the point still stands.. that screenshot is terrible and is more of an actual candid 'gameplay' screenshot that shows actually what the game looks like When people post the 'beautiful screenshots' its usually when they aren't really playing, and just bump up the graphic settings in order to get a nice screenshot. If you are an ex-wow player and want to come back. Scroll of Rez gives 7 free days, boost a character to 80 a realm and faction change. Send me PM for an invite. Only 1 per day available |

Everyone I know takes screens on the fly as they usually take them seeing something worthwile to capture. Because AoC is more optimized "some" of these people I play with can crank the machine up a few notches than a few months ago. It might look like a an actual screenshot to you if you have a not so great machine too.

The game is a ton more stable than at launch, they fixed alot of things and we are getting more content plus an expansion coming so AOC is actually fun now. |

BECAUSE ITS THE BEST GAME IN THE MARKET, EVERYTHING IS WORKING AND THE ONLY PROBLEMS AT THE MOMENT ARE CLASS BALANCE. IF YOU QUIT BECAUSE YOU HAD TO GRIND VILLAS AND THOUGHT IT LACKED CONTENT, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND REINSTALL! AOC IS THE SHIT! |

From www.actiontrip.com:
AoC had a four month headstart on Warhammer, so its sales numbers appear to be right where they should be logically. The question is: Just how far ahead are they of Warhammer, and can they fix AoC up faster than Mythic can fix Warhammer? |

I think FC are content not to rush anymore like they did in getting the game out. I reckon it is more of Quality and proper upgrades and fixes. The last few patches have been excellent, and this one coming through is going to be the best yet! Things are progressing at a steady pace, it will only get quicker now some major things are out the way. Ones in green are the ones I brought in 2008 off that list.

So many people are coming back for a second round of Age of Conan because we didn't quit because of the gameplay. |

Agreed. After launch, it really felt like they were in panic mode, trying to throw things out to the masses as quickly as they could without any real coherent plan. Then a change at the top, and the new boss has everybody sit back and take a breath, maybe go out for a cheeseburger (not a steak). The patches feel more deliberate, more coherent. |

Exactly, things seem to be more rounded and have meaning now. It is good that they have changed in being more open with the public testers. Plus without promising dates like in the past. The quality of the patches is showing.

LMAO. This thread shows just how out of touch from reality AoC fanboys are. FC merges servers, and now all of the sudden they actually think that the increase in population on their server is not from the mergers, but only from new subs. This is really bordering on a mental sickness at this point. Paranoid Schizophrenia ...Your brain misinterprets experiences and you hold on to these false beliefs despite evidence to the contrary... |

Experience first hand in game is better than any theory you could come up with fellas :) Seeing is believing on many servers, it is not happening on all and I can only speak from first hand in game experience. It's unfortunate some can't say the same.

I think most of these posters know the truth about population on AoC servers. They just try to make it seem like everything is 100 better than it actually is, basically lying to potential customers, just like Funcom before launch. Message to everyone: Don't believe the crap you read here, no matter how convincing it may sound. Ask your real life friends if you want to hear the truth about Age of Conan. |

There is the choice of buying the game for under $10 out there at a bargain and people can make their own mind up - something which I am sure would be better without much outlay, then they can compare the info from current subscribers to the outdated info floating around and make a better informed decision as a consumer out for the best deal. Things are not 100% better but they sure are in "most" area's. I don't think people are lying in saying it is better, it is just from experience they garnered first hand as per many feedback "2 cents" threads over the first few pages here done in the last few months from many respected posters. Again many say things are not 100% perfect but are better in many area's in which they had grief to start with. There is a difference from poster 1 to poster 2. Poster 1: don't play the game I beg you, they are all liers and scammers, I couldn't take it anymore and cancelled in August 2008 Poster 2: We since then this is what we have seen (insert some constructive info here) these are some things coming through in short term (insert some stuff here) but at the moment some things are still the same (insert some things here) but generally speaking the game is on the right track and more healthy etc etc. Difference is poster 1 is desperate for you not to play the game where as poster 2 gives some first hand experiences and differences and doesn't beg you to play, just lets you know changes from a before and after experience something poster 1 can't do :)

