Yes that's right I did the unthinkable, I resubbed to AOC. I've only played for a few hours so far, so I don't have much new information to give at the present time. I will say, I was surprised that some of the stability issues I had when playing around launch have been addressed.

My framerate has also improved slightly, with less overall slow down and no lag spikes as of yet. I tried each of my characters, which showed most servers are pretty desolate. On Deathwhisper(main) there's still a slight PVP presence throughout the server, noob lands included. Didn't find this on the others really, Some noob areas were a tad populated though ( I haven't tried tyranny yet, the other supposed high pop PVP server).

The guild I was in is dead, completely dead, seems to be the case for most of our allied guilds as well.

I did notice that they fixed the AO stat names ( shown in a screen here awhile back) .

I plan to make it to at least 60 this time around, I'm 35 on my main at present. I also plan to give as unbiased information as I possibly can. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, I have no personal interest in this game, which gives me no reason to spin anything I experience.

Please feedback objectively and honestly like you are doing

I particularly want to know about higher level content and PVP imbalances

Thanks :)

From what I gather so far in-game, that hasn't really changed as of yet. I'm going to be trying out test live tonight or tomorrow. I'll let you know what I hear from people there.

AO stat thing wasn't a hoax. I verified it shortly after checking out that screenshot here.

Speaking of dead guilds, I checked out my old server Forum yesterday just to see what had been happening with the big guilds. To my surprise 4 of the larger allied guilds (including my old guild) on the server had decided to merge into 1 to make raiding possible due to the low pop, but it seems there was some major political drama in the merge and it fell through at the last minute. Anyway it all spilled over onto the Gwahlur forums (its a funny read tbh, worth having a look) and the end result is a massive bunch of already frustrated people copping the last straw and leaving for WAR.

But on topic, good to hear framerates are on the improve, and if the spikes are fixed that is a major step too. I'm not sure that slow progress will bring back the masses though, but I'm slowly getting over my hate of Funcom so good luck to 'em.

Aoc what a waste of $50 mil

You will probably regret it soon. I was bored out of my mind by 45 and quit. Then some of my friends talked me into staying right before sub expired so I renewed. Only lasted 2 weeks then I quit and would not go back for any reason.

AoC for me was the most boring game I have ever played and the combat is so slow it would put you to sleep if not for the fact you have to hit 6 keys to do a combat move.

Dude, as long as you like that game, gratz! The most important thing its you enjoy what you are playing!

But for the rest of us, we would like to let the rest of the dev know that if you expect us to pay for beta, you are seriously wrong....

Right now i think only Blizz can stop a game if they feel that its sux, other company just push it out to earn money, not wrong to earn $, but in the wrong way as to lie to the players....

Then you, as an informed gamer, should stop buying games at launch. Right? Waite for 6 months.

In anticipation of AoC, I upgraded my computer and got the Collector's Edition of the game.

I deeply regretted it after a month
