Age of Conan

Great, downtime was just extended by another hour.

After the 1 1/2 day early access this is getting to be a bit much!

It was just released calm down, I know it may seem like a lot but they may be expieriencing (spelling?)problems we don't know about.

Also holy crap I just got 69 posts woohoo!

everyones gonna be on these forums anyway to talk about what fun they are having so relax and see what awesome threads pop up :)

Good thing most people in the US are in school or at work atm. It's your own fault if you took a week off of work to play an MMO on release week, they tend to be shaky at best.

hey it sucks but its better than having a buged and laggy game

My guess is that they are fixing Lacheich (SP?) issues so it's not bugged, it was working perfectly in beta, IDK what they fucked in there!

I agree with the OP. Yes I do understand it was just released. As for these problems we dont know about, they should of been  handled before release dont you think? I dont think its a stretch to ask for a product to work after you pay/purchase.

I dont pretend to be a tech of sorts or understand the in and outs of making/sustaining an mmorpg. I do understand when someone purchases a car you dont tell them " hey, you may not beable to drive it tomorrow because we didnt get all the bugs out". That goes for anything you purchase. its annoying and upsetting to put down 50 bucks for something, come home and install/patch and then see that its unavailable to play. A mere 24 hrs after launch and what some 2/3 days after the Free Play some got to participate in.

Im not here to say whoa.. games going to fail. Im here to say this type business model where we continue to test a product we are paying full price for is getting a bit old.  You can come and give all kinds of examples of how all the other mmorpg companies have done the same and we just have to deal with it, well im here to say you dont and you shouldnt have too.

Bottom Line, you pay for something it needs to be ready to roll.

Again with the car analogies.... look, mankind has been building cars for over 100 years, and we sort of have it down to a real science by now.  Even so, haven't you ever been told to never purchase a new car model the first year its released, because there's always more defects in them than succeeding model years that have to be worked out of the first release.

Making MMO's is a relatively new business, and most teams are made up of first timers with limited history, OK, not Funcom.

I've come to expect this sort of behavior, even if I'm not thrilled by it.  Hey, I play EVE and its been out more than 4 years and sometimes when those patches and upgrades go in we experience very long downtimes. (everyone knows to set a long training skill on release/patch day just in case)

I agree with Kankan. i dont buy shit just to wait and use it. when i buy it i want it to be ready. How many people have bought a 360 game and were told nope not right now wait?! NONE. so how come we as PC gamers take it. I jsut dont understand it. and then when people get pissed about it u get the typical... Well its a MMO blah blah blah. STFU. its people like u why the companies do it.
