I usually keep an eye out here incase the scale starts tipping and the game goes from majority hated to majority thinking it's getting better...

 

The few posts I've been threw today seam to suggest the changes brought to the game seam to be giving it life ...

 

Is it possible that they are crawling out of there slump?

Someone mentioned Pvp points ... points to purchase pvp gear I can assume ? And seige in place .. interesting...

It's slowly moving forward due to having a new game director ( who listens) in place. Whether the game has the staying power to allow time for massive improvements is another issue all together. I'd say, wait until after the first of the year before giving much thought in resubscribing.

Some people are like slinkies, they dont really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

ehh, I dunno if I'd come back or not, might be a bit too late for me, if they get above 1 million, or 2 million I'd definiately come back in a second. But it seems like this game is declining, probably gonna say, oh, this game will have at most, 200k subscribers when it hits Xbox360. Yup....

Why would they need 1~2 million players to grab your attention again? Since you'll only be playing with a tiny fraction of those 2 million subscribers.

Correct you are donjn.  I also had a similar feeling when people started cheering about the new game director and somehow Conan was just a few days away from complete turn around.  It is far to early to call this game moving forward just because yet another dev made yet another post with just some more promises.

 

The game doesn't need millions of people playing it just to be worth trying, but it does need a significant amount of actual updates instead of promises.

If they pump AoC full of content within the next few months, Ill think about it. I knew I likely would only play it until WAR came out and I had a craving for Guild Wars again. But I will wait 2-3 months and see what there have happent.
