Really, of the total number of people playing mmorpg's today, a very, VERY small percentage of them visit this site, and even less actually post here. So, this site only represents what that small percentage thinks of games and is by no means a measure of the overall opinion of anything.
Truthfully, a lot of the people here are bitter, jaded people who's favorite mmo is either dead, by way of dwindling population (like UO..*sniff*) or was broken by its creator (SWG). They don't have anything they wanna play, but then can't go back and play their old games to the same level of funzies. I expect they are not actually playing anything of the genre right now. So they sit here...and hate on everyone who actually might be enjoying a game that is currently out.
but I SWEAR I am not one of them, I just come here for the screenshots ![]()
Sadly, all of the people who spent every waking hour escaping reality by playing sandbox mmo's got kicked out of mom's house and had to get a real job...so now they only have time to play simple games like WoW...hey! THAT'S why its so popular!![]()
I remember seeing on the luncher that Funcom launched like 3 new servers. Not sure why they would do that to fit 70k subs. Ccareful with this article that you don't step in it.![]()

I think they were dishonest. I was looking forward to this game so much. They spend to much time on eye candy, and putting overkill on detail. They should have been making the game fun. Or finishing content. Whatever, I'll find another game, its not the end of the world.
The people who do the eye candy aren't the people who do content. It's not a case of having the wrong prioriies they just they didn't do the content before releasing.
Indeed, I am a CG artist. I create teh art of games, but not the content. That's code, which is not up to me. If you have a pretty game with crappy content, things don't work, etc, thats the code monkeys. If it looks bad, then thats on people like me (or the art director, if he's making it look crappy on purpose). Leave the Eye-candy guys alone, then did their job pretty well on AoC. however, things don't work like they were advertised, and thats on the other side.
Wow, this is almost as unfair as a level 80 one-hit killing a level 10! How obsurd!
