Age of Conan

First a miracle has to happen to keep them in business.

Second who in their right mind would buy more garbage from Failcom? There's not a chance in hell that I will ever buy anything from F#$kcom again for any reason.

I've said it once, and I will say it again...

"Anyone STUPID enough to buy AoC's expansion (thus donating even more money for the ability to get ripped off and laughed at by FunCom) when the content they are going to add should have been in before launch.... needs to be drug out into the street, have their testies tied to a ATV, and driven through a cactus field.... U SHOULD NOT BREED"

"I am mscouts, and I approved this message"

After Anarchy Online fiasco Funcom's expensions made a lot of impact and lots of those "trolls" which claimed I would never buy another Funcom product did infact bought expensions and were playing AO for several years.

p.s. Not saying that will happen to age of conan.

The big patch that has been waiting for 3 months will be in the expansion and it will be released next month.

fact,

The funny thing is Funcom only gets 20% of the box revenue.  At an average of (guessing) $40 US a pop, that is $8 per box. 

Ultimately it will be a last ditch attempt to return to a profitable subscriber level.  They will be well below that by then.  Like, 150k short.

Pretty sure the last thing Age of Conan needs is more PR about Vapor.

So what happened to the free kingship expansion that is supposed to come out this winter? :D

"Hey umm... guys? Where is all of the stuff that was promised?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know, working sieges with hundreds upon hundreds of people, DX10, balanced classes, an end game, items that worked, glitch free--"

"Woah woah woah, we never promised any of that!"

"Yeah you kinda di---"

"No no no, just look at the water! It's AMAZING how much detail we put into it! And we have 17,000 different versions of grass!"

"Wait, what about all the---"

"And our combat! You can dodge, duck, evade, all that cool stuff!"

"But the combat doesn't even wor--"

"We have had over a billion people buy our boxes!! IT'S AMAZING!!"

And so on. Three months later...

"Hey dude, what's up? We haven't seen you for like 2 and a half months!"

"Well, that's because I quit."

"What, why would you ever want to quit AoC?"

"Well, first of all you flat out lied about the game for cheap box sales, and secondly you don't even listen to your custo--"

"No worries, dude! We're making an expansion that will be sure to BLOW YOUR HEAD UP! That's right, BLOW IT ALL OFF! GORE!!! BOOBS! ALL CAPS!! AMAZZING!!"

"There is little gore and boobs in this game..."

"We're adding it in NOW!! And this time, we'll also bring in DX10!!! SIEGES!!! MAJOR GAME FIXES!!! END-GAME CONTENT!!! AAAAMMMMAAAZZZIINNNNGGG!!!"

"WHAT!?!? You promised this stuff at release and you guys are trying to sell it off in an expan--"

"JUST 50 BUCKS AND IT'S ALL YOURS!! GORE AND BOOBIES!!! ALL CAPS! BECOME THE KING!!! AMAZING!!!"

"..."

what people like me do is hopelessly  wait for miracle to happen

I invested (ove $1000 for a new computer + $40 for mammoth code on ebay + SE )

After investing quite a bit , when the game fails so miserable u refuse to believe that u wasted all the money.

Finally on aug 20 i put the curtains down , humbly accept my foolishness and cancelled my subscription.

Without , even fulfilling basic game as promised even mentioning expansion is unthinkable.

For me its done expansion or not, 2009 has AION and GW2 coming

There are a lot of stupid people who will buy this expansion regardless of the current state of the game, and regardless of them adding what they orginally promised.

Warhammer will make the same announcement 6 months after launch, announcing the readding of the 4 cities and 4 classes that they cut, along with the removal of the level reward advancement system, real world siege and castle sieges, and all the other promised crap.

Man im glad star wars the force unleashed, fable 2, endwar, naruto ninja storm, red alert 3, and a lot of other single player games are coming out in the next 2 months, because mmo are a sad fucking dissapointment these days.
