vista32 2gb ram Core2quad 2.4, 8800 GTX here 2 weeks ago I was playing with 50+ fps, which was actually not needed even, cause this is not a FPS where you need that high reaction time. Since last patch I can play with 10~ fps. If I play with 2 other casters and we start AoE, we all crush to log in screen. We were told to talk with our ISP... with 1 playing from Sweden, other from Moscow, last from Turkey. I cannot even understand how they dare to blame our ISPs. With the stupid idea of `if you damage a mob more, you get the loot`, it became impossible for low levels to kill the bosses for their quests. Level 80s outdamage poor guys and get the kill so often. This became such a serious problem as most of the few quests available are meant to kill someone/something, which is camped because it drops good loot which can be sold. (Boss items were supposed to be `not tradable`, so high levels cannot farm and sell them at trader) |

This chart as insignificant as the AoC player base on this website wwant it to be , is a good reflection of the current player choice. this is mmorpg.com , this biggest website dedicated to mmorpgs , yet somehow they got it wrong , according to the AoC community... |

Some people forget how bad most mmos suck their first few weeks. Aoc is doing fine, it will get better, it might get worse but some of you seem like " the glass is empty types" lol |

Yes lots of MMOs suck at first but AOC has gone one leap further then just sucking. |

Yet...people continue to play. I left as well, but it was not because the "game" sucked, but the fact Funcom is a screw up. Until I see progress on their part for fixing the mess they made, I decided to put my time elsewhere. But, I did a write up on the actual players, and their time in game...here Based on server counts, and overall play time in Xfire (just for trending methods), the actual player counts are still good, and people are still playing. Now, with the changes to their testing methods for patches (new test server) and a commitment to better notes for patches, and to finally bring in the promised goodies, who knows where this will go. All I know is AoC is definitely more fun than LOTRO, EQ2, Vanguard or Tabula Rasa. And if anything...THOSE games needed people. I think they are playing AoC instead. |

I am willing to go back, but Funcom needs to show me that there is a reason to play at 80.. and I am not talking about NPC raids either, had enough of that in WOW. I want to see sieges working with acceptable FPS. |

Flawless? On release LOTRO experienced the following... An exploit was found in the first 24 hours of release in the AH Floating NPC's (including the infamous hopping Hobbit in Bree) existed for well over a month after launch Certain quests could not be completed due to the NPC not speaking to you, etc HUGE memory leak in the Hi-Res textures that went on for close to 6 months The infamous sound delay in the Barrows (the main instance) and the overall area had an issue where music would completely stop, and not play again until you either logged, and in the instance you had to turn sound off, as the delay was close to 2 seconds between a hit and the actual sound. Characters would be frozen in place after a Fellowship Maneuver (1 or 2) All resource icons were a dull green, and certain resources all had the same icons ))))))))))))))))
I could go on. But, for those who believe LOTRO was the end all be all of perfect release...the only game with that honor is DAoC (who had one...yes, just ONE bug on release) Cheers |

If LoTR it is such a great game why are you guys here 24/7? Most the players enjoying AoC don't even know this site exists, and the sales & subscription numbers clearly speak for themselves. |

Only one problem, there are no subscription numbers. Sales numbers show they have sold about 700k boxes (so about 700k people signed up for the first 30 days) but that is no indication of subscriptions because you have to figure in all those who canceled during or at the end of the free 30 days. There are 3 types of people in the world.
