This is Age of Conan MKII

I'm not missing your point, I just think it's an asinine point. :\

My individual boredom appears to be not so individual if the forums are to be believed. I paid £40 British pounds for this game, you really think I want this game to be another generic MMO failure?

being slow and paying for it is the equivalent of having a gym membership and not going. you may be okay with paying $15 a month for little to nothing, i prefer getting something for my money.

Ive got 8-9 days played, level 45 now with no dialogue skipped, all professions at 400 and enough money to buy the 3rd rank for pilot at 50 as well as whatever bikes.

If it wasnt for the class story line, i would've lost interest by now. I expect that to happen once im done next week sometime. I may start an alt just for the sake of playing the full 30 days but im probably gonna cancel, leave and come back in 2-3 months time. No need to pay to not play.

What a joke. Didn't you say "I can't wait until the new forums are launched so the children are gone!" Funny.

Age of Conan had/has a lot of critical issues. Not only is the game insanely boring but it feels like you're inside a box when playing. I guess the only good thing about conan was that it didn't have any ability lag. Forgot to add Warhammer has the same "box" feeling to it.

While swtor has the same problem... it's nowhere near as bad. Instances, loading etc, it really destroys the immersion of a mmo. When will they learn.

The days of daoc/wow seamless worlds seems long gone.

Meh, nothing else to play anyway.

Well, in their defense, I can't think of a way to let people WALK from Hoth to Tatooine either.

I'm not saying this game is going to be the most successful MMO of all time, or that it won't die after the first month, because it is impossible to know these things.

But if we solely base a game's aptitude off of its general discussion on a forum:

WoW would have "died" about one thousand times for a thousand different reasons.

Skyrim would be the worst single player RPG of all time.

MWF 3 would be complete **** compared to BF 3, while at the same time (somehow), BF 3 would be complete **** compared to MWF 3.

Ect, ect...Until you're bored of typing.

Forums are a good temperature gauge of how healthy a game is if you understand it objectively.

I was playing SWG during the introduction of the NGE and the CU an the forum community was the voice SOE should have listened to, but they didnt and they regretted it.

That was THE greatest movement of players against developers that had ever happened in all of gaming history, so much so, even broad sheet newspapers were reporting on it.

Fellow players and the developers should head the general consensus of forum content or ignore it at their detriment.

Eh, the rage on these forums do not really equal that of the release of NGE. But I understand what you're saying, you should listen to the complaints of your customers.

But a rage filled forum during an MMO release (and beyond) is as normal as apple pie. The only thing it indicates is that your MMO is not perfect, like them all.
