Not quite sure what I feel other than complete and utter spin on what's going on.

"Add in the fact that developers are taking player feedback very seriously"
Clearly, so much so youve not responded on your own site.
"They often open up the test servers to work with players on new items and incentives all the time."
TL hasn't had anything new since September of last year. Its a ghostown (almost like the game)and theres zero interaction.
Rather sad how much false promotion there is.
"Players continue to return for updates and remain active with the achievement system and PvP." Are they thinking of the same f@*king game LOLOLOL
This is... weird.
Good point:
- AoC managed to get some publicity. It's even positive publicity.
Bad point:
- It is... uhm... what do you call it when somebody thinks one thing and says another? The L-Word?
The amount of fact chacking mmorpg.com did seems to be really great. One view into the forum (which should be standard for MMO-reporting) would have given some ideas what to critical questions to ask. This journalism thing.
Imagine a car magazine reporting about a new car, and not mentioning that the car company has a post on its website apologizing for how sh.tty that car is. Now, that's great research...
If these scenarios are the only content planned, the game must go full f2p as well...
because it's age of conan, and no one really cares. most likely funcom reached out to them and they wrote up some quick piece as a courtesy.
on another note, matt said what he had to say. what else should he have said? "aoc has a few hundred players left and we have no money to make any significant improvements so we're just trying to milk our last few remaining subscribers for what they're worth" lol, see how long he has a job after that.
The biggest problem with the scenario-type content is the cost. They should either A.) be free to subscribers. B.) be about 25$ cheaper or C.) Make AoC buy-2-play and offer these content packs. This article is complete spin on both sides of the dime.

I hate that Matthew has to take all the bad rap instead of people that are actually making decisions, cutting corners and cooking up schemes like Shadow pack.
It used to be different. I love how during 1.5 someone in interview with Craig Morrison flashed "age of casters" right in his face.

But then again mmorpg.com thingy is not an interview with Funcom sending them pre-written article to post and they do so to get the traffic.
