1) no you have to group further into the game
2) yeah leveling 2 weapons and all your gear skills is quick, you have that done about half way through the pve quest content, filling the entire wheel and what have you takes much longer 3) err no, there's all sorts of clothing options, and a huge variety of builds. Everyone is the same shape though, but I guess that's the price you pay for good performance with crowds as opposed to say swtor 4) combat is better than normal mmo combat. It's not as good as gw2 (although its similar) or planetside though. Aoc melee was better, but ranged in Aoc was just normal mmo combat 5) yeah I think how bad Aoc was did them for the sales of tsw, also swtor bring the prior example of a "story mmo" |

When it comes to books and movies I think fantasy and horror/conspiracy are pretty much even.
When it comes to video games I think fantasy has much more of an appeal. Specially when it comes to the RPG. |

I can't speak for the reason why TSW failed to reach a broad audience, but I'll tell you the reason I never bought it: Funcom released it. Funcom burned me once on AoC, releasing a very polished 1-20 experience... and then not even bothering to finish the game after that point.
Why would I buy any other product from this company? |

..." Anarchy Online and our teams are committed to keeping to a schedule. We will continue to support our games on an ongoing basis.” The graphics update for AO was first announced in 2006. What kind of schedule is that ??? I still don't believe that AO will ever see an update to thier graphics.

That's like saying you refuse to buy Oreos because you hate Triscuits since they're both under Nabisco. Sorry, thats dumb imo. |

I absolutely love TSW. I bought it on the same day I started playing GW2. And, for me, I can honestly say TSW gets more hours.
I'm an older player. I come from the Ultima and EQ1 mold. Playing back then and figuring out quests and crafting before there were even guides to look up on the web. So when it comes to some of the missions in TSW, I can appreciate having to actually research to figure something out on my own. I know they wanted more players, but I sincerely hope they don't change what make it so unique. A lot gets said about its limited number of abilities as far as action bar is concerned. To me that's what makes it fun, it's like a deck of cards and you have to figure out the best hand to play given a certain situation and depending on what build you are going for. I love the eerie settings and the music is fantastic. It's like X-Files, Men in Black, Dan Brown novels, and Walking Dead all rolled into one. But since I actually like it, with my luck, that means it'll prolly tank and go off life support. |

I have a very hard time believing the statement that every single employee they laid off showed up to work for free the next day. I think that's an outright lie.
RELAX!@!! BREATHE!!! |

I was really psyched for this game as I love the whole conspiracy/Lovecraft theme, but the combat system/animations just killed it for me. I tried getting past it a couple of times in beta, but just could not.

Why do people decide on games during beta? TSW now is light years beyond even the last "open beta event" they had.
Judge a game on how it is now with a free trial.. not how it was during a beta or based on another game created 5 years ago. |

I think the game is good, not great just good. I remember reading somewhere why some people think it has had problems out of the gate is timing of other more popular games coming out, hardware specfics compared to other games and keeping power of it's current player base. I know my cabal (guild) has lost 1/3 of it population because they live in parts of the world where thier internet speed (Required 512 KBPS or faster Internet Connection as posted on thier website) won't let them advance to nightmare dungeons. I have played MANY mmo's and I have never seen a encounter where people can't get past it because of a 2 second delay in thier ping/lag. Just my thoughts and I hope Funcom does something to combat that, lol and i know most of the people who left will come back because they have the lifetime subsctiption..LOL..

This is a great game that most people would love if they took the time to get into it. Dont listen to the whiners and "know it all" people that just want you to play the "right game" that they approve of. This is currently the best mmo that you can play right now. |

I had a great time with my 30 days free and 1 month sub, but I just got tired of haveing to fight every 5 steps, if it wasn't Zombies it was Fanatics or something else. The Secret World was not too secret, everyone in London, Soul and NY new about it and were talking about it in the street and lets not forget the bank where everyone proudly displays their weapons and magic, so much for being secret.

Originally posted by nycplayboy78 It's really pitiful to see these kind of posts from people who just can't get rid of all that hatred. And all because a videogame (lol yes, a videogame) failed to meet their expectations. |

Originally posted by Dreskest If I had an Iphone and it didn't really work / hard to use / whatever, it is perfectly reasonable for someone to not buy Apple products from then on. That doesn't mean you personally have to, just that acknowledge that someone might. Wonder why there seems to be more haters on the internet? Read this by an actual marketing guy to find out why. |

Originally posted by Dakirn Often beta is the only chance some people get to see the game.....Even if it has made great strides, the beta impression is what most of us are going to go by.....A 3 day trial is about as short as it gets by the way.....Most MMOs offer anywhere from 7-30 days, depending on the game. |
