I posted a thread on the VG forum here, but it is relevant to this forum too.  Enjoy and let the speculation begin!  This is taken from the official Vanguard site.  (here is a hint, look at the ad banner at the bottom)

  • Yes, I did notice that to when I was on the Vanguard website. I was thinking of moving over to that game, and while I was looking at features I noticed that advertisement. It put an uneasy feeling in my stomach about the future of AoC, but I carried on my day with a bright look...I gazed out my window to the children playing, but it was all naught. The day had gone wrong and I knew it...was it the bad clam from the previous morning or was it the fact that my wife had died a year to this day. I did not know and I was not caring ot find out; for when I looked back outside my children were gone. Where have they gone I wondered? Though I knew...I knew...

    hheh heh heh well SOE got Vanguard, and PoBS. Why not? I could see AoC on Station Pass. If they dropped the station pass price back to about 2o bucks I would get it for a year if they throw all the clients in for free.

    I miss DAoC

    Why would any sane person even spend their time researching stuff like this? Nothing better to do?

    OMFG!  That is too damn funny.  Very bad place for that banner ad.  Almost makes it look like you get AoC with your Access Pass.  I think Funcom is like Turbine.  No way in hell they'll sell their games to SoE when they are trying to build their own empires.  Make enough games that capture 50,000+ concurrent subscribers and you don't have to worry about making the next WoW killer because you are doing fine enough all by yourself.

     

    Fear not fanbois, we are not trolls, let's take off your tin foil hat and learn what VAPORWARE is:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

    "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

    Why are you on a forum?

     

    Why are you looking at porn?

     

    Because you obviously have nothing better to do.

     

    O and how did I know you were looking at porn right now?

     

    Who the hell isnt?

     

    I even have a permanently renamed tab called "My jive-in Porn Tab, now with Flare!"

    Its all about the benjamins..

    That would be crazy though if SOE bought out Funcom. For some reason I can't see Anarchy Online & AoC as a SOE product, but there have been stranger things.

    SOE is already got EQ,Everquest 2 and Everquest 3 (Vanguard).

    Now introducing Everquest 4 (AoC), highly doubt it, but if the money is right.. muahaha. There would be alot more haters..

    SOE & Funcom .. A match made in heaven.. LOL

    The accusations and wild conspiracy theories get even crazier daily. Again, people making assumptions with only half the truth and nobody bothers to check out the details.



    The ad is put on SOE's website by a 3rd party ad group. They have ads on the EQ, and EQ2 pages as well. The ads are random and totally unrelated to SOE.



    I bet within 48 hours SOE will be freaking out and contacting the ad company about advertising the competition on their website. Just a guess.



    On one page SOE had an ad for AT&T wireless...guess they are buying them too (that is if you follow the logic here).



    Sorry to ruin the fun but tomorrow there will be 34 posts about the SOE-Funcom merger and that SOE is buying Age of Conan. I just wanted to put an end to those rumors now.



     

    I already did on the first page of this thread.
