Why is he chopping at WoW instead of just presenting AoC? I don't like that, it's a sign of unprofessionalism and professionalism is one of the reasons WoW is doing so well. I don't like it because of the "plastic" armor sets or silly fairylands, I like it because it is a very balanced, optimized and tuned game. And that takes hours and hours of work and dedication. If I'll see that in AoC then I'll know it really is a game worth playing, just relying on new features such as action combat isn't good enough for me.

I'm sorry that you take offense, because I had no intentions of offending anyone. I hate to have to say these numbers again, but an MMO that has 8 million subscribers is obviously doing something right. A game will not just randomly have that many subscribers. Therefore, WoW IS in fact an MMO and a very successful one at that. Even if you brushed aside the immature players you've still got a hefty chunk of the mature players. Though I don't want to admit it, I'm sad to say that 3 million or so out of that 8 million would have to be the mature ones. That's the only sad thing about WoW, considering that's a very pathetic fraction. Nearly 2/3 players are a bunch of ignorant bastards. That I will agree to. Furthermore, I'm not comparing AoC to WoW as an MMO itself. My first poll was comparing subscribers and asking a  question whether or not people think AoC would eventually have as large a fan base as Blizzard does.

It's a shame when people quote the amount of WoW players. 8 Million.... Do you think that some religions are right and perfect because they have so many millions of people following them? Oh right... they must be doing something right... seriously lol

I don't think AoC will have that many subscribers but i believe it will have enough for the industry to give it credit as successfull in the years to come.

      Just curious about this given funcoms widely known rep as a greedy company who half ass does everything and lies to there customers do you have faith they will be any different for AoC?

 

   I played Ao for a number of years I am fully aware of how funcom works and how they handle there player base and have handled there player base for years.I have heard lie after lie after lie told to there customers,I have seen expansion packs released like AI with the main feature of the expansion pack(player shops) not even added into the game till 6 months after ppl paid them for the expansion.

 

 

  Just curious to you AoC fans if you really think given Funcom's track record that they will somehow manage to do this game right and actually treat there customers better than they have the last 6 years.

 

You are of course free to pass on any Funcom products, no worries about that. But out in the real world, except for the really chaotic launch, AO has one of the best reputations on the MMO market. It is THE one game of ALL MMOs that can claim to be the next step in evolution of MMOs (EVE as well, but that is shipbased), that actually did something more than just a bland copy of EQ. Funcom has tons of respect among developers and players alike, and that you cry over some microscopic pet peeve you and you alone whine about does not change the real world.

Both game designers and player audience are extremly curious what Funcom will add to the genre this time. So yes... Please, stay away. Its all up to you, and I really think some dork that want to cry before he even knows what he cries about would just help the game a lot by not being anywhere near it.

May I suggest Vanguard for you? You should fit in perfectly with those people. Bye bye, now.

 

 

 Thanks for most being adult enough to answer and reply with there opion unlike the one quoted above here. To  you Harafnir Fanboi much? You think I and only me have this opion of Funcom? Guess again.Want me to start listing all the problems funcom as a company did and continues to do to it's paying customers and wonder why I would ask such a question?

 

 Good job on the personal insults though it really makes your opion carry weight. I played and probly know 10000x more about AO and Funcom as a company on your best day,I was there from day 1 release for alot of years notice in my question/post I did not say AO was a bad game or a unfun game.I said Funcom was a greedy company who lie prove to me I am wrong I can back my opions up with fact atleast unlike you who has to try to insult to make  a post seem relevant.

 

   Fact: Alien Invasion was released to stores with player shops splattered all over the box as a feature. Fact it took them 6 months AFTER people had paid them to actually put them in game.You do not consider that case alone being A.Greedy and B.Lying? If not perhaps you should pick up a dictionary along with AoC and read up on it might help with your broken english skills also.

 

 

  And yes I am sure gamers are chewing at the bit to see what ground breaking earth shattering things Funcom will bring to the genre this time....Ao was innovative in alot of things I will give you that does not change the fact that due to a poor launch,poor customer service,laggy servers which they still have to this day,slow on bug fixes and list goes on and on that AO was a flop compared to what it should have been.I look forward to when Aoc releases so I can come back here and bump your post.

 

Rznkain what a nub!

A swede no wonder it was such a retarded fucking reply you made you swedes are known for being dumb as fuckin rocks thanks for proving it. and drop me your big bad asses name in AO pal I will be happy to log in my char there in that pos buggy lag ass filled game and still kick the piss out of any gimp you could have. Piece of shit loses euro trash

You do realise what an asshole you look like?

Yep theres a bit more here about skills on the guild wiki site:

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Skill

"The horseback combat also remains in the game allowing players to ride up and chop at their foes."

Awesome!

Why would anyone want to play the game in chinese when they wouldnt understand it?

Theres enough Asian languages spamming the chat on the Euro and American servers already. No more thnx.

Ok so I have prophecys and factions sitting here, and both I tried for pve and found it boring pvp was fun though. Now I am major on pve and I was told nightfall was far more fun because of more skills and the pve in general is this true? The truth is alot of mmos spoled pve for me on other games and I went to gw and it was just dull to me. I am not bashing at all guys and I know its free online I just want to make sure its me or maybe I did not give it long enough. Btw my highest pve is only level 8 elementalist but like I said I was not impressed by the spells and pve.

You havent no where gave it long enough! If your still at lvl 8 your gonna be possibly in pre searing in prophecies or in factions on noob island. The higher the lvl you get the more skill points you get which can be used with payment to a skill trainer in some towns to aquire new skills. There are dozens and dozens of skills to pick from, the further into the game the more powerful the skills will become available from the skill trainers.

I just made another character on Factions today i've been playing for just over an hour and i goto lvl 9. Point being, you really cant make your mind up on the game until you have experienced atleast 75% of its content. In PvE you have experienced maybe 5% of the game if that. PvE gets better and better if your playing Alliance Battles, and Balthazaar rewards you get you can use to unlock more skills including "elite" skills which you can only cap in PvE giving you a chance to experience what they are like. In Prophecies get out of the pre-searing area, then get out of the boring Ascalon area by completing the city mission quests furthering you into the game and story arc. In Factions get of noob island and onto the mainland, start doing the quests to get filled in about the story line, and as you progress maybe join a guild and choose whether to go Luxon or Kurzick. Most fun further down the road.

Personally I would wait and do more of the other 2 games before you get nightfall, learn how it works and then progress. Nightfall does offer in my opinion the second best story line after the Original.

Need any help In Game Name = Amazing Avery

^ Probably didn't play it for very long.

Go for GW for easy pick up and play it times, whether PvP of PvE its something enjoyable to mess around with. Who knows even if you like the feel of it you might be tempted to stick with it longer.  IMO wait a bit longer with Vanguard and Lotr to see how they pan out.
