Professional's and Experienced, that is what it says about its creators. Good show imo.

Looks like crap, I hate Japanamation games.

Here is what SoE (not Sony) did to make me have such hate towards them and any product they will ever produce. Yes, I assure you it is hate.

I will keep this simple and to the point. I payed and played a game for a couple years. I payed and played this game becuase I liked it at the time.  In all my 14 years of MMO gaming or any gaming for that matter, I have never seen a company take the core mechanics of a game and just totally redo them.  This made the game totally different and that is not what I payed to play.  I also felt that my investment of time was all flushed down the toliet due to not being able to play the horrid new style of game they introduced.

It would be no different then if I went out, bought a brand new porche, then about two years later they come take it away and leave me with a pinto in my driveway.  I would be confused and pissed off, so mad infact I would hate Porche and never buy another product from them in the future, as many have chose to do with SoE product's.

I was one of the lucky individuals that got a full reinburstment from SoE for the purchase of the game (multiple copies) I had 5 subs at the time. Also, I got back my 2 years of monthly payment's in full.

SoE didn't wake up over night and decide to make these huge changes.  They had this planned, they are a large corp who likes to make money.  Where they failed was to deliver proper communication  stating the direction of the game was going.  You cannot do this in the business world and get away with it.

Im sorry but I have to disagree with the OP, no game developer's, no matter how low the subscriptions drop would ever let SoE take over a game of thiers.  I speak truths.

Cancelled all three of my account's lastnight.  Going to give it a year to sort its issue's out and I will deffinently be back.

Hi all,

I don't post here much, too much anamosity for my likings.  I want to say this though, I played the day SWG launched, hell I even beta'd the product 6 month's before release.

I truely loved this mmo, I still have some emotions for it, what little was not stripped away after NGE.  I still have my active subscriptions that I log into from time to time.

Please stop trying to tell the masses here that the game is good.  It is far from good it is simply horrid to us veterans.  I full heartedly understand how new subscribers come to the game and like it...it's becuase they never tasted what the game was before the dreaded NGE. If they had then thier minds would be full of similar sour thoughts.

I logged into the game again lastnight played for a few hours and it is just terrible, hell I haven't cryed in about 11 years come to think of it.  Everytime it brings a slight tear to my eye, that is how bad it really is in fact.

These are simply my opinons and I don't plan to force them down anyone's throat, but I do think they should be heard.

I would pay more money than SoE could ever imagine if they would put a pre-cu server up.  I would take some of my millions to pay for this if they would just take the high road an say "we screwed up bigtime" and then just putup the damn pre-cu server.

On a lighter note this is not possible becuase  Bioware and Lucasarts will be announcing thier new SW MMO that they have been working on since the fallout with SoE. I have a friend that works at BIOWARE and I assure you we will be very happy in time.  Patience young grasshoppers.

OP, serious..... lol.

As I'm suren no one cares about your responce too.

Engrish?

here are my words of wisdom, get pizza pocket's and mountain dew, welcome to the club.

The best of course AMD.

I will try to be as unbiased as I can.

Age of Conan brings a much refreshing change to the MMO genre, it has many features that we miss and have been long sought for.   Personally it brings the old feel of Golden Axe meets Ultima Online with a splash of Dark Ages of Camelot , last but least a sprinkle of World of Warcraft.

My girlfriend and I are playing Tempest of Set - Conqueror combo respectively, our journey thus far has been super-calla-fraja-listic-expe-alla-doe-shiss! He said what!? It is, simply put... great!

Our journey started on the shores of Tortage.  It wasn't long after we made our way through the jungle to the city where we could finally meet up. 

The quest's felt very intuitive and had lot's of player interaction which made emersion A+.  I was asorbed into the world of Hyboria without a doubt.  I think my phone rang a hundred times and never heard it once.

Group interface is adequate and has some neat features: One that stood out most was the summon group members to you.  This is a great feature and I expect it to save much wasted time.

The items we were looting were standard and had great variety.  We all looked different which made the setting that much more epic. Also many versions of the same item but with different stats which made it feel Starwars Galaxies loot'ish. 

The combat system will take time to master but we had a great feel for it by the time we hit Tortage.

We finally met our friends, a Necromancer, a Ranger, and a Guardian. We grouped up and set out to White Sands Isle. We attempted it on Epic and did well till... I stress "till". Other players arrived on the Isle and promptly ganked us. 

