Age of Conan

The game's hype time is finally starting to end. LOTRO has passed it up now, and if Funcom doesn't fix some major problems soon then it might even be off the type 5 or so list before we know it.

Which, as we all know, is the major indicator for success of an MMO, right?

I was just letting people know. I know some people that would be happy to know that this is finally happening. I know  a lot of people that were wanting to see if it would stand at the top or fall soon. I guess we have signs of the answer to come if not the full blown answer right now.

I just point out the obvious. The most successful MMO isn't even in that list. Why people want to see that happening, or are happy about it is beyond me. The MMORPG.com boards are, after all, in no way any indicator of what game is successful or not.

Then couldn't you tell the OP was also pointing out the obvious? People saw through the hype when the free month ended, and there's still people playing. But what he says is true: if Funcom doesn't change and deliver ALL their promises, alot more people are going to lose interest.

Thank you. When the game came out, i was very into the game...probably 90% over on the fanboy side, but then I realized that it was ridiculous that a huge ammount of the content in AoC was lacking what they had promised us. That resulting in a large lack of variet in things to do... The only thing that there is for me to do until I get to a higher level is just quest...over and over and over. I would like to pvp...get those levels up. Umm...do the gathering quests and do those things....or maybe drunken brawling. Though I cannot because the crafting drop rates are very very low. The pvp levels are not implemented yet, and neither is drunken brawling. Mainly the problem is the lack of variety and things to do. Questing, combat and graphics are the only thing that makes this game ANY fun to me...sorry but that is just not enough.

Sure. That's a given, as with any other game. Companies need to improve their games, or people will leave.

What I pointed out, is that AoC being on Place 2 of the MMORPG.com charts of this site is nothing to indicate success or the lack thereof. If anything, it could be seen as a lack of interest from the few (comperatively, speaking in whole gaming community terms now), people who are here.

But sheesh, if you're all so adamant about this being something important, please. I just don't see the sense. :)

lmao... singsofdeath's comment was pretty much accurate (in a sarcastic matter). I was waiting for AoC's rating to go from #1 to #2 to see this happen... was pretty much predictable that someone would try using this as a way to say AoC failed somehow.

Has anyone noticed the ratings for all of the games listed on this site have gone up significantly? Before AoC was released, no game reached over 8.0. Now the top voted are at least 8.2.

You guys are too defensive/agressive towards video games. You posted in response to singsofdeath's response (sarcastic but true) as if you posted this to just inform people that this reached below the number of people voting for LOTRO. It's on the front page, bud, we all see it. This is a drama post. There isn't going to be anything beneficial to be seen in this thread... nothing factual about the game's development or the game itself. It will be people saying, "HA HA! LOTRO is the greatest game EVAR because we have more voters! HAHAHA!!!1!" in as much of a sarcastic tone I can muster.

IF player ratings on all these gaming sites actually mattered, I could easily back up or argue against your claims. Your assumption being that LOTRO is a better game than AoC because it has had more voters on a single tiny gaming community (not even half a % of the AoC or LOTRO population). For one, to back it up, it's had even worse ratings on multiple sites other than this one. To argue, it's also had higher. If we were to claim that this was the one and only site for factual gaming information, I could say that LOTRO has been out longer and therefore should have always had the largest number of votes to begin with (the fact that AoC was even higher than LOTRO's already from the time it's been out at one moment says something). Second, LOTRO's actual rating is not higher. It is still 8.4, equal to AoC's. To back up your claims, LOTRO's will most likely reach higher than AoC's.

But considering this entire site is biased as hell, actual ratings mean jack crap. I was surprised to begin with to see that within it's first month AoC has already had as many voters as it has had. Like I said, the fact that it exceeded LOTRO's since it's been out for so much longer than AoC says something. The amount of people paying attention to a game rather than it's actual votes are two different things.

Not that any of this that I've stated about votes actually matters. I want to see someone make more drama from my post, please. I could care less.

I don't understand internet drama.

1 thing tho is that when silkroad and all f2p game equal aoc and the f2p as great game (rohan etc)so good that p2p isnt as interesting why pay for a game + pay monthly fee + all toy ,when you can get f2p store based game perfect world as alot of goody .sword of the new word

im sorry to say this but aoc isnt impressive enough might as well play the f2p if you dont like it at least you didnt spend fron 30 to 80 buck to buy it
