Wiccana (PvE RP) seems to be booming in the last 3 weeks. Since the PvP system patch, and the generally positive direction the game has taken since Sil came on board, I think it's bringing people back for a look. As far as the technical issues that plagued AoC, I'm consistently as 35FPS without any issues AT ALL. If Funcom could only patch voiceover work throughout the while game, I'd consider AoC one of the best MMOs on the market. As it is, I quickly grew bored with WAR and am not renewing my sub. Back to AoC full time and can't wait for Ymir's Pass to make the Live server!
