Enjoy.

Oh, dear, what I have I done?

Just read it before you posted here.

It was a good read, funny

You basically evaluate the game exactly like I did: It just is not fun.

Although I could care less about the people actually  involved in the making of this game, lots of people on this forum here really seem to hate them (or are as close to disappointment that it borders to hate), wich in my opinion goes a bit far.

Also, you said you would e-mail this to the funcom staff, but do you really think it will be read? I doubt it, it is far to insulting to someone who is involved.

I would not recommend to read this to people who still like playing Age of Conan.

@TalRasha: I know what you mean.

I was joking about sending it to all the devs, though I did fire an email off to the Funcom CEO. Not that he'll read it or reply, but who knows? :)

Was a good read and pretty funny and omg right on.

I flame and troll AOC forums all the time, why people ask,  because I'm pissed off for getting lied to and spending 50 bucks on a lie. Hell if someone came up and took 50 bucks from you, lied and said they didn't, then said you should be happy they took your 50 bucks and it was a good thing they did, wouldn't you be pissed? So rock on, Failcom FTL, o and they announced a new MMO, Secret World, ROFLMAO, like we will line up for that POS, I hope Failcom the whole company dies and burns in hell :)  Anyway nice job on the post.

Peace

The most disappointing thing about this entire game is that this game was "content complete" and ready to launch in October 2006.  Funcom witnessed the backlash that gamers around the globe had against Sigil and Vanguard:SOH had from a launch with a game that was clearly, not ready for prime time.  Yet, Funcom says they had no choice but to launch when they did.  My question is, if just two months prior to the Funcom launch you get $37 million dollars in funding, why did you not take that money and get the game "right" before launch? 

The forums were filled with PvE haters and post after post of how this was going to be THE elite "PVP" game on the market and we now see how it turned out.  I'm a RP-PVE fan and I feel that the PvE player got the shaft with this game with regards to the lack of support from fellow gamers and Funcom.  Yet, even I feel extremely sorry for the PvP crowd because they really got boned over regarding PvP in AoC.

The AoC management team failed and if Funcom gives the the keys to another project, then I feel Funcom deserves to crash and burn.  On the bright side, there is always SoE always ready to swoop in and buy the pieces of what should have been a great game.  At least SoE is making an effort with regards to Vanguard to turn it into a decent game.

Great blog entry. Amusing, well written & very accurate.

I tried to give Funcom a chance & stay optimistic about the game for the first couple of months as they seemed to be candid about many issues & seemed sincere about addressing them.

Even as an 'Ultra Casual' player though, my patience started to run out about a month ago & now I can barely manage the enthusiasm to log in while I wait for my initial three month subscription to run out.

I think it's a shame because the game had great potential, but they just seem to have just thrown it away.

Boring as hell, maybe because "writer" took all of the materials from posts already made by different users.

I find that blog to be spot on in what AoC is like at the moment....

Very funny blog, but on the mark. 

Kudos to you sir for a job well done!
