I am not giving any services related to My.com any money in any form.
So AOC just vent from being my most wanted game to a game i will newer play.
And i am fairly sure this is a feeling shared by most ppl that have played any mmo related to My.com
FeelsBad for you guys, i backed AoC simply because i wanted to Support the awesome idea behind the game. Back then i wasnt even hyped for the game, but saw the Idea behind this Project as a gamechanger for the whole genre.
That said it was one of the easiest choises i ever made in my life.
I did back it on Kickstarter, even without thinking of playing it.
The only thing i knew for sure is, that it would probably be the last MMORPG i will ever touch in my life again.
With that mindset i was settled to become one super hyped fanboi at the end.
Being excited for all upcoming News and Pictures around the Project.
And no matter what happens to AoC at the end (considering Alpha didnt even start yet lol) i am proud to be a supporter of this game.
I think Steven and his awesome Team have proven their abilities and credibility for so long and often enough and clearly deserve some credit for it.
Steven is constantly pushing an insane amount of effort into this Project, way further than anyone else would ... and so does his Team.
Though i can understand the Frustration of People that have been mistreated by companies like my.com back then. I was one of them too
On the other hand i think its time to finally calm down about this Topic and look/move forward to whats coming next.
Everyone voiced their opinion loud and clearly at this Point.
Considering what Steven already did, to prevent things that have happened in the past, in future. also please Keep in mind that hes 100% transparent about it, who else would do that?
I guess no one else.

My hope is that they have good contract only for the servers and nothing else. As they have said that my.com agreed to only house to the servers. As other companies wanted more control over game. Hopefully there are large penalties for failure to provide goods on promised time with the right quality. As this company is only for profit by saving on every possible way.(customer service? what's that for my.com).
If servers work on launch I am content, Will forget the game for now and stop following and recommending. Meaby will be surprised when it comes out?
Two things occur to me:
1. No game company wants to share money if they don't have to do it.
2. Clearly, AoC wasn't going to be released outside the US without help.
Now, that said - this event HAS affected me as a US player and I'll tell you why:
1. I'm very disappointed there wasn't some manner of official announcement by email; instead, I show up for my regular pre-alpha 1 pulse-check and I find everyone huddled around my.com and spend roughly a half hour trying to figure it out for myself.
2. If AoC genuinely couldn't deliver outside the US without help, what does that say about the overall project cost, "burn", and the long walk from "here" to "launch"? Again, no insight readily available and, in that silence, the usual speculation combined with the scars of many indie efforts past throb.
3. Until I know enough to satisfy myself this isn't an indication of "serious trouble" internally, this title goes on my "wait and see" list. While no one else in the world will care, it does mean there is an unknown amount of money AoC is NOT getting from me that they would have received otherwise. (I'll let them determine that lost potential from my initial backing level.)
4. Consumers in this space (including myself) are really quite tired of last-minute or "after the fact" slant, spin, and secrecy. Just TELL us, plainly and together, what the heck is happening and, if you would be so kind, pick the most obnoxious questions you can find and ANSWER them, because if you can hush the obnoxious, the chances that the reasonable among us (usually lurking) will accept/understand go UP.
My $0.02 worth, for whatever it may be worth.
i hope this answers your question of why you had to search for it yourself
I go away for a few days and come back to this! I am so so not happy about this; this is not what I expected from a product of this quality, this appeal and this potential.
This is really important. I'll see it through to live and would love to proved wrong, but I hope to god Intrepid honour refunds for EU if it doesnt work out because this is likely going to end as a massive disaster for all EU users.
I'd much prefer they either delayed an EU release and focused on getting it self published as we'd all expected or created a team dedicated entirely to achieving this to take it off Steven's hands.
I think most people I know I personally would rather see the game delayed a year even 2 years to either find the right company if needed or work out what was needed to self publish but at the same time I'm not the one putting my money and time into developing it either.
I've got some doubts but their are still many positive things as well.
I'm kinda neutral ATM, I'll wait and see what happens and hope fore the best.
Hopefully things will work out with My.Com for the sake of the people who live in EU.
I will still be following the progress of the game and I still really do hope everything works out in the end and it remains the game we were hoping for from the start.
My faith has diminished some what but I still hold on to hope.
There is still a lot of trust with certain aspects of the game but some of the trust that was lost will have to be earned back through action when the game comes out.
