im expecting alot from this video. 15 minute video atleast heck they've had enough time.It should show char. creation, UI, Crafting, mob AI,city building,skill trees then get into the combat side of things.No more of this soon,next month stuff put up or shut up devs. We've been loyal fans reward us for that.
I love what the game says its gonna be but it has got to the point where its time to put up or shut up! Give us something already.The last update said we will be getting a movie soon i hope its a good one that gives us actual info about the game.I also like that the lead guy said we would without a doubt get a chance to play it before we spend any money for it.

I lost my interest in MMO's ...
there I said it....
Since 2004 I am regular member of this forums. I played and tried everything , and i followed and took part ( community wise ) in most of MMOs in development. I seen this form of gaming blossom and vain.
And waited and waited and waited for the MMO messiah to come... but all what i seen was chain of disapointments. I am sure many of you feel this way...
And now 2008 , on the edge of final release of AOC and WAR it hits me...
This games are nothing like what 2004 mmo fan expected 2008 mmo would be
Where is the sandbox ? Where is community ? Where is roleplay ? Where is massive seamless world ?
It is replaced by
Instanced , battleground , grind , linear , limited , l337.
The new word is not community , group , simulation , open ended ... no
The new word is how to bring singleplayer experience into multiplayer game.
But why do i need that ? Singleplayer RPG's allready give me that in better way. Minus grind and minus sub...
Lack of content hidden by mandatory grind and raid...i am getting bored
Couple this with having no more than 10 hours to play weekly. When it seems to me that MMO design is targeted at population that has time and time on their hands...students, unemployed, stay home mom's.
Where is the world for us , the working class ?
And how about community ?
From one side we have the PVP crowd - that for some unfortunate reason draws (among others) emotionally chalenged , social misfits - that find the MMO to be sole medium of exercising their frustration and hate.
And on the otherside the PVE crowd - that for some reason attracts stay home mom and dad , emo poets and people that confuse MMOs with My Space ...
And me ... for all my non-perfection , my visit to MMO community made me worse - bitter ...
And to make all this worse. Is there anything on horizon that will change MMOs for better ?
AOC ? WAR ? ... Aion ?
Just a same ol'grind
Sandbox is abandoned concept. Virtual world is abandoned concept.
The mmo of the future are singleplayer games in multiplayer enviroment with added grind ...
I had enough ....
companies and devs dont listen and continue to shove this crap on us but until we stand up and stop buying these games even to try out of desperation and stop going back to whats out there just because theres nothing else to play nothing is gonna change
its great havin new SS and its was great to see the latest movie but i think everyone can aggree its to the point now with how long its been to put up or shut up.gives us a beta and take your place as the greatest mmorpg. jmo
that is the dev team that brought us the NGE must of been recorded in the planning stages.
In light of the recent update which changed the effects of certain AoE powers for the Necromancer, what is your favourite Mage archetype class in Age of Conan?
