Perhaps the post thread should be re-titled to name three things that bash AOC. Or Three reasons why AoC failed for "me".
Seriously.
Auto Assault failed.
Earth And Beyond Failed
Asherons Call 2 Failed.
AoC still has a decent sized community, is still selling boxes so that really doesn't count as failing. But in this day of 10 millions subs or fail, I guess that should be overlooked.
I have moved on from AoC myself, enjoyed what it had to offered, but I enjoy WAR more, it just boggles my mind that so many can't move on.

Honestly security had to escort one ...psycho for lack of a better term from the last Gen-Con because he felt like it was his moral duty to shout threats at one of the AoC devs. The conduct on these forums hasn't been much better, 
 

That's really odd my wifes PC is a AMD3200 with 2 gigs of Ram , and a Geforce 7800 GT she runs the game on balanced and has yet to crash once.

You really should have made sure all your drivers were up to date, but sounds like you really didn't dig the game that much anyway,

All I can say is Arena is cracking down hard on names and language..if you do it again you will be perma banned.

I still enjoy EQ II, I can understand why some choose to move on, but I don’t understand the personal Vendetta, nor do I understand the Mods allowing this when we all know that if it was someone bashing oh say WoW or EvE they would be looking at the Business end of the ban hammer.

No one really gives a damn about hype.  What will make WAR a phenomenally sucsessful MMO is it is quite simply  incredibly fun to play. WAR will have challenges, it will face the same Hate that rabid WoW fans lay on any MMO that dares shows promise, but unlike other MMO's it dosn't have the game play and devloper issues that recent releases had.  

Personally I could give two craps about if WAR will be a WoW killer...Blizzard is doing a fine Job of Killing WoW all by their lonesomes

Lol CB for CE will last like 3-4 day and they will release OB so chill out ur not gonna miss much .

Ordered my CE from Go Gamer got my beta invite as promised,  Got several nice perks that wasn't even listed. I see no issues.

Well lets see. in the past two months I have seen on Argent Dawn the streets of Stromwind go from Bustling to where the hell is everybody on Saturday night, several larger guilds are no longer larger guilds and several more are no longer around. There is a reason for this and that reason quite simply is WAR.

I'm currently in beta and will have a nice long write up on what I have been noticing through out my time testing when the NDA is lifted (A week before launch, hopefully).

And you gotta go with your gut when pre ordering the game, In that aspect treat it like every other game you have tried, without buying into any hype of forums and you should be fine.

All I have to say to anyone is a half hour playing and you will drop whatever MMo you're playing for War.

  except the "good guys" slaughter and burn entire villages if they think there's a heretic. And the "good guys" are pissed off, drunken short angry men, 

Actually you just described the  Warhammer  athoritative base...if you're not down with that don't play Empire.

It's a shame what they did to WoW....thankfully Mythic has built a game that  is going to ravage WoW and leave it's dead corpse in a alley.

War is coming and Blizzard Trembles at it's aproach.

I see Blizzard is in trouble with WoW..no one really cares about WotLK, the game has gone beyond absurd with the Motorcycle mount, and Positive Buzz about WAR from Beta testers grows almost hourly.

Don't worry Blizzard you still have D3 and SC2 (Not to mention the eventual Diablo MMO) to fall back on.

Unlike AoC, WOW is not trying anything new just endless grind

Unlike AoC, I can  Troll the official forums and act  like a complete and total Asshat.

Fixed ^

jestor doesn't slam anyone other then fanbois and fanbots who should be slammed

and i will be on kotor online and if any fanboi trys to ruin that game they will have to deal with the swg vets who will not see our new game ruined like they did to pre-cu.

I can tell you for a fact that disgruntled Star Wars galaxy vets will find themselfs on a wrong side of a perma ban if they dare bring thier bitter tears to the new SW MMO.  This will not be your Sandbox pre CU wet dream. Think more Force Unleased and Mass Effect.

Lucasarts or Bioware dosen't really care for you to begin with, spout off just once when their forums go live and see if I'm not right.

Smed is a lot like Jeff Kaplan in that regard. Kaplan has a "special"   relationship with Rob Pardo and unles he runs naked through Blizzard Corperate with an Uzi he isn't going anywhere. 

 Smed  has the ability to keep the powers that be that he is the right choice for the company,  Anyone who was at Comic-Con knows that DCUO is going to be a License to print money for SOE (The crptic guys were Visibly and I mean Visably shaken.)  Smed will take full credit even though he had zero to do with it, and will be around for another Five years.

Uber Raiders and EQ Devs backing down every time they whine is the reason the vast majority of  folks left  EQ like Rats from a sinking ship.  They thought they would basically get the same treatment in WoW until one of their own (Tigole) basically gave them the finger.

SOE is having issues keeping talent on the DC project, let alone in the company.  Combine that with their past track record and my expectations are really low for DC online.  Most likely it will be further ruined by micro transactions, in game advertising everywhere, addition subscription fees for some wacked out premium content model and half a dozen other lame money grabs.

 

 

I don't know where you get your delusions laser brains.....

The only folks that have left the DC online project is two dead weight EX SWG developers...they were shown the door.  Currently the project has some top talent that isn't going anywhere until the project ships at least.

Aside from Jim Lee , they have Dave Parker Ex CoH developer and designer of some of the best missions in that game, as well as Jeff Smith Ex Bioware Wiz Kid, and Jon Sato of Squaresoft.  The project is well funded and well monitored by DC..it the sort of situation that Cryptic would have killed for, but the hitched their wagon to fickle Microsoft that kills every MMO that can not Guarantee WoW like subscribers and a development cycle of 24 months
