AoC needs a good 6 months before it's worth checking out. I doubt I'll pick it back up again but its a shame that they released the game in it's current state.

Poor Communication with customers.

People have been canceling and during the cancellation process you select a reason from a drop down box and then you can fill out a box with a detailed personal reason. They have a "bug" in their system that is changing peoples drop down box reasons from whatever they selected to "Financial Reason". There was a thread about it on their forums but of course it was deleted as soon as the mods woke up the next day.

A massive amount of bugs that were reported during the beta made it into the launch client.

An enormous amount of content missing from the game.

Their patches break and stealth nerf more things than they actually fix.

The game is highly geared towards console play...


The list of problems goes on and on.

This game isn't out of beta yet so if you plan on checking it out please don't do so for another 3-6 months.

I'm having more fun in AoC now than I have ever had in any other MMO. You didn't like it? Awesome. The bugs I have seen so far have not impacted my gameplay in any way. I did have gigantic issues with the game locking up, but guess what? I needed to update the drivers for my 8800GT(graphics card) and after that everything was kosher.

Will the game be better in 6 months? All MMO's will be. Is it playable now? It beats WoW and L2 in my opinion. The PVP alone is worth the price of admission and I have fallen in love with the art, World, fresh takes on traditional MMO class archetypes, questing, and fast paced leveling.

I'm sorry...what were you talking about again?
