[AoC] Age of conan set to fail more

[Dominian]

I bought AoC hoping for a new UO, i.e. ffa pvp and player towns. With all failures in deployment, server and client stability and more importantly poor design and ergonomics, I was hard pressed to play for more than an hour or two at a time. I remember trying out WoW and loving all the improvements made compared to UO. When trying out AoC it was more like a trip into historic interfaces, back before people knew words such as 'usability' or 'ergonomics' existed. Yes, the graphics are nice. But then, what really makes a game is not pretty playing pieces, it is the game itself being sound and fun. I care more about classes, abilities, quests and game mechanics working than fancy graphics.

In retrospect I am very happy that I did not buy any fluffy collectors edition or wasted any money beyond the cover price of the normal game edition on this train wreck. =]

Server stability??

I dont actually remember the servers beeing down at all while i played AoC apart from the 2 hours the first day, and poor design i assume the items didnt flash enough? Most of the areas in AoC were realy uniqe and you could walk trought a zone not feeling you been in the same place all the time. (Count the farming spots OUT) Try walking trought desolace,durotar,un'goro etc you wont find spots that atleast to me feels uniqe when the same buildings are placed all over the game. The game itself wasnt fun for me either thought... I realy hoped AoC would work for me but sadly im just another wow puppy!
