This might be one of the reasons behind all the turbulance. A thread from the Age of Conan website. Some cheap shots from a Age of Conan developer.

In this thread you can read about statements like this from Developer Athelan.

[QUOTE] Athelan- developer of Age of Conan:

Pre-Order now for the low low price of only 6 payments of 99.99 and we will throw in this brand new kitchen sink for free, AND WAIT THATS NOT ALL get this complete box set of ABBA's greatest hits!... AND WE MUST BEEEE CRAAAAZZZZYY BECAUSE NOT ONLY ARE WE GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT BUT I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU THE COMBO JUICER SUPER SQUIEGEE HIGH POWER WASHING FULLY CARBIDE KITCHEN KUNG FU IRON CHEF KNIFE SET! BUY NOW!

Thats what that video makes me think of.

I mean if the game comes out with 1/10th of what is claimed there. If it only delivered on skill based, open pvp that was fun. I would check it out at least. But anytime I see claims like that I just can't take it serious. But thats a fan movie so hopefully they are not promising all that. [/QUOTE]

Another one from same developer and same thread-

[QUOTE] Athelan- developer of Age of Conan:

Dont they have like infinite time and money now thanks to some rich sheik's son from the middle east?[/QUOTE]

And the last one i found in same thread-

[QUOTE] Athelan- developer of Age of Conan:

Well there is a big difference between making some promises and not being able to deliver everything, and literally promising everything :P

It's like saying I promise to buy you a new car by the end of the year. At the end of the year I didn't buy you a brand new BMW I ended up buying a Honda.

But if I promised to buy you a Ferrari, and said no not just a Ferrari but a Ferrari Enzo, with custom solid gold rims, and full leather interior custom made out of lambskin. Then delivered you a used 1983 Mazda, or a toy car looking like a Ferrari ;p. [/QUOTE]

This kind of behaviour is really tasteless and is hitting below the belt. No wonder Tasos gave some pounches to Funcom after reading this.

And Tasos own responce to this turbulance can be read in thread link below on the Darkfall board and its way more mature then the represant from Funcom outburst on Darkfall developers and their game.

[QUOTE] Tasos Flambouras- Darkfall Developer :

You'll never catch Darkfall developers taking cheap shots against other MMOs. Aside from adhering to professional courtesy standards, we're not that concerned about them to bother. You shouldn't be either.

I'll lock this thread now if that's alright.[/QUOTE]

Heh ... an AoC developer - a game that is now officially just glorified adware - takes makes cheap shots at a proper game.

 

A proper game actually makes its way into stores. Enough said there.

Call me when AoC actually makes it into stores. With the release date getting pushed back all the time I'm starting to think it's just vapourware.

 

Unbelievable...

This is the state of Darkfall fans. Is there something wrong with you? Or do you just enjoy acting like a moron? I realize that the Internet allows idiots to hide behind their real identity, but come on. Give me a break.

Can't you simply make a "valid" argument for your cherished game?

Thinking AOC will be an excellent title is NOT the point. The point is simply this. AOC is an "actual" game, like or not. It has been played by thousands of people, like it or not. It has been previewed by dozens of professional gaming magazines and Internet sites, like it or not. It is ACTUALLY releasing on May 20, 2008. People have pre-ordered this title, like it or not.

In simple words for obvious simple minds... AOC actually exists !!!

No one has ever actually played Darkfall nor seen it. Please don't give me the Asp story, it's neither credible or believable. In fact... There is NO proof whatsoever that an actual working alpha build of Darkfall has ever been made.

But you and the others can continue in your little dream worlds, till Hell freezes over if you like. We can rehash this post next year at this time.

I can't wait to hear the new excuses.

 

I agree with everything you said except one point.  Asp has flown to Greece and has played the game.  (so the story goes since he has pictures of office that looks like very temporary office space... i.e. nothing at all on the walls except a single Darkfall Online poster and a coat rack.)

 

How does having some pictures of a ratty office space with a poster for the game turn into him being in greece and playing it? You sure he wasn't in Macon Georgia hanging out with his buddies who printed out a poster for darkfall?

Am I the only one that really doesn't care which game is the best?

When Darkfall comes out, I'll buy it and play, the same thing with AoC, WAR, TCoS, etc...

I like MMOs and if a game is satisfying and fun, I'll buy it.

What the developer for AoC said about Darkfall, is it a lie?

How come you haven't posted a new post regarding the fact that your Golden boy Tasos fired back with equally unprofessional behavior? Why is it ok for Adventurine and not for Funcom? Why the bias?

I will buy and try most every MMO that comes out. I am a fan of the genre, and as such I like to be up to date on the best games for me.

You are the winner!
