Hello everyone

I am a returning AoC player and I have 2 level 80's and have purchased the ROTG expansion

When I retuned I found out that I was completely locked out of Khtai and all of my AA's were gone, I could not do ANY raids, and the worst is I cannot participate if seige warfare, which in my opinion was almost on scale with a keep seige in DAOC, except you had even more at stake (you could loose your keep in the BK). The seiges in this game were a pure hour and a half blast!

I am willing to pay less than $100 if there is any way I could have acess to ROTG, all raids and seige warfare. WIthout having to sub. Im interesed in buying that new mini expansion that came with the movie but I dont want to have to sub for them to actully give my acesss to something I already bought.

Is this possible?

I fear that there is none. While the Turan adventure pack can be bought and enjoyed also as f2p player there is no other way to play the Khitai expansion stuff or the raids without actually subscribing.

Oh and although I played AoC for years and enjoyed it I still consider comparing the clumsy attempt at sieging with the great RVR in DAoC some sort of blasphemy.

Is there a reason why you don't want to sub?  Subbing is cheaper than $100 bucks and gives you acess to everything.  The game is a lot of fun now I recommend you try it out!  Hell for $63 bucks could give you six months of sub time...thats a lot of time to see if you like the game...and you could use the rest of that $100 bucks to buy the Turan pack and a bunch of other stuff in game (mounts, vanity, master/pvp xp potions, etc.)

Even when you owned it before you still had to sub to access it so what's changed? Also, for less than $100 you can sub till SWTOR, which is what everyone will be playing by years end anyway.

Playing: Diablo 3, Tribes Ascend, Skyrim

Disappointed by open beta feedback: GW2
Waiting for: TSW

Let's be honest, the only people who are bothered by DRM are pirates. Companies have a right to protect their IP.

You could buy day passes to kithai and whatever raids you want to go to, but unless you plan to just go once or twice to them it'll be much cheaper to just subscribe.
