I agree totally it is probably the worst MMORPG that i have paid to play i still laugh at most of the folk here who defended it and have quit themselves.

Funcom released the game because they knew they wouldn't stand a cat in hells chance against WAR/WOTLK.

The game from the start up until i quit was a chore to play it was buggy and completely unbalanced.

I will never buy another game from Funcom again but i should have really learnt my lesson from their previous game which is labeled by many MMORPGs as the worst release of all time.

well it WAS quite entertaining up until lvl 20 and still somewhat amusing to lvl 35 - 40, but after that the gaps in doable quests just got way to big. and at 55+ it was pure hell.

spent 50 - 65 doing hardass red quests, and even with 8 life stealers up i never really did stand a changce against most of them, even if i did try and kite them because they would break off sooner or later even if my pets were whacking at them.

but the game did fail misserably in the pvp departement, the pve part still has potential but i cant see the pvp aspect of the game to ever be as good as they claim it to be.

maybe if they make a total revamp of that part it might, but i doubt they will ever get the fundings for it so they are stuck with what they have, even if they do change some minor things they cant really do that much.

/edit: and the fact that they are already working on an expansion isnt exactly making me feel confident about their intentions either.

i just hope they aint gonna do a Turbine. IE release an expansion, wait a few months and then kill the servers as they did with AC2.

Yes i remember how fun my Necro was when they nerfed the hide for us.

The fact my pets didn't TAUNT was just stupidity from the devs.

I still cannot believe how FAIL this game is after all the hype.

I went on the forums the other day and reading storys about folks with gemed up gear 1-2 shotting folk.

I hope FC go bankrupt after the trash they put out.

Quit some week after I got to 80 and got bored of FFA pvp with no gains.

Hear ppl are stacking gems like crazy to 1 shot eachother nowadays, sounds horrible.

Hear no PvP patch in either.

Thing is once they get rid of the 1 shotting, implement a pvp patch with all bonuses and whatnat it will be a whole other game. They should obviously not released the game as unfinished as it was, but onthe other hand would it survirved another broken deadline, not sure.

The PvE never bothered me, and I played some 3-4 hours a day as most, and got to 80 without too much work in 3-4 played days kinda, thats under 100 hours wich they said it would take, roughly.

What people did wrong was doing the quests xD.. all smart ppl grinded their way to 80 with no sweat, I saw ppl going from 45 to 80 in 2-3 days time, like they HC gamed from friday to sunday then they were 80.

gems isnt working in pvp anymore. they only work for white hits for melee characters but not for styles or DD's/dots.

[Polluxo]

The game had so much hope, I just wish all the stuff they promised could've been done.

[Ctuchik]

theres still hope i suppose. if nothing else we will see it in the expansion....

There is no hope mate generally MMORPGS that have a massive fail at release never recover to put anything out to draw a huge crowd back ;/

Vanguard
Matrix Online
POTBS
Tabula Rasa
Auto Assault

All prime examples of a buggy/not fit for release games going down the pan and never making a full recovery.

Auto Assault was closed down last year i think and i remember playing that game at release, it was very fun but the glaring bugs destroyed any future the game might have had.

The majority of MMO players these days simply won't put up with bugged to hell games/content missing that was promised and will vote with their wallet when it comes to resubbing.

AOC has taken a huge hit in subscribers and in my opinion it will never recover a decent amount of subs for the devs to put decent content patches out and a worth while expansion.

I hope AOC is a lesson for future MMORPGS no matter how big ya franchise name it won't save you if the game sucks dick.

for what they're worth looking at xfire's hours played statistics it's still not looking too good

Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

wish could see the graph over a period longer than a month though

Well, wierd part of all this is that you are still here crying about the game.

You of anyone was the person bitching the most about everything about the game on this forum.

I didn't think the game was totally worthless but it got boring and pointless after a few weeks of lvl 80 playage so I quit, nothing bore to it then that really. Don't like it you quit, whining about it, especially here is rather futile, unless your genuinly upset about it Oo..

Well PvP patch and changes are inc, so if they give out 1 month free subs for people that left ( wich I think is the only way they will get anyone back ) I might hopp onboard again

After all the game has alot more potential then say WAR wich esentially is a bad mix of wow + daoc, atleast how I see it

Givf free sub!!

I'd still play it, but their broken 3d engine won't let me.
