What is so hard to explain.  Everyone with an active account logged in to see what the pvp patch was all about.  It's been delayed 4 months and there was a ton of hype about it. (sound familiar).  Do you really think anyone actually resubscribed to test a patch?  Nah, it's just people that have been stuck with subscriptions checking it out.  It's basically the same people who have been banned from their forums because the only thing they do with their active accounts is post negatively on the forums.. well now they actually logged in to check the pvp patch.

Oh, and read the forums.. the patch borked endgame pve raiding and the pvp part of it isn't going over so well.   It was basically overhyped and underdelivered.  It temporarily increased the players in the game, but not subscriptions.

But , but the community rep said that forums were abuzz with all of the happy customers.

Yeah.. take a look at page 2 and 3 where all the locked threads have moved :)

Deathwhisper was packed today.

Maybe for level 80's, wasn't much of a difference in other areas of the game, though ooc had a bit more activity.

edit- since I was off yesterday i was on most of the day and night, coudln't even get a single minigame going in that entire time. I had the search feature going almost the entire time.

Here you go, try to figure a way to spin this in a negative way. Dying....right....

P.S. Set is not one of the most populated servers.

Dude dying was never my take on this games status. Dead was more like it.  So what you can actually run across a territory and see another person? Have they removed the instanced open territories?

Must be a booming success now. Expect GG will get his job back afterall. I mean everything is rosy. Half my guild who still had active accounts logged back into game to try out the pvp patch. 90% of them became bored of the game in a day and are sat waiting for their subscriptions to end.

If the games so fantastic, top ranking Devs dont leave or get pushed. Amazing games dont sit on mmorg with a user rating 6.68 (loool)

If you enjoy the game all well and good and I hope you have fun. But please dont try spouting the same overhyped crap as we had before launch. Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt and sent it back.

Excellent, thanx for peeling yourself away from the UBER Game you feel is AOC to bring us this news.

ME? I found the instanced WORLD ruined the game for me.

TO be clear I'll repeat, I hardly noticed any difference on what is known as the highest pop PVP server. Who knows maybe tonight will be different, but I doubt it. It's just PVP xp it has no bearing on game play, when they release (if we reach that point) the fugitive system I expect a slight increase, again not by much though. I'd expect more people if say they added a few new dungeons and/or zones.

Debates reinstalling the game ..... debates some more.... you think the install dvds will work after I filled them with .40 caliber holes? Im guessing no.... my housemates disks! Ive got the answer ... WAIT.. she burned them in a cleansing ceremony to keep the bad karma this game generated in both of us at bay! NEVERMIND!

OP, why do you care what anyone says on this forum about a game you like?

Now this was a waste of time for you to post this.  You could be playing your game.

But because you need everyone else to like your game, then you truely can't like your game w/out a big community.  So id say find another game.

 

He doesn't have to care, but those people reading might though. Your post is full of assumption and irony, if it bothered you that much why even counter it? Little silly don't you think? You cared enough to reply.

 

Thanks for the post OP, right on topic and a good insight into the current community feelings. Same thing sprouting up on a lot of other forums too. From IGN to TTH.

 

 

The issue is less on whether he has to care; and more about his inflammatory post aimed squarely at those with an opposing point of view.  His post amounts to trolling as it is not a constructive view on an existing or new discussion on whether the servers would or would not see an increase as a result of a PvP patch. Including the name calling, it's reasonable to view his post as designed from the outset to illicit non constructive responses in turn.

Onlinenow225 makes a correct observation in noting that the OP's post is a statement without an existing debate and more about a forum "thumbing of the nose" at those whom the OP feels are not like minded in his view.  That is what reduced what could have been an otherwise constructive dialogue (Incoming reports regarding increased populations in response to the PvP patch)  the OP, instead turned it into nothing more than a troll post.

Age of Conan and Funcom do not need defending. There are no potential customer's who are sitting on the fence 4 months into release specifically waiting for someone to call out people on mmorpg.com in non constructive discussion regarding a non existing topic of whether the PvP would increase populations for any amount of time.  It wasn't framed as a point of discussion, it wasn't the premise for his post, and the tone and language ensured it would not be.

 

Onlinenow225, was right in questioning the need for affirmation; and thus inquired. What does stand out was your ready defense of a non issue, making the same perceived assumptions that you called him out on.  If you're going to liason for Funcom and the AoC community, I'd suggest you stick to reporting on specific items or news of interest (which are done fairly well and fairly objectively) in that format that you've chosen.

Jumping into a thread like this with the commentary you've included diminishes your credibility in the eyes of consumers such as myself; and only solidified any existing or potential perceptions about your ability to be a corresponden
