lol immiment right ?

my on-ice-conan-chars is on fury and aqualonia
 
My little Demonologist is prolly frozen stiff in some glacier in one of those ice levels. Can't care less for AOC at this point. Back to playing LOTRO.
 
I moved all my characters to Grom [the PvE server] where they now lay and gather dust until i find interest to play it again. Got a lvl 80 Bear Shammy and then a whole bunch of lvl 20-50 chars.
 
SA server? As in a legit one or not?

either way im amped to know this. where did u hear about it?
 
I haven't tried AOC as yet as I heard that the content is lacking once you reach a higher level? Dunno if this is still the case?

Judging by the cool ( xyber :) ) response, I would imagine that AOC is not that popular at the moment?

Well i loved AoC, great graphics, great atmosphere and probably the greatest intro 20 levels of any MMO i played. The first 20 levels is up there with single player RPGs ..a plot and all. After that it tapers off and then it becomes like all other MMOs...grinding levels, gathering gear , doing a few dungeons [5-mans] and so on.

The end game is primarily suppose to be Guild vs Guild PvP'ing/Raid, so if you're not all set in a big guild by then , the game will somewhat "end" for you at lvl 80. So the mistake funcom made [imho] here is leaving a massive gap between Solo/small groups and Large Groups. The game is extremely solo/5-man friendly until you hit lvl 70+..and then there's suddenly nothing for you to do as a solo'er/5-man team....

Compared to World of Warcraft in contrast had all these "small steps" once you hit lvl 70. You had Regular 5-mans -> "Heroics" -> "10-mans" and then "25-mans" at the end game. Inbetween all that you had the dailies, the battlegrounds and the arena to grind gear and gold.

What i DO enjoy is the combat system which is alot more engaging than most other MMOs. WoW is point-click-wait type of play, where AoC has this combo system, you either hate it or love it ;).

Even if you play it for the 1 month free you get with the box, it's a good play. I think people seem to believe an MMO is only good if you play it for YEARS. If i played an MMO for 6 months then i believe it was a solid entertaining MMO. Just like i don't play GTA forever, after 2 months i'm done and i'm not suddenly gonna give it a bad score...

I also thought the first 20 levels were awesome. I just couldn't carry on after reaching level 48 though. Fantastic graphics but at the time a lot of the quests were broken and the lack of content just sucked. The professions also sucked - not sure how they are these days. I did however also enjoy the combo system more than the point and click in WoW!
 
yes... sorry for the delay, but as soon as i know more i will update...and if it is true, i am planning to pay-to-move some of my char's to that server.. currently funcom is offering that service... some are free but only to specific servers...also they have a char rename option cumming up and a loooong anticipated update, currently moste "game" issues have been corrected, and it plays very nice even on my slow 40kb/s connection..with a latencey of 300-600ms...but in the new patch update they even out the classes a lot more, and some like the guardian gets some power and def upgrades as well as Dark Templar...hopefully they will suceed in making te classes more even..
 
pay to move? that doesnt sound like a 'free' server. are they planning a server for us? that sounds fishy

Well tbh, i don't see Funcom opening a special server for us. Especially since they actually killed like half their servers in March. This is why there's a free server transfer in the first place , to facilitate the fact that Funcom closed down most of their servers to increase the populations on select servers.

This is why in Europe (English) there are only like 2 PvE, 2 PvP servers in total....(in fact i think it's less than that)

If the subs were to increase again, they sure as heck won't bother opening little servers way down here though, they would re-open previously closed servers. I was on Wildsoul when AoC launched, that server is gone now, everyone moved to Fury....if Fury gets too full they would probably just open Wildsoul again.

So i can only conclude this would be a private/illegal server or someone is confusing "lots of south africans on a european server" with "a south african server".

Agree. Not even a game as big as WoW got a legit server here, why would they put one in for AOC? Maybe there are more SA player on some of those servers than Euro player .. I doubt.
 
Hi,

Im looking for someone in the Cape Town area who has AOC patched up, the problem is I installed my AOC recently and the updates are sitting on 11gb to download. Would anyone be so kind to help out.

Much Appreciated.

How is AOC recently? I got it at launch and as stated by previous posts.. it was :(


I got a email from funcom saying "Come try for 14 free days" and im just wondering if i should. whats it like now compared to launch ?
 
My characters are on ice as well. But i would be keen to try the 14 days free. It is just a matter of getting the files.
