Age of Conan expansion reveal soon Comments by Robert Purchese

All 2 players are in for a treat!

@Dezm0nd Everywhere you go is extremely populated believe it or not...

Believe it or not, most of the players are free trials, now in desperation they are giving away thousands of accounts worldwide to tempt more players....

Then they'll stick you with a charge for the upcoming expansion that will include 'some' of the things they had promoised at launch.

I've subbed and cancelled twice now, the game is still shite. End of.

For the love of the flying spaghetti monster, we don't wanna know.

Expansion should be a free expansion...

"Believe it or not, most of the players are free trials"

Have any evidence/figures to back that up?

I dread to see the back of the expansion box

"dozens of new place holder buttons which do nothing for you to click in vain!"

As I said in the other thread, I'm sure it's better, but I'd much rather they spend a bit of effort trying to win back the poor folks such as myself who spent £40 on it at launch and got an unfinished game. What compensation are we getting? none at all. Instead they are simply trying to give away copies to people who have never played it before, who will probably not bother because of the bad word of mouth us early adopters are still dishing out.

I'd happily give the game another shot if you gave my original account 30 free days and a nice trinket for my troubles, but so long as they ignore the very people who gave it their first chance, they can forget it.

A flogging Horse dead.

Or something.

Bar brawls?

Whoop-de-fucking-do, another monumental cock-up guaranteed!

Just around the corner = Funcom

AoC truely is a great game now. Anyone here moaning either hasn't played it in a while or ever or their PC can't handle it. AoC rocks, try it - seriously! :)

I'm really surprised they haven't done a "welcome back" thing, to me it'd make sense to lure the people who wanted to play the game (but left for whatever reason) back again rather than going after new blood.

@Pirotic

I was feeling exactly the same when 1.05 came out. Everybody* was talking about how good the game had become after these months and expecially after that patch... and Funcom wasn't giving me a chance to see how good that has become??? A ten day welcome back offer would have gone a long way into getting back people that had got the game on the first place and were burned by the status it was released...

However, I decided to give it a go anyway, and I'm not disappointed at all. It really is refreshing after so much time spent on WoW, and right now it plays smoothly and fnally feels like the game I hoped it would be. And, yes, it pretty much full of people, admittedly splitted on just 2 servers, but it fells much more bustling than the majority of WoW servers anyway (which are mediumly populated only if you play with a lvl 80 char). It is still no WoW-killer, but it's on par of LOTRO i.e. right now IMHO

@Dezm0nd

LOL! just LOL! :P not that i agree with your cynicism. but dayum, that was one good crack :)

@Pirotic: they have a new 14 day free trail for old subscribers, mate. Give it a go.
