Late to the party here but yes, absolutely this! I’ve been a fan of Robert E. Howard’s Conan since I was a little girl. I remember well my excitement when I found out Age of Conan was in development. Haunted its forums for over a year writing silly stories about the character I intended to play. Had a blast playing that game and met my husband there. Then FC ruined it for roleplayers and I left and never bought another FC product until they lured me back with Conan Exiles. Private servers and mods have kept this game alive and active for an awful lot of people. I play (and co-own) a server that sticks to Howard’s lore and reimagines the wonderful Savage Wilds map as actual locations in Hyboria. With mods I can have characters that look vastly better than FC’s.

But now here we are with FC killing its own game again. And I can see, however sadly, that there will come a day when I have to walk away from this one as well. Literally the best thing FC could do for CE would be what eventually happened to Star Wars Galaxies. Simply shut it down and release it into the wild for private servers to completely take over.
