This alone is enough for me. I was in the AO launch, it was a clusterf*** mess even compared to the original everquest launch. The game was unplayable literally, server crashes every hour or less, i quit in frustration 2 months later as nothing improved. It's sad really because AO has one of the better character/world systems at the time with vehicle/jets and all that fancy stuff, it's just not playable...
By the time they fixed the game to a stable state about a year late, the server was pretty much empty.
The only highlight of that mess was one of the AO staff promised to shave his head bald if the game didnt have a stable launcy, needless to say he was bald like 2 mins after the launch lol....
AoC looks to be a repeat...i will wait for all the fanboy crying after the production release to decide whether or not it's worth it.
This game is still not dead and buried yet? zzz.....

thanks guys, a couple more questions, i just started playing.
1)Just to confirm, the only hack/cheats are bots and gold seller spams? For example noone is using speedhacks or any of those that will affect the actual gameplay?
2) Also i understand as part of the premium service you get to somehow hit a dummy and gaine exp. So does that mean, those that paid the service can legally use a bot to hit the dummies? I always a bunch of people outside of town hitting the dummies nonstop.
They have to be bots right? i mean who would want to sit there and hit the dummies for hours!
Got burned by so many of those free to play item shop korean games.
But this one looks interesting, can the current players tell me honestly the bot/cheat/hack situation in this game?
Also any issues with account getting wiped, losing items, etc..due to server problems?
thanks
Man it's never about making money, but having a fun game experience. I think these type of game / economic model is great, especially for someone tired of all the disney-hold-your-hand mmorpgs (started by wow)
For one, there is no selling currency on the blackmarket and rampant inflation / collapse of market prices that's associated with almost every single mmorpg. It's REAL money, people take it much more seriously vs buying 1000k gold for 10 bucks online.
Also related, as the entire game is based on real money. People tend to play the game much more seriously, resulting in a better game experience for everyone.
The only thing is i just cant stand the graphic, it's just terrible like putting salt in my eyes. Will definitly check it out once they have the new engine.
In your opinion, what kind of gamer are you?
