The only way people canceling effects me is it makes me happy. For every person that cancels their pre-order due to a kneejerk reaction about the stress test just means one less retard I have to deal with in game.

Does that even make sense to you ?????

No ofcourse I wont cancel my preorder for a BETA that got some bugs..

The game is running great on my rig, got nothing to complain about, except the zoning and pvp minigames. Zoning just takes a few secs but it's zones :(, and I'm for open world pvp, not fpslike battlegrounds.

Hell NO!. No way I am cancelling, I found it quite enjoyable, great graphics, good gameplay, Kewl moves, questing, content. Why would I cancel?

I have been reading about a lot of "players" saying it crashes or whatever, the thing I know to be TRUE is that this is a BETA. Guess it takes a special kind of player to help fix the problems in a game they really want  to play and then another "type" to constantly bash an Unfinished product.

I am not going to argue, It runs fine on my box that I just built in Dec 07, not on highest, but Medium tweaked. I came from SWG Pre-CU/NGE and i also tested Vanguard and WOW and a lot of others. Yes there are tweaks needed, Yes there are Bugs "BETA" and yes there are a lot of players who are mad their machines cannot run it, But overall I have no problems with this BETA and will not be cancelling my pre-order.

Pre-order? Are you people really serious? Are you that new to MMO's or do you have that short a memory? This is the company that singlehandedly saved SWG from being the worst, most incompetent launch in MMO history. And it only took them a year after that to get AO into a playable state. While you are throwing your money away, can you throw some my way?

way to troll....Funcom had 0, nadda, zilch, nothing, zero, void, empty (i know..ran out of analogies) to do with SWG, past, present or future. Ever, developemental, production, nothing. Funcom wasn't even on the same planet with SWG.

Just out of interest, can any of the fanboys quoting the above give me an example of a game that had a terrible beta and a good launch?

Miagisan.... He wasn't saying it had anything to do with SWG.

He is saying that SWG would have been the worst launch in history, had it not been for Funcom and it's Anarchy Online launch.

From what I can tell he thinks that AoC is going to suffer the same fate as Anarchy Online....

He is probably right.

Let me try to make it clearer for you. SWG would have stood alone as the worst launch in history if Funcom had not robbed them of that honor with the incredible depths to which AO sank. There are many gamers who still laugh, groan, gnash their teeth remembering those early days (no not days, months) of AO.

But it just reemphasizes the sad point about MMO gamers...reputation doesnt mean a thing... grease the wheels with enough hype and the lemmings will trample one another to be the first over the cliff.

QFT.

So far all I have seen post in the favor of AoC so far in this poll are these "Lemming" creatures you speak of.

ahh my apology, i read your original post as if you were stating Funcom had something to do with SWG's launch. /bows out humbly
