Try reading some posts about the game and you might actually realize why every single thing you listed is being done.
research b4 posting = ftw
I play a lot of games...
It's the fileplanet beta that means nothing not the players. People are paying to play a beta of a single player intro/tutorial. If you want to pay fileplanet to download demos and betas that's fine with me. I personally think it's a scam and a ripoff so I didn't do it. I really don't think anyone is mad because they couldn't afford it. Let's be realistic if you can afford the damn game and a pc to run it with a broad band connection you can afford a fileplanet sub. Quit getting all defensive because some people think it's a waste of money. It's just a difference of opinion, get over it.
You should eat your own words. Because what I stated was my opinion also. Don't see how you missed that one. People are not only playing to test/beta games, they pay for the premium download server, and no waiting in line when downloading. Although things didn't go exactly that way, I can say I am happy with what they did. I got my key, i got my download, and i will be playing soon enough. I consider myself a hardcore gamer and prefer perks like that. I can afford it. But what makes it sad is when you can't, or just don't want to. So you come to these forum boards and think making a list hides that fact. If you are canceling your pre-order, thats your deal. But when you share your view with the public, you get what you deserve.
I'm hoping that you'r not right about this, cause i remember vanguard, was suppose to get me quit wow, unfourtunatly didn't go that way because of the early release. We'll see, have to give AoC a try like any other mmo before anybody start to flame it.
2. You very obviously have no clue in the world what you are talking about, congratulations. You can switch BETWEEN Night and Day, each being either single player or multiplayer, this is widely known.
3. It's not like this isn't normal.
4. Welcome to 2008.
5. The only people that leak are obviously people who for whatever reason don't like the game, you don't see people leak about the good parts of the game because they are obviously enjoying themselves and don't want to risk losing beta access, there's this thing called the NDA, you know?
6. Well, a Fraps recording would be against the NDA, once again, you make yourself look like an ass. And there is actual footage,
. Whether that was at GC or not makes no difference, the developer is actually playing, it is not scripted, which is very, very obvious.
7. AO was released nearly *7* years ago. Do you seriously think FC hasn't learned from their mistakes?
8. Um, Siege Mounts come pretty much free from select distributors. (Game Stop, Best Buy, etc)You don't have to pay a penny extra when buying from them.
9. Once again, what the hell do you mean.

There's plenty of information out about sieging.
10. PotBS sucked, that is all.
There's 10 reasons not to listen to this idiot, he has no knowledge about the game and it is very, very obvious.

On your second point, that is a logic answer.. Seeing everyone on release will be low lvl, excellent way to stress test what release will do to the server and everyone in the noob town piled together, while in there day mode (multiplayer mode). Also they will be seeing how this effects the other areas outside of them, in and out of instances etc... The bonus is giving people that really want to see the game before release that were not in the beta a chance too while accomplishing there own tests internally on the servers and everyone in the same area.
And all that from a disgruntled SWG fan.
Go figure
I felt i had to quote this for emphasis as many dont seem know about this. The above post is indeed true, funcom are NOT releasing NDA for close beta testers, only for open beta testers. That means all you level 13 newbies running around in your singleplayer tutorial can post about how amazing the game is.
In either case, ill be here on release, pointing and laughing, just like i did on Vanguard and Dark and Light. It seems some people never learn.

Good to know.
Actually multiplayer is in night mode I think.
Well most of the OP points are not true at all, but if he doesn't want to pre-order that's fine.

You can think what you want ...but a company doesn't spend 3 years in development, work directly with microsoft, nvidia, and advertise in reputable magazines just to release a pile of crap.I think everyone will be satisfied with the game even if there are minor bugs to work out.
Lol... looks like someone got up on the wrong side of bed. Just try the game for what it's worth and for all the effort that was put into making it, and put a sock in it dude. It is what you make of it. If you want to get "involved" with it, you'll probably get more opportunity cost out of playing it than you would if you're just in it to pick and jab trying to find something wrong with it.

