See, what a lot of people are failing to realize is the fact that it is, indeed, a business. While right now World of Warcraft holds the vast majority of subscriptions to online games, why not tie up the loose ends?

This is what Blizzard is doing, they already own the casual crowd, and with all of the sand-box MMOers who want something more complicated, more in-depth, more time consuming, who make up the OTHER majority of gamers, Blizzard wants to deliver this product to you.

This could be for a variety of reasons, including dominating the entire genere spread of MMOs. They could be afraid that SW:TOR will steal away all of their casual gamers, so they are going to need something for retribution. But who knows.

My assessment is that Blizzard will be producing a very in depth, sand-box mmo, and have a monopoly on the MMO gaming industry, and continue to make ludacris amounts of money off of it.

To be perfectly honest, AION is essentially World of Warcraft, they didn't really come out with anything so new and revolutionary that it will pull people who have a lot of time and energy vested in WoW away from WoW. Some people will leave for a change of pace, but they will most definatley come back - and then there are the variables, people whos friends go back, they'll go back to follow them, or they will make new friends who love AION. But in reality, I see people sticking with WoW untill something radically new comes out, like TOR or Blizzards "Next-gen MMO."  Either that, or the graphics will become so outdated without any updates from Blizzad it will be unbearable to play.

I just got through watching the demo-footage, and I had a lot of the same initial reactions.

The graphics at a glance, look sub par, but for some reason the further they went along in the demo-footage, the better they seemed to get, which was definately a benifit. So, I will attribute that to just the lack of some of the game being polished.

Now seeing some of the combat, it definately looks like it will be enjoyable, making you feel like a badass and all, but what I did not see was like the OP said, any social interaction, all I saw was instaces and your companion running around. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that from what we've seen you can solo most of the game, that really caters to those of us gamers who don't have as much time as we used to, but still, the social interaction needs a boost, from what I can precieve it will be towards the endgame where there are encounters that you and your compainon can't handle.

Overall I'm still looking foward to the game.

The only thing you've really convinced me of is your absolute "epic fail" ignorance. This game is being kept so tight underwraps and details are being released so slowly how on earth could you even begin to think that you know what your talking about?

Sit back, take a deep breath, and wait for bioware to publish more about the game. Cause last time I checked they never stated that there would be no crafting, space flight, etc. in the game. I can pretty much counter everything that your saying with a "details on that subject haven't been released."

I agree with one of the posters on the first page, you give all Pre-CU SWG vets a bad name.

To each his own I guess.

 I mean honestly, not every game is like WoW, just because it's a fucking RPG, and it has quests, swords, magic, a hotbar, and instances, DOES NOT mean its a WoW Clone!!!

Seems like WoW did what you just did, "Oh wow John, that is a good idea, lets I'm gonna use it and try to make it a little better!" Only difference is, WoW succeeded, and you didn't.

Nope just appologizing  here, no flaming, no discussion. Just appologizing. Cookies anyone?

I didn't lock anything. I'm not a mod.. haha, I got a warning too. Guess it comes with the territory. However, if anybody would like to send me personal attacks via PM i'll be more than happy to respond.

And I wasn't trying to flame you, More of a blast effect trying to get at everybody who was flaming me. Looks like I need to grow up a bit.

Well - I would like to say sorry to anybody I offended with my posts in responce to the flames. I gues I got it wrong when I saw people flaming me for not being more harsh, then I become harsh, and people flame me more.

Now I realize why most people in a PR position don't let the flaems get to them, because its just a black hole with no return.

Meh, who knew.

Look foward to getting some good feedback from the community

No I'm saying that everybody expects a magical perfect launch with zero bugs - they expect perfect patches that only add content and no nerfs, just positive. The expect a eutopia of perfectness within every pixel.

They don't realize that people go to school for years to become programers, then work on several titles before they get on a big one, and you think its so easy, they can just say poof and deliver you a perfect game.

Instead of learning patience and realize that good things take time, we have ex-fanbois like you who hype the hell out of a game, and when its not perfect, or close to, you bash it relentlesly because you have nothing better to do with your life.

Bash it or claim its's good, we both seem to be in the same boat, eh?

So by your reasoning the engineers who built my car may have got it all right but if the brakes fail because of design I should just be patient because they will get around to fixing them sooner or later, right?

You speak like the people on these forums, or just me, are morons and we don't think about things, just mash buttons and post things. Are you the all knowing one spoke of in the prophecies that was said would come and cure all the aoc haters of there rage and hate towards a pay to play beta?

Please, I look forward to your posts. And by the way, are you named Luskey on the aoc forums?

 

Well lets look at this from your point of view.

You pay an engineer a 6 digit salary to do his job.

Game programers get maybe 50 - 80?

Cars have been being made for, oh I don't know, 100 years or so?

MMOs are maybe what... 10? 15 years old?

You pay 30,000 dollars for a car.

You pay 49.99 for a game.

You get what you pay for much?

