• • Open seamless world like wow or is it gonna be like Aoc?

  • People can be pretty brainless, WoW is seamless as best as you're going to get until technology and software developement is forwarded.

    You get to a new zone in WoW and not only can you look across the line as if it weren't there but you won't feel any loading because it's preloaded. 

    Old DaoC was the same way except for dungeons and rvr zones.

    I played NWN and EQ2 which are highly instanced but those games rocked serious addiction so i didn't mind a bit.

    WoW is seamless where as you can run on your mount through zones and won't have to go through a gate or a load time or whatnot and that includes dungeons until you get to an instance portal for boss or raiding type encounters.

    Don't exaggerate for the sake of trolling just to make a pointless point.  Anyways Warhammer is going to be pretty much like the other posts state. 

    I'm about to start up again in WoW til WAR comes around since D3 isn't out for who knows how long.

    Would like a trial key if anyone has one out there, tried to get one months back but go no response.

    Would love to try this game out and finally see if it's decent. Specially since i waited and now won't get AoC though maybe in several patches that'll be a good game too.

    Thanks for any responses.

• • 6/23, the day FC destroyed the game!

  • Wow, this game has gotten some serious hating coming down from the sky.  I haven't played it yet and frankly it's seeming like a better and better idea with all the constant posting i hear.

    I waited to play this thing and anticipated like mad as everyone else did but you know it's sounding more to me like it really is still in developement. 

    I'm getting the impression also that the people that are defending this game so much are maybe hoping it was better than it actually is and since there aren't any other games out right now you haven't much else to turn to. 

     I feel sorry for some people truly cause i know how it is to wish something were what you'd expected.

    Personally i'm not playing any mmorpg right now, but am doing closed warhammer beta, i just can't see any games on the menu that are getting my attention to play. 

    I wish otherwise but it's sort of sad.

• • New player looking for suggestions

  • I would suggest x-roads for around your level unless you have the expansion then you could go try out the Blood Elf area with lots of quests.  Best way to get there would be take the blimp to Undercity and then walk in the entrance but not down inside UC and to your right will be a portal to take you to the Capital BE city.

    I like to level up in the forest around UC myself as i've played a lot of undead characters.

    Also you want to get into pvp as soon as you can if you're into that, and duel people whenever you can to get an idea of what class you want to really play. 

    Best suggestion i can give for levelling up is skip the elite instances that require too much time to get groups together for that loot you want because you'll be outlevelling it soon enough.  Don't grind mobs for xp and don't do the instances til end game pretty much.

    Just stick to quests that you can do that don't require you to spend two hours to get small returns.

    X-roads has a lot of nice small quests that can get you going, basically you can go to the nearest next area from there then get those quests etc.

    Also spend time doing crafting and keeping your weapon skills up to level.  I went with engineer and mining and had a blast with those.  Bombs, a flying mount etc. lots of fun, and also metal ore sells really easily.

    Only reason to do instances is if you just want to enjoy them for what they are and aren't interested in powerlevelling, i had worked on 3 different warlocks that i maxed out and then various other alts i tried, so to me i did the instances as i could and had a lot of fun in them.

    Anyways i'm not playing now (been out since november 07) but beta testing warhammer so . . . enjoy, that game is a monster and one of the best to play and waste time in.

• • Anyone of the Lotro players tried Aoc?

  • I bought LotRo and am 39 years old this month so the comments about maturity etc. in AoC versus LotRo get to me. 

    Played WoW a considerable amount of time and the community can be a pill to swallow but also i found some really dedicated gamers in there that became friends and generally found WoW had good people in it. 

    LotRo i did beta and then bought the game and played it for a month or so but cancelled though may return someday with the new classes. Definately a game i liked and would want to return to.

    I'm used to DaoC and played that a lot as my first main mmorpg and fell in love with it and the community.

    Currently beta testing Warhammer online and although i can't say anything more then that i will say that i won't buy AoC after the countless things i've heard about it parelleling Vanguard release.

    The zoning thing i hear repeated sounds like EQ2 to me which i played for half a year or more and loved though.  But i understand it's not the same once you've played in WoW or even old DaoC with seamless zones.

    AoC looks pretty decent but i'm not buying it as from what i've heard it's not just nice looks that will make the game enjoyable.
