     First of all,i am not a fanboy but I enjoy AoC and was skeptic about playing it,but it turned out great.First of all please note,that there are 2-3 people hired by a company or just demented over-religious WoW fanboys that are making multiple accounts and posting rubish and lies with no backing.

    Soo here it goes:

    1.EA rant - it was stated time and time again that EA will be limited,alot of people either didnt read or waited until the last second to register before servers went up,well after you couldnt get it you started screaming,ranting etc. Well if you wanted to get into EA that bad ,it was in your best intrest to register the code sooner and not at the last freaking second.

    2.OMG,AoC has hi-system specs - yeah it does,it isnt very friendly to whiney kids whos parents dont want to buy them a new comp,most of the client was very optimized at launch (note: most)

    3.OMG,the whole game is instanced - only the first 5 levels you are put in a small linear instance,the rest are bigger zones,but I guess most bashers cant know this since they didnt even play passed lvl 5,exemples of large areas in tortage: "white sand isle"

    4.Funcom scammed me - pray tell,how did they scam you ? it was your own fault for not reading,if you are incapable of reading then it is no one's fault except your own.

    5.I noticed that alot of threads on the WoW forums were posted about how much AoC sucks and that everyone hated it ,note that this was on the day the EA servers were to be launched,but they didnt do enough research and posted sooner then even the servers where launched.Proves how desperate some kids are to keep mature people in their game to hold their hand.

     Soo,sort story,dont belive threads that bash AoC made by people with less than 25 posts or that post on alts on their MMORPG forums.

     

     

    In regards to your comment on EA. A lotta people are mistaken and it pisses me off that theyre calling us lazy or too slow to activate. This is simply not true.

    I pre-ordered my game from Amazon (big mistake) 2 months ago. And despite my numerous emails and complaints, I did NOT receive my EA CD key code until the 17th. I therefore had ZERO chance to get into the EA. This clearly wasnt my fault and I have every right to be upset over this.

     Ok I have to agree on this one,alot of retailers didnt distribute their mount codes on time,but this wasnt Funcom's fault.If I hadnt called the guys I pre-ordered from and asked them to send my mount code I might not have early acces.

    actualy youre wrong again, before they whiped the thread on the official forums it was also pointed out that funcom failed to send some retailers the pre order cards on time and told them to sell pre orders anyway. the funny thing is, funcom then sent them the cards even though they didnt have the room in the ea.

  • 1) yes it was stated over and over again ON THEIR FORUMS, it was not stated on their advertisements or the pre order crads.

    The cards said you cant even download the client till the 14th (which wasnt true)

    It didnt say you had to sign up BEFORE the 14th.

    Some people have jobs and arent rabid fanboys that follow the forums of a game that isnt even out yet, they pre ordered AOC for the early access, and made time to play it this weekend, all the literature on the adertisements and the pre order cards said, if you pre order you get into the ea, they didnt say "limited number" or you have to register before the 14th.

    4) they used ea to sell pre orders, and now they claim that the ea was never part of the pre order, even though the pre order clearly states that it provides you with 2 things, an ingame item and early access.

     So tell me how getting people to pre order your product with the promise of early access, then not only not giving you that early access but also claiming they never promised early access not a scam?

• • Black Screen Problem - No Solutions

  • Black screen problems are usualy caused by your refresh rate. you have to force your refreshrate.

    Find the refresh of your monitor (on most newer monitors its 60 but check yours anyway)

    not sure if its the same for vista because i dont use vista, but for xp right click your desktop

    1)click properties

    2) click the settings tab

    3) click advanced, it should say ##Hertz, ## is your refresh.

    Now go to run in your start menu and click it and type in dxdiag

    1)in dxdiag click the tab furthest to the right called more help

    2)at the bottom of that page will be a button that says over ride, click it then check the override button and type in your refresh rate.

• • You think not getting into Early Access sucks?

  • if you are haveing authentication/log in problems

    It is not your PC, several people have gotten into the EA and  have had their credit cards charged the 5 dollars and still cant login, it is a screw up with the key you used.

    Another problem people had was they were able to log in and play but couldnt claim their in game items, so gms told them to log out and enter their retail box code if they had them and when they did it canceled their ea access.

• • Any answers yet..Authentication?

  • They sold pre orders with the promise of early access then claimed they "sold out" so if you didnt register your early access by the 14th you cant play.

     Even though the pre order cards and boxes say you cant even register or download the early access untill the 14th.
