Dear Funcom- We understand this is an old game, and you have newer projects that you are devoting your time upon. We understand budgets, staff reductions, deadlines- some of us do work in corporate structures (different fields perhaps) so we understand that one old game cannot demand constant attention. We understand upper management making decisions that don’t make sense- in short, we understand and sympathize. We understand Age of Conan isn’t the most popular game out there, that it has a small but loyal player base.
BUT- This last summer, the complete abandonment is very frustrating, from promising new content that was put on hold indefinately, to absolutely no word on when or if we get a Halloween event this year. Not to mention several threads relating to billing issues-
Please pay attention to these forums and your loyal player base- we are not asking for much- just some explanations on issues that have been dominating these forums. We have been patient, for the most part- but our patience is running out. Just a little attention is all, and it wouldn’t hurt to spend just a tiny amount of time on marketing to bring in new people. And marketing beyond sending out emails- you might be surprised with the results.
If you read this, I can only hope you can take some of the suggestions of the forum posts under consideration- not just this post but all of them- and give us some feedback. Make us feel like valued customers again, instead of forgotten players.
Hi, maybe Funcom will consider to open source Age of Conan for gamers to develop it by themselves?
Or maybe outsource or franchise whole game to the other studio that would have time and passion for it? AoC has still huge market potential - a lot of new customers on the market don’t even know how great this game is.
Some continous small tweaks, minor updates, new events etc. -> regular steps that would make AoC alive and would state to the mmo community that this game will be alive.
New Saga would be great (PVP and PVE equally). But please remove p2win !!!
Okay, FC want to make bucks? Perhaps they could sell slots for Saga toons against FC Points?
I would be only interested in a saga server without raidfinder, and without worldbosses (or worldbosses with heavely reduced drop chances of epic gear like T1,2, weapons, rings).I do not actually care about p2w on a pve server, though a leveling questline with powerfull rewards would be really cool.
Bottom line: A saga with everything erased that kills groups and raids, but everything implemented that helps groups and raids.
