Age of Conan

I am definelty glad to see that their isnt as much flaming or trolling going on now since most of the haters have left. They must have gotten bored of AoC flaming and went to another game. It is now WaR flamming time!!!

When you are ahead 42-0  with  30 seconds left in the game, and the other team's quarterback is taking a knee.... you don't really push and try and get a last hit in.

Warhammer is a bit different, they are down 35-0 and there is still 2 minutes left in the game, and for some reason they are still trying to run the ball :)

But to be serious, a lot of it has to do with GG being gone.  The new people really don't go out and say really brash and annoying things.  They sound like they are firmly set in reality and are trying to make the game better.  You have to respect them for trying to give a good experience to their players.

It's only when people like cobra/pezz/ilovefuncom/whateveraltnameheusesthisweek  comes along and starts talking nonsence that people really start flaming.

I think that a lot of that also has to do with AoC falling off the MMO radar into the relative obscurity it probably deserves.  To be honest, I think few people pay attention to the game anymore, so it is now left to its current fans.

Seriously, AoC is the Vanguard of 2008.  How many people seriously pay attention to what happens with Vanguard, unless they play it?

I think it's just the playerbase coming closer to equilibrium.  Fewer outsiders will care, especially as new games continue to come out.

Hmm I disagree.

More like all the people who are actually enjoying AoC are too busy playing it to bother with these forums.

Which left the flamers all alone... and the sad pandas were tired of hearing their own voices so they moved on to other topics.

Actually, I think the reduced flaming goes hand in hand with the vastly reduced overall traffic both this forum and the AoC forum have, which is also indicitive of how severely the playerbase has eroded in total.

AoC has become irrelevant to those that don't play it.

And yet here you are.

Doesn't seem to me like you are playing AoC but it does seem like on some level it is relevant to you.

Besides despite AoC losing a lot of people in the beginning... It gains numerous players daily... and thats much more than the number of people who are leaving the game now. I don't think AoC is irrelevant in the least. As there are a lot more people waiting to return given the right conditions.

lol at your lack of self-awareness.

Apathy.  Folks have had their say and now they don't care.  Everyone has their opinions, no need to beat a dead horse.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the game is firmly where it belongs in a niche market and FUNCOM finally stopped lying and spinning things (or is it just that no one cares to listen)
