The writer that wrote this article knows 100x more than you do on just about anything pertaining to this mmo. You should seriously consider actually reading both articles before thinking this guy is calling the game "stabe" or "unstable"

every single customer of AOC goes now and chancels his AOC account.  Thats the best way to tell the MMORPG gaming companies that this is NOT acceptable.  If it means that Funcom goes bankrupt and AOC will fail - then so be it.  Let that be a lesson to what happens to MMORPG games that are launched without showing the gamers the respect of an acutal working and playable end product.  

I will only chancel my acccount when every other subscriber has chancled there account. Whats is the point in making a speech if only 1 man will read it? What is the point in canceling a subscription if it makes no difference? What is the point in having a mass suicide if only 1 man kills himself?
See what im getting at? if a chain reaction cannot get everyone to do something, its pointless to do it yourself if you think it will get everyone else to follow those foolish footsteps to doom.

Ok ill start the chain, Cancelled my account wont be going back.  Ill wait on Stargate and a few others and see if they learn the lesson that Funcom did not.

Old adage: Dont tick off paying customers, keep em happy and they will go the mile or in this case $15 a month.

  you reread it mr troll, he called it stable, im not going to dig through the damn article to find it so you can go troll it up yourself.

After reading this I kind of chuckled to myself, you could replace the AoC with WoW, and in almost every complaint, it was the same thing seen during the WoW launch, in fact now that I think about it, Vanguard, SWG, and Asherons Call 2 too.

I dont remember hearing anything bad about the DaoC, or City f Hereos Launch.

I think the OP should change the name of his article, it has nothing to do with the anatomy of a launch, just rename it too "I didn't like AoC Launch, and here is why."

Nah, the title is fitting because hes talking about the AoC launch and the game itself. Sure it would also fit an overall article on the genre, but it fits here as well.

Great... now if Matt had only been writing for MMORPG.com 6 years earlier, he would've killed almost every major MMO out there before they took off.

Seriously, can I say he's wrong in what he says?  No.  However, there are nicer ways to put things than to write 3000 words about how bad a game is.  With the number of people writing about how they disagree with these articles, I'm surprised that the managing editor hasn't written to say that they don't support nor deny the editorials and explain their purpose.  That's one way to reaffirm that it's an opinion section and not a rant.

Though I decided to research Matt a little.  Based off what I've researched about Matt so far is, he's a very nice person who lives near Funcom's home offices.  My theory is he was looked over for a job and this is how he's getting his revenge.

"In particular it is less female-friendly than other games on the market,"

Matt - you can take that comment, tear it into large sections and stuff bits of it into every hole you have that's almost big enough for a piece, you 20th century relic piece of chauvanistic jerk.

The fact of the matter is that a large number of the women that I know from my various WoW guilds (which have hovered for the last couple of years at being around 20% being 'chick-gamers') have purchased Age of Conan, and they're loving the **** out of it.

What the he** makes you think that AoC isn't "female friendly" - the (hopelessly, hopelessly outdated) thought that girls don't want to kick ass? What, you think that girls only want to play crap like Hello Kitty online?

News Flash, my wife (who is hardly an exception) is all over Fatalities. She's picking up Brutal Gear every chance she gets - nothing makes her night more than jumping a higher level player and ending the fight with a Fatality. (heck, even if she loses, if the other guy scores a fatality, she /salutes him via tell).

"less female-friendly..."

Pft.

Neanderthal.
