I wrote a State of AOC Assessment back on July 4th (http://forums.ageofconan.com/showpost.php?p=1399230&postcount=1), and told them that their product would bomb if the game wasn't "right" within 90 days of retail release.

PVP players are a fickle bunch, and if you cater to them for a customer base you better launch your game with the features as advertised. If you don't, you have to deliver within 90 days or they bail on the game en mass.

No one's going to worry about AOC anymore, it had its chance and they blew it.
