I agree completely... even my friend enjoyed it!

AoC was alaways worth playing and paying for playing, i'm yet to understand how the fact of it going F2P will make it any better as a game ;)

I dont think it has made or will make it a better game, but in the long run they will gain more subs this way because many were dishearted when the game launched and had bad memories to relate to when even thinking of coming back.

More players = larger server community and more active and lively servers = livelier ingame world + easier grouping = better game

@OP: nice job, but I kinda had expected more show around of various gameplay aspects or environments in AoC, while effectively it's just a slice of 10 min of unedited gameplay. Nothing wrong with that though.

It;s not f2p that makes the change, it's the new ruleset.

Well before the F2P was just a trial but people like micro transactions more than P2P. Just look at Runescape, Perfect World, And the list goes on.

What i meant was, the game itself didnt cahnged, it allways been there, the mechanics fight etc.. only the ruleset on the new B&G pvp server, and from all what i've read FC did a good job on showing that this game still kiks ass.

For thsoe who tought that the population was that bad all i can say is that on Crom i never, and i say never add a problem on getting a full party in under 30 minutes, sometimes more on the 24 man...but hey i remember waiting more in WoW to get a 25 man going...so whats the fuzz !! ^^

As for the new freemium model...well all F2P are an ilusion cuz in the long run you will end up spending the same or even more for the same ammount of playing time, the only thing is worth taking from the shop is actualy the mounts, this will take out a lot of faction grind for a lot of ppl =)

I agree, I understood what you meant sorta. As for the micro transactions you can get all the way to max level with only having to pay about 15 dollars. Then after that you have to start subscribing, but for only 15$ (Rise of the Godslayer xpac) thats not to much to ask for a trial of your game. Im really for these type of systems, but not in all games because if your game gets the point where u have to do this, then you know it failed and you know you must change in some way. From the reaction of the players I think this was the right move for sure. 

Thanks for the comment!

What server are you all playing on? Im playing on Fury! 

F2P restricted to few classes, item cash shop that offers pay2win pvp gear.

It's still the same crap game it always was.

I dont PVP ..so is it still worth coming back for a person who played the first 3 months, left.. came back 6 months later for a month.. and left again...

will i get enough from it do you think to warrant the time to re-immerse myself?

Thanks

A quick 'review' of the 'relaunch' from my perspective...

It's a decent game. I'm playing it right now on the B&G 'Rage' server, and last time I played it was at launch. I can say the game changed a fair bit since then, some for the beter, most notably in PvE with the addition of a sizable list of PvE dungeons and zones, but some for the worst aswell, as you are looking at a huge grind in faction points and alternate advancement points, mostly the later if you intend to stay competitive in PvP (note: you also need to buy the expansion for this aswell as have an active sub).

Funcom is still Funcom, anyone with past experience with this company should take note that they are still the same greedy bastards that pull the same marketting tricks they always had. 'F2P' as they call it is nothing but a timeless trial with a large list of limitations, including ones not listed. You got no hope of playing competitive as an 'F2P' player. To add to that, the itemshop features pay2win items such as self-ressurection potions not obtainable ingame, and complete tier 1 PvP sets for 50-60 euro, and let me tell you right now over half the players you fight in minigames at level 80 will wear full sets of this, and rape you. Thankfully, obtaining PvP 2-set items isn't too difficult and those are a lot beter than the first set, but time will tell when Funcom decides to also sell this set in the store (and I'll cancel my sub the day that happens).

I can't really comment on the PvE side of things as I have not done much of it.

Still, that's the negative. The positive is the game plays alright and functions as a good filler untill some beter games come out.

if it kicked ass it would'nt be F2P

 Of course, but F2P is a way to grow a community. Look at LOTRO, wasnt the best game at launch, but over time its proven to be a good alternative or even a main game for some. I play it every now and then and I hated launch but love what they have done in the F2P system.

Conans the same thing, I actually bought Age Of Conan on launch to see that it was completely unplayable, now over time Funcom has increased the games quality, but increasing the games quality doesnt take the bad taste that was left in previous subscribers, thus they had to make it F2P to grab a new audience and to grow back their previous one.

Thanks,
