You should see what's happening on the forums there right now, it's more entertaining than the new batman movie XD (which says a lot as I really enjoyed Dark Knight)

It is sad that the best thing about AoC is the entertainment from reading the forums.

until you are too good at it like me and get banned from jealous player mods.... 

I actually liked AOC, i recently cancelled my account... There was just nothing left to do..... i hit 80 maxed out crafting....Went on raids in the few raid zones ( maybe didnt complete them all) but i experienced them...... even tried pvp for a lil while.... but having 2 groups of people 10 levels higher than you camping all the rez points and zone outs/ins, even if you switch instances got a lil old....but pvp was fun for a bit......NOW ?

They are promising content but the content isnt coming out fast enough to keep me in-game......its pretty much turned into just logging in on patch day with fingers crossed hoping they add something new.....other than that theres no reason to play.......sure i could make alts ( made a couple)  .... i do like AOC (or did) but not enough to go thru the world all over again....

I would say its biggest flaw was just the was the game was made period and i see other mmos following the same dead end path--

Picture a funnel, you know the thing you use to pour oil in your car------it has a large opening and gradually gets smaller and smaller--------well turn that sucker upside down and you have AOC------ once you past the lil solo instance--- you come to tortage, with many quests,places to go hunt,you feel like theres alot going on....the higher level you get the more restricted you feel======= and it should feel the other way around-------the game should open up the higher you get,giving you more to look forward to the farther you get in the game but it doesnt

They need to start making mmos from the end and go backwards--- i would much rather struggle thru a craapy beginning knowing that good things are in the end game----- but i really dont like struggling thru a game and getting less and less content  and a smaller more restrictive world the higher level you get--------ALL JUST SEEMS BACKWARDS TO ME--- JUST MY 2 CENTS

AoC...

I'm not sure if it's dead or not, but I didn't see very many people in the game while I was playing.  The largest group of people I ran into would've been about 8.  Over 40 hours of actual playtime, I think I may have run into about 150 people or so (instances may play into this?  I don't know). 

For me, where the game failed... it wasn't anything special.  It didn't do anything to really set itself apart from games like DDO or LotRO, imho.  The artwork wasn't bubbly/cartoony, but it also wasn't anything incredible, either.   It certainly wasn't anything worth enduring all of the performance issues that others reported.

The combat... underwhelming.  Maybe if this was a single player console RPG, then it might be something more tolerable, to me. 

About the adult content... while it not being the reason that I bought the game, I never saw any.  No t-n-a... a few cusswords... and no gore, that I saw.  So, if that was supposed to make the game different... it didn't.

A 'bright note'... I didn't have the performance issues that others report.  On 3 different systems with various specifications, I failed to have one performance issue.  (I played the game about 20 minutes on a laptop and didnt' have any issues there either.) 

Again, since I didn't see many people playing, I hopped into the first guild that I was invited to.  I hoped that it might bring somewhat of a 'community' aspect to the game at least.  Well, the guild was pretty much a crew of about 14... each solo-grinding with the GuildLeader saying how we needed to hurry because he wanted to do 'this or that'.  Forget getting help doing anything (1.. .if you ask for help, then you were perceived as a newb OR 2.. 'I did that solo, why can't you?'/'I did that a long time ago, forgot what/where/how that was'... then 'see 1'.).

Let's say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning's reading, it would be a Twinkie 35 feet long, weighing approximately 600 pounds.

That's a big Twinkie.

AOC forums are worse then SWG when NGE was hitting.

Funcom treats customers worse then SOE ever did.

Maybe this is all a ploy by SOE to make themselves look better

Free vet month in SWG the same month AOC is crashing and burning, it's a conspiracy I TELL YOU!

In reality free vet month did cause me to return to SWG. I feel so dirty for subbing again, but NGE is much improved from when it started. I still like pre nge better but no other MMO has ever really replaced SWG.

Another SWG vet coming out of the closet. I am having fun reconnecting with old friends I havn't talked to in a few years. I actually have seen small droves of vet Elder Jedi logging in saying the same thing I am.

Can this be Return of the Jedi in SWG?

Maybe, maybe not, but it will atleast hold me over till Bioware takes the MMO scene by force (pun intended)
