I can't say enough about how well this game plays at launch. I was expecting the worse after playing beta and having crashing and video issues but I have been playing on the early access since saturday and have yet to crash or lose connection. The gameplay is excellent, the PVP is fast paced, and the graphics put any other game to shame. I can see myself playing this game for years.

2 weeks ago I was flaming this game, now I'm telling others not to miss your chance to play this game. Its head an shoulders above anything out there

   only one problem with your post ITS NOT LAUNCHED YET

  What he said.

  Its a hell of a lot easier to run the hardware when you are exercising a vice grip over the amount of players potentially slamming the server.  Lets wait for the actual launch before making hopeful claims.  I think it will go well enough...but I'm also not going to assume that EA results are going to be anything NEAR the performance actual launch will receive.  Expect it to be worse, it can't possibly be better.  That doesn't mean it has to be BAD either...just worse.

And yet, you call yourself Enigma and you're posting about a fantasy roleplaying game on MMORPG.com forums.  I'm not trying to be offensive here, but damn, can we leave the playground "You guys are dorks!" out of our subculture of a subculture of extreme nerdiness.

Assembly programmers are probably more hip than we are.

you utterly misread the point of my post. Reading comprehension FTW

Reading comprehension doesn't enter into it, I think it's more a matter of poor writing and communication skills.  It's obvious now that you were simply trying to say "how can a launch be smooth if it hasn't launched yet", but If you're unable to understand the connotations of an analogy, you shouldn't use them until you're more adept at the English language.

I personally think you're just being obtuse instead of geniunely thick.  That's almost a compliment btw.

Well I'm in early access and you people can argue all you want about, is it launch or not, is it smoother than LOTRO or not, is it better than WAR or WoW.  Go ahead.  Argue all you want.

Won't stop be from having the best MMORPG experience I have had to date (on a RP -PvP Server that is). 
Story is great
pvp is great,
lots of guilds getting into RP.
The combat is fun.
Character customization (skill wise) is descent – not ground breaking in this area but no CRPG ever is.  
The game looks good, runs well even on Vista.
AND WE HAVE BOOBS, god be praised.  Can I get an amen, brother. 

I don't know about the rest of this game but the RP – PvP servers are going to be one hell of a good time.

We'll have to see, tomorrow will be a huge day in MMORPG history.

you techincally cannot say its the smoothest launch in 10 years because the launch hasn't happened yet. We'll know tomorrow.

Yeah, Ive heard and read alot of good things about the game. I am headed to get my copy first thing in the morning! :)

Well it's the first day of the OFFICIAL launch, and with the exception of a small delay bringing the servers up the game is running great. I stayed conected all day with no crashes or discos. I only ran into 1 quest bug and a guide answered my /petition and helped fix it.  I've been playing since Saturday and dinged 47 about noon. I had a hunch that gankers would be waiting on the new batch of players   so I went to Wild Lands of Zelata and stealthed around  and played the guardian angel for all the new players zoning in to start there quests. I killed 27 people trying to gank lowbies. Made my day

That's super cool.  :)

Lotro was a touch smoother at launch but that is because lotro dosn't have anything (j/k). After some hyped failures it is nice to see something that more or less meets the expectations.

Aoc isn't a revolution but it's a hell of alot of fun. My period of beeing mmo 'dry' is now over.
