I don't see why so many people are against AoC. I personally think it's one of the greatest MMO's I've played. It runs perfect on full settings and looks great. PVP is awesome. Detailed worlds are amazing. The mammoth makes my sub go BOOM! Which is fun to play around with (shakes the whole house). What can I say, I like hack-n-slash games, good graphics, and an in depth story-line. What else is there to look for? I 've like AoC since it was released, but I'm one of few sadly...

The soundtrack is also AMAZING by the way.

And Tyranny has good activity. Its the server I'm on.

(the books are good. I just started my first one in the AoC series. Interesting reading about the places I have "walked" around in before hahaha. Decided to give it a try cuz the book was on sale for $3.99 :P)

I don't think is that bad pop. Sure it's a lot  of hate over internet.

But everytime I login all servers are on medium. That is not 100% right maybe...

I don't know how the US servers are but the EU ones I been playing around with are great.

Crom, Fury and Aquilonia.

Never alone, in the morning or late at night.

So that AoC will end up with only 3 servers sounds a bit wierd.

Maybe with the new expansion asian players will join and booom AoC have millions of subs like the "mighty" ugly cartoon game WoW!

Ya all servers are set to medium by default, I think it is dishonest as what is the point of even having them if they straight up lie to the players. It is dishonest and I think AA should bring it up to them as it is confusing new players along with the head developer stating "server populations are fine."  This is a MMO putting days into a charecter just to get stuck on some empty server is not good, it is even worse when the reason you are there is because Funcom lied to you twice.

The asians will be on seperate servers, Funcom sold the rights so Funcom won't make a penny.  However, this game would be lucky to keep 5 asians if they got 2 billion to try a free trial as this game lacks content and it is probably to simple combat wise for them.

I would recommend a quick browse of the official forums. From the outside looking in it looks to me like Cimmeria and Tyranny are the two most active servers and he other two could/should be merged into either each other or into Tyranny.

I forgot if I linked this but I found it fitting that Tyranny is dying in population after just a few weeks ago the head developer stated "populations are fine".  The players on Tyranny are not putting up with substandard PvP any longer.

When is the next batch of server mergers, as it is time to be proactive?

From the posts in the thread linked by our always grumpy Finaticd it seems that the guys in Tyranny are having quite a jolly good time challenging other guilds in other servers. Thanks Finaticd, that thread shows that players are having fun in AoC.

Sorry man but it looks like you forgot what it was to have fun long time ago. I'm sorry for you but AoC doesn't seem to be good for your health Finaticd. Come on, cheer up, find a nice game, or a nice girl, or a nice crate of beer, whatever fits you, and cheer up man. ;-)
 

From the thread linked by our grumpy AoC forum pet:

• "How about we get this ban lifted so Ascendant, the self proclaimed awesome guild of Set, can come over and show us how to pvp?"
• "You will lose your BK in less than a week, get your ass canned in world pvp...your alts, your mains, and your recruits. Your minigame teams will fail miserably aginst any Carnage, Disbanded or Usual Suspects premade. We could see how loyal your guild is when they have to lose and rebuild what they lose every week."
• "The only thing that you will have left to claim is hacks on every other guild except you own because thats the only thing your guild will have to hold on to."
• "I was there on Dagoth while Ascendant was a powerful guild....sorry to say they are nothing compared to the competition that you will find on Tyranny."

...cheers.
