This post is very informative and needed. There's just not enough posts like this. Can you make one about how you rate the game as well?
Way too many bugs and missing content in AoC to warrant such a high score. I don't agree at all with that score and I'm what the haters would call a rabid fanboi.
I find it almost surreal when someone post an official statistic on sales numbers and you get branded fanboi for it. Wow... I mean WOW! So now you can't even post official statistics. I'm flabbergasted (yeah I know but it's a cool word) by the hard agenda-ridden logic some of the users in this place got. If you post something positive no matter how true it is you're a fanboi. WOW! There's just too much ignorant riff-raff on this forum.
I got a warning the other day for flaming someone so the smart thing would probably be to tone down my rethoric on mmorpg, but to tell you the truth I don't give a shit. Let them ban me if they like. All I need is an excuse to stop logging into this cesspool of a forum. If a ban is what it takes then thank you mmorpg. I don't know why I'm still logging in here. Bad habit perhaps. Just like I was still playing WoW after the first year I guess. The game was exactly the same today as it was yesterday, and it wouldn't change tomorrow in a good way either. The same as with MMORPG. Why the hell did I still play it if it bored me? I just needed a real life event to break the spell and I never looked back. Bad habits are hard to break though.
I was hoping that the people that actually play the game would have this forum for themselves. A forum where we could discuss the game and not just how much it sucks in 200 different ways. There's more posts on how crappy the game is then about the actual game. We know it's not perfect, but it's our game. We like it! I was also hoping that I could use mmorpg in the future to discuss other games when I grew tired of AoC. I guess it's stretching it a bit far as the same flamers will probably just move on to that game. After all it's a "threat" against their game so they'll just move there and start their vicious bile all over again.
MMORPG is cesspit devoid of rational argumentation. Well maybe not devoid. There's a few notable exceptions of course, but they're the minority. So feel free to ban me. Maybe that's what I need to start an account on TTH.

It's all in there and it has awesome pictures.
I'm tired of battling made up numbers.
And how does that prove me wrong? You can't just point to a pdf-report and say "you see you're wrong". Besides there's not a single number in that report that says anythinig about how much AoC has cost to develop. It's a secret. All they've said is between 100mill - 200mill NOK. But please prove me wrong.
Originally posted by BattlekruseLOL, compare Funcom MMO to Mythics, and you can see clearly that DAoC was the most successful MMO out of the two. Then you look at the style of gameplay and no one has done RvR better than DAoC. You take those strenght and you focus the game around it and you have WAR, DAoC without the horrible PvE/ToA.
Really lets talk about Funcom here. One of the worst release in MMO history and could never recover, a company that can't take responsability. Their game Dreamfall sold poorly and they blamed it on pirates. They can't even get some of the most fundamental aspects like combat to work in AoC, that they said they needed to delay the game because of it. We all know they were no where near release and just make excuses. Also for the longest time they showed nothing and made the game look like vaporware, I would not buy their stock even if it was $1 a piece, the company is mis-managed.
