"We''re not making a game for Trekkies" Daron Stinnett, Perpetual Entertainment

We are not talking three months post launch, six months, or even a year.  We want to know which game has launch the past FOUR years that had a Miracle Patch at launch.   The patch that takes the game from beta to LAUNCH DAY where you said WOW, they did a great job fixing everything that was wrong at the end of beta to make LAUNCH DAY a success.

We look forward to seeing your votes!

If I missed one, reply with the name of the one I missed.

Bottom line, is there such a thing as the launch day "Miracle Patch" or is "It's Beta" just a no other excuse for the game is sucking battle cry of the ever present fanbois?

 *EDIT*  Use the bottom World of Warcraft listing to vote for Tabula Rasa.  Can't edit the poll.  Thank you all.

You should take out LOTRO from your list and replace it by Tabula Rasa. LOTRO was pretty bugfree during end of beta and was more than ready to be launched before it was even lauched, I do not understand at all why you even thought about putting it on the list. In the other hand, TB was the one in deep need of a miracle patch, I did not stay to see if it got it or not.

Most games that are from late beta to launch day seemed to be the same. I can't really think of any game from the past 4 years that I've been in beta and then launch day I was like "WoW" they fixed all the beta issues.

Early beta to late beta there are huge changes but late beta to launch, I didn't recall any HUGE changes.

I think the closes was WoW with the hunters. Hunter class was added during mid beta and they were more polished at launch.

Its an unusual question. but I wager the reason it was brought up is because AoC is in exactly this predicament

Word is that Funcom may be using an older version of the beta client for the open beta, as well as a series of debugger tools that run during play to feed them necessary statistics, which could account for the bugs and lag. Now, what the reasoning is for using an outdated and buggier client, I don't know. Doesn't seem like a good idea to expose 50,000 people to a buggier version of the game when they (should) know that 49,500 of those people only view betas as a chance to try the game for free before it comes out.

Anyway, there's a glimmer of hope anyway. Guess we'll see what happens later this month.

So, there may be a magic patch when they put in the newer beta client.

  No need to stake a wager at all.

 It's always the next MMO to launch's fault for all life's problems and then, while we wait for the one after that, we can rehash all the wrong's the industry ever did to us, over and over again.  Yay, for us!

This is such a weak no use poll.

Just trolling without even having the guts to be honest about it.
