Age of Conan

I just came to mmorpg.com and first thing I see? Another AoC article.

For kicks, I scrolled through the featured articles and AoC currently has 3 out of the 10 slots occupied. It's the only one that has more than 1 present, and I think that's the case almost constantly. Week after week, every few days, bam... brand new featured article about AoC.

I mean of course it's good to keep themselves in front of people's eyeballs, but good grief.

It kinda comes across like they're desperate to keep themselves in the spotlight; like an insecure child who constantly needs people to notice them; "look what I did! look what I did!"

Facetiously speaking, of course, if someone there had a birthday cake shaped like Conan's head, it wouldn't surprise me to see a featured article about it here.

I don't think I've seen so much coverage for that game on any other mmorpg website as I do here.

FC seems to have an awful lot of "stock" invested in this site. Although I wonder... does MMORPG seek out these articles, or does FC request an article about anything they want to talk about?

maybe you should look at the entire month worthe of features...AoC is pretty much in line with every other MMO

I really have to agree on this one, its really annoying with all these AoC stuff going on.
Jesus christ FC really are desperate or mmorpg.com staff likes AoC. But I think FC owns some part of mmorpg.com (more than 50%) it feels like that. Cause, this is pretty stupid.

look what I did! look what I did!! Very fun . I don't know maybe it is like that. We AoCers have a lot of good stuff going on for us now though. Maybe thats why we are so anoying. Don't worry, in about a  week or so we go back to our silent nonexistant place in the universe.

If AoC have more info here it must be because their advertising department sends out a lot of info and other games is worse with that. What do you expect the staff to do, go around to a few companies every day and interview people or censor game info to keep all on the same level?

This site ain't particulary AoC pro, just check the review here, it was really low and almost every game got a better one.

Silence isn't that good if you want to sell new games, more companies should send out info this often. Also, WAR have at least as much info, they do a lot more new things with games that have not been out so long than games that have been out for many years.

Ah, one more whine post from the AoC bashers. Nice to see you are frustrated seeing AoC development alive and kicking

As far as I can see, AoC is no different from the other games. This is the number of posts for the past month:

- AoC 7

- Loto 16

- EVE 5

- WAR 12

- WoW 10

- etc...

www.mmorpg.com/features.cfm

So, you guys aren't whining about WAR, Lotro or Wow which had more posts than AoC?

AoC had a major gameplay overhaul with ground breaking new features to the game: major PvP improvements with consequences system, criminal shady camps, huge itemization and crafting improvements,... new areas are being added to the game, etc... These things need to be talked about, the players need to be informed.

This is business as usual, nothing to see here, move on.

I like to keep up on what's going on with the different mmo's.  The articles are free.  Read them or don't read them.  No biggie.

We should be so lucky......

The only reason there are three articles is because Amazing Avery was so upset about the poor score in the review that jedijef wrote, that he had to pull a month old interview with the smallest guild on Tranny out to show him up....

Well said. The article that went up today had been shelved from since 2 weeks back.

Don't fear though, judging from the lively discussions on this forum there is plenty of interest.
