I think the reason people get so upset about this game is that $50 or $60 for the game plus the monthly subscription...PLUS the time it took to realize what rubbish it was....that isn't always easily affordable for everyone. I'm glad if you have enough money to say "oh well"...but honestly..I'm tired of wasting money on these games and trusting what the designers say. I didn't 100% hate the game...but there was nothing that would keep my interest. Warhammer Online held my interest for about a month..but honestly...its boring and adding two new classes isn't enough to pull me back to that mess either. WoW is in no way perfect...but it does give me some sense of satisfaction when I play. Will I try other games in the future...probably...but honestly...they need to lower the monthly subscription of AoC and make real changes...
