Uh. Does he realize that launch was 4 months ago, or is it like I believe, and that Funcom still thinks 4 months out is considered still a launch?

Maybe because after 4 months the game is still not ready, So everyday is a launch when they get up, go to work, and start all over?

they're just trying to reduce damages done. its like Damage control. You cant have the community manager saying "we screwed you guys over for four months and made you pay for a game that barely works so thanks for providing us the monies to support our patches!"

Just the nature of the beast I suppose.

Famine does use these boards as seen lately.

so may be he would like to comment on this?

After all they have nothing to hide and they have listerned to your customers and forums.

so i think the OP should be answerd!

  Funcom should have known how much employes they needed for doing support. And they need a better system to filter trolls from people actually telling them something useful. Cos I got ignored many times when I tried to help them, which would disturb the mind of any player totally.

 Also, how hard can it be to make the ingame petition work atm with so few playing the game? Everyone can tell about how well they do now, but the real test was the first 1-2 months of the game. Now its possible too late.

Funcom was out of time and money and had to release when they did. They hoped sales would be alot better and subscription retention would stay high but it didn't. That  way they could staff up after launch and slide through with only minimal losses. I dont think they thought we would level as quick as we did to find all the problems with the game so quickly.

The big flaw in their plan was the community doesnt take being lied to well and now they are reapingwhat they save sown.

Liecom we show boobs so buy our product. Its a really good game we promise. And we listen to all our customers feed back also. Right now we are making boobs bigger since some customers thougt they were too small.

Please buy our product, please. did we say we show boobs in our game?

Your saying this like 400k+ subscribers is going to bankrupt them. 400k+ is not a bad number by any stretch of the imagination.

And you are assuming the 400k is the correct number of subscribers now.

Maybe there is...until their scrips run out.

I agree that after the influx of cash after the massive sale from the lied about features, that yes, Funcom is ok for now. I do not expect bankruptcy, but I know it is nowhere near the hit that 400k would have made the game. That 400k is probably about 100-200k, and as long as they continue riding their vaporware trail, it will drop even more.

I believe that this Quote says it all....................Thanks for saying the truth out loudly...............maybe now that we all can read it out loud, and say it over and over that Devs of MMos will also hear what the paying gamers are really made of.......their wallets?

Thanks for that quote my friend.
