It's only $49.99 usd...WTF people! Some of you are debating this thing as if were your childs education. Get over it people! It's 50 bucks and a monthly sub of 14.99....That's a tank of gasoline, not a morgage payment. I spend $60 on lunch every day. Live a little and I doubt you will burn through your life savings
AoC is 59.99 Just FYI
Playing: Everthing Played: DAoC,AC2,EvE,SWG,WAR,MXO,CoX,EQ2,L2,LOTRO,SB,UO,WoW. I have played every MMO that has ever come out.
Its not really $50. I would hope to get at least 3-4 months out of a mmo, so that's closer to 105 spent.
That's not quite right either. See if Conan was the only game coming out this year then I would agree $50 or 105 isn't a big deal. However you have War, Spellborn, Spoor, Stargate to name just a few. I have better uses for my money than spending $50 to play a game for a month before jumping to the next.
Maybe I'll win one of the last few beta contests and get a broader look at the game beyond the pvp weekend. Maybe I'll like what I see. Right now? The info and time spent in game isn't anything special. It not enough to make me want to go buy the game. Is it a bad game? No. I just didn't connect with it.
Agree with the OP.it's $50 peeps. if you cannot take a $50 gamble on your hobby..get a [new] job!
Its the working game not some made up hype thats gonna convince us that there game is the one we should buy, not us buying something we havent the fainthest clue what it is. How is the stability in level 40 areas and how is the endgame areas? Im not paying for a unfinished game like Age of Conan, no way.
Why pay for a game like Age of Conan when you can continue to play good single player games until a good MMORPG arrives? Thats what i will do.
In what way have a greedy company like Funcom deserved my money? In no way. I sincerely hope Age of Conan totally flops and people start getting their eyes up about these greedy companies that delivers just a tiny bit of the game for the audience and rest is hided in shadows for the larger population. Unfinished products with never ending bugs and crashes isnt a finished product. They is selling pre-orders on hype and companies like Funcom is the ones that is really gonna hurt the MMORPG genre by there way of acting.
Its certainly not about the money.I don't wan to beat my drums but i get paid between £27-37($50-75 )an hour so less then 1 hr work = that game.
But there is a principle about things.When i do my work i don't expect to tell people oh heck you only waste a few hundred on me stop moaning that i did a bad job.
Whatever you do in life you need to do it professionally and if you give a shitty product expect people to be annoyed be it a crappy $5 burger or a multimillion dollar project.
I have a post somewhere where i was bashing on funcom for overcharging europeans.Its not the extra $5 a month that hurts me but its the stealth greed done by them.

agree, you people are being silly. it's nothing in the grand scheme. nothing! if you buy...
2 movie tickets = $15
2 large combo meals = $15
2 porn mags = $15
1 large deluxe pizza = $15
2 Movie DVD Rentals = $15
Give up anyone of these things and you have the cash for a monthly sub. I aint rich but damn!
I think some ppl are clearly missing the point. It's not that the game costs $50 or whatever, it's wasting money on a game that has yet to impress some of us. I'll just wait for a free trial and then decide.

deal with it man! it aint a burger or a multimillion dollar project. it's a freaking game and you play it for fun. when you are done you turn it off or throw it away. you dont have to take out a loan of a second morgage to play this game. if it's crappy, dont play it anymore. i guess what I'm trying to say is, you are making a big deal out of nothing.
buy the game or dont buy the game. all I want is for everyone to stop their bitching in regards to the price tag. it aint that much

He isnt making a big deal about nothing. i think people are tired of paying companies 50 bucks for crap. If its good, its well worth it. But as of late, there have been some companies getting fat off of crap products. Then instead of subbing to said game , your turning around and paying another 50 bucks for another crap game ..... its stating to add up.
Thats why ive held off for so long on pre ordering myself. I just havent seen enough to justify throwing 50 bucks at it. So guess Ill have to wait for a trial.

Not everyone has money to throw away. Especially If it sucked and they know they are going to have to blow another 50 bucks on another potentially good game. Then you start running into the hundreds of dollars in games minus sub fees ...not to mention some people might spend money elsewhere. 50 bucks definately isnt chump change for me unless that would be the only game I bought this year.
dude...
if you can't spend what amounts to a pair of cheap sneakers on a game than you should be working...not playing games. But really man, it's just 50 bucks and in this day and age almost everyone can afford that. Come on man...you aren't buying a new car. This is not a life and death decision.
get the fu*k over it!
If the game is worth it, 50 bucks is fine. But Im not blowing 50 bucks on what could be junk. I dont throw my money away ...I dont have 60 bucks for lunch every day nor do i have the money to spend on a 65 dollar pair of shoes every month. For all I know this game sucks balls and Ill have to run around and spend another 50 bucks just as fast , not like i live at my parents house and have no bills either.
You are obviously in a different tax bracket ...and you damn well know it. Either that or you live at your parents house , which I doubt is the case.
Actually, there is a possibility that those repeating the mantra "It's only $49.99" over and over and implying that there is something wrong with YOU if you don't buy it, are MARKETING PEOPLE masquerading as forum folks like you and me.
It would be cheap, cheap advertising, now wouldn't it?
And THANKS to those of you letting a little light leak out from the hermetically sealed beta! It's quite illuminating... and worrying.

hell, I've spent far more for less quality shit. I guess I just don't see the point. I spend a dollar on a lottery ticket and I know it won't amount to anything...but it's fun. just like I bought this game. I know six months from now, I prawly wont even play it anymore. But it was fun while it lasted. Even if it's only fun for a month or so. I simply dont care
If this was a blizzard game I would easily buy it off the shelf for 50$, because their games are always quality. If you and everyone else do it with every game then blizzard would start selling crap as well since you people eat it up, there'd be no point in turning out quality games. So really you should be thanking these people that are cautious and dont buy every turd that drops out of a game developers @%#, you'd be playing tabula rasa or hellgate right now as it would be the cream of the crop rather than the bottom of the barrel.
So dont bitch at these people, they are really doing you a favour whether you see it or not.
