Are you actually retarded? What truth?
The truth that you seem to be trashing my perfectly valid opinion simply because it is not the same as yours?

Grow up.
You jest with me no?
Please for the sake of your credibility actually go back and read my posts.
Then compair them to your lame 'WoW is better' statment.
You never told me you were a wow player but i worked that out by your first post. Using words such as 'retarded' is a typical wow thing.
Infact lets make another comparasion.
In wow everyone calls everyone else 'retarded' and 'noob' in all manner of illiterate sentences. Every and I mean EVERY argument ive had with people in AoC has lead to a friendship and indepth conversation about game mechanics, or just worldly ideas. Ive never seen anyone call anyone else 'noob' in AoC so far.
If i can help one person today, lets make it you. Try to reread my posts and make a constructive critism of them, and notice the way ive stayed netural through out. I like wow as a game! I cant deny thats its fun, but if you read my posts you will see why i dont play.
But maybe im flogging a dead horse, maybe your too young to understand?
It is a shame I don't play WoW then, isn't it? Your views of a stereotypical WoW player don't quite seem to apply.
I admit in hindsight my "WoW is much better" line can be viewed as a one-sided argument, but it is not. I just could not be bothered to repeat what most people in this thread had given as arguments, and my only original attention was to point out that some people find AoC has a lack of character. I still think jumping to the conclusion that anyone is a 'fan boi' before they have shown themselves to be one is ridiculous.
P.S. the word retarded did not come about because of WoW, nor did it enter common usage because of WoW.
still enjoying wow and been playing since final beta.
have raided endgame in the past.
but RL now means i just get 1/2 nites a week for a couple hours to run a heroic 5 man with some people i know.
still a great social game if you can get in with some good people.
if you seriously wanna endgame raid then u need 20 hrs a week + ?
never played AoC and wont cos no time !
Wow is polished as a game despite Blizz having far too many tech issues still.

I don't think it's that clear-cut tbh. Tortage underwent a drastic re-designed late last year when they decided they were going to turn the island into an MMO - before that it was basically a signle-player tutorial for the game. It's no doubt better now (people killing each other in the Underhalls was simply awesome
). Secondly I don't think it's at all possible to bring the rest of the game up to Tortage's standards - adding voice-over to all the dialogue alone would certainly bankrupt them! No area in any other MMO is as lavish and richly-textured as Tortage, and in some ways they may have shot themselves in the foot by putting off people who realise that this level of quality can't be sustained throughout the game. Where people are going wrong is in assuming the rest of the game is crap - it's not! The post-Tortage zones are still absolutely stunning, the dialogue is still richer and more characterful than in any other MMO despite the lack of voice-acting (hell, you hardly have ANY dialogue at all in other MMOs, just a window full of text that you click "OK" to, and Conan has dialogue trees like single-player RPGs do - I know that everyone suddenly turning mute is a bit off-putting but when you think about the fact that this aspect of the game is STILL better than the competition even without voice, complaining about that is a bit churlish...). The so-called lack of content is not an issue at all until you get a month into the game or more - I still have a full quest log at 60, and I'll be offline for the next week or so, so I suspect by the time I come back they'll have put more stuff in to carry me up to the endgame.
The lack of polish that people are complaining about is in reference to bugs (none of them gamebreaking), balance issues (which are constantly being tweaked), and, in a lot of cases, making mountains out of molehills simply because they've jumped on the "Conan is unfinished" bandwagon.
I don't think this is in any way a Vanguard situation, because from what I hear that game was verging on unplayable. Resub day has come and gone and I haven't noticed any sharp decrease in the population. Two nights ago I logged in at about 4.30am because I'd been working all night and I wanted to chill-out for half an hour before going to bed. I decided to do some resource farming because, I thought, nobody would be about this late on a weeknight and all the resource nodes would be full. Boy was I wrong - there were three instances of the area I went to and every node I approached had already been farmed dry - so instead I decided to go on a rampage and chase people out of the area!

Im sure ive seen low lvl farming nodes outside of crafting areas, is that right? Im still slowly going through the basic crafting quests you can get.

Yeah but there's loads more nodes in the zones where the guild cities are, and, besides, I was on my way to Thunder River for my next set of quests so I was passing through Poitain anyway.

I'm afraid you are very much mistaken about the types of people playing AoC. A huge portion of them are made up of ex WoW players and words such as "noob" and "retard" are bandied around plenty by idiots who play this game regardless of whether they came from warcraft or UO.
If you haven't seen this then i can only guess you're on a PvE server which makes your statement kinda invalid.
People like you that make sweeping generalisations about players from a certain game are the same kind of people that helped start up groups such as the KKK. Try opening up the lid and having a peek outside, the world has all sorts of colours outside your little box.

wow is good fun, i never get bored as there are so many routes you can take with characture building. You can have set builds ie pvp spec, raiding spec, pve spec, loads! Plus you dont need a great pc to run it, which is a bonus!
Ok yeah sure you know what I spend my time doing better than I do.
Dark Age of Camelot, it's old but frankly it's the best PvP of any MMO yet and with graphics on full it isn't actually that bad looking, personally I prefered the graphical style of it to that of WoW and EQ2.

Seriously, you post in all the wow threads talking about the latest stuff in the game and your not even playing. You define the word 'Fan boi'.
And dont you start again, ive already delt with you!

Not really, and you can't say one game has more idiots than the other, unless you monitor the servers 24/7 and watch out for idiots.
I said be quiet.
I guess this is the part where I say "make me", right?
