Funcom have indeed thrwon up a turd in AoC, but to play a Hyborian character named Kylie sums it up. Not only Funcom is to blame for this debacle.

For the short, initial subscription time I played AoC I loved it, then I noticed characters called....Kiera, Angelina and yes, Arnold running around.

Why do people do that?

Why do you play yhe role of 'Kylie' when such a name is totally opposed to the scheme of things?

Do you think you are clever? Or just do it to piss off the RP players?

 

I RP friend and i have to say that RP has nothing to do with your name! i can understand names like Leetcollector and such but really Kylie, arnold and such are valid names, ok they might not be perfect for the conan universe, other than arnold ( i think thats a very conan name ) it's more how they ply thier character than how they name them friend!

I don't see what you guys are smoking.  AoC is badass imo.  I loved it because the fighting is actually progressing rather then going WoW style.   Sadly I cannot afford the 50$ game righ tnow as i gotta wait till the price drops then i'll buy it.

But if someone wants to give me a 7 day buddy key that would be badass tb_nicholas@hotmail.com :D.

You don't even have the game yet?  Then you probably don't know that after level 80, the game drops away into a boring, depressing void.  I enjoyed the game until recently.  I would even join groups to do some of the instances that are already in place.  But the players just aren't there.  Even daily quests to help make money would be something.  Especially as the economy is also depressing.  And with fewer people paying, I wonder if crafters will have trouble finding advanced guilds that are needed to make the final level items.  My guild has been stuck at tier 3 since so many have quit and there are too few players to recruit new ones.

The villas are your daily quests to make money. You can still do them at 80 right? There are also raids, seiging, guild cities, crafting, world pvp & pvp minigames (soon with rewards).

I've logged around 250 hours since prelaunch with 2 alts in the 20s and one main in the 70s. If people have maxed out their chars and cities then that's their loss. Time to wait for the content to catch up, as with every other single MMO out there.

As for the buddy keys, it is a bit cheeky expecting people to pay for the download although it is around 20GB. Someone has to pay for that bandwidth and I'd rather it was a trial player than coming out of my subs

I would try the game with a Buddy Key or when a free trial is released but I had decided long ago to wait on trying this game till then because it was not one that I was really looking for. It did sound like a fun game but sorry to hear that it has such big problems. Don't expect to get a buddy key since my friends either don't play MMOs much any more or only play their old ones that they are happy with.

I wouldn't tell anyone not to get the game because I think it can be fun.  I would only suggest you take your time getting to level 80. 

I have no sympathy for those who rush to top lvl. MMOs usually improve with time so I have 7 characters all chugging along enjoying the game - which will get better every patch/upgrade.

  So can anyone send me a  Buddy Key? I'd love to try this out for a few days. It can't be that bad, can it?

Thanks,  ZZ
