Just a quick question....

Is any1 going back to this game due to the new expansion coming out?

I loved this game so much, but too many people stopped playing, i've re-rolled for a month, gona give it a little shot when the =TFU= servers are quite.

If you want to join us just pop on vent.
 
when you both mean you considering another go,do you mean you will be buying the new expansion pack or just playing the original?
 
I really enjoyed AoC when it came out. Thought it wass much better than Aion and WAR. I had to quit because of the constant crashing tho. I think it was a memory leak to do with xp-32 but can't really be sure. I've got a better pc now tho so would like to give it another go.

Anyone know what content the new expansion brings? I can't find much info on it other than marketing stuff. Will there be new classes? What level do you need to be to play the new zones etc?

Also i hear you can make one level 50 char now. Is that on any server? I think i had a level 65+ bear shaman on a PvE server so could I make a level 50 char on a PvP server?
 
I'll warn everyone, that tortage isn't what the full games like, the in game voice acting cuts out a LOT later on. Unless they've changed it, I got to the mid 30's last time, and the voice acting cut out the second I left tortage.

It really was a huge loss to the game.
 
Might give it a bash - was playing WoW / WAR when it was first released so missed it but if its considered to be better than WAR and Aion then it cant be that bad...

I actually started mucking around with my audio settings in windows, thought something had broken :rolleyes:

If they'd bother to actually do a welcome back week, I'd certainly check it out.
 
I never did try this game, was playing loTR and then WAR when it released, too many people reporting way too many bugs at the time...


How does it compare to say WAR? I liked playing WAR (PvP/RvR) maybe I'll download the trial I suppose and give it a go...
 
PvP is quite advanced (as far as mmo's go). Trouble is, your either very good at it or totally crap and die all the time.
I thought i was good for a bit, but that changed. Never got frustrated with pvp in WoW or WAR but with AoC i did (i also did with EQ2).
I think i just couldnt be bother with mmo's by the time i got to AoC. The best was WoW and as soon as i had got as far as i could with that it got boring.

Now is the time to try it, from what i can see and hear its finally fixed....

tbh loads of people i know are re-rolling or starting to play from fresh, this game will take off again i recon, gfx are like nothing out there, game play is getting far better!

hehe had to take screenshot... its not showing the res correct tho, the gfx in game are far better

Is this still like £15 per month? I can't test the game out because the trial download decided to fail, so i guess i'll re-download it again or i'll just buy the game on the cheap.

Edit: Nevermind, found out myself, going to buy the game.
 
No offence, but i'm getting bored of people asking if it's a WoW comparison, if it was, it would have more players than WoW has atm and it wouldn't be set in Conan's time and it has a more grown up approach to graphics and gameplay than WoW has.
 
IT rather blows to be honest, combat was supposed to be fantastically new and exciting, rather than lots of uninvolved, but interesting attacks that give some more interesting tactics in fight, its hit left right or centre and another button or two here and there.

It had some nice features and looks decent enough. It certainly doesn't look superb, the first area, and Tortage aren't half bad, but not great, animations I always thought were pretty poor, combat actions I wasn't impressed with and outside of Tortage everything suddenly gets very sparse and very dull.

Scenery is decent, but there just wasn't much of anything anywhere. AI is dumb, fights were boring and repetitive(no different to any MMO), story died after Tortage and became instantly boring quests.

I played it, well, over a year ago and crash wise it was completely fine, it played fine, it wasn't tough on hardware, it was just boring.

As so often happens, when you try to be innovative and new, just for the sake of being new, you often screw something up, for me thats what they did with combat.
