If Funcom releases the expention and the new content ass a free patch update, would it help the game?

I can't see giving a new exp, and have to pay for it so that we can play the game as it was ment to be on release, can be a good chooise?

no it might help smooth over pissed off fans but it would cost them even more money. The ship is sinking faster then they can plug the holes.

It seams that mmorpg market is hard to conqure these days. People are expecting to mutch, or are the developers promesing far more then they could handle.

I think it's a bit of both really because at the moment WoW has so many people playing and that game is very polished so people who have generally played Wow or games that are polished like WoW do expect a decent launch.

Also unfortunatly Funcom did promise too much but they also blatently lied to their customers which is not a very good tihng to do. I just hope Mythic has a nice launch as i don't want any more dissapointments myself.

Is this a trick question?

To add content FunCon would have to actually program it first.

I am a bit in the dark concerning the term 'new content ass'...  If this is a reference to Erling Ellingsen my experience tells me: He might have an ass of epic proportions but the contents seem to be mostly hot air!

I vote: not likely!

Dude expansion is far away and things in expansion are not meant to be on release.
You do know that expansion is planed for 2009 and by how many issues they have I dont think it will be like early 2009 more likely late 2009.

There is a lot of things they need to fix/add so that game is worth the money you/we already payed.

Just some of the fixes needed:
- Memory leaks / client freezes
- PvP XP + ranks
- PvP items
- Fixed sieging ( well its working now but there are few very annoying bugs like : your own guards will attack you during siege )
- Gem and crafting tweaking
- Fixing raid bosses ( tier 1 is ok , tier 2 and on is ok at beginning but then ... )
- Itemization
 

Then few things they should do before expansion
- More PvP content as I dont see just XP and sieging will entertain players for long time
- More client optimization as for some is running like crap even on good gaming machines
( the whole engine is a bit wierd tbh )
and few other things

For some strange reason they are investing way to much time for low-mid level content instead of taking care of end game one.

It seems they wanna "polish" it and make whole game like initial tortage was ( great pve content ) by adding bunch of quests and some new zones/dungeons, tweaking existing ones and making them more fun and adding voice overs ... its all OK but whats not OK is by the time they are jerking around with that there are whole bunch of high level ( max level ) players scratching their asses and wonder what to do ( beside quit )

Well only time will tell despite all hate khm expert exchange professionals and MMO developers here I think eventually they will make Age of Conan great, however that does not mean players should stay and support it while they develop ( <- what should be done before release ) so as soon as you get bored make sure you put it on hold.

So far I still have lots of fun with the game but thats mainly because of the guild community and events we have .. if i was solo player mostlikely I would left Age of Conan like 1 or 2 weeks after I would hit level 80 ( iam level 80 now for more then 2 months )

I hope all those disappointed players will find some fun in upcoming MMO's like WAR and/or Aion etc..

A lot of current haters really like the Age of Conan for what it should be and Iam speaking about the ones who like combo system and that instances are not something game breaking .. all those were just so disappointed by release  ( as they should be couse funcom did screw up ) that they need to vent here.

p.s. Usually the loudest haters are the ones who really loved the game at begining .. not counting some of those that are trolling just to defend some of their prefered game and those that just like to troll and did not even play the game ( you can see them posting/trolling in some other forums too )

I was one of those people that was really hyped abotu it. I bought into the hype. Pre ordered the collectors edition played in open beta (got an ign account just for that) I got in on early access I even bought an aoc mousepad.

Well it taught me a great lesson, NEVER believe the hype, Thats why I refuse now to jump on the OMG WAR WILL BE THE BESTEST MMO EVAR bandwagon.

Its always good idea to wait.

Judging from Funcoms track record and the great state of War's beta (preview weekend is awesome) and WoTLK on the  way they had better do alot of praying at Failcom thats about the only thing that can help them.
