 - Not worth your time....Maybe its me but all MMO's lately seem to be the exact same but this game is HORRIBLE! I was in the beta and was pretty excited about it honestly. I bought it when it came out and played it quite a bit. The crafting sucks, the social sucks, huge bugs(which is to be expected when something is released.) and the worst part....3 months after release the design crew has systematically destroyed this game. More things are broken now than at release. I was very disappointed. If you want something fun and solid with good crafting with hardly any bugs I would try LOTRO Rating: - Biggest grinder ever made. All the items look the same. Creative use of maybe a total of 20 total armor sets in marketing. The conent in this game literally runs out at points and you have to aimlessly grind mobs to level. With dwindiling numbers on most all servers, finding groups for end zone quest lines is completely impossible. And the 1-80 levelling experience is absolutely dependant on these quests for experience points. SO you end up having to repeat "villas" (can you say badge runs, only they start at low level, 5 tiny instances that all look the exact same, with boring goals such as "collect valuables in villa verde"). This will get you a 5th of a level every 6 hours on a timer. OR you can mindless kill random mobs at 1000 experience each, for a total of 1.3 million to level, you do the math on the kills needed for that. The armor is blatant false advertising. Think world of warcraft, level 1-10 armor sets, with different stats at level 80. TERRIBLE weapons and armor selection. For former warcraft players, I will give you an idea of the games size, think elwyn, westfall, duskwood, redridge, felwood, and blasted lands. Thats how small it is, about perhaps half of one wow continent. They try to disguise this with lengthy zone in and zone out load screens. Mounted travel, is around the same speed as running on foot. Mounted combat, doesn't allow for use of abilities, only standard weapon swings, which are very weak attacks and meaningless in pvp, players regenerate health faster than normal swings take it away one must use combos to kill an opponent, and cannot on a mount. Can't recommend this at all, boring, buggy and no rewards worth the play. Rating:  - Graphics and GameplayJust a normal person I am. Not a professional at this at all on reviews. I do really like this game a lot. After the very long install and all the updates I jumped right in and chose my character who was a Guardian. Very fun and strong character to play for a new player wanting to kick some tooshy when starting out. The game control is very fun and I love the new styles of attacks and all too. The graphics are just downright beautiful and everyone that I have played with on there has been very fun and friendly. The only down side I have to this game is merely just technical. The forums prove it too. You can go into the forums and read the plethora of gripes and complaints on everyones issues. I won't go into great detail other than saying that the imaging stuttered on my screen during game play. Needless to say I tried everything that anyone offered to resolve it and ended up canceling my account in less than a month of game play. The game has many bugs and still needs a lot of work. There have been many people buying newer systems thinking it would resolve the issue and they are still having problems. If you really want to play this game try the trial before you buy it just to be sure it is for you. Again it is a fun game and beautiful graphics. I've only suspended my account until I know everything is finally out of the beta stage and fully finished and working fine without as many complaints. I do hope this helped someone out there. Good luck on your gaming adventures. Rating: - AOC - MMORPG DisasterAOC is the worst MMORPG I've have ever played in terms of the following items, in order or severity: 1) MASSIVE memory leak issue leading to constant lag by all but those that have way more processing power than required for the game. 2) Inability or refusal of Funcom (maker of AOC) to deal with the massive memory leak issue, instead focusing on ridiculous items to fix each week. 3) Horrible and lengthly list of game bugs, many many quests are broken, items don't work, crafting system in shambles. 4) PvP completely non-functional. "PvP" servers should be renamed "ganking" & PvE servers should be renamed "non-ganking" since this is the ONLY difference between the 2 types. The only PvP system that works is a premade scenario that is initiated and completed manually by someone advertising constantly in open chat for people to please join a premade group. If you enter a pug que for pvp minigames you can wait 9 hours or more for your turn. 5) Serious lack of raid content at game end. I hear lvl 80's all the time advertising "looking for anything to do" - desperation has set in. 6) Major patches occuring once a week now (at game release they had to have two patches a week). Most patches require more patches to fix the poorly thought out patches. 7) RAPIDLY declining membership to AOC make group play all but impossible. 8) Appears the beta testers were as drunk AND stupid as the game designers. 9) No auto-attack style or "Stick" command places melee class characters at a SEVERE disadvantage to casting type classes. Melee chain combos are extremely difficult to make work in a pvp situation. 10) Even the AOC core "fan boys" have been silent lately with the non-stop complaints about the severe problems with AOC being expressed daily in open channel chat. Save yourself a headache and go outside and enjoy the real world for the next month while we await the release of Warhammer, since there is nothing worth a crap out there currently in the MMORPG world to play in...... Rating:  - Age of Incompleteno dx10 yet, maybe in a few months, siege battles do not work/exist, everything is buggy, there is no skill as damage is based on items/gold farming. What you can afford determines your damage. There are constant spams from gold farmers. Very little to do. Low population so there are few people to do it with. 1-20 is great, awesome, spectacular, after that the game is a joke
