Hate to tell you this but the starter area is the first big area to immerse people into the game. If you fail here you need to work even harder after it.

The reason they did it like this is because their free trial system will consist of unlimited access to the Tortage area 1-20. If and when you want to buy and play the REAL game, you then gain access to the whole game post 20.


This is the main reason once you get 1 toon to 20+, all your toons after that will start at 20 if you choose.

This was the most stupid thing they could have done and it shouldn't matter what you get in the retail package. The starter area is where you want to leave the customer with a great impression. All they have done was create nothing but bad press for them self. Maybe they can get out of it like they did AO or maybe they won't but right now a lot of pre-orders are being canceled and they can only blame them selves.

---

Says you, but over 15,000 people on the AoC forums have been given a great impression. Maybe you should look up the number of pre-orders that have been placed since the OB started?
Honestly, do research before posting your personal opinion as fact. You'll sound less like the "word of god".

I however, am getting tired of all the crybabies and children trying to bash a game I have come to love, and then go back to their WoW or WAR forums and start threads like "AoC has fallen like a sack of potatoes, WAR GREEN LIGHT!".

---

If you love the god damn thing so much go play it and stop trying to woe others into your mind. You are either posting in between crashes or can't play it solid enough or you wouldn't be here.

That being said most players judge an MMO on the first 10 levels this gives them an idea on the battle system and how it will pan out.

If you hate AoC's battle system well then you can figure that out the first 1-13 levels.

If you hate the quest setup you can find that out the first 1-13 levels.

If you hate how your machine runs it you can find that out the first 1-13 levels.

If you don't like the UI you can find that out the first 1-13 levels.

Obviously there is a reason why people are pulling away from the game, good for you and your guild their buddy glad you think you have some sort of superiority over everyone else cause your "guild" loves it. Stop being a damn fanboi and just accept that fact that any game can be judged the first couple hours, period.

I'd honestly love for someone to tell me why EXTROADINARILY negative threads like "WoW >Aoc", "WAR > AoC", "Aoc = GW", or even "AoC = needs a language filter and nudity turned off for everyone" and no one really flaming the OP, and is generally accepted.

However, when someone trys to defend AoC from these fanbois and children they are looked upon and immature and fools? Yet the afformentioned threads completely setting fire to AoC are based upon zero and assumed information that is completely false are considered truthful and holy??

Where have all the intelectually respondant people gone in the gaming world? Has everyone absolutely lost their mind or has WoW created a mentality that creates hateful and negative individuals? I'm not really trying to flame WoW whatsoever (would make me a hypocrit), however....it just seems so difficult to think otherwise considering the first day AoC open beta started there were literally 29 WoW > AoC threads up with over 600 WoW fans attacking people who even like the conan genre.

  You are far too emotionally attached to this company.  A terribly unwise decision, as they are not equally attached to you.

I couldn't care about the company, the fact the IP itself is being attacked by parent's and children alike are what are frustrating me and angering me beyond most logical standards. Take a game or genre you cherish the most, and then watch children making ignorant and biased statements about it trying to ruin it.

 

Then come back and tell me if wisdom truly matters to you at that moment sir :(.

  I have...you act like you are the only one that experiences these things.  Fact is, they are games...and I really don't care who says what about it.  You ever played D&D?  The tabletop...not the MMO.  If you wanna REALLY see something which, not only gets bashed, but gets you downright shut down in most social circles...look at THAT. 

  The IP isn't being attacked at all...in fact, a lot of REALLY big fans of Conan are attacking the game because it failed to deliver on the 'hook' it was promised to.  There are no bar fights....PvP is almost excluded to endgame, and the gear system is going to favor raiding.  People wanted to dive into the Conan world and be enveloped...and instead are getting fed a game full of loaded zoning coupled with the PROMISE of endgame content that will force them right back into the WoW raiding chain.

  To put it bluntly, Funcom promised a holy grail, and merely delivered 'another' MMO....amongst a sea of million others which operate very much the same way.  Yeah, people are pissed about it.  I'm not even sure why you are shocked.  LoTR didn't get this kind of flak because they didn't suggest that their game would be REVOLUTIONARY.  Funcom did, and its gonna bite them in the arse come release day.

Those of you judging AoC based on the 1-20 area that was stated as being the "tutorial" starter area of AoC you FAIL badly, and show just how little you know about judging the quality of an MMO.

I'm going to laugh at ALL of you naysaying kids listening to others and not trying it yourself (the open world itself past 20) a month after the game comes out.

You don't have to be a "fanboi" to not produce ignorant and stupid statements. Judging a game before you even play it?

 

YOU FAIL

 

AoC community is FAIL due to immature losers like yourself. Get over yourself already because you sir are fail.

Word , this is a deja vu community of Vanguard, The game is perfect , your computer sucks... lol

I am going to continue with my preorder on AoC but I can't stop smiling everytime I see another full page of new post bashing AoC. To sad I was not around this forum when the VG beta was.

-People who judge a game on the first 10 levels shouldn't be playing anything other than WoW.

-I don't hate the quest setup, it's actually really well done for being in the unpolished old client state that it's in. (Release client is atleast 3 builds ahead of open beta). People who hate the quest system are generally WAR fans, I won't bash them because atleast WAR didn't ripoff WoW like the reverse happened.

-My $600ish dollar machine runs AoC really well on HIGH tab settings. I enjoy myself playing at the moment, but leveling 8 toons 1-13 is getting tedious until saturday (WOOT!). People who are bashing because their comp blows and is more ancient than a 1970 pickup truck have no room to complain in the first place....go buy an xbox.

-Haven't seen a single person bashing the UI at the moment.

Because you are just as bad as the haters.

Let everyone have their own opinion for the game, if they like it or hate it that's their choice. Telling everyone what you think is just further telling us why you like or want to give it a chance.

I'm still on the fence neither like it or hate, but it fell short of so many expectations and has nothing next gen about it.

If a MMO doesn't capture my attention in the 1st few minutes, I won't bother with the next few.   I know if a game is for me pretty quickly.  It doesn't need to "grow" on me.  I'm not some bored teenager with loads of time on my hands.  If a game isn't top notch, I don't bother anymore.  I've seen it all and done it all.  Anything average isn't worth my time.

I'm sure other working, married adults with kids, who been around for a while have a similar attitude.

Irony is the post made that AoC will "kill" Vanguard.
Hey, here is your/their own crowd of blatent bashers.

 

I am going to continue with my preorder on AoC but I can't stop smiling everytime I see another full page of new post bashing AoC. To sad I was not around this forum when the VG beta was.

You just shot yourself in the foot with that statement.
