Man can not live on Beta alone

After the boggled open beta release for age of conan Hyborean adventures, I clearly had the impression that this game was gonna be all hype and no substance.

The beta client fiasco, the rampant complaints on the forums about glitches, lag and bugs.

There was a steady stream of negative forum comments bashing the game. Maybe "stream" it too light, perhaps a tidal wave, monsoon or tsunami is more appropriate.

Cries of doom rang out! Clearly the last days were at hand!

So what happenes at pre-release? The Apocalypse?

No, of course not...

just the opposite. From what I Gather all is well and good in the land of hyboria. The so called "Miracle Patch" that would be needed to save the game actually worked. Many gamers enjoyed a steady dose of conan over the weekend.

Albeit not perfect by any means, it does appear that the game is stable enough for release.

They say you never get a second chance to make a first impression. But I think funcom just did.
