In the end, this is a good thing!

Best thing for you to first do if decide what it was that you liked about WoW, then take note of what it is about WoW that your unhappy with. Once you get those two, finding a game doesnt seem as daunting. I think the biggest decision for any MMO player is to decide if you like PvP or PVE most.

I wrote an article on how to find a new MMO HERE

I even went so far as to code a MMORPG FINDER that you could try out

Hope this helps

Well, as we all grind up in AoC and work our way through the mid to upper levels, one of the biggest annoyances players talk to me about is travel time. This is certainly not unique to AoC, it is often complained about in most MMOs, even in ones where travel is almost too easy (WoW).

However, players are an ingenious lot, and it didnt take long for us to find a way around without using our walking shoes. As such  death porting has become a common practice. NOw, I am not some MMO purist who feels that "Death should only have negative consequences and should be sought after for primary gain" (although one could make that argument). I am wondering what alternatives we could develope to the death port. 

One Idea I have is have a seperate, smaller version of the bind point recall spell  but on a seperate timer (say 10 min) you can port to the rez points within your current zone. Least then we wont have our gravestones littering the zones (Conan likes his territory kept spottless)

Any Other ideas?

wow...when you get stoned you write a lot?

I just sit there, stare, and smile a bit .

I go for the munchies. This guy is a LOT more productive

I would also add that the succesful patches only continues a trend that began weeks before AoCs release. FunCom has been going full steam in ironing out issues with this game. I expect this kind of effort to continue for some time.

I agree with Kyler,

However a HoX may be something you should try in AoC

I believe that takeing a small break from AoC is a much smarter play than screaming "I quit!" and canceling in the heat of the moment. Fact is this is exactly how I experienced WoW when it first came out and players were lagging into lava trenches in Ironforge. A lot of my friends quit WoW only to return later. I expect the same issues will come about with WAR soon after its release

Take a break,

Cool off,

Give it time, it will come around and be a solid game

Always happy to bring a smile to others.

I like being able to pass waypoint files to one another. brings people together to help one another. But in the aspect of the game where the nodes are in short supply, yes it compounds the issue

I like to believe that so long as there is the ability to have significant amounts of Roleplay  in a game, they can use the term MMORPG. It may not be prevolant, but there are significant clusters of roleplayers on all these games (WoW, AoC, lotro, etc)

I honestly believe MMOs have been tame, and were lagging a far distance behind the Console games. It seems that they are only now catching up. Even with AoC I still believe there is a long way to go

Thanks guys. Yea, I speculated in the article about the high competition and the rare drops/gems rate need to be upped. I think a lot can be fixed by increasing the resource node recovery time

Hey all,

I put together a guide on Harvesting entitled "Age of Conan Gathering guide for the Decapitated"
Read it HERE

Although it is a small part of the game, it is one that will be important as more players hit 40 and start crafting and more guilds start building cities. I also added my insight into harvesting resources. However, I would like any input on how to make the guide better. All comments, both pro and con are welcome. I dont mind you bashing the article, so long as you give constructive suggestions on how to make it better

Thanks all!

This is the main point I made in my Review.

Age of Conan: The Review. "A great Game with a fatal Flaw" 

True enough Nerg, Ill make the changes. Thanks for the comments all

I dont know if its the best character customization...COX players may dispute this. However, it certainly draws you in as soon as you start up the game. When I wrote my review, I noted the Immersion was the strongest aspect of AoC

 After running Tortage 4 times each archetype class for the Tortage Walkthrough, I can tell ya, it can get a bit tiresome for Tortage run #5. I know that a lot of players would certainly want to know if there was a way to leave tortage before lev 19/20. If there is a way to leave (Legally), then I'd put it in the article.

I thought the smuggler wasnt useable before Lev 19. What level can you use the Smuggler at? Is there a bug that allows Smugglers to be used by low lev charS?

HOwever, I will say that the hottest topic of discussion is about AoC ..this will fade with time Im sure. I dont mind AoC discussions here any more than I mind looking for MMO discussions that are not posted on the LFGame board.
