Anyone actually still play?

[CoaCoaNutt]

People still do play it, just not as much as before.

Lol @ the better than wow comment.
If it was better than wow then people would constantly be switching from wow to aoc... is that happening? no. In fact, people are moving from aoc back to wow.

Peoples preference with this game all comes down to a matter of opinion, so lets not start hating on Conan.

I think if Conan had the all the content it has now the day it was released, it would still have a vast user base.

Its a really great game, i leveled to max and left the game for wow lich king, now i wait for the new big update which will change the whole item structure plus a new big region opened in the common disrtict, which will fill the gap with quests for high lvl players. The game has a brutal potential and would easily be the best mmorpg if they had not lacked so much content in the beginning, but if u can forget about that and wait till the next update im talking about there is nothing still missing in the game.

And obviously one cant compare aoc with wow, which has been out for many years and therfor filled with content. Aoc is a "give it a little more time for the moment game" but as a said, wait for the next update i talked about, this is when ill be going back myself.

Yeah, AoC has gotten much better since release. I remember all the memory leaks that used to plague the game and make it nearly unplayable. Now, the game runs fine and since the server merges it actually feels populated again.

The game still has its issues, but it is steadily improving.

[Wriggly]

compared to Warhammer how is AoC? Aren't both primarily PvP games?

I never got passed 1-20...It's soo boring 17-20

[Ryoushi.]

I have to say, I did get bored with my Priest of Mitra after I left the first area, because I didn't have a clue where to go and I got killed a few times :/

I quit a while after that but I'm starting again soon... Hope it's worth it >.>

Priest of mitra is pretty much hardest priest to play correctly .And very weak (like all priests) 1-30. So you better take some other class if you don't want to get frustrated

[Ryoushi.]

It was fairly easy to play, really, with the healing.. but I guess the damage was much weaker than other classes. I'm going to roll a Tempest of Set this time.

[Thoric]

Couldn't keep me past level 30

Though the majority of people who at one point played AoC quit because the game sucked balls, the game still has a few loyal followers.

[Kralla]

Boring lvling boring pvp so many quitted

lol better than wow

[EcHoEs]

Atleast when I played AoC bit after it got released, it was still as click based as WoW.
Click combo, click the attack keys for combo..

[Cyberguitarist]

This game has many many people who play. It's waaay more fun than WoW if you like PVP and if you like good-looking graphics. There have been a few milestone patches since many of you have unsubbed, so you might wanna check back in and take a look at the incredible improvements being done.

[Gathor]

Actually I can. WoW overall is a better game, its more mature (in terms of age) so they've had more time to get everything (most everything >_>) correct. Give AoC a few years and it might (might) be a game worth playing.

So your argument to why WoW is a better game is because WoW have had a longer time to development !!!

Graphics don't make the game.
Gameplay does.

I agree with you on this, but to most players (at least that I have meet) Graphics seem to be a lot more important then gameplay.

But if you mean WoW have better gameplay the AoC we can't have the same understanding of what gameplay is

A review of the game design literature reveals that among computer and video game developers there are numerous definitions. Examples include:

* "A series of interesting choices." - Sid Meiers

* The structures of player interaction with the game system and with other players in the game." - Patterns in Game Design (2005) Bjork, S. & Holopainen, J.

* "One or more causally linked series of challenges in a simulated environment." - Andrew Rollings and Ernest Adams on Game Design (2003) Rollings, A. & Adams, E.

* "A good game is one that you can win by doing the unexpected and making it work." - Game Architecture and Design (2000) Rollings, A. & Morris, D.
