[Carl Ragadamn]

[Mulambo]

I wish AoC had been awesome.

What I was thinking. I bet if you were to run up and yell, "butt rape!" He would bend over in a manner that is like that berries and cream elf from the starburst commercial.

[Byggin]

Lol.

But aren't a lot of companies doing shitty (in america)?

I mean... not this morning Merrill Lynch sold themselves to BoA, citing lack of secure funds.

I thought FunCom was Norwegian?

[gurinthedark]

Lol.

And Death Row Records went down the drain a few months ago.

[Darkmatter]

I wish AoC had been awesome.

Yeah... Too bad.

[Byggin]

According to this article Here (http://www.actiontrip.com/reviews/dreamfallthelongestjourney.phtml)

Not so long ago, Funcom got some funding from the Norwegian government, and as a result, Dreamfall: The Longest Journey, the sequel to their successful adventure game has hit the stores, while the team is busy as hell working on their next foray in the MMORPG genre, Age of Conan.

Their CEO did most of it i think, he sold his stock on aug. 14th. There is a big dip in the stock right there.

damn that sucks

i fuckin love dre

[Wickfield]

Ok, so I was talking out of my ass in the earlier post (I'm tired...fuck), funcom IS a Norwegian company.

Right now, their stock is lower than it's ever been, and has dropped something like 50ish a share since march (when it peaked).

Anybody wanna tell me why this is?

[Unahim]

I don't like how that graph was made at all.
There should be an equal amount of space between every number, not a huge ass 20 to 10 and then a super small 10 to 0 to make it seem closer to 0 than it is...

It is pretty close though :p

I wonder why it goes up occasionally?^^

It went down cause AOC sucks. :bang:

[DipMode]

I wish AoC had been awesome.

Robert E Howard did not have those character classes. shouldn't have been called AoC AT ALL!!

[Krush]

It's not exactly funny when game companies start going down.

[Sennex]

Man i agree so much. It really shows the character of some people when they take pleasure in the downfall of others.

[surGeonFFS]

I'm not happy about this even though I hate AoC. Funcom shoud've just stuck to what they knew. The longest journey was awesome (Especially the Norwegian version)

[ian_ellis]

yeah sucks, They shouldn't have made the game shitty though...its really their fault, and they released it a bit to early.

[DipMode]

The vast majority of those playing on a PvP server wanted greater concequences. What they patched in later was an insult.

sigh.... had to go back to EVE while dreaming of Darkfall.....

I disagree when that company lies to get boxes off the shelve, I think it is perfectly fine to find their demise amusing.

Everything's turning to shit.

You know I really hope Funcom tanks hard. It will show the rest of the industry that the players will not tolerate a game that does not produce what they hyped up for. Features, concepts, let alone that the game actually is playable. Funcom showed me their character by releasing an aborted fetis, the only thing they are good at as far as i'm concerened is marketing. Funcom didn't get my money but Vangaurd SOH did, the release wasn't as bad as AoC but the game didn't deliver.

This is the scenerio I don't want to see. Games shortening develop time working up the hype on the game because they know if they can get 1 million box's sold off the shelf they pay for development. Then they say we will fix/finish the game. Fuck that I want a finished product.

Here is a good post from Mortal Online about the Gamers Bill of Rights. (http://www.mortalonline.com/forums/2541-gamers-bill-rights.html)

[Dazarthas]

Poop in a box doesn't equal fun... poor AoC players.

I lol'd at the image of shit in a box when they open their AOC box XD.

[Byggin]

[Hyster]

[hostileEffect]

But they also log the search, the computer it came from, what time it was made, and a bunch of other things. Use Hidemyass or a proxy when dealing with Google...

Since Hyster ruined my thread I'll try to get it running again.

Quoting yourself is bad form, trying to press a thread back on track after its run its course is also bad form. Just let it die and hope that someday you will get it right.

[Metal Wolf]

How would you categorize the current economic forecast for companies with no current successful projects:

Arse seckz.

I like Carl! I'll call you master yoda for teaching me proper forum edicate.

[Behhemoth]

poor funcom, i hope aventurine starts to publicly trade stock soon

[TubeSock]

You guys all realize DFO could be just as much of a flop as AoC? Although I'm quite faithful about DFO and see a good future for it, it still has potential to be an even bigger fail than was AoC.

Your right, I am sure they are rushing it out the door with huge flaws and only half the promised features...Oh wait.

[skatenike]

dude there are some wierd people out there would play with a box of poop for hours on end

[Kusghuul]

My brother was convinced AoC was the way to go. And spent his savings on shares. Stupid 14 year old nerds.

[Galadourn]

This was mentioned in mmorpg.com

[Kusghuul]

No surprise there.

[Ludo]

Does age of conan still have potential? doubt it.

[Yamamoto]

Half finished games ftw.

[muffins]

:eek:

I wonder what their true subscription numbers are now that Gaute Godager has been pushed out of the door?

[Whoopin]

Half finished games ftw.

That was the problem and its blatantly obvious how much activity the Test-Live server now has... paying for beta literally.

I canceled this week since the population is too weak to RPK.

[Suitepee]

No surprise there.

Yep,and I hope it continues to be displayed as a shining example of how MAINSTREAM over-hyped games can be complete piles of crap.

You know,much like how indie,underground and long-development time games were called into question by Dark & Light.

So next time someone says "How you like that new MMORPG in development from NCSoft?" for example,I wanna hear someone say "I smell another Age of Conan!"

Too bad that game fucking sucked. The origianal The Longest Journey was fucking best, a modern classic.

Better graph. Måned = Month, År = Year

[Aryslan]

Basically Gaute Godager resigned his charge in AoC cause he didnt like some aspects of the game. Full story at:
http://www.funcom.com/wsp/funcom/frontend.cgi?func=publish.show&func_id=1321&table=CONTENT&item=1004

To me i think he jumped from a sinking ship.

[Temet nosce]

After 16 years working for them? Yeah, I doubt it. More likely he decided it was their fault the game stank or somesuch, and that he would've done better if he'd had more control over the game. (or it could be something else, but I doubt it was as simple as him just leaving because of a single failed game)

[Demis]

he's going to play darkfall for sure..

[Aryslan]

Yes, many fonts point the failure of the game to be management decisions and well he made a lot of bad decisions in the last year, i think he couldnt blame anyother of the surroundings and left the game before all fingers pointed to him.

[Mordhak]

Maybe he got tired of people pointing and laughing at him in public and yelling "Hey look! It's the director of the biggest fucking disappointment of the year!"

I stared at this for a while then finally realized I was tired and had forgotten to look at your number. Post less, read more, you aren't ready for Forumfall and I'm to tired to bother with you. Or better yet, go play in GD for a while.

I think I'll go cook some food, anyone have a favorite 3 AM munchy?

WTF are u talking about?
I am new to the forum, and you are telling me thats all? If you dont want to bother with me is okay mate, im not the one eating cheetos at 3AM in front of the computer.

[Largion]

Lets hope he gets a job from Aventurine remaking everything the community complain about in DFO.

:ninja:

[Kusghuul]

Wasn't there a thread about this?

[Sargon]

I hope he plays Darkfall so we can be pals.

[Hackapell]

There was, I merged into the thread about Funcom having problems. This one gets merged too. :)

GG lol!"


Btw...damn should've bought Funcom stocks and then sold them at the hight of the hype.

[Scully]

I was pretty sure AoC wasn't gonna live up to the hype, but I didn't know it would be this much shit. I just hope they get back on their feet and make The Longest Journey 3.
