    I think it's a fair question to ask.

    Admittedly, I don't play Age of Conan any more. I stopped a while ago and didn't really think much of it, my friends stopped playing so I stopped playing. Same feeling I had with LOTRO, good graphics, bad game due to lack of "playability". Truth be told, I play MMOs mainly for some dungeon adventures and chat with friends, but playability is a big issue.

    However, looking at a lot of the posts on this forum, I am compelled to post here.

    I am fascinated by this forum, I admit it. Just watching what is going on here has made me look at all MMO forums in a new light. I now see patterns I didn't see before; it's just that on this forum they are less subtle, less hidden.

    But to simply ask the question simply: is shilling or viral marketing against forum rules? I don't mean: is it hard to detect (of course it's hard to prove too) I just mean "in theory", is it against the rules?

    
     

    Ok, so let me go off topic right away to drop a essential comment here.

    AoC forum has a lot of discussion and controversy because there are so many new gaming systems implemented in this game. Some love the changes and embrace them as the future to the MMO industry while others hate it because it is a change they simply do not like (It's not what they are used to).

     

    
     

    Ummm no, lot of people didn't like the game because it is a POS and some feel they were lied to when the game shipped without some of the promised content.

    where is the increase?

    
     

    I too fail to see any increase here. Averages are for people hanging by a string... The average chance of this string breraking are: *snap*....

     

    
     

    Hmm you did not get the point. you need an average and multiple datapoints to develop error bar (think about that for a while). And by the way I can post overly positive outlooks if that's what you think I can't. I just try and do it the way it is supposed to be done which is moving average and standard mean.

    This represents an 11% increase over the last two weeks.

    Blizzard doesn't give a shit about a game that is mostly pvp being released.
