No adrenaline rush in AoC so far.

The developers of Darkfall (who are located in Greece) announced their European publisher, so an American publisher should be announced soon.

Only beta will tell how good this game actually is, but we shouldn't have to wait too long for that now

This game sucks in so many ways.

I Unistalled it and cancelled my subscription.

MMO's are getting worse. I rather play rockband with friends or guitar hero solo. I even have more fun playing Wii Fit than AOC.

Single player games are going in the right direction and MMO's are not.

Spore will be nice because I like to CUSTOMIZE, not pick some lame ass class template.

Fuck AoC. I have more fun washing my car or mowing a lawn than playing a game like this.

I haven't played AoC or watched that many movies of the gameplay; but for some reason, I love to hear people bitch about it.

This is a well crafted argument, and I have learned much from your teachings. I look forward to my next lesson.

I have no personal experience with AoC but I am constantly going through the "this isnt UO or even AC or anything close to either of the two". I'm playing WoW right now and theres only so far you can go in the game. I got my Tier 6 PvE armor set, I've got my Gladiator title from the top % in arenas, bla bla bla. What the fuck else is there???


Don't get me wrong, UO > AC. HOWEVER, AC still got my blood pumping with the PvP. I do think it comes down to whether you lose something in PvP combat -- items, gold, experience, vitae(res sickness), murder counts and statloss OR ALL OF THE ABOVE -- as to whether it makes it the most adrenaline pumped experience that I've been looking for since the old MMO's. You know, get back to the whole Who the fuck has the balls to back up the shit talking and who doesnt thing. I honestly think thats what made UO and, to an extent, AC so fun. ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. My murderer in UO would lose WEEKS of getting his skills up if he died. Losing very expensive items in AC. Losing house keys.

Turn the tables.

Killing other reds and making them lose that shit. Killing someone and looting their house. Killing someone and taking their Hoary Mattekar Robe and Olthoi helm. You know, the WHATS NEXT feeling that the full-fledged world PVP had back in those games. Do you find that in the games nowadays? Nope. If only, IF ONLY, someone made a great game with PvP servers that offered serious, serious downsides to getting PK'd there might be an ounce of hype to find in future MMO's. I'll be waiting for that game until I die. You all let me know if you find it because from what I hear, AoC isn't it.

I know exactly what you mean. The fight was always fun, but getting to loot the corpse afterwards almost made the icing better than the cake.

Don't get me worng - I loved UO and played almost from day 1. However, in today's world there's no money to be made from a game like that. Your average MMO gamer simply won't buy and play something that hardcore. Because of this you won't find anyone willing to invest in a new UO so stop talking about how it's not like UO everytime a new MMO releases.

Prove it.

Again, Prove it. You can't predict the future my friend.

And yes, I will talk about it when I feel like it. Guess what? I enjoy it. You certainly don't have to read it.
