Funcom has to my knowledge, never claimed to be making a WoW killer. AoC was never going to compete with WoW. 2 different type of games. Also, the fact they never expected the 700k subs they had is proof of that. So, stop trying to spread that BS your spewing.
this is correct. funcom never expected to be top dog in subscriptions. they were quite comfortable with the niche they would appeal to. i think they unfortunately cut an even thinner slice of pie than they intended.
For the last time. Everyone who followed the making of AoC should know that Funcom were after wow-subs. That is why they didnt make a true next gen game. Funcom chasing wow-subs does not mean that they tried to kill wow, they didnt have enough talent or money to try that...
Every MMO is after WOW subs. Duh. Now you contradict yourself, my previous reply to your post you stand firm by implying AOC was going to a WOW killer.
Nah. Its just you who dont get it. And I will not watch the hype videos or read the hype interviews again just do dig up that quote for you. And really, just logging in and playing some AoC proves me right. Think and you will get it.
Rampant exploiting destroyed this pvp patch. Move on.

Wrong.
"Compete with WoW" doesnt have to mean "getting 12 million subs". It can simply mean "the subscribers coming to AoC will be taken from WoW player base".
Funcom stated that they were indeed going after Wow's subscribers. Thats why so many features are so strikingly similar in AoC compared to WoW. Funcoms idea with AoC was something like this:
"Lets make as many features in AoC similar to WoW as possible. With one exception - fighting. That way we will give all the WoW-refugees an easy transition over to AoC."

omg... I want a Black and White Cow.
Instead of tea bagging my enemies, I'll dump a cow pat on their corpses!

For the love of God Funcom get those amateur mods 2 accounts to post with! Funcoms community will never be taken seriously with mods like Charon writing stuff like that. Maybe we should PM this to Famine. Last time I did that mod got banned and kicked. ![]()
Would you rather see a game release pushed back a year or have the game release with a few bugs that will be fixed?
