Sounds weird, I get this on the Russian server too.

Funcom is doing pretty good with adding and fixing its game, its far from fail...

Ill buy 500 thanks

Tortage is an intense graphical area am I right?

For the last 3 or 4 months I was thinking, WHY DID I BUY AOC, I didn't want to give up on something that has such wonderful literature behind it, the pre-order was allright. Warhammer Online, same story...box looks better though. I too have put some effort and money into buying a system and components for AoC, well not directly for AoC, but it was an inspiration to do so, the marketing team did a good job of advertising how revolutionary and new / exciting AoC was going to be *yawn* DX10 will definitly create a new level of immersion for MMORPGs and for AoC, dont know what else to say...

I voted for Funcom, because they have tried the impossible, and came out with not a completely bad product, which deserves applause, no other MMO development studio is trying anything new, hence why Funcom should be applauded, not matter how the MMO itself turned out, we need more companies to start trying to new things, instead of being conservative and saturating the MMO scene.

i agree they do look out dated on screenshots

but i've found playing is better level of quality!

 

Gameplay is not subpar I agree, and the graphics are fine, for a free MMORPG, it has shadows and the floor has light reflecting, its the same as WoW and WAR, except for the textures of course :)

OP probably had one bad incident, and based his judgemen on that. Biased, because obviously previous poster states that there is a wide range of people, hence OP exaggerated.

WOW...don't waste your life on crap MMOs

Simply fixed by the prompt when you start the launcher. What choice do Vista users have? To make a partition? What stupid moron would make a customer creat a partition just to play a game? Anywho, I installed it under C, and have had no problems, though the first time I started the game, it stopped responding for a few seconds, then came back.

So, for the people that have bought the Collectors, what is going to be the advantage? We dont get in-game non-combat pets, which is what Blizzard did, or anything of that sort, all we get is some ring that only stops working at level 30 or 40, and a cape, which is comepletely useless, because its a complement to the drunken brawling feature. And so, even in-game mounts like the Mammoth which is what I have, NOW EVERYONE CAN BUY IT! What makes the AoC CE special? I dont know if its the cheap material that was used or the cheap rewards...you decide :)

When I was playing 2moons, I had no problems running it on Vista...

Ive been wondering if the instance to meet the frost father is a full raid or a 6-man?

Welcome to the forums Chicken Little.

After about 100 hours of WAR, I got bored with it, I think I realized that there is nothing waiting for me when I finish, just the same, nothing new, this is way too boring, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

1 Warhammer

2 LOTRO

3 Hellgate

Funcom reads MMORPG.com?...

So what I am getting from your barely coherant and legible posts is that you have and have had an ongoing problem with latency playing AO, and you don't like the new play experience.

Personally I haven't had any trouble with latency in AO. At least not anything out of the ordinary for any MMOG. I would imagine that part of the problem could be the older game engine, but TBH I still don't have enough latency issues to really say it makes the game frustrating or unplayable.

I suppose the new player experience in AO is a matter of taste. I don't particularly have a problem with it. I think it's passably well done and teaches new players the basics of the game before they go out into the wider worlds of AO. You can also basically skip the entire "Noob Isle" section if you want because you can take the teleporter to the mainland as soon as you get there. I haven't made a new character in a while, but afaik it hasn't changed much since then. I am pretty sure you can also choose which new player area you start in if you are on a pay account with Shadowlands. 

Sorry AO isn't for you...

I agree, maybe the OP should get a better ISP