We gathered our composure when we realized this is how it was gonna be.  We then strategically began to rape and pillage the area of all other players. We worked as a unit and believe the unit is strongest.  We follow this philosophy in all our MMO's and have done extremely well at the end of the day.

We continued to quest till our eyes were heavy and ended our evening in Tortage... I will keep you all posted as this is going to be my daily play journal.

No lag all night everything ran amazing fast, it was smooth overall. We have two brand new custom desinged and built PC's curtosey of moi! =)

Well, two days into the game and i already canceled my subscription. Was what I thought it would be. A $50 lesson to be sure. But it was only $50, no biggie. I still go in for 12 hours of overtime and make a extra $450 tonight.

I'll try to finish my month here and there in between other games I play. Maybe in a few months I'll reactivate it to see if I can find any renewed hope in it.

This was the shortest live MMO I have ever play. I have played almost every major MMO out there too.

Obligatory, can I have your stuff?

Lol, all the wow fanbois act like WoW launched with 8 million people. It took them 3 years to hit that mark, give AoC time and the fears will become a reality.

Great, downtime was just extended by another hour.

After the 1 1/2 day early access this is getting to be a bit much!

 

Patience young grasshopper.

I have three WoW Accounts and played since release.   I cancelled all of my account's which I left behind years of raiding work.  That is all I got to say.

After playing conan then looking at wow again it blows in comparison.  WoW seems like it is for candy ass faggots now that I see both side by side. 

I love AoC it feels like DAoC, UO, and SWG all in one it is just simply amazing.

What's one person doing with 3 (paying) subscription accounts ?

 

Oh I see it sounds heavier if you say 3 instead of one.

See you in WotLK.

Maybe he's actually telling the truth. Maybe take a leaf out of his book and come back.

Because his earlier posts, even up to a full year ago; he says exactly the same things...

 

....the problem is you can only leave a game once (with or without 3 subscriptions). :)))

The only difference from this post and a  year ago it was : ....Tabula Rasa he would be leaving for.

The next BIGGEST thing that would kill. Yep

I see ....what's  next? Warhammer, if he continues like that ...

... that would mean he already left 9(!) subscription behind.

Wow,.... :))

PRE-NGE I had 12 SWG subscriptions active and playing them all on one super computer.  I wouldn't dare to count all my subscriptions in total for every mmo, i'd puke.

Alright. If you like WoW, play WoW. If you like AoC, play AoC. If you like HKIA-O (Hello Kitty Island Adventures Online), play HKIA-O.

I don't understand why it matters if someone prefers another game than you do. I played WoW for year, peaked, got bored and quit. Went through all sorts of MMOs that are already out and didn't really get too involved with any of them, although EQ2 was pretty fun. AoC came around, I gave it a shot and now I call Hyboria home.

Does this make WoW players suck? Nope.

Does this make me better? Nope.

For everyone complaining about the issues, I'm going to try to give some FACTUAL information based on my experiences so that the people debating on trying the game will have something to go on.

Load times: Yes, you have a loading screen between any instances and going in/out of a building. On my computer, it's only a few seconds. I would assume on a lower end PC it could take 30sec-1min. If this will bother you, you may not be happy playing. If you can deal with it for the graphics, you should be okay.

Performance: You need a decent computer to run at low settings (which don't look too bad to me). Yes, you do need an uber computer, but only if you want the uber graphics settings. With shadows and AA off and the view distance turned down on low settings, you will be alright on a mid range machine.

Combat: Press a lot of buttons instead of spamming one or two over and over. It adds a level of skill, but nothing earth shattering. I enjoy it because I actually have to do a little more than I would in other MMOs. I always hated running instances in WoW on my hunter because on only ever had to push 2 or 3 buttons, got boring quick. With this system combined with shields you can't go in with a set rotation and it makes you pay attention.

All the bug/glitch/problem issues: It is a brand new game. I'd say they're doing good for a game this early in the game. We'll see what happens

PvP Camping: They've added a big damage shield that will pretty much one shot anyone who hits you while you're still loading.

Again. To each their own. If you still love WoW, go raid Kara/Gruuls/BT/TK or whatever you want to do and have fun. If you like AoC, I'll see you in Hyboria. If you're not sure, come give it a shot when buddy keys come back, hell I 'll hand out my 5 if you want. After you try it, if you like it, stay, if not, well good luck finding your spot.

If anyone has questions about AoC, I can try to help you out from what I've seen so far.

Well written
