This is a tragic loss to Funcom and I hope these thieves are caught. The devs at AOC put alot of hard work into this game and someone just feels they can steal it. Maybe Blizzard stole them they steal everything else. |

I expect the thieves to sue Funcom for the loss of income................... Waiting for: Archeage - Guild Wars 2 - Everquest Next - The Elder Scroll Online |

I do hope they get caught, but I can't help but giggle at karma in a way that I should not be happy to admit* |

No, Funcoms customers left AoC and went back to WOW willingly. After playing AoC they woke up and saw that what a truly polished product WOW really is at this point. There is no arguing that point.

Current MMO dev teams = Keystone cops.A pure comedy of errors,sadly its not as intentional. |

Is skeet popular in England ? If so, the thieves could probably make some money by loading the boxes into launchers, and charging people for each shot .

I'm the one who stole them. Good luck tracking me down coppers. Oh, anybody wants some cheap copies beforee I ebay them. This isn't a signature, you just think it is. |

Imagine how much the thieves are going to lose in online auction posting fees. I think the street value of all those games comes in at around -372.50 USD. Trammies need to stop polluting the MMORPG landscape. They already have enough games in which to emote hugs and sell garbage by the banks. |

I can see it right now, once they realize what they actually stole "W T F AARrgghhh" I think they could propably make more money stealing any other game, any at all, Sam and Max adventures would be easier to sell lol

Never let anyone tell you that karma doesnt have a sense of humor. |

ha some store figured a way to make money off old AoC boxes. Hire someone to steal them and then make an insurance claim for the loss. Slick, very slick.

MMOs require more reasoning and imagination than most stereotypically ''adult'' activities. |

Too bad they didn't catch it on video. So I'll go with the inside job for an insurance claim.

Stolen games don't only appear in flea markets/car boot sales, they also appear in reputable high street videogame stores that sell second hand games.
