Silly Galb...

I too like the armor, even though higher level armor looks almost like lowbie amor.
But hey, it's realistic, unlike WoW, which is really sci-fi as Koz said.

So far I've been liking the game quite a lot.
Atleast when playing the Bear Shaman, your efforts really do count.
As your placement, position etc really makes a difference in a fight, so turning that 1vs6 fight into a win is really rewarding.   ;D

I'm having a great time with aoc. It's true that the game still has many bugs and the people who have power-levelled all the way to 80 are starting to complain about the lack of endgame content. These people are forgetting though that the game is still really a matter of a few weeks old and are expecting it to be as polished and full of content as WoW. Let's not forget that WoW was also full of bugs and had only a fraction of the content that it now has, when it was released. WoW's current state is the result of three years of patching and content releases after all.

Aoc is what I've always wanted to play - an MMO with a realistic and serious setting. The Avatars look great and are beautifully animated. The armour and weapons are believable. The horses look good and we have mounted combat.

Like Kozzie, I abandonned the Aquillonia server and rerolled on Corinthia. Aquillonia is full of premade guilds formed by WoW and Everquest veterans, who are now constantly bitching at eachother. Corinthia is much more laid-back and friendly with a community which is slowly growing and evolving (just as it should be). Unlike Koz, I haven't found a lack of rp. I've had several nice encounters with random strangers and once out of the starting zone I've seen very little ooc stuff or bad behaviour.

Edit:-

Sad to hear that Kozzie has given up aoc for the time being. Like I said, aoc is a great game and I'm really enjoying the whole feel of it, but I do miss being in a guild.

I've just spent a bit of time looking at the site of the guild that Vlog posted in this thread and I have to say that I'm very impressed with what I saw - so right now I'm seriously considering rerolling (again  ;D ) back to Aquillonia and throwing them an application.

Gotta say, that outfit is rocking, Akesha. I've said it before, but the artistic style in that game is sweet - especially the costume design and the environmental designs are stellar.

You can have a fur kilt! Gief! :o

I tried to resist, I really, really did ... but I couldn't. I've set up my own guild in Age of Conan.

Will I never learn?    :-\ /sigh.

Age of conan always seemed a bit...dull imo. It dosnt really bring much to the MMO scene, the different combat system isn't that spectacular, the graphics dull...and...well there's bad design choices everywhere. No, I'm staying with WoW.

lvl 56 ranger myself.

they way i saw the game:

walk to a npc/look at loading screen/walk to another npc/loadingscrren again/walk in a inn/loadingscreen.. alright, imersion killed/loggout.


in other words, if evrything is instanced, how the hell is it a M(massive!)morpg?
feels more like Guidlwars, wich alot of people enjoy very much, but im not one of em.

dont care very much for the gfx, game play and atmosfeer is what im looking for, the combat system is alright i guess, not so UBER fantastic as youre lead to believe tho.

oh, crafting system is isnt theire, it doesnt exist witch was a big no no for myself aswell,
