  • The game is rated "M" so I think it's 17+, not 18, at least in the US.  I'm not sure about Britain.  They don't really have a 17+ rating.  They have a 15+ and an 18+.  That used to cover just film but they've widened it to include games, too.  I'm not sure if the ESRB is even observed outside of North America.   Hehe... surely not in Norway!  Maybe someone knows?

    I just don't see how AoC is going to be able to get enough subs to keep a development team actively employed.  Even if they are able to get it in somewhat of a working order, the high end specs mean than only a handful of Gamers will be able to play it.  I am sure they paid a lot to develop it so they need a blockbuster.  The crazy zones and loading screens, the spam combat, and the super high system specs may not make AoC a total flop but it will be close.

    It will not be as much of a debacle as Vanguard because I don't think many people will even try it as they know their machine can not handle it.  If I had to guess I would say AoC will have about 100k box sells and maintain around 10-15k subs.

    These games are failures because these companies do not understand that graphics and high system specs are not what people want.  They want fun.  Look at Team Fortress 2.  It has low system specs and big fun.  We need the MMO equivalent to TF2.  I don't really care if the graphics look like Everquest1 as long as the game is fun.

    After the last update, before OB ended, I was able to run the game pretty well.  There were still some buggy bits but my performance was pretty good.  I don't have anything close to a high end system.  AMD Anthlon 64 3200+, 2 GB RAM and a GeForce 7800 GT.  I think the game will do okay.  Having said that, I'm sure it still leaves behind a lot of people.  Hopefully, it'll work well for enough people to support siege wars.  The last thing you want in a large scale war game is a low population.

    Yeah, yeah... men say they play females because they have to look at the arse so why not make it a nice one... I'm not buying it.  It goes waaaay deeper than that, all the way back to who was breast fed and who wasn't.  You might be fooling your fellow gamers, but you're not fooling the shrinks! 

     

    Anyway, I'm female and I always make female characters.  My female characters seriously don't care what gender you are IRL.   She will regard you based on what you roll in the game. 

    So like we can talk about our frilly underwear and like like like my new braw.. like yeah! and like we can dance all day for free loot! CHYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Yes, of course, if that's what you like to chat about, then knock your little socks off!    You might get killed a lot, but you'll make an adorable corpse!
