IMO the solo content outweighs the grouping content. With the addition of Evendim, Tal Bruinen, north/south high pass, and Forochel it's fairly easy to solo to lvl 50 if you want. To me that would be somewhat boring, but it can be done.

 

I'm just saying grouping shouldn't be forced upon people inorder to do quests, there should be enough solo content for people to do if they can't find a group, which up to this point there really isn't.

 

No grouping shouldnt be forced... and it isnt in LotrO... there is more than enough solo quest in this game I can assure you! Have you done all the quest in ND, Evendim and Trollshaws (think that zone starts at 33) ?

But grouping is more fun and I too wish it was easier to find groups at times.. (or that people would start using the LFF tool...) But the reason people dont group is because its easier to solo and there is too many solo quests :)

I am almost done with ND quests, I haven't started in either Evendim or Trollshaws.

 

I totally agree that grouping is more fun.  The problem with current MMO's and leveling is that solo play is much more rewarding, I agree.  They should encourage group play while leveling by getting rid of the XP penalty or something like that.

Trust me when I say, you will not run out of content. Even when you reach 50 your quest manager will be full. Now book 14 is coming... more quests

How far are you in the chapter quests ?

grouping can be a lot of fun when you least expect it ...

Think it was very well introduced to the Lotro as well. Turbine didn't make it a focal point or a circus that dx10 was going into the game. It seemed like an effortless achievement too, "O and in this patch we have dx10"  Turbine should be a roll model for young developers

People pay 50 dollars for professional quality software. I just am not see anything professional abou tthis game besides it's marketing and packaging..

This is almost a complete sham if they didn't even build AoC from the ground up . I feel very good now that I didn't wait for the game and chose a different , polished and professionally produced title.

Kind of fitting the game is on Eidos, cause most of the title Eidos picks up are lower then mediocre.

high lights for me :

Emotes

• We’ve added three new emotes and added animations to a few existing emotes!
  • Burp
  • Charge
  • Chuckle – new!
  • Clap
  • Congratulate
  • Fidget
  • Hail – new!
  • Poke
  • Shiver
  • Slap
  • Think
  • Whippitydo – new!!
  • Wince
  • Yawn
  • Ahem

Horses and Ponies now have walking animations.

Curious why the dx10 distant landscape has been disabled, I'm sure it is for a just reason

Dead Space is to over the top for me, I don't need bad dreams at night lol ...

In Lord of the rings online it has taken me 1.5 years to get on character to 48 with the undying title. Think if you you are some how breezing through the content, it is most likely cause your grouping all of the time, which is not bad at all , it is incouraged, but the challenges in the game are there if you take the time to try them.

Using the new quest manager to sift through single and group quests may help find that hook your missing.

Be well none the less, you won't find anyone here who will argue that you have to love this game.It is about you finding the games you love !

You could be correct about Fable 2 , guess I will finally have to get an xbox360 ;D

I thought Fall out 3 was pretty good , play it as an action rpg or a turn based ,.. so it doesn't get a "meh" from me :P

Look at the date of the 14.99 it will be for the next month. IF you change your plan to the life time, it is a done deal ., no more worries enjoy the game !

So far  for me Dragon age, I just think Bioware is missing the mark with it as of that demo, I just didn't get a sense of wanting to see more or play it.

That one game on the p3 with the dude that shoots lighting , just think it look like a dark jedi in a urban clothes, not very thought out or interesting.

NFL BLitz , do people actually play that ?

Huge meh for that big controller thing that is motion and force reactionary .. simply to baulky

G4tvs entire coverage of e3 ...

most of the Wii games, they just have all the great technology for controlling things but nothing to really set it all up yet.....

There is just to much .... but "Fall out 3 " definitely game of the year, it is just such a great look and a great new way for an rpg.

Mercenaries 2 , look to have a really polished look, looks addictive , and the g4tv live demo they did real ltime nuclear blast.... nuff said.

Fable 2 , simply because of the instant buddy join in . that was amazing as well as the best innovation of the show. Real time no load buddy invite right into the game, amazing.

Prince of Persia  what they showed looked amazing, and I love how the co op character is more like an extra utility then an burden.

Those aer emy 2 picks, sadly I think the mmo industry got the shaft because Funcom manipulation of the media for the past 5 years at this and other events.

Welcome and glad you are enjoying your game time

Think this is the only forum section with happy faces

I would go with the Phenon chip on a amd mobo with xfire. If you want pure quad computer...anything else is noobware.

2 of these lol

I hope mmorpg.com will maybe consider doing something like Gamepot did with E3 , maybe not as long but like an hour segment each day of e3 , cause there was very little to almost no mmorpg except for Dc and Agency. Think one reason for this is because of how Funcom led the press on a hype frenzy  and it really burned a lot of press. Now the press didn't cover mmo's hardly at all.

Just a suggestion for next year ..
