Well, the poll is inaccurate to an extent, since people are more likely to choose to respond if they have a negative opinion, and the community here is both more hardcore than the average player (and thus more likely to grow bored quickly) and FAR more negative than the average player (just look around these forums for evidence of that).
That said, AoC has had a dismal launch, and appears to be a seriously flawed game. It's a shame, since I really liked the style, presentation, and basic combat gameplay. I was hopeful the game would be great, and I'd be very happy if Funcom turns things around in the near future, but I wasn't willing to bet my own money on that. :)
Why not try it out? I have little doubt I'll get my money's worth for the free month. It's a game, not a car - if it sucks, I'm out a few bucks. I accept that terrifying risk! :)
And it's not a choice between WoW and AoC for me. WoW is a non-issue. When I cancelled my WoW account a while back, I couldn't even be bothered to log in for the last 2 weeks it was active - now that was some wasted money!
Posts like this one reek of fanaticism. The claims of trying to help people ring false, as there are hundreds of games (and movies, DVDs, music CDs, etc) released every year that don't have FUD attached to them for little reason. After all, what reason is there to care how someone spends some of their extra money, unless you're worried how it will affect the competing product that you're attached to?
