• • BEST PVE MMO

  • as far as game play goes Asheron's Call was one of the best/ funnest games I have played great community and PVE experience.

    Of course as far as graphics goes its at the bottom of the list I would have to say LOTRO is at or near the top.

    I tried VSOH and was not impressed with it's graphics.

• • Age of Conan: Roadmap for the Future

  • It may have been smooth for you once you got it but there were thousands and thousands of people who couldn't get in and days later when the preorder boxes didn't ship there were and are  people that did not have their keys to keep their preorder accounts active and could not get back in game until they receive the box.

    It may have been smooth for some but for many it was not.

• • Age of Conan: Roadmap for the Future

  • “While we have enjoyed the initial success for Age of Conan, we know that a solid launch is but the start when it comes to the MMO genre,”

     

    What is this guy smoking?

    I want some!

    the launch was far from solid, they may have sold a shit load of boxes that does not mean they had a solid launch.

• • Age of Conan: Editorial: Anatomy of a Launch - Part 2

  • "Why should a MMO company have to win a jackpot while other gaming companies can launch games without much problems ?   Is it because its online and that automaticly means it doesn't have to be ready ?   Just because it has the chance to download it l8ter ?   Sorry but Im not buying that.  You can say its unrealistic but as long as you and others MMO gamers think its unrealistic - then we keep gettting bad releases.  You go on and compare GTA 4 and AOC.  Potentials should count for NOTHING when it comes to any games.  You send it out in the box and thats it.   If MMO companies can't finance the whole production then they DON'T advertise those features on the Box and they DONT talk about those features week before release knowing it wont be in.  

     

    I dont care how bad any MMO launch has gone before.  Earlier MMO games are no excusies for new games to launch a) incomplete b) bugged c) without features.  If something then the MMO companies should be LEARNING what not to do.  Instead comments like from you are exactly telling them they dont have to bother.  Its perfectly fine to throw things out about a year before its actually at any state to be released.

    Its not my fault that Funcom has bad managment team.   And its defenetly not my fault that other MMO games didn't launched unfinished.  What I can say that when I played GTA 4 witch in many ways is way more complicated game in ALL departments, then Im just ashamed that the MMO comunity is trying to make up excuses for what AOC stands for.    And don't bring up the argument that one is single player and other is MMO.  Cause thats not valid.  Just compare the bugs on its own and then tell us why ppl should be paying simulare amount for those two games.... "

• • Age of Conan: Editorial: Anatomy of a Launch - Part 2

  • "@Dento - To be fair I think that Sigil employees cared very much.  The economic realities (which I've touched on already) are what doomed Vanguard.  Well, that and a couple of key decision points which went wrong. :(  I hope you're able to come back and play AoC when it is in a better state."

     

    There were and I'm sure there still are some employees that cared for VSOH no doubt but that fact is over shadowed and outweighed by the horrible management which is really what causes most of these problems with bad launches and upset customers.

    Poor decisions and even worse communication.

    I don't know who you are but if you are a funcom rep and you're looking to try and calm the mob why not step up and take responsibility for the screw ups and give us some clear communication of whats being down to fix the issues instead of  hollow and meaningless BS
