I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself.

I am Dominisi, one of the new game correspondents for Age of Conan.  I'm not sure if I'll be the only one, but hey, might as well put in a post, let you all know who I am, and where I stand with the game.

I'm a PvP player, hardcore, through and through. I got enough of that PvE BS when i was playing WoW, and I've been a PvP player for serveral years now.

Am I happy with AoC? Marginally.

Am I excited with the potential it holds? Very.

So my job here won't be to bash FunCom on the apparent failures (releasing the game 6 months early) but to give you all information on upcomming changes to the game, and Funcom's new content etc. that is suppost to be comming down the line here soon.

Hope to provide some good articles for you all soon.

My turd has lots of potential cause it can be used as fertilizer, fuel, cement, artistic material etc. In the end of the day it's still a turd.

Long story short... How can you see potential unless the very core of this "game" is changed so deeply that the outcome is another game is beyong my understanding.

Pleased to meet you and look forward to reading your posts/threads. Will make a change to hear from somone new to these forums...at the moment it's growing very old and tired as there is no one left here with enough experience to put anything interesting forward anymore.

Have you any info about upcoiming changes/additions you could tease us with to start?

With the enhancements that should be comming down the line it should be a vast improvement over what we currently have.

You wont find any ammount of enhancments or extra content that will make any difference to people that dont actually like the game....maybe implement a race track and pimped up cars...or maybe hedgehogs that run like the wind. But if the game stays AoC then those people still wont like the game :)

But hopefully the players that do play the game will have a lot to look forword to.

Welcome.

Quick question:

Who made you correspondant - Funcom or MMORPG.com?

How exactly did you become a correspondant and what are your qualifications?

Points to banner at top of page.

That is what i thought, but that only answers half of my question.

What qualifications do you have as a games correspondant and in particular for AoC.

I am not trying to dismiss you, but i would like to know the background someone has when they are in a more "official" role on a forum i visit.

Well, I guess to list some of my qualifications:

I'm a software engineering major with an emphasis in game programming.

I've played atleast a dozen different MMOs

Beta tested several dozen.

I have written communications skills.

I'm an avid gamer, and I guess nobody else wants the job.

I've had experience in the customer service department for several MMOs

And to top it all off...

I'm an intelligence analysis for the USMC.

So, to recap.

I have experence in the game industry with an analytical background.

Man, I don't envy you covering AoC.  You have titanium cajones.

Good luck man.

Right - thanks for taking the time to explain this. Good luck with your role on here, you definitely have a tough crowd.
