This video looks old compared to a few of the most recent ones released. I hate when they try to make them cinematic in certain ways, don't they realize that doesn't sell the game? People want to see what it really looks like to play. UI and all showing.

I'm still hyped about the game, it HAS to better than what is floating around in stale mmoville right now.

I voted no but heard of it. My reason is, I really don't like the gameplay of the tabletop miniatures in any way shape or form, BUT..I do love collecting the pieces and painting them and putting them on display and I love the lore of the books. Just cant get into using a measuring stick to move pieces around on a board in a turn based state....GAG!

Sorry, I disagree. I'm loving the game at the moment. I also understand business and how if I have hit my budget and the only way to keep a project going is to release it half finished to give me more capital, than so be it I will launch it and hope it gives me the funding I need to finish it while it is in play.

I have played just about every MMORPG out there, and while this game has its faults it blows a few of the latest debacles of gaming out of the water. Namely Vanguard and Tabula Rasa. Sorry to burst your bubble, but I wanted to show you that not every customer is unsatisfied.

Ok, I voted PVE, but..I wanted to vote for all the others. 2 reasons I didn't. Number one...the Tome of Knowledge. I am so hyped about that so I had to vote PVE. Number 2, I don't really know how the city sieges are going to go down or the open rvr battles, but I can't wait to do them. I never really got that far in DAOC due to playing it only as a trial last year.

Just got mine preordered yesterday at my local Gamestop, and the cashier said she had a few more available still. This is in New Jersey.

while I am enjoying the game, and sure I am going to miss the 2 patches a week, (its like a cool surprise every few days reading what they were putting in or fixing) coming down to one patch a week would be just fine if they weren't so pathetic like today's Patch. Content is what the game is missing and content is what the patches are missing. See the problem?

while I agree, the content updating is well done, and ALL other mmorpgs out there should use it as an example. I still can't find myself playing this game due to the boring combat mechanics. It's just not fun enough to make me come and enjoy the great graphics(scenic at least) and music.

AoC on the other hand, which I'm playing now is unique enough that I can actually look past content flaws to the fun game it is.

another topic with a glaring video on Gametrailers disputing it. Check out http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26708.html where they mention it is a WORLD in the very first sentence!

For what it's worth, I don't think using xfire is going to give us exact numbers. My reason for this is I have XFIRE and I never use it anymore and I PLAY AOC! So there! Besides with how AoC is so finicky on PC's you don't want much running in the background eating up the resources any more than you have to.

If this is serious, where the hell were you people when SWG went bad, or when Tabula Rasa was launched? Or Vanguard? or a plethora of other games that don't even compare to AoC? If you don't like how Funcom did things, the best way to make them listen is with your wallet. Don't play the game.

On that note, if you see nothing has changed that means you are a minority opinion and many others ARE playing the game.

Its not garbage, otherwise I wouldn't play it for the next 3 months. On the other hand, its not the greatest game ever created but I will do the job of keeping me entertained until WAR launches.

Also, I have a level 51 DT and a level 40 Demo, and 5 others at around 20ish. So I am NOT burnt out on the game.

I'm fairly certain anything that brings something new to the table is going to get some love. I hope Warhammer does well. If it does, then Blizz will have to step up and put out even better content. I hope WoW does get slapped around by competition, that way we will see something like the U.S. and Soviet race to the moon. The "moon" being some amazing video game holy grail that all of us have somehow overlooked all this time.
My theory which very well may be incorrect is that the majority of WoW players are waiting to jump ship. Wow is a solid MMO, but I think there aren't many people sticking around for reasons other than that all the gamer buddies they have play it and they already have so much time invested in it.
However hard the hammer falls (crappy pun intended), I'll be happy that someone is at least attempting to put up a fight. Most of the games coming out right now are like little pebbles being thrown at WoW. I think AoC was a step in the right direction, but long term, it won't have the power to stand against WoW and WAR.
Interesting post.
Later people! Maybe I'll say something again in another year or so...

Awesome Post, I completely agree! AoC came out and I jumped the WoW ship since I was bored out of my frigging mind. Lack of content will do that. But I am chomping at the bit for teh big rock to be thrown, and I really hope its WAR!

3 mil users more actually.  the expansion coming out is a big factor.  in 2 years you're going to see maybe 1-2 more expansions.

I'm sorry, but I have to contend this since this is the MAIN reason I have quit WoW and moved on. In the last 3 years WoW has released 1 expansion. They will be pushing 4 years by the time WotlK comes out. In 2 years I see maybe 1 if any expansions being released for WoW, based on their current expansion release track record, which IMHO is absolutely atrocious.

Ok, other than this one contention I have no other beef, so carry on.

What's hilarious about this is how my experience went the completely different way.

Right before AoC came out, I decided to try and go back to EQ2 for a bit. I installed it, patched it, reactivated my account. Guess what. The game wouldn't get past the character creation process. For some odd known reason I have never solved, my pc did NOT like EQ2 anymore. I even asked for help in the tech forums. I got one reply telling me to post my dxdiag info. Haven't heard from them since.

So... off came EQ2 to make room for AoC. Guess what, AoC runs just fine on my PC. Go figure. I'm not dissing the game, I do like EQ2, but I am not happy with customer service or the technical aspects of a game 3 years old.

Personally, I'm just playing AoC to tide me over till WAR launches. Then its buh bye to all these precursors.

ok...what? you are mad because they want to put more effort into a new project? its a Business, why does this even surprise you?

Also you have to know that late 30s and late 50s is lacking in quests a lot, so you might make a lot of alts. But Funcom is looking into it at least.

Just wanted to point out that I had no problem finding quests yet on my dark templar. He is level 45 and I have a ton to do in Fields of the Dead. I can't comment on quests in the 50s but I can comment on the ones before that, and there are plenty. Matter of fact, I skipped a bunch in certain areas, either since I didn't feel like traveling over to those zones or becuase a few are so harcore camped by people that I didn't feel like waiting around.

i.e. the Arena quests in Tarantia Noble District.

awesome, thanks for the music vid links. Hopefully it will blow me away the way AoC has with its ambient sounds as well as it seems it will do with race music. I am soooo wishing I could speed up the summer to get to WAR!
