Someone died in RvR.

OP obviously never played EverQuest.

There have been discussions about the Xfire argument in the past but there's a certain faction of knuckleheads that don't understand it, so don't bother expecting them to.

If you want good discussions about the game, you're right, go to Warhammer Alliance. Pretty good forum community there.

im thinking the vast majority of xfire users are people who just click their way through installs in general and probably have comrade, weatherbug, and several other not so useful things installed as a result of that fact. THOSE are the people we are supposing represent gamers in general? hmm....i gotta say to me it sounds like the only thing xfire could measure is "people in too much of a rush to uncheck a box who play games".

use visa, use internet providers, use anything that provides solid data, dont use a cross section that represents the fanboy hordes. shit, fanboys dont even count as gamers, they jump from 1 fad to another; it is like counting fleas on a dog.

Right on. Don't expect any of the knuckleheads here to understand that though.

Actually your the exactly the low IQ type person they are talking to with this garbage. If you believe this bullshit I got a bridge to sell you too. Log into a low pop server and tell me how many players you see running around then tell me the population decrease is because they raised the servers cap.

Did you know that you could avoid all the bitching and whining by creating a toon on a more populated server? I know, it's pretty mind-blowing, isn't it!

As of right now Guild Wars has 5 million accounts, you can go into any zone in the PVP areas any time of night and find hundreds of people playing.  Guild Wars has Guild Versus Guild which is very popular also.  And like I said Guild Wars 2 is coming out next year, with high customization features (take notice mythic), Persistent world, so everyone can shut up with the "its not an MMORPG",  Higher level cap, and best of all Free to Play, yes Free to Play EA, say it with me F.R.E.E.  T.O. P.L.A.Y. I bet all EA executives cringe at the sound of those 3 words, dam losers.

The quality of the people in Guild Wars is piss poor and that's typically what you get with free to play games, but if that's your thing, by all means, go back.

As far as your other issues, sounds like you picked a crappy server. Many servers are pretty balanced (see warlytics.com) and your issues with classes is all based on opinion. Say it with me. OPINION.

The whole Xfire debate is ridiculous, and you folks that get embroiled in the numbers are equally as ignorant for not considering all of the variables in play.

I'm Superman. No, really.

Jon, it was objective. The rabid AoC playerbase simply had their feelings hurt when they realized the review was spot on and they're wasting their time playing a piece of crap. GG

Don't try to compare AoC to LOTRO or Eve, they were and are leaps and bounds ahead of AoC; Funcom can only dream that Conan will be that successful someday.

Hmm, is she cute and single?

Thanks for the advice,

 

Uninstalling now

Ditto. I'm thanking you in advance for all of the headaches this will save me.

Good call, OP.

It was plainly obvious that Funcom was hiding things from the open beta testers and game review sites. I mean c'mon, it didn't take a brain surgeon to see that there were major issues with the game, so why all these folks ran out and purchased it, especially knowing Funcom's history, still baffles me. I love MMOs, I've played many of them, but I'm pretty proud that I didn't jump on the AoC bandwagon.

Funcom should get out of the MMO business; they've released two titles with HUGE potential and both will go down in MMO history as epic failures. I'm just glad that the folks with any sort of brain activity left said enough is enough and showed they were displeased with Funcom's efforts, or lacktherof, by cancelling.

They did make something out of the ordinary for the MMO community. as a matter of fact it will go down in history

Yes it will... just not the way that Funcom had hoped.

I use SpamMeNot (as referenced right above me) and haven't received a message since. :)

That's hilarious!

....

You WERE joking, right?

Hmm, interesting. I'd read that MS is no longer interested in carrying AoC on Xbox Live.

Let's see, you have two level 80's in AoC, which is one of the most incomplete, overhyped, unpolished, and buggy MMOs ever released, and you recently complained about how slow the leveling is in both Vanguard and Warhammer, so you obviously want a game you can zip right through at warp speed.

Art is subjective, but its obvious you are drawn to the realistic style of AoC and Vanguard. That's fine, but the Warhammer world is still very colorful and creative, whether it fits your personal taste or not.

I might also add that you are wrong about the power of Warrior Priests... I've taken them down solo as a Marauder.

Finally, I have little reason to believe you've spent much time in the game, and that you know very little about the Warhammer world and lore.

*deep breath*

So, this pretty much leaves you with little credibility when it comes to your opinion.

You are delusional. The game director has been replaced but they still have hardly any talent to pull from; it's not like Funcom employees are exactly known for being the best in the industry... most of them have very little experience.
