I have another question too.  Has Funcom or whoever is doing this always been this sly and dishonest? 

Yes they have, since their existence!
 

Over time as technology gets better and better and more people are able to upgrade their systems yes they could!  Although that also makes it harder and harder for those that can't upgrade their PCs to handle that many characters on screen thus excluding those paying customers.

Funcom has already cut a huge portion of the MMO player base by the required specs needed!  Upgrading would only make it worse and cut even more players from fully experiencing what the game offers.  This is why the 100x100 was cut down to 48x48, cause even the top end PCs atm don't handle 100x100 very well.

I don't understand how he can formulate any real conclusions about the game without actually playing it.

Sometimes later on it could get better or they're having a bad day or many times that what you get and nothing ever changes; sometimes only a little changes but the core stays the same.

You can't say you've tried every asian MMO out there and gave them a few weeks or a month chance!  Many log in and can tell its a grind fest or not for them within a few min....doesn't change with AAA MMOs either.

What you just said...so wait!  It was released early too.

There are PvE "non-ganking" servers, and raid dungeons at lvl 80!  However I'm seeing a ton of mixed signals in all posts on AoC!  Probably best to wait until the free month is over and then see how the subscriptions are holding. 

Believe its been said they're not allowing buddy keys yet and making sure all the new "Paying" players get into the game and advanced some.  More than likely to not crash their servers and reduce overcrowding in Tortage!

Apparently some people think AoC uses instancing like Guild Wars instead of Tabula Rasa, CoX or EQ][. They may be confusing instances (private dungeons/missions) with instancing (creation of multiple outdoor zones when the zone has too many PCs) though the terms are similar so I understand the confusion.

I played EQ2 some and AoC is similar yeah?  Thats no fun...even if I can see the others players text from another instance it still feels so confined since I can't see that player unless I switch to their instance.  Also takes the immersion away if I have to ask what instance your in to meet up.

If only more developers would do more events like this!  That was alot of fun to be a part of, though I was not in this video!  From what I've been reading you'll never see anything like this in AoC!

Opening of Ahn'Qiraj

Could I please get an invite to try this game!  I've finally got a PC that will prolly run this great and I'd like to at least try it before I buy it! 

Please send me a PM here, not gonna list my email for spam!

Vista does use up alot of resources, but it does not slow down MMOs or any games!  Thats just alot of BS that many are tossing around cause there PC can't handle Vista!

With your specs you would be ok to run Vista, but it wouldn't hurt to add another 1-2GB of RAM!  You can also DL a Vista test from Microsoft that will tell you how well ur PC will run it and what version.

Would like to get a buddy pass please!  Looks like it could be a fun game, but would rather try it before I even consider the purchase!  If one is available please send me a PM here, not gonna leave my email for someone to sign me up for spam!
