WoW... I actually left it a couple of months ago and I am in limbo. I really want this to be it! At least until WAR!

  3. Refusal to uphold their obligation
  4. Acknowledgment that Beta testing is ongoing DURING Launch
  5. Broken PvP in the form of respawn camping and instance jumping

Funcom is the Uwe Boll of game publishers.

 

There is absolutely no reason for me to pay $50+ to try a game I know I won't like. 

 

This is a funny argument. Considering they've probably broken all previous pre-order mmo-records, and most of the gameshops worldwide is close to selling out, if they haven't already, I'm not sure I understand where you're going. You say they get what they deserve and still their sales are beyond their own expectations? If you were a fanboi I would understand, but the rest of your post is negative. Your reasoning confuses me. You sure they get what they deserve - from your personal standpoint?

Just downed a new boss in Wow tonight.

These 25 men raids will never be copied in laggy loading screens of Conan.

You have to be a fool leaving Wow in the middle of the end game for an instanced loading box.

i decided to give up on wow, i have been playing it literally since release, loved it when arenas were first created.. never could do well in my favorite bracket (2v2) because i dont run cookie cutter setups.. and just overall always seem to lose to the same "counter combos" finally had enough of losing to bad players with better combos so now im going to play AoC instead.. even if AoC isnt balanced at least its something new and at least i wont have to deal with the stress that arena brings

one could counter by saying that you's have to be a fool to be playing a cartoon game full of 10 year old leet-talking smack-tards for three years or more when there are more advanced games available with content that hasn't been done to death.

Oh..by the way..if your loading screens in AoC last more than a couple seconds..you need new hardware. But that's why you still play WoW after all, isn't it?