Ugh.. unfortunately for you, i know better...Whats so horrible about waiting a month or two after release rather then funding devs for half-finished games? How many sponorship deals didnt vanguard have? I mean really, when will you learn?

Mordria, aren't you supposed to say "Lets just wait until it comes out and see how it is then?"And to the OP, most of these issues have been accepted by those who want to play and rejected by those who don't. I don't have to read 7 pages to know that fanbois have already buried you, so if you don't want to preorder, that's fine. Maybe some of your reasons helped others make their decisions, maybe not. I'm waiting until a few weeks or a month after release.

A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

Unfortunately, everyone assumes they know better. So this statement does not really help anything because no one will believe it. The times I've read that someone knows better on these forums is not even funny anymore.For example, for the longest time, people -KNEW- that Spellweaving would not be in at launch and wasn't even going to be revealed.
Funny how that turned out, no?

Umm.. I'm not sure, but I think he was referring to the part about "a companydoesn;t spend 3 years in development, work directly with microsoft, nvidia and advertise in reputable magazines just to release a pile of crap"....because we all know a certain company/game that did exactly that.
I have no clue how AoC will be at launch, just thought I'd point out that you seem to have misunderstood the previous fellow.
All time classic MY NEW FAVORITE POST! (Keep laying those bricks)

The Vanguard and Age of COnan comparisons really need to stop. I hope even you, in your very bias comments, know that there is little commonality between the two. Everyone, except those that wear tin-foil hats, knows that Vanguard failed because of a very very poor management structure. Funcom is a well-established company and does not have the problems that Vanguard did at launch.
If and I say again, IF Funcom and Age of Conan had a ton of development issues, we all know that Microsoft would be taking their money, publicity and running for the hills. They are sticking with AOC as a Direct-X 10 product and publicizing it as such.
Other than you comments, please, by all means, show us how AOC and Vanguard are so similar. And I think before you start telling someone else "when they will learn", I think you need to understand that every game isn't SWG, DnL or Vanguard. You need to learn that you do not control what others do and your recommendations is no better than anyone else's. Maybe then you can learn that if you were to come to these forums and post RELEVENT info about Age of Conan and why you are concerned, then maybe the community might be more responsive. Seriously, how about commenting on anyone's post here that replied to your 10 reasons?
I agree with the first paragraph. The second one you have no real reasoning behind it, because Microsoft is filthy stinking rich, and if this game flops they'll shrug it off like a drop of water. Third paragraph, yeah, that's what everyone's been saying pretty much. Though I consider 7 pages...and counting...of posts a pretty active response. "Relevant"? This is his opinion, and even though he's trying to force it on people, it's still only his opinion. Let him persuade who will be persuaded, just because you don't believe him don't throw him under the bus.

Ok.. so what company was that?
So the collecters edition I pre ordered at game stop doesn't give me open beta access, as it says?
If so there's nothing I can do about it now , they had one book last week and the war mamouth key today, and they really dont know when any of the other materials will come in, and they knew nothing of software, either downloaded or disc.. Eh well I dont expect too much from mmo's anymore for at least a year after release.
This alone is enough for me. I was in the AO launch, it was a clusterf*** mess even compared to the original everquest launch. The game was unplayable literally, server crashes every hour or less, i quit in frustration 2 months later as nothing improved. It's sad really because AO has one of the better character/world systems at the time with vehicle/jets and all that fancy stuff, it's just not playable...
By the time they fixed the game to a stable state about a year late, the server was pretty much empty.
The only highlight of that mess was one of the AO staff promised to shave his head bald if the game didnt have a stable launcy, needless to say he was bald like 2 mins after the launch lol....
AoC looks to be a repeat...i will wait for all the fanboy crying after the production release to decide whether or not it's worth it.
wow, the OP really made me laugh....ha!
Better grab some salt, bud..you may need it when you end up eating your words.
I don't think 10 reasons is adequate. It should be 100 reasons why not to play AoC.
REALITY CHECK
Umm... it says early entry, not beta. You get to make characters for the actual game several days early is what that means.

Thanks for trying to be my brain. But yours is no upgrade for mine tbh.
