when is Funcom gonna buyout whats left of Blizzard and SOE very soon I am thinking.


 

At first, I thought this was a sarcastic response.  Then I saw the name....

If this is the same Protus, he's probably one of the biggest fanbois in existence on the US Funcom forum.  Not an impartial bone in his body.

Welcome, Protus!  The humor you engender will be a welcome breath of fresh air around here.


 

The biggest and most well know AoC fanboy "was" Special-Fred from vnboard. But about 7-8 month something went wrong. I think he was Beta or something but he switch to WAR. Never heard of this Protus before?.

You'll see him post regularly on the Funcom AoC US board, usually with the "AoC is unconditionally great, Funcom can do no wrong" message.

He's almost become a caricature of himself there.

Dude while appreciate you trying to act like me as least get your damn facts straight.

700,000 was the last reported number of subs or people who have entered a retail key.

1,000,000 was the last reported shipped to retailers.

Anyhow They will never buy Blizz or SOE as those companies could buy out FC anyday of the week with the change they have laying around. :)

 OH!! and its not Protus-AOC its Protus-AoC :D

Ambition and hope are just a noose around my F#$%ing neck.

This topic is idiotic and ill tell you why.

FC does not make the same cash as SOE but i can assure you they do quite well with AO amongst other things.

Dont forget that AO while free to play STILL makes money for them every month.How do you think they acquired the Conan license and developed it?

This is not the same situation as Sigil and VG.Sigil lost ALL direction in development due to its irresponsible leader and used up most of its funding as well.

AoC is doing just fine in its early stages no worse than any other mmo at release.

The king and the pawn go back to the same box at the end of the day.

Im sorry but I have to disagree with the OP, no game developer's, no matter how low the subscriptions drop would ever let SoE take over a game of thiers.  I speak truths.

I have heard some bad things about SOE, but I think SOE would be the one lacking interest in this deal.

Uh...forget to take your meds today?  While I'm not down with the AoC hate, you seem a bit delusional.

Shhh his posts make me laugh. They're worse than Avery's! It stands in such stark contrast to everything else...on every other board pretty much...everywhere!


 

Glad you think my posts are wrong or bad in some way. Majority of my posts are in line with the same thoughts on guild forums, tally up the top 10 guilds on each server, visit their forums and read the same stuff. If the game was bad they wouldnt be playing and they make up more than half the current subs most likely.

hehehe i have read your forums. I have many friends who are in your guild, so to say everything is hunky dory in there is a great spin..considering almost all people can only read the open to public area.


Interested in a friendly, fun, mature guild? Then clicky the siggy!

i agree...other than the Matrix, and what they and LA did to SWG....most of their games are a caliber above AoC.
