Go to this site, it checks your computer compared to the released specs and lets you know how well the game will be run, and where you can upgrade your unit to make it work better.

Someone mentioned saving up a few grand for a good pc. I just built a pc and only spent $800 all together with shipping for the parts and have a top-of-the-line PC. If your a smart shopper its not near that expensive.

I have : 2gb RAM, 3.2ghz AMD dual-core processor, 250gb HDD, Vista, and Nvidia 8800GT 512mb card. So it's not expensive if your a smart consumber, as with anything.

4 gig ram is better. Especially for an MMO, and you'll be running that pile of shit Vista in the background too.

DOOM THREAD

DOOM I SAY, DOOM.

This NDA beta debate to me seems a little weak.  We all want a complete and polished product no matter what we purchase.  So why then do we as MMO players absolutely have to have the inside scoop on everythin an MMO does?  I don't see movie fans bitching becuase they can't see a film in post production.  And honestly why would you want to?  Of course the movie/ game is going to be crap.  It hasn't been polished for release.  All you get are people who have limited experience of beta running around screaming doom becuase they tasted a 10th of a game which isn't finished.  And low and behold they are disappointed because the game isn't up to expectations.  Seriously what the f do you expect?

*passes around doom & gloom cookies*

Tea or coffee to go with that?

Anyways. "Biggest flop in history of MMOs incoming ?" I hope not. Can it get worse than what I've read happen to certain MMO's during/a couple of months after launch?

All I know is it can only get better with time. I hope Funcom listens to feedback and not whining.

Well first off the title of your thread is a tad off...

The biggest flop in MMO history (and AoC can't surpass it) was Vanguard.

Why?  With all the "hardcore" EQ1 people that expected a return to that type of game.  Brad McVanguard.. I mean he was like a god who walked the earth and created game worlds.

AoC.. well Funcom... for an MMO they have shown us Anarchy Online.  I was there.. I played it from launch for about two years.  Heck I even beta tested it.

I'm suprised that the game... is still around and to some extent that Funcom is still around.  (I'm not bashing funcom).

Anyway the point is.. to be the biggest flop.. you have to have the biggest anticipation.. and AoC just isn't there.  I have it pre-ordered... but its no where near the top of my "MMO's I was most excited about" list.

Beyond that...

Are you in beta?

Has there been some massive bunch of NDA leaks/breaks I'm not aware of? (as with vanguard).

Or are you just basing everything you are posting on videos you've watched that were made to show a certain aspect of something.

I mean I'm in another beta.. where they show amazing videos... but no where in the "beta" version of the game.. can you find what the video's show.

So I guess there are two extremes to that video thing... Not showing enough.. and tech demo's that don't actually exist in your product.

 

One of the biggest flops would have to be Dark and Light.

Vanguard was far from a really bad game.

 

Amen to that everyone allways says Vsoh,but so many ppl bought into the DnL hype,only to get a game that at best only had 25% of its mechanics working,pre order bonus still not deliverd to most ppl then the company robbed every single one of its subbers with continued payments being taken after cancelling,no refunds ever being done even when agreed,customer service that only replied to about 2% of all enquires, etc etc !

the list really does go on and on im nowhere near to covering everything that was and still is wrong with this game!,and even now there has been no patch to the game in over a year,it hadda go F2P and even worse they cant do shit with it untill the court hearings are done as they dont even really own the games gfx engine license correctly!

 

and FTR im not playing Vsoh i bought into that as well,allthough that compaired to DnL(yes i was a day 1 subber and yes still have DnL installed just coz i like the music and riding my dragon from time to time lol)Vsoh was an uber polished mmorpg release!,and that kinda says it all lol

I would say that AoC is going to be the biggest anticapted Flop of 2008.   Suggesting that it is going to be the biggest flop ever is over the top.  But keep in mind, I've been playing video games since 1977.

Just the sort of statements which will doom this game.  Especially given that 4gigs of ram is only available with Vista 64........  And who the fck has that yet?

I, for example, have Vista and 4gigs or ram, but obviously only 3 gigs is usable.  Either you knew that or should keep your mouth shut.
