    Ok please don't take this thread further off topic. There are a ton of other threads to discuss those god damn subscriber numbers. This thread is for game talk and reviews/grading of AoC only.

    Since I now am in level 66 I'd like to tell to the naysayers that if possible I give AoC even more a 10/10 now. Dude, the new area Ymirs Pass is just an absolute artpice. Standing ovation FC. I remember how people said just wait till you level, just wait till you have leveled some. Well now I have leveled some and i still dig it.

    Last thing, FC did many additions and changes to crafting, but I still think they have some way to go on this one. So if you are the guy that loves crafting to death, I would say this game is a strong 9/10. I don't craft in any game btw. The concept of collecting stuff is too much efford. I rather like to kill. lol.

    
     

    Ok, I give AoC a 5/10.  I gave it a 2.5/10 at launch, and that was being optimistic.

    No offense meant, Pezz, but if FC slaughtered your family, burned your house to the ground, and stole your girlfriend, you'd still give it at least a 9/10.  You are emotionally invested.

    
     

    Nope I am not, I just like a good game, and you know what, once I have had it with AoC I am on my way to the next one. What I just pointed out in my posts above is only what most other less vocal AoC players think, "this game is great, WTF are the professors analyzing this game to death for. Just log in and play alright!". It boggles my mind, why people are going to such lenghts to downtalk a game. I play any game thats fun out there (and ohh my god I mean anything, Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, anything) and belive me AoC holds a very high standard. It's just very fun and has a great gameengine. Do yourself a favour, don't pass on a good game due to all the professortalk of venomposters in various forums.

    One last note, I have thought about that downtalk thing in the MMO community. It is quite special you know, to spend so much time on trashing games. And I think it is something people of MMO games do to competing games to in some twisted way prevent people from trying out newer and better games. You know, that might depopulate their own favorite game. So there it is, my own little Professor blurp. The message is simple, this game is fun, same level as other really good level 10 defining games out there. Give it a try.

    Why can we never prove it as fact? Because Funcom shutup tighter than a drum about this issue when the game went over the cliff.  This game is dead - they posted sub numbers and then abruptly ceased this practice, citing company policy.  It wasnt policy in the 2nd quarter report when they were trying to use the propped up number to bolster support for the game.  Now they know if they release numbers they have to explain what they mean and they wont be good. So they opt not to release them....

    We would LOVE to see some current numbers from funcom.  Blizzard does this pretty regularly.  Aside from the falsehood funcom employees try to spread on their forums, blizzards numbers are not people served.  The numbers they release are number currently playing in their first month, number of people paying with game cards, and number of people with current paid up accounts via CC, pay pal and other various payment methods. 

    So Avery if Funcom is right and AoC is on the rebound, why not post sub number? WOW does it? What could possibly be the reason that Funcom DID in the Q2 report, and now says they dont because of company policy?

     

    
     

    Spread the love across the board. I bet you will find more games that don't release sub numbers than do.

    Simple fact is if your getting millions of subs you will use it to your advantage. How long was it before Blizz starting annoucing sub numbers? Will we ever see EQ official sub numbers? Will Mythic release Sub numbers next year? Or even Turbine? There is one other company that semi releases numbers and that is NCSoft.

    It's all old news to be honest, and this further reading might show you that it is definately not just FC. www.mmogchart.com/analysis-and-conclusions/

    So maybe moving forward it would be more acurate to label the 'industry' as a whole instead of pointing the finger at one company.

    
     

    CCP releases numbers for EVE - they use it in their advertising.

    
     

    Of course they do, and there are some exceptions. The way things are generally reading from the link above is even private companies don't release figures either, no reason not to right? Fact is there are maybe 3/4 companies that do officially

    "Oh, remesh over the Mammoth frame to save money? ... A week tops!"

    "mummble, Mummble, mummble"

    "Oh just change the base mesh color? .. Open the file and change two numbers, 10 minutes if I have the new kid do it, he's a bit slow"

    "mummble, mummble, mummble'

    "Glad we could help!, oh by the way since I have you on the line ... I hate to ask ... but are the employees in the is department safe from the upcoming cutbacks?"

    *CLICK*

    "Hello??, Hello? ... errf"

     

    
     

    Or it's just a very sweet deal.  

    For your information though, the War mammoth has more hair than the snow mammoth.

    I'm glad to hear it. If I see a few more people saying that the game has improved, I may jump back in here in a couple of months.

    Have they added more content to get you all the way to end game without lulls?

     

    There's still a level range from around 75 to 80 that quests content is lacking, at least if you want to solo. That should be remedied with the two high level dungeons coming in the next game update though.

     

    Just wait for common district lvl 70-70 area that should be released in January .. most likely after that one all ex subscribers will get some free time.

    
     

    There is also coming 2 solid lvl 80 areas. That's a lot of content. I am mid 60's now and PvP Lvl 3. Doing pretty good in PvP in fact. Murderers have come to fear me on my server.

    Pezz, your review is getting old. Perhaps you should make another one? Have you been to Ymirs Pass?

    
     

    I am not posting in these forums any more. I'm over in AoC's forum most of the time.

    Latest highlights though: I just crafted myself a new helm with a purple horn arrangement. Look like a punker lol. Kind of cool.

    I have been over in Ymirs Pass.  FC really just made a good game better in that area. So unbelivably well made.