That is the dumbest analogy i ve seen. AOC is an MMO that has been built on bullshit and lies. Name one car that has as much missing as advertised as this crapfest of a game.  Then lie about it even more. I feel sorry for anyone supporting this game, that is so blinded by their fanboism or well stupidity.
 

I guess you didn't read the part where I was trying to defeate the posters analogy of comparing a car to an MMO. You can't compare them. Oh, and I can name one car make that was like that Yugo's

Wow - a lot of you failed reading in High School.

I am not getting paid in any way shape or form by Funcom or MMORPG.

I'M ACTIVE DUTY IN THE UNITED STATES MARINES if they offered me a job; I wouldn’t be able to take it anyways.

I did not ASK Famine to come on here and promote me. HE DID IT HIMSELF.

I am not an employee of Funcom or MMORPG.

I'm a fucking volunteer - stop bashing me over what Funcom did to you. They didn't pay me, or MMORPG oodles of money to come on here and do damage control. I VOLUNTEERED to come on here and try to make some sort of unbiased reviews of what is going on and what is coming for players.

I'm met with tons of hate and discontent just because I bought a game, I liked it, and I saw where it needed improvements so I volunteered to help it improve. I'm trying to do more than half of you 32 year old living at home with their parents would ever do. If you have enough energy to sit here and bash me post after post then do something about it, go get a degree in software engineering and YOU fix the game.

If you guys REALLY want to know why the game got released about 6 months early, all you have to do is look at the community who HYPED the hell out of this title, and pressured the investors to pressure the developer to release it early. Its kind of hard not to push it out when you have the people supplying you the money, AND The people who want to give you more money on your back telling you we want our profits NOW.

Do I have to sit here and bash Funcom for their business practices? When it all comes down to the greed of gamers like you who were the ones who pushed and pushed to have this game released sooner?

I KNOW from first hand experience BAD customer support in the game, from the GMs to the forum moderators. I've had them completely single my guild out on Bloodspire. Was it wrong, yes. Did it get resolved, no. Have I gone through every possible avenue to fix it, yes. So do you know what I did? I grabbed a straw and sucked it the fuck up.

I know there are a TON of bugs in the game, more than any game I've ever played at release, but guess what, they are being worked on at probably as fast of a pace as Funcom can hammer them out. I'm used to working 12 on 12 off  and I'm sure the programmers wouldn’t enjoy that very much just to appease to a whiney player base.

I did this because I know that *I* enjoy playing the game - and I know that it can only get better and move forward from here.

So save your little two line high school flames for someone who deserves them.

I AM NOT AN OFFICIAL REPRESENTITIVE OF FUNCOM OR MMORPG.COM MY VIEWS AND OPPINIONS ARE MY OWN AND THEY ARE NOT THAT OF FUNCOM OR MMORPG.COM

 

 

 

Wow, this guy posts this, flames all the posters on this thread for not learning to read in high school, and I get a warning for calling him a fan#$%( can't post it, i really don't want to get baned for this).

Wow, just wow. He insulted me and I call him something I can find on 100's of threads here and I get a mod edit and warning?

WOW

My post was defending myself against the personal attacks that people like you, and some other posters, have been throwing my direction. A battle that you started. So why should I be punished for defending myself?

then by your logic it should be simpler, since it takes less time and money to develope a mmorpg

 

or if you divide 50/30000 (cost of each) = 1/600 ratio

salary 80000/100000 = 4/5

hence logic proclaims....in the rule of ratios, that the are making more money than an engineer in respect to its product sale price...so they should be making a better product?

 

(sorry i dont see where you are going with this)

Well your comparing apples and oranges. You hire a group of engineers to make you a 30,000 dollar game, if it doesn't work the way you want it to, i'm sure they'll fix it, or givey ou your money back.

I thought I left this drama when I left high school.

"half of you 32 year old living at home with their parents"

I don't see why anyone would bash you. You're off to a fantastic start!!

They started flaming me before I made any negative posts.

So whats your point?

actually i thought most of the posters are writing pretty well written posts................

And they are - its the one or two that are personal attacks on me, even though I've done nothing to anybody and they just use me to take out their anger on because I'm a volunteer for the game that they loathe.

Just because you aren't getting paid doesn't mean that you won't write or censor favorably for Funcom, AoC, MMORPG, or anyone else who you MIGHT end up working for.  If you are blatantly harsh and realistic will you be allowed to continue as a correspondent?  Likely not.

Just read some of the garbage, and I mean GARBAGE writeups the bloggers from this very site write in favor of games and companies that are dreadful.

Your first post regarding AoC was a clear indication that you are closer to fanboism than realism.

 

Well, to be fair to our friend Dom.  If you absolutely hated AoC would go out of your way to be a liason for MMORPG and Funcom?  For Free?  Of course he is a fan of the game. 

Dom are you still subscribed to AoC?  and if so, how long have you been playing?

This thread has been pretty mild so far, compared to the massive nerd rage in most of the other AoC threads.

I've been playing AoC since beta, yes I'm still subscribed, still paying my 15 bucks a month.  So... I've spent 145 dollars on the game.
