Funcom shooting CE people in the foot.

First off don't get me wrong, I am looking very forward to AOC, I have heard many good things like, "this game will rule our lives." Granted this may sound over the top but I was told this by a MMO veteran.

So I was linked to a story that AOC will know give the drinking cape to all that have been new subscribers. The drinking cape!? I couldn't believe this, this along with the early access going to cost you a extra five bucks, on top of a dwindling exclusive package. For anyone who likes to role plays a cape that lets you drink anywhere in the world for free would have been awesome.

Think about you could easily have come up with hundreds of ways in which you either have saved the world and the only thanks you wanted was free drinks everywhere in it forever. (Which would be pretty sweet, think about the money saved.) To how you saved towns or even a bar keeps wife or daughter from a band of thieves; or rival god.

Granted I do not know how many people will really role play in Age Of Conan, granted I am not a RP'er; yet I am annoyed for all of those people who spent ninety dollars to have a complete Conan experience to only have it be chipped anyway to those of who spent almost half.
