So you leave and the games screwed? Self important much?

Yeah when Rpers leave then its the end 

I personally NEVER understood why the only official RP servers were PvP servers....

Hail !! I shall hack thee to death!!  Prepare to die!!

I mean DAoC had RP servers that like any other server had frontiers and battle grounds... but they didn't make "The Dreds" the RP servers... 

An assassin appears from the shadows before you.  They inform you that they are about to one shot you...  *please wait for them to re stealth*

I would also admit I'm suprised that any "RP" guild actually survived on AoC's RP-PvP servers that long.  Or is it server after the mergers I dunno if there is more than one now.

now first off i don't like rp and d&d was one of the most sad guilds around but this shows that aoc is about to die when a die hard rper guild leaves the game

To be honest I don't see that as indicative of a game dying if a major role play guild leaves. All that shows me is that a game was not very condusive to what the role play community (or at least a portion of it) wanted.

Op,

If you are going to post something said elsewhere, then provide a link or atleast print the source.  Geesh!!!!!

eh? Because one guild leaves doesnt mean that a game is dying.

 

IMHO i think AoC is about to take off with the imminent release of 1.05 and with how smooth the game runs now, there is a trial and an expansion in the works as well.

You know, people said the same thing about the 'big' pvp patch last September.  All summer, all the fans ever talked about was how awesome the pvp system would make the game.  Guess what, it came and went and barely impacted the 'fun' level of the game.  Players continued to quit just as fast as they did before the 'big' pvp patch.

1.05 is going to be the same thing.   Who cares if stats are now going to be more meaningful (and the game is wowized) if the same crappy dungeons and same crappy gameplay is the only way to get that gear.  Yeah, they are changing gear and stats, but the amount of actual new content is very small compared to real MMORPGs that have actual content patches.

To the OP:   When a developer uses 'nudity' as one of the biggest reasons to play a game, then odds are it won't go out of it's way to facilitate RP... they just were not shooting for that type of crowd.

I think you have it backwards, The game is screwed so everyone left.

 I guess that means SWG died when all those guilds left to go play WOW when it released, wait it died when all those guilds left due to the CU. No it died when all those guilds left due to the NGE... oh wait...

Anyway a single guild leaving no matter how large really won't have a lasting affect on a game, even when it's multiple large guilds leaving. It sucks that it has to happen but it's also unavoidable. You can only play a single game for so long, especially when the mechanics/enforcement don't necassarily match your playstyle.

I quit AoC recently, but only because pvp wasnt hardcore enough to me and i hate their combat system. But this game is otherwise fantastic. I bet any money it will never die, its just too good.

One guild is leaving one server... so what, other servers remain unaffected.

AoC ftw, i wish best luck to this promising and man, so good looking game.

I am proud to say that I have led one of the most successful role-playing guilds on Age of Conan for 15 months. We always maintained our standards, our member base and whenever we were interested in pursuing something (

wow what an achievment.

Maybe he's role-playing being someone who could potentially make a game fail by withdrawing his support.

Role play on Wiccana server, Cimmeria should have the RP removed as any new players that go there wil experience the overwhelming stupidity that is the Cimmeria server.

Doesn't matter if some of D&D leave, there is plenty of RP events going on. The reasons why some of them are going is fair.

At the end of the day, for those really into RP, you will find a lot of things going on in Cimmeria besides. Just like it always has been.

Whether guild only RP or open invitational events. Thats why there is the Calendar feature ;)

Just another "Im trying to figure out if leaving was the right thing" thread.

Play or stfu. Why are you so eager to pass out death and judgement?

Its foolish, and childish.

Starting a thread to discuss why you left and also to note other large groups of players leaving is called a "discussion".

I'd suggest a simple refresher course in remedial English to go with that "Masters in economics" you claim to have so such a misunderstanding doesn't occur again.

Im actually making a point against the validity of the discussion, which in itself is a discussion. So in fact, by stating that im not accepting the discussion as being such, is actually an oxymoron, thus invalid, since I am in fact discussing the matter at hand.

I suggest you take some basic courses in logic, you know, first year philosophical stuff.

I never disputed your recognition of the discussion. I merely pointed out your obvious lack of understanding of what a discussion is based solely on your given response to the OPs thread.
 

Also, telling the OP to "play or stfu" is even more illogical since if you are here telling him to "play or stfu", then you are obviously not following the advice you are suggesting, therefore making your own advice invalid through the principal of non-practice. For if you were playing, you wouldn't be here to give the advice, and if you were stfu, you wouldn't be giving the advice even if you were here. Quite the paradox you've started actually.

Under my own doctrine of thought, I have nothing else to do but agree.

There is nothing like getting out of paradoxes!

 

I'm amazed.
Just how anyone managed to RP in AoC is beyond me. RE Howard's Conan stories revolved around a single barbarian, Conan, yes there were some minor characters in the stories, but most of these died at Conan's hand....and at any rate the characters were never fleshed out.
 

How this RP guild could relate, or even find any RP activities in the bare-bones MMO that is AoC amazes me even more.

The lands and cities of Hyboria did receive some general descriptions, such as Zamora-City of Thieves, but afaik there's no way an AoC RP'r could actually steal something in the game....indeed you can't create a Zamoran class anyway.
Perhaps there was scope to play a Stygian Wizard, typically they got up to the nefarious deeds of usurping, kidnapping and sacrficing nubile princesses are the order of the day. Again I can't see such activities being possible in the simplistic AoC game rules.

As for PvP being an RP activity, I'd refute that, again the main character in the Conan stories, Conan, would only fight when he was under threat, he never went out of his way looking for a fight. ie- no ganking.

I'd have loved to have found an RP possibility in AoC, a barbarian like Conan, wandering the land looking for fame and fortune....but even that is impossible in AoC, wander for 5 minutes and you'll be zoning miles across Hyboria ina single leap. Fame...not possible in AoC unless you spam the global chat every 5 minutes to get yourself noticed. Fortune, alas I've never stumbled of a long hidded tower deep in mountains ripe for dangerous looting.

I'll just carry on harvesting I suppose, kill Vistrix every now and again and hope for a Light Armour drop.

Congratulations OP....You done well.

 It took you 15 months to figure out this game isn't worth paying for?

Only took me 30 days.  Just sayin'.
