As far as I know they have shareholder's so it would serve no point it saying the game is doing better than it is,everyone wants to be paid remember..

Ohh man dont say that,well at least I have the e-mail they sent me to fall back on now,more than I had at the start of the weekend.

Well as the title says I have been 1 annoyed MMo player for the last 4 days,after phone call after phone call and so many e-mails to the company I pre-ordered AoC from.

It was all rosey a couple of months ago when I pre-ordered with the rhino mount and early access but last weekend it went sour,I asked when I would get the code and was told it wouldnt be sent till they were ready to send me the game....ehhh?so ofc no early access..

This went on for 4 days now with e-mails and phone calls everyday,until this afternoon when I got an e-mail saying they would send me the codes before the 16th of May and hopefully this solved my problem..you bet it does!

We are a fickle bunch us MMo player's but you dont want to get on our bad side when it involves early access.

 What is this crap!  I registered my pre-order number and they want 5$ to let me in early(17th) . 

It has been said many times m8 that you have to pay $5 to d/l the client for early access.

Yep there seems to be alot of companies dropping the ball on this.

I pre-ordered months ago with bol.com(dutch company)they had the rhino mount and the(then)3day headstart,which is now 6 day heastart in europe,at the weekend sent an e-mail asking when the codes would be sent so I could d/l the client in plenty of time,I just recieved an email this morning saying"your code will be sent just before your game is shipped I hope that answer's your question"

Well no it bloody doesnt,it seem's I wont be getting the headstart they promised if they are only going to send the email just before they ship the game,guess its the 23rd for me then.

I dis-agree to a certain extent that pre-order's mean nothing,every pre-order is a potiental sub,this game like any other wont be for everyone but the more people that do try it there is a chance of more subs.

The problem with AoC is it faces 2 barriers,1.ppl dont like the game,2.there pc doesnt like the game,so they will lose a few subs to both these points.

I agree we will have to see where the game lie's in say 6 months but anyone that thought this game was going to be some sort of WoW killer etc has alway's had there head in the clouds,the age requirement,the need to have a decnt rig and the newer combat system will displease some and keep the subs down anyway,to the one's like me that pass the 3 points I made will be in for alot of fun!

Card is fine.  Some people ran it on Geforce 7 cards.  It's the combo of OS and RAM that is the question.  If you have a 32 Bit OS, you need 2GB.  If you have a 64 Bit OS, which it looks like you do, you need 4GB.

 

From the looks of it, you will be OK.

post count +1,thats the only thing you did with this post,did you even read the op? he is running vista 32 but unlike you said he should get 4gb Ram and not 2gb also have you even checked the benchmarks for the 8500 card or are you just guessing as it seems to me you are.

Processor should be fine m8 at or around medium,graphic card is the thing that will hold you back a bit,all in all you should run the game fine maybe just some tweaking.

Edit- grab yourself another 1gb+of Ram also.

Can only see the 1st pic m8,not sure if there is a fault with it on your end,or is just me?

Yep will also call BS on the OP.

If you need a trail then just bother someone for a buddy pass when the game is live no need to start a pointless poll on the subject,Also you really contradicted yourself so many time's in your OP that it did make me smile so thanks for that.

is there a chance the other games are on cd's and not dvd's?

m8 you have to give more info,tbh running sli you will only see real improvement with a 24"screen for higher res,also you could do better using your cash on other system specs and going single card like the 8800gt or 8800gts.more is not always better.

I have said this a few times and will say it again,If you struggle to run this game or even if you are on low settings I would worry how it will handle in the higher levels come siege combat etc,It is ok to say "yep I run at low settings with so and so system" but I would wager that come the higher end content you will be running a slide show.

press your"start"on the bottom left of your screen,you will see a search there,in that box type "dxdiag"and you will get all the info you need :)

or at least a high 7 series video card. I run AoC on medium setting with e6600 duo core CPU (2.4 gig), 2 gig ram, and an ati radeon 2600XT video card.

There is no point in the op buying a new card,it is a waste of money,you are running duo core machine he is not also the money he spends on a new card even if it is a 7 series wont help him in the slightest,best he put that money to a new system.

Ok to be honest you have no chance,I am sorry to be so harsh but your system wont be running AoC at anything decent if at all,there comes a time when the only option is a new system and unfortunatly you have reached that point.

Also the card you are using plz would also help.Although I have a funny feeling it will be an on board card.

You have to post better than that m8,what kind of card(even though 256mb is cutting on the low side anyway)

dont be lazy when asking for help post your full specs so ppl can help you.

sorry mis-read but again you are still giving info on a system you know nothing about,why more RAM if the owner is using XP?and again why is that card the best for that system?you dont know anywhere near enough info to advise what you did that is just costing someone money.

you can use 3.25 gb of ram in xp...so he can still have 4gb...but not all of it will be used...

 

 

i didnt say it is the best card for his system...i said its one of the best cards out atm

I quote

2) get a 3870x2 its the best card you will get :p one of the best in the market.

doesnt help the op at all except to spend his/her money.

OP if you can post as much info about your system as you can plz.

sorry I am mis-reading somewhere but again you are still giving info on a system you know nothing about,why more RAM if the owner is using XP?and again why is that card the best for that system?you dont know anywhere near enough info to advise what you did that is just costing someone money.
