    I played this game for a few months after it was released but as soon as WotLC was released every1 stopped playing, there were no ppl to play with so i stopped.
    I never realized ppl still play, i guess i'll get a new copy later on.

    Wow, "it will be hands down the best rpg on the market" is pretty incredible.

    I hate the fact that ppl criticize this game incessantly. All the "gave the return trial another shot and uninstalled the game after 5 min" is just bs. I got to play the game 1 year ago after launching on American servers and it wasn't as buggy as some ppl claim. True, PvP was atrocious but that's because of some truly retarded players and unbalanced guilds. Now, after a 9 months break, I got back to the game and let me tell you: it ROCKS! I currently moved to the UK, so I can compare the European servers with the American ones and the difference is abysmal. Not only that the subsequent patches radically changed the game content completely but also, the prayers' community is a lot more mature now and...well, fun! I still occasionally play WoW, don't get me wrong, but AoC takes my whole time now... It's just an incredibly fun ride and I recommend it to anyone! Stop throwing so much s#^& at FunCom and just enjoy the game for its worth! Cya on Crom!

    I had a lvl 60 Dark Templar during launch and quit due to content issues and decided to come back during the 2-week free period and this game is a great contender. If you're looking for a mature alternative to WoW (content wise and player wise, WoW at this point is for children), AoC is a worth your money and time.

    i dont think this game is coming for 360, and if it is then they need to hurry up with it

  • falloutguy318

    when it does come out on the 360 I hope 360 players and pc players can play on the same servers.

    I have been playing for about 3 weeks and I just love this game... Its good to look at and the flow of lvling is smooth and fun to play. I guess it started out with bugs and crap but I have no idea because I just started playing and it has been a smooth ride for me... now a lvl 60 pom.

    well over 5 million people play WoW it may be hard to turn them around. What is going to be needed to top it is something thats free and awesome.

    Great game, way better than WOW.Superior graphics, sound, more realistic gameplay and the story itself make this game a winner.By the time i bought the game, the patches allready came and had fixed things up...

    PLEASE Do Not Look at this Review Score and Buy this game.

    The Person Reviewing this game Clearly Did not Play this game To Lv Cap. Sure AoC is Fun When trying to Lv up for the 1st time, Before the lv50-80 Hump. At max Lv there is not enough content to make that time Spent Worth the Price of admission.

    Read there Message boards and see what a mess that place is. If your Reading this looking for something new to play, Check out Warhammer online Its a Far better Run game.

    Dont take my word on it. go to Google and type in "Funcom Stock". That should show u How good this game is.
