Guy lists 14 reasons for why he tinks AoC is the best MMO out there and he has tried a lot of them quote: 

"I have played the following major MMOs since 1999:
Everquest, Everquest2, Shadowbane, World War 2 Online, Planetside, Dark Age of Camelot, World of Warcraft, Asherons Call, Lord of the Rings Online, Anarchy Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Warhammer Online."

 

 

Thats atleast 1 happy veteran MMO player in AoC.
(PS: Looking forward to beeing flamed by Finaticid and Blackwell. :-D)

Playing: Not anymore. Just lurking.

Best MMO out there you have got to be joking me. Its an average one at best, and with its tiny instanced world the words AoC and MMO dont really go together.

I see mmporg.com have just done a article on main page of top 10 mmo's brought out since the release of wow. Its no suprise that AoC or War do not figure anywhere in that list. Reason being 99% of MMO vets know AoC is a shallow tedious broken game with no core element.

If you like AoC fair enough. .. . .but try make your posts realistic.

In theory practise and theory are the same but in practise they''re not.

He is right about those 14 points BUT I am an AoC player as well and i can admit there is just as easy to list 14 points of  "what should AoC improve". 

For me the main downside is the lack of ideology and conflict in AoC. stygian necro's in Mitra temples and so on are ruining the feel of the game. perhaps if AoC started a Mitran crusade against stygia and disallowed stygians to walk openly all over hyboria the game would be more "immersing" in the social aspect.
 

Playing: Nothing
Waiting for: AoC & Tabula Rasa

I'm not flaming anybody. 

...but enjoy watching the OP get ripped-to-pieces, by the legions of unsatisfied players in his own thread. Its already started.

A lot of his points are flat out wrong...or just a matter of opinion. (Like the great community-lol).

 

If i was to flame you, it would be over the fact that you should be able to insert a Link into the text of these forums by now.

If you 10 years old club penguin is a good game. Vanguard suffered with an AoC style launch and is paying the price. Although imo it offers more depth in gaming experience than AoC will ever do.

No my experience in calling AoC a bad game is playing for a few months praying that it was going to get better....then realising that the core game is utter crap. Same as 90% of the player base, who came to the same conclusion as me.

But like I always say if you enjoy the game, good luck to you. Personally I prefer something a bit deeper in a mmo, than large breasted women working your way down a enclosed instanced rail track....boring broken sieges.....no economy due to the poorest crafting ever introduced in an mmo.....irrelavant stats....and a game that is the laughing stock of every game forum and an architype on how not to produce an MMO. But thats just my view. I'm sure yours differs.

I actually enjoyed VinUnleaded's post quite a bit. I really agreed with him regarding graphics, lore, music, and server types. I lol when at the end he complained about Necros (yes they are OP).

Just kind of curious what that deep mmo that you are playing is...I havent played a deep mmo since pre NGE SWG..everything since is the same old shallow WoW trash..so out of interest what is his holy grail of MMos thats better than AoC ?

Well if they are opinions then they are not wrong. If Age of Conan was for a fact, a horrible MMO then no one would be playing it.

I agree with everything he says except servers stable, which is not Funcom's fault, their IP is/was really bad. 

And yes, there are lots to improve, but which MMO does not?

Personally I couldn't get out of the 14 day free trial...it just wasn't "doing" it for  me.

I just started up on the free trial of DAoC cause I'm bored sh!tless of everything that's out there and figured...why not.

...and even that's not holding my interest.
