<3 You know I will.  I don't post about bugs and missing content for fanboys like this.  I post it for the people who are wondering about the game.  A friend of mine wanted to try the game out with me.  I told her the state of the game and she agreed that we shouldn't bother.

 

maybe a few months from now we will give it a try.  but thanks to people posting all about bugs and missing content, me and a few of my friends have been saved from an unfinished product.

 

suggestion

form your own ideas

read professional reviews on many different sites to get facts

don't be a sheep and follow nay-sayers

I'm thinking you're not really serious since who wouldn't do the things I just listed.

 

Honestly I don't know how to respond to stupid things like this. 

maybe I should use a whole lot of different lines like you.

Why should one go to professional sites to get facts, when you can get them directly from the player base?

I'm the sheep because I don't want to play a half finished bug filled game? Why is it that people who post FACTS about the game (say... an entire gender is broken) are nay-sayers?

I know you're serious and thats what scares me.  People who honestly think anyone who says anything negative about their new game is wrong, people who don't understand that games aren't godly or horrible, they are in between.

 

You sir, are either stupid or lazy.  You either don't understand what people are saying to you, or simply don't bother actually adressing it.  It has nothing to do with your position on AoC, only your method of discussion.

 

I think AoC will be a good game and odds are I will end up playing it pretty seriously in the future.  But in its current state I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole.  People on these forums are full of blind hate and blind adoration of the game which makes it hard to find real info, but not impossible.

 

Its thanks to people here that I've been able to collect enough information of the state of the game to decide if I should buy the game or not.  Why is it that collecting information from them makes me a sheep?  I'm glad they told me females attack slower than males due to combat animations.  Its great that people spread the word that sieges were full of bugs and exploits.  And the fact that crafting is broken never would have come up if the "haters" hadn't been around.

 

If you can't understand that some people understand the game and don't believe everything they are told then there is no hope for you.  AoC Doesn't have 700k subscribers.  The wording was careful in funcom's post that they had 700k accounts created.  this number is tiny considering most MMOs sell the most right at launch (its amazing that WoW is still selling).  Lineage2 posted that they sold over 13million... over a year ago.

Thankyou!!!!  I loved the irony when he tells you to do market research and then not to listen to market research because it is conformist.  I have been told by friends who have this game (and who have as vigorously supported the game as direst of fanbois on this site) that I care too much about what others think of the game.  I on the other hand think that other peoples' opinions may have just saved me 50 dollars.

There are not 700k active accounts, you read that wrong if you think that.

 

yes the game will still be a success, just a niche market sized one and not a major one.

not a real number.
