Age of Conan

Can somebody enlighten me as to why these forums seem a bit biased towards certain oppinions regarding AoC? Don't get me wrong, I Loved playing end of open beta. The game totally redeemed itself for me after I lost all faith during the beginning of OB. Miracle Patches do exist. Go figure. So I have every intention of playing AoC. But heres the thing.

It seems that a lot of the negative posts (even constructive negatism) are being deleted from this forum. Now, thats all well and good if it was just trolls, but it's not. Couple this with restricted access to official forums and this is just pure fuel to the conspiracy that has become Funcoms PR. It looks like they don't want people to get a full picture of the game before they buy. I for one love to hear all possible oppinions on a game before i buy. Now, I'm not saying that FC have a hidden agenda, but i can totally see why some people are goin nuts over this. It is a bit suspicious in all fairness. And MMORPG.com have been known to be very pro-AOC...i dunno. Thoughts. Is this just pure paranoia? Should i lay off the weed?

most of the negative feedback is from people who have not reached level 20, only played the beta or have not played the game at all...

so they usually have poor criticism which annoys people

Yes your absolutely correct. MMORPG.com is deleting most threads that talk poor of AoC. I cannot comment any further because I have already received a warning for discussing my opinion on the game.

*Looks around scared*.. AoC has cake and candy and puppies! *hides in a ball*

Yes - MMORPG.COM has been banning ppl and deleting posts for the past weeks from ppl that are not thanking Funcom for everything they have done (like bringing us "massive 48vs48 sieges and no dx10)  This is considered just fine from the mods of these forusm since they dont have to apply to any rules at all.  These are private forums that can say and do whatever and thats exactly what they are doing.

There will be detailed discussion going on in other forums about the behaviour of MMORPG.com regarding this release in the coming days.  Aparently MMORPG.COM is not ready to take part in any such discussion.  But Im just glad that current mod on these forums are not GMs that have to follow any kinda ruleset cause they break it pretty much every hour.

Sweet. Thought i was gonna get flamed for that post. Man i hate biased crap like this. Really casts a shadow on the game for me. Any properly moderated forums you'd reccommend? I've just been using this website as a go-to guide...

You will probably find it is the posts turning into flame wars that are getting deleted and that it has nothing to do with the content.

People that were warned or banned were done so (myself included) because of personal/attacks and flaming, not because of their opinion of the game.

If the thread turns into a  massive flame war which they often do, then I can't blame mmorpg for deleting it.

There seems to be plenty of posts still here with peoples opinion, both good and bad on the game.

Pure lolage. Dingobois post above was edited. He didn't even say anything bad. Very poor...i do believe i will abandon this sell out of a site

Apparently we're not allowed. Surprise surprise.

I will not be buying AoC thanks to this site's obvious partnership with its producers. I'm done with mmorpg.com too. Cheerio.
