I do not believe in that because a certain number X indicated a problem in game A that it would necessarily indicate a problem in game B not without looking at the game design for a particular game. That does not make it better, just understandable.īut back to the numbers what triggered my thoughts here was not so much that there might be a problem for Age of Conan here, but rather why certain numbers would be considered an indication of a population density problem.
Many of these forums are a bit of cesspools and working with these can probably cause people to loose perspective a bit. Game companies do not have forums to promote open discussions about anything they do that to try to strengthen their game community and get some valuable feedback. I am not surprised that his post was censored, even though it did likely not violate any forum rules from an outside perspective. I think Classy Gamer did a good job there, although perhaps some investigation on the level ranges also would have made a better estimate on where there may be any issues.
Through Tobold’s open Sunday thread blog entry, I found some links to Classy Gamer’s investigation of population density for Age of Conan of the European side and some update on posting this being censored on the AoC forum.
