Personally, I wont play AoC. I am not currently playing  an MMO, and have to say it has been a breath of fresh air. Before I get the you should try a game before you judge it, why should I pay 50 bucks just to try a game I have little intrest in to begin with. No buddy keys because none of my friends will be playing either. Downloaded the "open beta" and didn't care for the content, and if you don't care for a game in the first handful of lvls you're not likely to give it enough attention to reach higher lvls where many of you assure people it will get better. It shouldn't get better it should catch my attention in the first few lvls or before I even open the box. No, I am not bashing the game, the people here who enjoy it should be playing instead of posting in these forums. Remember many of you spent 80 bucks on it, so why aren't you playing it?

As we PLAY MMORPGS...and we discuss MMORPGS.

What is your excuse?

We at least come to the MMORPG forums to discuss MMORPGS...that we are PLAYING..

To keep up on games that might interest me, if you actually read the beginning of my reply I said " I am not currently playing an MMO" meaning I play MMORPG's but currently have no dedicated time toward one you shouldn't have started this thread if you didn't want just any members replying to it. All I'm saying is for it to be release day there are alot of people here posting rather than playing a new game ( considering that it was released in the middle of a drought of good MMO's ) just find it strange is all.

Uhm... i myself have decicded to pick up the rise of kurnak boxed set instead..

i took the option im staying in mine, but it should be leaving wow for eq2

c yall in game :D

no.

My computer is more than a year and a half old, so I can't play AoC. :(

I guess I'll have to stick with WoW. It's really not THAT bad.

I think comparing AOC to any established MMO is kinda silly.  Of course WOW and EQ2 are better games.  They've been out for years.  They each have at least one full expansion.  They're no where near the same game they were at the release.  At release, I found both games to be boring.  I played beta for both and never made it past a month.  I got them both when they came out, again after a month my interest died.  I did try them both last year and played them quite a bit because they adapted their games to make them more appealing.  So if a person doesn't think that AOC offers anything new, they have a valid opinion.  AOC lacks a lot of quality of life features and content that other MMO's have been able to install over their lifetimes.

That said, I think AOC has a lot of potential.  It seems to have potential to be a better game than WOW or EQ2 does down the road.  I had zero interest in this game all through development.  My interest was only grabbed the week before open beta and I've been hooked since.  MMO growth, however, depends more on post development that what happens at release.  It can go up or down from here.  My big concern is the developers seem like a bunch of monkeys who like to program with a sledge hammer.  They make odd decisions and odd policy moves.  Completely locking the forums is the worst decision ever.  That's like free advertising.  I have the game and even I can't gain access to the forums anymore.  My friend is a forum mod, and he doesn't even know what's up with my account. Now I'm subject to CS.  Apparently I'm not alone in this...They just seem to make bad decisions not realizing that americans(which currently  is their major consumer) see their moves as clownish.  Well, I hope all works out for the best...Or at least the game lasts till Champions-Online comes out. 

Conan doesn't even have an auction house.

One of the best designed parts of Wow BTW (the game that so called copied everything and is only being played by so called inferior easy mode players.).

But at least we see now that more than half of MMORPG.COM plays WOW.

62.2% do indeed.

And yet again, AoC does have an auction house. It'll best serve you to not show how clearly uninformed you are on multiple threads as well.
