Latest Blog Entry - So Funcom
From my blog Playing from my Room [alakram]
So Funcom is using their brains. It shouldn't be any type of news but it is. Someone managing a big game company takes a look at the market and find a good moment to reach a really good position in the mmorpg business. I'm talking about Age of Conan and Anarchy Online. Don't you see it?. Age of Conan appears to be a good game. It's not a native sandbox game but it have some features, good character customization and player cities. The game will launch this year, or at least we hope so. There is no Modern "Adult" Fantasy game on the market in this times. I mean, fantasy game suited for adult players. Sure you can play EQ2, it's a good game, but it doesn't have an Adult Art direction. Sure you can play Lotro but it doesn't too, and its a good game too. The same goes for some more AAA titles, good games but not aimed natively for adult players. I'm sure a good amount of people will leave their actual games to try AoC only because this one have a Mature art design. Like Oblivion, or Gothic 3.
And, someone on Funcom took a look at the sci-fi mmorpg's market and thought, hell, there is no modern sci-fi games out there:
Eve online: I know it's a good game, but it's too hardcore for most of us.
SWG: I played it in November and December of 2007... Most of us know what a Joke of game it is.
Anarchy Online: It's an old game with outdated graphics... Doh!, well... Funcom will give AO a brand new graphics engine.
IMO, Funcom is trying to earn a good share of the mmorpg market by launching a good fantasy game and relaunching a good sci-fi game. Good for Funcom!

Second, I wanna say I'm disapointed, a lot, I went to this site, I got the beta and all, I thought AWESOME! TCOS Beta there I go. This was yesterday at the evening, gmt+1 time. I started the fileplanet download yesterday night and this morning I found it had an error and to make it worse the beta is finishing today.
Why the hell they give you a beta invite for a 1 day beta. This hurts more than it helps, Im really thinking about not giving it a go when it comes out on 27 cose of that. What am I supossed to test in 1 day?. No I'm not going to "rush" a download stay all the day trying to set it up, install, wait for pachting and all to play, may be, 1 or 2 hours. This is not the way to make a promotion or a closed beta, cose, to be fair, I dont think they want me to beta test nothing in 1 day, this is not a closed beta is a promotion, a bad one in my opinion.
This wasn't a promotion. It was a fellow gamer finding a site that still had beta invites and gave people who wanted a chance to play, a chance to play. Many people wanted in on this game to check it out, but with the beta ending somewhat before we expected, they didn't get in to the European beta. At the moment, nobody knows anything about the NA beta, so really the OP did people a huge favor. Don't get upset at the game because you didn't read the post saying beta was ending today.
Ah well, you are right. I was just upset.

It is launching on November 27th for NA also right?
I may be wrong but as far as I know, TCOS is not launchiong the 27 in North America. It start closed beta testing for north america this day and will launch for Europe this same day. NA will have their launch sometime in january.

- What's your take on naming Characters in an MMORPG?

Do you want all names to be made up fantasy/Sci Fi names, like Toncha Kantesh?-> Is always OK, i love made up names
Is it ok if people use common names, like Joe or Steven?-> is ok depending on game theme
Does it bother you if people use leet speak names, like Haxxorzpwnsjoo?-> never, i hate this
What about celebrity names, like naming your toon Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie? -> hate this too
How about naming your character things like Sonic, Lightning, or Tiger, actual words basically? -> Is ok
Is there anyone that wouldn't care if people use stupid or offensive names, like Smellmyfart, or Smokemoarcrack? -> I dont see the point on this, I usually think that the guys using this names are stupid, but I dont care about them.
