MMOs are a damned if you do, damned if you don't thing. Even though the game turned to crap, due to only 1 thing, I love the AoC Lead Dev for coming out and say to the players, "IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, LEAVE!" A company that will hold to their own vision instead of the whining players will always have my respect.

its the typical mistake a lot of MMO companies make. Bioware just didn't think to look how things went for past companies so they did their own little screw up. Ahhh, MMO companies are like little children, they never learn. It would only be smart planning and a money saver for companies to come up with a contingency for this BEFORE launch. at launch there will always be queues. Tell those that cry to leave and come back later. You let it become like this instead...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYbetvkPA6I do remember, they gave people a free month. They do count those as "subs". Op and I play on the same server and Its getting harder and harder to log in due to the fact that its becoming a chore to get people to even log in or find people that have a sub to come and do something. Its also the same 10-15 people you see in the Warzones every day. Same people doing raids every week, same everything.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THAT! you can save up 1mil in game and buy the wrist to go up there.

i would give you a ballpark figure of early june to december....

it was leaked months ago and a few yellow people have hinted to it. It was posted then BW quickly tried to hide it. I think its more than rumors but its not a "yes/no" confirmation yet. They also hinted at rakata prime and varl as planets.

The filed the patent in '06 and began laying the groundwork the same year.

Being patient is one thing. I enjoy the game but, every game company has the same problem (this includes Bioware). They never learn from those who came before them. They ALWAYS make the same mistakes because they think their version of a catastrophe is better than the other 5000 attempts. They always come up ending like this. it doesn't matter if it is your FIRST mmo or your 100th. Companies need to do their research before making and organizing content. If multiple companies come out saying "this idea was a complete and total screw up", think of something else. BW, didn't.

tech power is offhand and weapon barrel

yes, would you like to finish my essay on media coverage of the Vietnam war. I've been procrastinating for weeks and its due in 25min.

1.3 Also has a new companion....everyone gets a robot. Yay HK-51. I was hoping for something more than a robot.

The group that i run it with doesn't move him at all. I, the tank (Vanguard) tank him in the cent while the rest of the group moves. The reason why people dont bring melee dps is due to the plasma arch. The fewer people in the middle fighting, the less chance there is for one of the orbs to spawn where the tank is keeping the boss distracted.

no...just...no dont bring those here. anything but that annoying "that _______ when..."

They never will exist but people arent really looking for a flawless or super original game. People just want devs to see that these cookie cutter theme park mmos are utter crap in the end. Doing the same thing over and over and over and over until you feel like sticking your blaster in your mouth really becomes unoriginal and exceedingly boring. heck, I went back to Fallen Earth. Its not anywhere close to flawless or original and its game play is iffy at times but there is always something different to do every time I log in. I don't stand on the fleet waiting for a queue to pop or a raid to partake in that ive done 5000 times before. while i firmly believe that PLAYERS can create their own content a large majority of majority of the time, these themepark mmos make sure that we don't. A lot of attempts are out there but all have failed due to no reward being given to those who show.

How dare you suggest that devs actually THINK of new ideas! You sir, are scum. ps. I agree with you 100% its pathetic that MMOs these days are all the same themepark ride.
