Seriously now, come on.  I mean I play the game and it frustrates me to no end.  I have cancelled as well but the claims you make are a little outlandish.  The company has serious problems no doubt.  It's a shame really because the game could have been so good.

while he may be exageratting in some regards, he is not in the fact that FunCom's player mods are more suited to a good ol fashioned book buring than they are to balancing the forums they were given power over.

server merges WILL take place.... of that I have no doubt.

but AoC will limp on... much like Vanguard has done.

I predict Xfire numbers alittle above what Vanguard is right now, and I predict this will happen in the next 2 months.

Funcom has crippled themselves.... dont expect another game from them for some time... and they MAY (as a last ditch effort) try to release an AoC expansion at the beginning of next year. (this will likely cause more people to cancel though)

May, June there was pretty much free for all on those forums which i thought was pretty cool. Sure you got the haters going off the handle, but it is freedom of speech. I personally thought wow, the forums are following the MA content as well with regards to language etc.

lol... yeah, you could tell someone (like I did) that they were tools, or that they were morons, or that they were evidence why some animals ate their young.... say stuff like that and NO PROBLEM

But if you say AoC is still in a beta stage (BOOM) infraction for trolling!

LAWL

Sorry for the oneliner, but this is to good to pass.

Lack of funding was the problem, I already knew that Funcom was broke when they came into the production of the game.  What do you do if you don't have enough money to produce a game.  Funcom did nothing, and Mythic Entertainment turned to EA.  EA Mythic, unlimited funding for Warhammer Online

lack of funding was NOT the problem....

JUST LIKE VANGUARD, they had a huge budget. But they had a horrible foundation for the game. They hid the fact that is is like 90% instanced. One starting area, one lvl 80 area....

The problem wasnt JUST this, it also didnt help that the devs spent 6 MONTHS out of their 4 year development solely on the capital cities. Not for sieging. Not for PvP, hell, not even for PvE... just for looks.

The problem was BAD (and I mean BAD) management. Just like Sigil, FunCom tackled more than they could deal with, and noone kept them on track....

Last night, numerous raids in Yakhmars Cave were banned for 7 days, without warning.

This escalated to the forums where DOZENS of posts were made. One person was told by a GM that "their account was in danger of getting banned as well if they submitted another petition asking why their guildmates were banned.

From what I was able to piece together, Yakhmar is COMPLETELY bugged to hell, and is comepletely impossible in its current mode.

A couple people posted that they were dead (killed by Yakhmar) when they were banned.

Is AoC THIS RETARDED???

A guldie of mine was banned for 24 hours because they were on a ROCK in the Wildlands (hardly an exploit)

AoC isnt a sinking ship..... AoC has detonated its own torpedos inside the torpedo bays.....

Famine invistegated (or so he says) and a couple hours later, many were unbanned, but most were not.

Everybody stand back!!!! she's gonna blow!

 

It is important to quote your sources with links. This just comes off as a rant and we have no way of knowing the real story as this is only heresay at this point.

Thanks

I give it 3 more weeks, then EVE will have more hours played per day than AoC does.

but then, given AoC's inept player mods, maybe it will only take one week

So a user makes a post saying he was thankful that the mods (player volunteer) had the ears of the devs, and was grateful that the mods shared the players concerns with the devs. Then he asked the rest of the player base to be nice to the player mods.

I responded by saying that in no way, do volunteer moderators talk to the devs. I said they had "zero, zip, o, zilch, nada" when it comes to talking with the devs.

I said this so that players knew where the limitations of the mods are, and so that they arent looked at as speaking to the playerbase as a liason to the devs.

For this clarification, HackThorr issued me a six MONTH forum ban.

Was I a troll? most likely. I do not deny I was a "hater" on the AoC forums, but you know what? I never went overboard. I was never blatantly vulgar. Nor did I BASH FunCom (much...lol)

but seriously, a SIX MONTH FORUM BAN>>????

 Lufkin, and Hackthorr both have been abusing their powers for some time. Do I plan to stay in AoC? No. Do I plan on going back? Absolutely not!

But these player mods are OUT OF CONTROL. I have sent repeated emails to Famine in regards to Lufkin, with proof where he is out of line, But nothing happens,

So Piss off AoC player mods, take your censorship and choke on it. Maybe you will be happy when the only ones left playing is the dev staff, and the FoA volunteers....

The paramilitary mods on the U.S. forums are getting out of hand as well. It's interesting but I saw a bunch of threads locked here yesterday. Perhaps they're like the Borg?

I know.... I have gone rounds with Lufkin, and he is a moron. He acts like a DEV and some players think he is... He stalks me in every thread, and has even closed a decent thread saying that I was the one who derailed it...lol

AoC players mods are a joke
