Age of Conan

Well?

Just to make it clear.  The reason why I posted this poll today instead of a week or two down the road, I wanted to give everyone a chance to vote regardless if they played beta on day 1 or the last day of beta.  Some people won't be able to play one or two days of beta.  Everyone's vote counts regardless.

UPDATE:  Official poll along the same lines on May 6 from Funcom

Ok

  Looks like a survey went up about several of the issues...maybe you can help out here

Open Beta Survey

Password is openbeta

Please be sure to vote there as well!  Thank you! 

I'm the first to admit the game still has flaws. But I love it nonetheless. I'm confident it'll be the place where me and my better half can settle for a long while.

Until that is proven otherwise, I'll remain by that stance. We'll see that come release and the first weeks after.

Wow it's the first night and people are already judging it?  50,000 people on 3 servers.. yeah that shouldn't cause any stress, lag, or malfunctions.

beta doesnt tell you enough to make a decision about *loving* the game

I'm not cancelling my preorder

I dont think AOC sucks but I'm not inspired by it either

- but hey, its something new

Not after half a day, with everyone trying to get on at the same time.

My pre-order retail version WILL NOT contain the debugger thats running on the beta client eating up resources.

I hate to disagree.  Open betas are there to sell the game.  Sure, it is to stress test, but open betas in any game are to give the player base a look at the game to let them see if they want to buy or not.  If you think otherwise, you are sadly mistaken.  I've been around the MMOG community for 15 years and know what open betas are used for it.  It is called marketing.  If it wasn't, they would not have lifted the NDA for the open beta.

How could anyone tell from the first 13 lvls which is little more than an intro. If people are ready to give up on the game after seeing just the first 13 lvls I'd be pretty surprised. All they are testing here is server stress they really aren't showing you much.

Good to hear considering my buddy key rides on your pre-order!  LOL
