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

  • I think an important omission in the article is that the bank/mail system was locked for what, a week? If you can describe the launch as anything but rocky, missing a key feature due to exploits is certainly part of that description. What about the folks rerunning quests that hit level 80 in the first few days? I think some discussion of how broken certain systems were is reasonable.

    I think it will end up being an excellent console mmorpg, and an average pc mmorpg.

    I think the biggest thing working against this game is the Euro Dev team. They need some major US PR/Customer service boosts ASAP. It's gotten so bad one of the devs (out of frustration?) posted the following last week:

    "Don't let the reading the forums get you down."
    

    Most of us on the dev team have been playing the game, and its been nice to see the different things people talk about on the OOC channel and hear peoples feedback. Sure there are issues, sure there are things we wanted to achieve that we were not able to for initial release. But we still have plans for the game. Currently the forums tend to be a very bad snapshot of the game community as a whole. Especially during a turbulent time like an MMO launch, people are far more likely to go and vocalize negative opinions then they are positive ones. So if you are sitting here reading the forums and maybe have not gotten your copy installed, patched ready to go or played yet I encourage you to not lose hope and hang in there while you try the game for yourself. My personal play experience the people having fun outnumber the people complaining currently probably a good 10-20 to 1 ratio, and that's on a PvP server where most the complaining is about getting ganked anyway. Age of Conan is not for everyone, and we never said "Hey we want to be a WoW killer" that was never our goal. We hope you enjoy the game and we will continue to make it better for you the fans.

    The flow of info out of Funcom is TERRIBLE. They had a duping bug in the bank system so they took out banks/in-game mail for a week and a half.  Two days ago we had nearly back to back 4 hour downtimes for patches. The last of which brought the bank back online. Today we had a 4 hour down time today for this fix:

    Update Notes - 29th of May

    The following important fix is updated today:
    
    Withdrawing cash from the bank should now correctly add coins to your inventory instead of replacing the already existing ones."

    At least they've quit doing fixes in the early evening (US timezones).
