Nice letter, unfortunately it's sounds exactly like a developer memo ifor a game in closed beta.

Craig's a nice guy with a good attitude, too bad he works for a sh!t company. Someone should probably bankroll him starting his own dev house,  cleaning up other folks disasters is a waste of his ability.

I will resub when a competent company takes over this mess and makes it into a good mmo.

 

Q3 report mentions server merger and in the reply to the letter on the offical forums we have the following


[quote=Game Director]In terms of the server merges that is something the community and customer service folk will communicate to you all as soon as we are good to go with specifics, and yes, the plan is still to get it done before the Christmas holidays.[/quote]


So you are miss informed mergers are happening.

 

Also, DX10 had issues with ATI cards and ATI has recently released updates to stop AoC crashing when running DX10. I think part of the reason they held off on the release of DX10 was due to these types of issues. And when the game first released during EA you could enable dx10, it just didn't do too much.

AA, does it say part of being a cooresponant is to go through every post that doesnt priase the game and try to defend Funcoms faults?

I say just be a correspondant and post info like you've been doing, and leave the calling people trolls, pointing out their post history, alt accounts and pretty much calling them liars out of it..

Just an idea..

with the amount of mis information on the web I'm not surpised that he acts this way. People that stopped playing the game in june/july still think the game is in the same sad shape it was in then and that FC is still full of lies and empty promises. Its not on both points.

Oh? I wasnt aware that EE all the sudden quit telling lies.. For example, "hundreds of players in sieges." Of course I guess they didnt know that wasnt possible until right before launch..

Just because a company realizes their losing subs hand over fist and change what they were saying "a perfect launch" to, "we know the launch wasnt perfect" doesnt all the sudden make them saints.

And I agree with that, didn't realise I said any different? It was handled very badly during fast movement and different approach's during development. I do have the ability to have an open mind and see both sides of the story whether I agree one way or the other. For example the first paraphrase you used was from last August and was hinted on several times through spring this year.

"Thanks for the feedback" and "Thanks have a nice day" are kind of childish don't you think? Don't worry, that kind of kiddy stuff doesnt get to me..