And if in the end he doesn't even like the game than he wasted a lot of money AND time. This is especially important when we talk about AoC because the beginning of the game is pretty good, whereas the endgame is boring and empty. This logic of 'let them try it and make up their own mind' is just dumb. There are tons of other games out there and nobody has time to try all of them. That's why they come here to ask about the game so they can decide whether they want to try it or not. It's important to talk about the negative things of Age of Conan. It's a known fact that about 90% of players quit Age of Conan after launch. Therefore it's more likely that a random person trying AoC, won't like it. Age of Conan is a niche game, developed for 10% of MMO gamers out there. If you belong to that 10%, you will love it. If not.. find some other game. |

Epic stuff right there! lol. I think we all have the right to make up our own mind. Also show us the reference to that known fact you refer to (a fact is something documented by a party having access to real data), and finally the most epic comment of them all. "Don't try the game because many people had issues 8 months ago. Try some other game just not AoC, Pleeeaaaase". lol. Dude get a grip. |

I see you didn't even read my post. Read it again. My point is that people come here to ask opinions about an MMO so that they don't have to TRY EVERY FREAKING MMO OUT THERE. So when someone asks what the game is like and should he try it, it's dumb to reply: 'try it yourself and make up your own mind!' Get it? People who didn't like the gameplay, instances or lack of endgame 8 months ago, won't like the game today. Period. Why? Because those things haven't changed!! Some people here.. |

And if in the end he doesn't even like the game than he wasted a lot of money AND time. No one is telling them to sub for 3 months - are you a bit confused here? - just as a recommendation to but the game cheap 30 days is included - you can pick the game up cheaper that what it costs to pay per month! After your month free as a wiser more informed customer you can make a better decision as to whether you want to sub or not - no pressure. Therefore that time spent would save money on just subbing upfront. "You never know unless you try it!" For under $10 you can have your monies worth. This is especially important when we talk about AoC because the beginning of the game is pretty good, whereas the endgame is boring and empty. Well would that be a risk that the customer themselves could actually make that decision themselves as a grown up right? are you saying that people can't do this or not capable? This logic of 'let them try it and make up their own mind' is just dumb. There are tons of other games out there and nobody has time to try all of them. That's why they come here to ask about the game so they can decide whether they want to try it or not. Ok so there will be a free trial coming soon - people can wait out for that if they want - they can also go for a buddy key and pay $2.99 DL or use their disks already if they have them as a previous subber. Or they can buy the game cheaper than $10 - thats 3 options all cheaper than the regular monthly sub at little out cost to them - I am sure people wouldn't be put out too much from those options. For me it is better than saying - "hey mate ! I can make your mind up for you - just don't play - thank me later!" Feedback is good in that they have options if they want to try it out at little to no cost to them if they find it interesting. Still 1st hand experience is better than theory in my experience. Remember they are asking about the game because they are interested in the first place - it only seems that some here are hell bent on telling people not to play without knowing the interested partys likes / dislikes. Therefore they would be in a better position to try themselves. It's important to talk about the negative things of Age of Conan. It's a known fact that about 90% of players quit Age of Conan after launch. Therefore it's more likely that a random person trying AoC, won't like it. But you don't have figures to support that percentage either way ( for or against ) and will never know - sure can make a rough guess, it is also know that a lot left after the first few months - which was as a fact like half a year ago :) You can not compare random guy 1 to random guy 2 - sorry. Age of Conan is a niche game, developed for 10% of MMO gamers out there. If you belong to that 10%, you will love it. If not.. find some other game. Well that is your opinion which is all fine and all, some people think it caters to a bit more than that other don't. Whose to say good ole random guy 1 or 2 might or might not be in that so called 10% ? - I'll tell you who the guy who wants you not to play and thinks they are on a crusade of some type, or even the same guy telling you 3 or 4 times under different names ;)
When free trial comes - there will be no reason not to try to game. What is obvious is that threads like this get right up the nose of those who have no real interest in the game - such a shame! Some people should be more open in giving better choices to the potential customer instead of scaring them away and treating them like they can't make their own mind up.
