Everything you listed is all the things I loved about AOC as well.  Unfortunately, they weren't enough to keep me interested.  The eye candy is great, but beyond that, it's a hollow depthless game, for me anyway.  At the end of the day, there's nothing really to get excited about.

I love Age Of Conan aswell.

This is a bad place to show that you like this game thou, It's so full with hate towards a game they are not playing anymore.

I have played AoC since beta and I love it more for each day.

The game with best potential on the market of MMO's so far.

Well then please give us a reason for why you like it. Seems most AoC lovers dont have any arguments holding up at all.

Really ?
It seems some just dont wanna read

Well let me copy paste one of my previous posts:

Ok how does my average day in AoC looks like:

Well my experience is a bit different.
1. Log ON

2. I load in Kashetta and while Iam still thinking what will I do some starting to beat me up while my "protection" is still on. I hover over the protection buff and see 9 seconds to go, I buff my self and start gaining some distance and as soon as the buff is off I beat the crap out of him.

3. Now checking my guild window to see there are 34 members online, I ask in guild chat whats up and members are responding we are in Epic Kashetta now grinding and protection our spawn as we get attacked by other groups every now and then.

4. I joined them and do some grind there for like 20 minutes ( got lucky with 1 epic too ) then one of the members suggest lets go to normal Kashetta and grind that camp for gems so we do it.
Once we port there few more members wanna join and asking in what instance are we .. checking the instance window I see 5 instances we told them come to Balder and lets make 3 groups.

5. Around 1.5h pass since I log in its 17:30 GMT and people are getting raid for our Black Citadel Raid.
The raid is over within 2h and around 10 members were put out of rotation so I ask them what are you guys up to, the raid is over ... they responded we are fighting with few russian guilds at city in kashetta, all of our raid moves there and what we see is almost 2 full raids of russian guild against several other guilds and us. After around 45 minutes of fighting there is like 28 members online we still have 1 raid group goin on but russians are logging off.

Well thats above average day in AoC.

Average day:
1. Raid either BRC or vistrix
2. Some group farming in epic or normal kashetta
3. 2 days per week we dont raid but are doing boosting groups .. 1 boosting group of lvl 60 and 70 and another 12 man raid for protection.
4. At least 3 to 5 mini games to boost up our guild points. ( 3 to 5 for me )
5. Some open world PvP group vs group or raid vs raid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are alone in AoC you will be bored as soon as you hit level 80, if you have great guild community behind you there is still lots of fun.

As for the new players at this point I would not recommend anyone to buy it and it would be better to wait and see if Funcom will deliver everything they are blabbering for past 3 months.

Even as solo and casual player you can have good fun leveling up but at the end you will be bored at the end, not to mention crashes and some stability issue especially if you PC is not like less then 1.5 years old.

Yes, but is that really any diffrent than any other MMO out there, the only diffrence between them is that Conan has been out for 3-4 months and Everquest2 has been out for 4 years, for years of adding content. Time is the diffrence, and Funcom's time ran out as in all the major MMO releases so far part from World of Warcraft.

I enjoyed EQ2 when it was first released back in 2004 aswell, even thou it was as "uncomplete" as Conan was at the time. They even changed many features i liked with EQ2 in the favor of all the whiners and made it worse´.

Conan and EQ2 is in many ways rather like, it has highend graphics(for it's time), great visual feel with zones.

I like AoC for it's breathtaking world, with so high detail never been seen in a MMO before.

Pitty your boxed in and cannot explore it

I like AoC for the fast and furious combat.

Pitty your combos fail if you actualy press them two fast! thats not fast and furious its dumbed down.

I Like AoC for trying to be somewhat unique in the MMO world with it's combo system.

Add a few extra buttons to mash not exactly unique.

I like AoC for the use of fatalities, every time i get a fatality I'm reminded why I like AoC so much.

minor cosmetic for me oly fun first couple of times.

I like Funcom for trying to create a better roleplaying experience than the rest of the MMO crowd. Even thou this is not complete in all areas they still get's my blessing for it.

so when did the player housing apear what you were able to furnish? able to have unique buildings? GM`s that actualy took part? hold in game events from the company?

(few games i know do these things)

I like AoC for creating some unique classes, like the Herald, a superb melee mage.

unique i disagree , un blalanced and standard classes with name changes

I like AoC for it's twink based combat, makes PvP something very special.

you want real twink based go to wow ;)

I like some of the quests and adventures much much more than many of the other MMORPG's out there.

so you get a quest and you get an arrow pointing to your objective and its hand held every step of the way, oh thats great!

As with all the good stuff there is things I dislike aswell naturally.

I dislike that there is actually only "one" way to go in Tortage, even thou the class quests differ, you will still end up killing Strom in the end anyway.

And in some of the negative feedback so often seen on this forum I partially agree, there has been alot of bad choices made from Funcom, promisses not fullfilled etc.

Well, this is "WHY I LIKE AOC"

Flame away, that's what you all do best :)

Look..As I said this is WHAT I LIKE in AoC and the reason I posted this was because someone said they would like to see someone's take on why a player can actually LIKE AoC.

I didn't ask for your opinion but every thing you wrote is bullshit acoording to ME.

You have ofcourse every right to think as you like, but do not post or quote a post just to troll or hate even more.

/please

Dear thark ,

This is a public forum any thing you post is open to quote or comment, thus its a forum.

So yes im am fully entitled to quote who ever i like as long as its not a personal attack falling with in forum guidelines, so there for you are incorrect.

As for calling what i said bullshit, im now calling on your credibility!

Is it incorrect if you try to perform a combo to fast it fails?

Is it incorrect the areas are boxed in and have invisible walls to stop you venturing out side much of the landscape?

Is it incorrect that other games have far more content geared towards roleplay with features i stated?

Rather than trolling i mearly pointed out where your post may be misleading to others!

Even if they are you views

As for Hateing the game/company what have i to gain loose?

Well funcom stand to loose money so there bound to lie.

Fanbois they just want more players , with out more people they have no raids / guilds and the game dies.

For me i like to make sure other gamers know the truth about a game with no sugar coating before they buy, its called being part of a gamers community.

I know it's a public forum but I only responded to a specific question in this thread.

Yes, for me they are incorrerct because.

I have never striked a combo to fast so it hasn't failed, I have on the other hand struck a combo wrong wich has made it fail. But that's part of this system.

I have never felt boxed in. The zones are in places very big, and as I'm used to play EQ2 this has not once bothered me the least.

I have never felt that they have less content than any other newly created MMO the first few months after going live.

Misleading ?? I stated that "This is how "I" feel about the game" How can that be misleading.

It may be hard to grasp but there is people that like AoC. For what it is and what It may become, but somehow some members of this forum has made it their job to constantly bring down AoC for this or that reason.

And even thou bullshit may be a hard word regarding your view's of AoC, It's more the lack of understanding and empathy towards other players of this game I was refering to when I said "bullshit".
At one point I told the OP that It's pointless to write that you like AoC in this forum, and that is what this is aswell. pointless !!!
