I think EE handled that pretty damn well.

How the hell is what AoC released with not a basic PvP system? Half the frikkin' MMOs (*glares at WoW*) come out and you barely even have the option to fight other players! AoC's PvP was way ahead of the majority MMOs right from the get-go, one of the big things it always had going for it.

The AoC hate is really tired at this point. FunCom was over ambitious for a small company, dur. So walk away and come back in six months and you'll have an actual damn good MMO. No QQ necessary.

They put out a lousy game and they're rightfully catching hell for it. Sorry but the days of Pay-To-Beta is over.

For one, everyone is drastically overstating it's issues. At the end of the day the game works and there's a lot of enjoyment to be had in the experience.

Second, THEN DON'T PAY FOR IT. Seriously, just cancel your subscription for a few months and try again later. If you feel it's still beta-like, then just don't play it until it becomes more stable. Unless you work in a Chinese sweatshop, nobody's forcing you to play it...

I'm not, believe me. However I'm still going give it all the scorn it deserves and continue warning people against paying for it. The MMO genre has too many garbage-games floating around as it is.

True enough, although I don't think AoC is one of them. I recommend to people they wait a few months and then try it to see if it's of their taste. I find it quite refreshing for a MMO myself.

Shit Nmaster, you still play fucking AoC? Who would do that to themselves is beyond me.


Oh and warhammer? Just got finished playing today and I did not have ONE. SINGLE. CTD. I had one que (8 out of 8 so it was like 30 seconds) and was able to play smoothly the entire time, including being in some large PvP battles and PQ battles.


Warhammer just released. Age of Conan has been out for 3+ months now. What happened to the idea that "all MMOs ship buggy"?

I may have gotten off tangent, but really wasn't it you or one of these guys that said all MMOs are buggy on release?

I don't play much AoC lately, been more into Guild Wars while waiting for the PvP patch. I'll be logging back into Hyborea tomorrow.

Don't kid yourself, WO has it's share of problems, although I'm sure it's plenty more stable than AoC, no doubt. I can't imagine why...hmmm...oh wait...what a coincidence...
