AoC has made a conscious decision to make items less important. Thats not saying they are unimpiortant. Just less than what most people think of as the norm from their experiences in World of Warcraft

Using the MMORPG Finder searching for any type of MMO, any Genre for the criteria of PVE Gameplay and Population gives

Hope this helps

I'd be all for that too

Perhaps its true. although I think many stocks are tanking these days.

I agree with you. However, I ran some data from the Burial grounds site. Out of the ~500 MMO characters listed there, the majority suprisingly choose to still play HUman (See the graph HERE  5th graph down). Now 500 isnt a large number when you compare it to the number of players playing MMOs but I still find it surprising.

Yea I saw this. NOt good for Funcom to retain its image

This was a good joke...about 4 weeks ago. Bashing AoC requires new material please

Bumped once because 10 of the 12 front page posts are variations of the "I hate AoC' theme

Again, WAR may or may not be a good MMO fit for everyone. WAR is a PVP (RvR) centric game. If you dont live for group angainst group fights in your online game, WAR may not be a good choice for you.

Although Graphics are a plus, They do not make a game at all. Beauty in and of itself just isnt enough (Check out the third graph down HERE..graphics ranked 4th in importance). HOwever I would say that the biggest impact on any game is who you play it with. If you are soloing the whole way, or in a guild in which a lot of players are disenchanted..its going to affect you. Heck, with the crew I run with I probably could enjoy 3 hour minesweeper  marathons. When we rampage through the countryside leveling or raiding in an instance, everyone seems to point out cool things I wouldnt have noticed. That alone adds to the game enjoyment.

I would say, if you are unhappy with the game, but you have only soloed or just randomly chose a guild. If you have time on your accounts...It may be time to go find some new people, not a new game. It cannot hurt and I wager when you find your bunch, you will find that AoC can be a fun time.

In the wall of dispair in which this board has become..I thought I would contrast. Its not Terrible, The sky isnt falling, Wails of frustration are not seeping from the bricks and mortar. AoC is fun, for me. Perhaps not for the 10 posters above and below me. But for me...Im having a good time.

I request that all forum flamers and hate-mongers please form an orderly line below. All posts will be registered and counted

Abandon all hope ye who read beyond this line

As bad as they may be, roleplaying can really only come from the MMOs. Your not going to find them on the console games. HOwever, I find that the game doesnt make roleplayers. Roleplayers are nomadic, moving from place to place, game to game for who knows what reason. I say look hard, find a clan and stick with em.

Snide Anti-AOC comment from Nibbles aside. grats to your guild!

I was never a big fan of  Music in Video games (Final Fantasy 1 on the black and white gameboy probably scarred me). However I must agree with the OP. I really enjoy the Music in AoC. Especially the Intro music for the logon screend.

WTG Funcom

It may make Niblx happy to know I listed the nicknames for ToS as FOTM-1, and PoM as FOTM-2. Guardians are moving up now as FOTM-3

However, its all in good fun guys. No flames needed

This is something all MMO producers should offer as a standard option for launch day if you ask me (i.e. downloads begin x days before release so players have the client ready).

Even with a weeks head start, i could only imagine the frustration of trying to download 15 gb with 100,000 other players

Fast moving forums, Ill give you a single bump

I put together an Age of Conan PvP guide.  Its surprising but for a lot of players this seems to be where people decide if they like this game or not. I know the grief on the PvP servers are an issue and because of that I wrote this to aid people in knowing what to expect and what to do. PvP in AoC is different from a lot of MMOs people have played (and most notably WoW). I tried to make a good primer to give people a good start and making them competative. Read it HERE

Even with the expanded bag space. I wager there will still be plenty of scavenging of unwanted loot bags on the ground
