Latest Blog Entry - Moving on from AoC, but will return......one day.
From my blog Gaming for your life [MaeEye]

I'm sure people are getting sick of hearing about people complain about Age of Conan; but honestly we were ripped.  So yesterday my girlfriend and I finally decided to cancel our subscription to AoC before the next pay period.

We decided (I know I know) to go back to World of Warcraft.  I mean, I just missed the art style that WoW had and the balance nature of the game.  We have only played it a year before moving on and I think it was too early.  Do understand though that WoW was not my first MMO, since I started in 1999.

 

So we are back in WoW now, getting ready to start anew and level some characters together.  It's alot more fun when you have someone else to play WoW with really, especially a girl.

 

Anyways, AoC basically was full of unpromised 'features.'  I'm sure one day i will return to AoC, when I know for a fact that everything has been implamented.  Hell I might give it a try on my 360 when it comes out.

 

So here we are, going back to the future again.  Too bad I can't get her into UO ;)

    • Is this about no tits anymore true?
    • Well I'm glad I quit the game when I did.  I'm sorry but I will not pay for a game that tells nothing but lies.  Now they take the mature themes out?  I thought the nudity was really going for the game.  You didn't really see people run around like mad like we thought.

       

      The game sucks.  And now they are changing their game. 

       

      The biggest failer a game could ever do, is change something after it has been released.

       

      This goes for anything.  If you tell people one thing then change it in the middle of performance, etc...your going to get alot of upset, irritated people.

       

      Funcom has failed and this game will follow.

    • Starting anew...
    • Well I've come back to WoW with open arms again, from Age of Conan. 

       

      Question is, my girlfriend and I are going to roll new characters and level together.  She's going to be a mage and I'm either wanting to roll a Warrior or a Paladin.  We tend to mainly do PvE contents, but like to do some BG's.  Never done arena, so not worried about it atm. 

       

      I want to be able to tank, that's for sure.  I want to tank good and have no problems.  So what would be best for me...Warrior or Paladin. 

       

      Thanks in advance

    • just cant subscribe to AoC

      AoC runs near flawlessly on my computer. i joined a motivated guild that is fun, smart, adult and helping.

      but... i just cant get myself to want to play and its been puzzling me as to why--especially considering the good community i was surrounded by. i didnt even play once during the last week of my free month.

      true there were, and still are, many things lacking at launch--broken feats, broken quests, unfullfilled promises. but i could overlook them (temporarily) and vaguely enjoy the basic gameplay while getting my HoX to 61. but that overwhelming sensation--that driving urge to play, to immerse yourself in a virtual world--is just lacking in AoC... 

      i think it comes down to the fact that AoC feels so much like Guild Wars--cramped and artificial; im constantly reminded of my lack of freedom. the world is so small and the instances divide any sense of commonality into a fractional,  near worthless sense of community. and more importantly, a bigger picture or common goal is nowhere in sight. i play on a PVP server but seriously the world pvp is so "meh" that the semi-implemented seiges even seem to direct most players to arena or quick-play pvp. i hate arenas and i hate BG's and i thought AoC would offer an alternative but its actually pushed me closer to what i hate... all this meanwhile my only alternative are the PVE instances which really seem to be extremely uninspired and bland.

      ok well i dont need to continue rambling and i honestly dont know i felt the need to post this. maybe its just my little warning to other gamers since its to them, us, you, that i feel loyalty towards.

       

      One of the best posts yet.  Seriously I was talking to my gf a bit ago while we were on a walk about the SAME things.  I thought for some reason I posted this and forgot about it, but I didn't.  Thanks for posting this, honestly.  At least now I don't feel alone.

       

      The world is just so boring in AoC for some reason.  I don't mean to compare it to other games, but games like Ultima Online and WoW just seem to have a better world that is so much more interesting.  I find it really hard to log into AoC anymore. 

       

      And to be totally honest, the only reason I do log on anymore is because of the mature content.  Not just nudity, but the blood and grittiness of the world as well.

       

      I agree 110% about the game feeling like Guild Wars.  I would have no problem with this game if it was free montly, but the fact that it feels like a Guild Wars 2.0, I don't understand why I have to pay $15 a month for this...sorry to say it, but it's true.

       

      Thanks again for this post.

      Age of Conan
    • Why Electronic Arts' Ultima Online Sucks?
    • The problem with games today is that they rely on graphics more and more, and gameplay less and less.  I mean, why do most games today revolve around fighting?  Why can't I just log on to chill in my house, or why can't I just log on to my crafter and craft all day.  Trust me, crafting in the new games is nothing like what crafting was like in UO.

       

      I don't see how anyone gave UO a bad review.  The game is hard to learn, yet, but it pays off.  In the end you get such a in depth game that everything else looks so shallow.

       

      UO players were spoiled.  We seriously were.  We were given a game that had so much going for it that everything else turns out to look like a bore-fest.

       

      Currently I'm in Age of Conan, while it's a nice change from the average MMO out there, I don't see it holding my attention for too much longer.  I think the best thing for me to do is either drop MMO's as a whole or just accept UO for what it is and go back to it.

       

      As sad as it sounds, even UO today is better than 3/4 of the games out in the market today.
