If there is a one thing Funcom does well its HYPE. Age of Conan was hyped so much that it left earth's orbit and became its own planet in solar system (planet Conanus). It is strange how AOC expansion is kept under wraps for sooooo long. What gives? How is it even possible that Erling Ellingsen - the sexiest man alive - is not out there, hyping the shit out of expansion...right now?All we got on expasion till now is two artworks.
I think its because of AoC's current state and many many problems - if Funcom was boasting about expansion the company would got eaten alive both by players and the "press". Perhaps Funcom learned a thing or two over last year, or perhaps it is just healthy mix of decency and self preservation. Can't say I am excited for expansion:
1. I rather get content in small batches and often
2. We know NOTHING about expansion
Khitai is a weird weird setting for expansion too - REH hardly mentiones it in his books. Funcom will have to almost create whole country from a scratch.
I was VERY excited about AOC (even more than when WoW first launched), but it is hard to fall in love again when you been hurt so much (yes, I am still talking about mmo, aware of geekness, don't bother to point that out). Basiclly the Devs will have to WOW me with something totally new and fresh. Oh and I rather have some decent content that will be delivered than steaming bullshit that won't work (like 100 man sieges).
