I have the same payments issues with SOE.

None of two credit cards were accepted.

I opened support ticket. And got totally useless answer.

Advice to try something I stated in ticket I tried already.

Anyway it's just plain weird that if subscriptions are source of incom, support even in this department is lacking so much.

Luckly EQ2 is in better condition then SOE support is.

Both are good games. AoC is not owned by SOE, Go figure.

Tried to renew subscription and SOE in it's wisdom updated it to something which doesn't work correctly either (Oo surprise)

Seems they have some issues with checking currency and country and are craping out on some cards checks (check two of course none of them want to work with SOE)

Even better to report problem with payment system you need to click somehow 10 times, and bug report form ain't flawless either...

Jeez I can't belive sometimes this company can make money

To have game partched so quickly and with such long list of fixes is a very nice move on Funcom side!

For me another point for Conan.

Below list of fixes for those interested

I just saw where only at level 40 can you get mounts for this game.  Another carbon copy of WoW. Can't these games make up their own identities? Do they all need to follow Warcraft? I never understood why you needed to wait two-thirds up the levels to get a mount. Doesn't make sense. I know people want mounts at a much earlier level.

Vanguard had it right. At level 10 you were able to get one but unfortunately that game was terrible at best.

Yep your right its a total copy. . .

One of funniest topics in recent days

I left EQ2 about 2 months ago for LOTRO which at time was only pretty much any "deep" and modern MMO on market.

Well now tere is AoC which so far looks more appealing then EQ2 and LOTRO

I actually play EQ2 for almost 2 years. My sub expired about week ago so I can say I have fresh view.

Ah and I was lucky to get to EA.

It is similar in some ways. But it's more a surface similarity and maybe "feel" you get is bit alike. But then which Fantasy MMOs are not similar? :)

Similarities I noticed:

- You have realistic approach to graphic, equipments, mounts, scenery
- You have dialogs instead of quest givers
- You have lot of classes with overlapping abilities ie. few type of healer classes, few time of fighter classes etc

Differences:

- Graphic is nicer, and performance is FAR better
- Shadows works (SOE haven't managed to fix shadows in EQ2 for 4 years)
- Animations of characters are much smoother (with little touches like head turning direction you look, you can sit instead of kneeling)
- Combat is more engaging and *direct* ie what you do you see
- It's more solo friendly. No *forced* grouping at lest <20

One more cool thing that works (and I was thinking it may not) is that even combat is so skill based it ain't buggy and ain't affected by lag.

I reme    mber Tabula Rasa where lag or even higher latency screws things allover. Here it's all smooth, precise and looks awesome! :)

Hmm it feels like I'm becoming a AoC fanboy hehe

I join the thanks to Funcom for this game. Plays great, looks better and does all the little thing that I could wish for.

It's so different to read those good few "Thank you/Great Job" threads about AoC as opposed to "Why we hate SOE" ones lol

But I gonna say Funcom seems to be doing soo much better job!

Long life AoC!

lol us nerds indeed.

Gonna say waiting for MMO go life, reading all the funny posts, hitting delay etc. is unique and fun experiance! :D

This is one of my big  complains as well.

It was first things I noticed and /bugged in beta. But as we all see it was never actioned.

Maybe they will get to fix it at some point.

Thanks for this solution!

Saves a lot of trouble!

I have the same problem,

Gonna restart client few times sometimes it eventually works.

As it seems to be common issue recently I would blame Tabula Rasa servers/provider/whatsoever

Try their feedback or something. I'm going to do that.

Gonna add I hate fact that there are no official forums
