Age of Conan

Bit of a break for some weeks now (two weeks past, and one more to come) due to work and family visit (aka "vacation" - yeah, right), but still playing. By the end of August I'll see whether I go in for any long-time commitment to the game, my main conern being the speed at which Funcom will add content of different kinds.

Im playing it and i like it

Yeah still playing.

I think a lot of it depends on two factors:

1) whether you're a casual MMO player or a "hardcore" MMO player; and

2) how important it is to you to have a world that's not high fantasy to adventure in.

I tick both those boxes - i.e. I'm a casual player, I don't have 12 hours a day to play, and I don't have the time to commit to a Guild.  I also love the game world of AoC, I'm sick of high fantasy, of fricken elves and dwarves and all that whole type of mythology.  At the same time, having been a CoH addict for 3 years, I'm used to instancing, and the concept of there being no "high end content" and not much crafting doesn't faze me.  All I'm interested in is a game that has a good combat feel, that I can log on and play for an hour or two and maybe team up with some people and have a laugh.

So because AoC is a fun game within those criteria, I keep playing.  Stuff like high end content is irrelevant to me.  The bugs are barely noticeable for me, the game plays very smoothly on my comp and the combat has a visceral feel that I enjoy, and it's set in a non-high fantasy game world that's like a breath of fresh air to me, and highly immersive.

hell no, it was a waste of two months and the money it cost.  Only good that came out of it is the new machine i built for it, it should be great for WAR and is wonderful now for DAoC.

we shall see, but right now ; the 7 year old DAoC runs circles around AoC.

No. AoC was like a model with inplants. Fun to look at but mostly fake

I am still playing (since my son and I are just getting into the meat of the game, lvl 35 atm).

But this is from a thread in my guild forum.

First..... the guild leader on 7/18 started it.

"I Canceled both of my accounts.   They dry up on 7/21/08.   Didn't really want to pay for another month of it when reality is I don't know how much I well even be spending in it.   

Combine that with shit patches that fucked up my necro build every week due to the weekly Necro Class changes.   If Funcom pulls thier head out of thier ass with how they are treating thier community and straighten a few things out then I will reup.    I still have some faith that the game can be "All-That" for pvp I just don't feel like paying for it till its there." - W

Which of course started an avalanche in just a few hours.

"Agreed...not that I was heavily into it as some. I cancelled a couple of days ago too." - DJ

Did i not say this game would fail? my server went from being too full (queue) to dead in less than a month. GG Funcom and all these gimps

Quit a few days ago.

Not letting those incompetent, useless, nerf-heavy patchers get anymore of my hard earned cash.  Those idiots can't fix major technical issues that have been around for months now.

I am still playing and plan to stay for quite a while, may quit when WAR is released(but will wait a few months after war comes out to see the response). ATM I am very much enjoying myself, and today's update actually had some good fixes/additions for the first time.

Considering the game's been out for a few months already, and this patch is the first in ages that is actually USEFUL and not dreaded... it is a telling example of the quality of patches coming out for AoC.

I really wanted to love this game, jumped alot of hoops to get and play it on opening day.  What a disappointment.

 

erm.. games been out for less then 2 months. Though yesterdays patch did help the game quite a lot.

The game was released on the 20th of May and early start began on May 17th. It's July 19th today. For all intents and purposes, the game has been out for 2 months. As for the latest patch, I'm not sure about how helpful it was. Invisible people, chain stuns and knockbacks, etc.
