• • PARAGON vs UNITE Poll

  • I voted UNITE but in the interests of fairness I'm going to wait to see which side I can best play like an MMO version of Commandos.  If Paragon folks play like hardened, stealthy Navy SEAL type operators, I'm in.  If it plays like Rambo, well, could someone help me tie my bow tie?

    You're kidding right?  Level 13 max?  'How fast you can do it' contest promoted by the publisher?  What happens if the results are under 24 hours or something like that?  You think I'm gonna pony up 50 bucks and pay monthly for a game that can be leveled that quickly?  Forget it.  I want my next MMO to have substance and compelling content so (1) I don't feel that the leveling process is a grind , and (2) so there aren't a bunch of maxed out kiddies running around complaining of no end-game content other than PVP.

    BTW, I'm not in the beta, so why would I care about a contest that should have been posted on their beta forums only...  The results certainly shouldn't be publicized as widely as the contest.

    
    The contest is run by Fileplanet.. so its on the fileplanet website.   I agree tho that it should have only been mentioned on Funcoms beta forums[...].

    Considering the prizes are all coming from Funcom, and the announcement quoted in the OP is from funcom, I'd think it's Funcom's ridiculously bad PR department that's doing this.  But yeah I agree entirely, too.

• • Age of Conan: Hyborian Leveling Contest

  • I'm not entirely sure I understand why FunCom's PR department thinks it's imperative that they widely publicize a contest for an open beta that by their own admission is not actually an open beta, nor do I understand why mmorpg.com felt compelled to email me about this "news" since it really could have been better-handled by funcom's internal email list, but, um, thanks for the hot tip?
