Originally posted by hockeyplayr Nostalgia and reality don't mix well. You might miss it but after people get a peek I don't think it's going to be pretty unless everyone else goes insane too. I mean really, this game offers nothing that current games offer and certainly not better. To assert that throws all reason and logic to the wind. |

Well I never. Very happy for fans of the game. I wonder if this works will it set a precedent for necroing dead games? TR anybody? E&B? The Matrix online? Intresting times my freinds. It's going to take no less than the end of the world to drag me away from TSW and Eve atm, so I hope you guys report back with how you are getting along.

I think the interest shown in AC2 jsut shows how much people are starving for something different in the genre.....Even games that failed badly are wanted nowadays......

Players come for the game, but they stay for the people- Most Devs have forgotten this. |

C'mon now Tor... You know 'better' is subjective and often has nothing to do with logic. And while I do not dismiss the power of nostalgia, it is also a fact that many people just simply prefer older games and the attached design philosophies. To call people 'insane' for liking something you choose to dismiss as nostalgia (because you don't share their tastes) seems... churlish. Will this be a game for the mass market? No, ofc not... but will it's relaunch be successful on it's own terms? I say, more than likely, yeah it will. I never played it the first time around, in EQ land we kinda snorted at AC, but I am actually looking forward to giving it my time when it goes live. |

I had fun last night, one of the features I missed in AC2 as how easy their music system was. It was rather common for random jam sessions to start and last night was no different for me. I always liked the Tumerok mostly because of the drum. So that was the first character I made and I've been enjoying every moment of it.
AC2 didn't disappoint with the jam sessions, as right when I was about to log off I decided to play my drum while I leveled up my skill. The next thing I knew others joined in and I stated on a few minutes more to mess around with the beats as I have long forgotten what each one sounds likes.
When I logged off I noticed that fraps was still running and created several videos over 1TB, so I dug through and found the last few minutes, cropped it and uploaded it so that I would always have it. ;-P
Here's the video, it's not much but it brigns back so many memories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTGufd1dhMY
As side note: One trend I've noticed is that more and more MMO's are focusing on instant gratification not ignoring features that allow players to build a community. The music system in AC2 is an example of something that is rather simple but has the power to pull players together, they stop their quests and raiding and just make noise together. LoTRO's system has a similar effect but because of it's complexity fewer people are likely to join in unlike AC2. Funny I've raided, had massively PvP wars that destroyed whole player created cities, I’ve helped build and defend similar cities and lots a few myself, yet a small moment like this is more epic to me than all that.

so..this is only open to the people with a active account? will they ever open it to people that dont have a AC open account? can i sub to AC1 and get into AC2? theres really no need to re-open ac2 to get subs for ac1...more people as of now would love to play AC2 now because ac1 is soo behind times and ac2 was slightly ahead of times when it was released but the game was a huge let down by the dev. team seeing they didnt even want to work or improve their own product and try to compete with the big boys..but iv always said..if someone put some effort towards the game it can become pretty decent title

i'm not gonna say my personal feelings on the following unique (or at least rare) aspects AC2 has. while i liked that they tried some new ideas, i wasn't really a fan of the game. but i'm gonna mention a few features i can remember, and i think there are others as well (feel free to jump in and add to the list, anybody)
1) randomly generated stats on loot 2) no need to make a vendor run when your backpacks get full during adventure 3) coordinated group music emotes 4) rebuild ruined towns 5) hybrid of open/instanced dungeons, where most of a dungeon was open world, but special/boss encounters were inside instanced "vaults" 6) while there is lock-on targetting, you can physically dodge arrows and projectile spells (by moving character), making it semi-action-based The End |

You're basically asking to have two seperate subs for each game which means you'd pay the same and get half as much. |

Originally posted by lovebug Yes. Don't install into the progam files directory (at least for AC1, I automatically didn't do it for AC2 so I'm not sure if the same permissions errors happen) and everything works fine. |

i think alot of people are forgetting what made ac2 bad in the first place. first off all it was microsoft pushing the game early before it was ready. the devs did fix alot of the problems but the problem was it was making the wow dollars and microsoft pulled the plug because they wanted the wow dollars, much like swg, only they just recreated the game. the game was fine as it was although alot of ac1 players didnt like it because it changed so much from ac1. other than that it would have been a great game. still cant wait to try it out to see if my memories are the same of the game now that I have alot more gamer knowledge. back then i was a fledgling mmo player, i havent gotten as cynical about mmos as I am now.
