WAR > AOC

I love how Mythic is sticking it to Funcom (Failcom) by releasing patches super fast, we don't have to wait weeks between known exploits for them to fix it, they fix all of the problems on the server side with a few meg patch to upgrade our software...

I love how Mythic is just amazing.. it is funny to see how most of the AOC fanbase feel like they were screwed by Failcom and moved to WAR and are having a GREAT experience, I know because I am one of them.. :D

I think that has more to do with the lack of capital. Funcom isn't backed by a monolithic gaming corporation with plenty of resources to spare. Mythic can pull this off because they have the resources to hire people just to go into the game and patch things. Funcom doesn't.

If Funcom wasn't so ambitious, they'd have done just fine, but they went well beyond their reach. Reaching for the stars is fine, just don't do it over the open mouth of a volcano.

This is awesome. My guild is slowly moving up the Tier 3 content into Tier 4, and this was one of the biggest complains we've had so far. Way to go, Mythic!

I think more than the patches coming quickly (after all, AoC did patch certain things twice a week), they're not all MASSIVE. Downloading 200 MBs worth of stuff every few days was not fun. Of course, I'm sure it's slowed down by now.

Also the fact that they do actually fix stuff. If I had to download another 500MB patch which just broke the game more again.


Either way Mythic is listening, and that is great.

Fun game, but the huge limitations added to seige weapons (compared to DAOC) sort of put me off. Makes each RVR experience the same as the last. I'm not quite sure whey they added this pad system, but regardless, I'm done at the end of my month. I'm sure I'll come back later though.

I've been playing the game slowly, and it's paying dividends. The amount of detail they've put into the game is startling, and it's the perfect casual game. The new Tier 3-4 exp fixes are just gravy. I'm only just turning 21 tonight.
