Age of Conan

I got in.  Too bad you guys did not.  AoC rocks.  I will feel sorry for you but I will still have fun.  I will tip my 40 to you while I am playing.

This is the MMO I have been waiting on since my first steps in EQ1.

You can say QQ all you want, but the bottom line of the matter is that this situation is simply bad business.  MMO audiences are notorious for not forgiving big screwups, and make no mistake; this is a HUGE screwup.  Think about the people who wanted to play with their guild, and now will be three days behind.  How many of them say "screw it" and simply wait till Warhammer?  You can talk all you want about it only being three days, but if you have half a brain about MMOs you know that someone starting three days behind their friends will likely never catch up.  Like it or not, MMOs are a race to max level, and for many people the most fun in an MMO is when the game is completely new and the entire server is leveling up together.  To think that people won't buy the game because of "only three days" is not a stretch of the imagination by any means.  Amazing that in such a competitve market a company is willing to straight up shoot themselves in the foot.  Complete and utter foolishness if you ask me.

Sorry, but this was just plain rediculous.  Three days and you cant catch up?  Also, the pre-order cards/emails all said "Early Access Program," not "Early Access."  This whining is one reason why i really don't like coming to these boards, too much complaining about the stupidest things, all of which have NO significance to anything in real life.

I preordered aoc a long time ago. I was bored of wow and wanted something new, went back to lotro but the pvp is ruined now imo. i'm a really big pvper and that's the only thing I liked about wow. I can understand how people are upset they wont get in early, but if you really like this game and want to play something new just wait a few more days. You never know there could be down time and you can read what the early starters are saying about how the game plays. I thought they made a big jump with that performance patch and can't wait to get in. I also think there will be a lot of people upset yet once the game is live and everyone can join some will and they will soon forget the fact other people were in a few days a head. Again I can understand why people are upset but it's not the end of the world, you will get in soon and if you are canceling or refuse to play the game now then this game isn't for you and you really don't enjoy it that much. They had limited keys to hand out, if you were pumped on this game maybe you should have preordered sooner :/. Yes some people wanted to see how the game played in beta etc, but you could have preordered a while ago and still canceled before the early access.

Well I got into the early access lol, unfortunatley it says my d/l will be done in a week lmao!

Laz, set the upload to 25, should speed it up dramatically.

Ok giving that a try, so far doesnt seem to be affecting it. Thanks for the advice :)

Im really glad this happened, it will help filter out some of these children and immature adults that shouldn't be part of the AoC community to begin with. Any adult, with any common sense, new EXACTLY what they were paying for and getting for the pre-order.

When I bought my pre-order at Gamestop the salesman said I get to start playing early and a free mount. After he handed me the card I told him to stop telling customers they get early access, showed him the card, because NOWHERE does it guarentee you access.

GROW UP, stop blaming others like little babies. PLEASE cancel your pre-orders because your the exact kind of people that ruin good communities. /rant off

sorry but the amount of people that are not willing to accept the fact, THEY made a mistake is sickening!
