Age of Conan

Whoa whoa whoa... what??

Where are all these problems coming from? I expected to come on here and see a ton of positive posts about how the game has improved by leaps and bounds from what we all saw in the beta, but instead I see this?

I have had zero problems playing so far, and my framerate from open beta has doubled with this release client. I've never crashed, and lag is below 100ms consistently.. it's never spiked yet.

So, where are all these problems coming from? I sure as hell haven't found them yet.

I do believe it was a better launch than most people exepcted, but I can't say it was a major success.  I would say it was a very good success that, IN GENERAL, beat the expectation of the masses.

There definitely seems to be some patching issues, some driver/compatibility issues, and other various things to a select group of people.  Fairly typical stuff for a new mmo being release, but still ungawdly irritating for those people experiencing it which can influence their opinion's of the game in a major way.

I was not expecting a flawless launch myself, as I don't think anyone was.  I was NOT expecting for it to be as smooth as it was for the general masses.  I, for one, tip my hat to Funcom for exceeding my expectations.  Work's not done yet tho, gotta help out the people who ARE experience problems!

And to those people who are experiencing problems, I feel for you, I really do.  It sucks and there is no way around it until Funcom shakes out the kinks.  Knowing what I know now about how enjoyable the game and launch experience is for me, I wish I could share that with you.

June 2001 Funcom released Anarchy Online, probably the 1st or 2nd worst release of all time, only WWII Online could argue they had a even worse release.

Understand this. The reason you got AoC in the mail yesterday was because Funcom understands their horrilbe track record releasing MMO's and didnt want people canceling the pre-orders after experiencing the EA. Paying 5 bucks is a cheap way to see if a company has lived up to the hype they created or failed.

People got their copies in the mail when they did because it's not feasible for some people to download 13gigs of game client so getting a copy just in time for Early Access so they could install off cds worked in their favor.
