• • The most antisocial MMO I've ever played.

  • The great thing about this game is that the whole LFG thing had been made redundant, because the moment you join in a PQ or scenario, you are automatically grouped with the other people doing it. I'm sure a lot of people playing this game and indeed those posting here have failed to grasp this concept. It is very familiar to those of us who have been playing FPS online games for years though.

    As for chat, I'm in a guild and we are chatting to each other the whole time but I rarely find the need to chat to other party members when doing a PQ or scenario. The design of the game just makes it so easy to get involved that there really is no need.

    The greatest thing of all, is that I have not seen a single gold selling spam in the chat channel yet.  Grats to Mythic for designing a game from the ground up that makes it virtually impossible for gold sellers to work efficiently.

    I know what Xfire is, and I don't have it...but are these threads some kind of code you give to another or something? 

    How can something only a portion of the playerbase have realistically gauge a game's popularity? Seriously...

     

    In the same way that opinion polls don't have to interview the entire population to get a fairly accurate snapshot of what they think or intend to do.   X-Fire is used by a huge number of the online  gameplaying public and usage patterns can give a good indication of  what games are currently popular,

    However, games tend to score highly in the first month of release, AoC was right at the top a few months ago but has slipped away now , so I'd agree, you can't really use it to make long term projections.

• • "Lvl 80 in 5 Days" Guide

  • Are there really people stupid enough to pay for information they can get for nothing just by reading the official forums?

    I notice the "five days" is game time, so that's actually about 100 gaming hours, or a month or so if someone plays for 4 hours a day. If all you're interested in is getting to level 80, well yeah I guess in 4 hours a day for a month you can  concentrate on yellow quests  until you reach level 50 or so and then just do all the repeatable "villa" quests a couple of times a day until level 80.

    That's not my idea of fun but if fast levelling is all you're interested in, that ought to do the trick and this information comes from me for free.
