Is it so hard just to read the few post(s) above?

is not hard but is quite confusing..

Beta is free, but when it goes commercial you need to buy the game and it has the monthly fee as well like world of warcraft.

AoC looks amazing, hope its good!

Will cc's like autosurf be able to host AoC on the computers as a temporary solution to my terrible laptop till I get a nice desktop by the end of the year?

Considering this game, releasing in the matter of weeks. I'm between this and Warhammer Online, but warhammer online is sooooooo long away.

This game graphics are amazing.

The latest and biggest drama is about Siege Warfare. Up until 48 hours ago, for the last couple of years 100v100 has been stated as the numbers involved.
Then a pre order player got his box extra early, and when looking through his game manual, upon coming to the siege section it suddenly read 48v48.
This player then immedietly went to the forums with his discovery shocking the rest of the userbase just as much until a community rep confirmed it was true while also
shifting into extreme damage control and spin mode by saying 'these numbers are not set in stone'.
It's in the freakin game manual and as far as everyone knew by your words it was 100v100.

It took a leak in the manual to expose an enormous game change that severely impacts peoples impressions of the game and effectively portrays Funcom as deceptive in maintaining the 100v100 claim to the unkowning userbase even though it had already no longer been true for some time.

Wow, this is not a stunt I would want to pull off if I was part of the AoC team. It'll be too early to say whether it would affect the playerbase as there is much more to the game besides the guildvguild warfare. I suppose it comes down to the players preference, if the siege war is an integral part of the game to them, it'll be like telling a WoW player The Burning Crusade was released without the Outlands. Just a scenario.

What baffles me though, if AoC had planned this change all along, why wasn't there an announcement prior to the release of the game. It's like deliberately aggravating the new players and giving the other competitors, ie WAR to lure the players away. Right on dopp, GG for the time being.

Its bad publicity for sure but on the other side, 100 v 100 is hard to do without killing people's computers and crashing the server. Even WAR already said it won't be 100 v 100 all in once scene. A number of people will get ported to fight/defend certain areas to evenly distribute it.

They should have said ahead of time, no harm in that imo.

hmm nice.... I wonder where can I get the game ASAP.. I also wonder if i get to keep the...eeem.. trophy*cough*head*cough*... ahemm...ahmem.. **.. I would love to hang them on wall..

wonder why its such a big deal doing 100 vs 100?
MMOs like Planetside and Shadowbane has more than 100 vs 100 at each time. I can still remember waking up for a siege that had 350 vs 150 players (or so) in Shadowbane... of course some of us folks crashed out..

Oh yea.. and this was like 6-8 years ago! surely technology would have improved now...

so where can we buy this?

Hmm pcgame sets the price at 199.90 and it's on PreOrder. Wonder if I should wait for a drop in price.

So anyone here started playing already? How is it so far?

So far the reviews are pretty good. Think I will be getting this tomorrow . Hope to see some of you guys in game ^^.

I would like to buy this game but i still wondering wether there is asia/asean server in AOC.
I don't want join EUROPE/USA/OCEANIC server sure ping like 2xx~4xx LOL....
Anyone bought and played this game yet? which server do you joined..? got lag or etc??

There are no SEA or Asian server yet, but "maybe" in the future

>.< so hard to buy the game, many stores wont sell to here. Just hoping to see it at play-asia tomorrow or before the end of this month.

I got a buddy who just got his Limited Edition today. It comes with some Buddy passes and am thinking of using 1 of them to try out the game. Unfortunately he just told me that the buddy passes have been temporarily disable due to the huge voulume of players, till they put in more servers.

1st impressions from my friend is beautiful graphics, and very good and engaging (and violent) combat. Also, because it has a Mature rating (18 M), there is nudity, where female toons can run around topless. Alreay, he's telling me about hysterical stories of naked female toons doing umm..umm..funny things LOL
