Try this situation on for size: http://forums.warhammeronline.com/warhammer/board/message?board.id=p2psupport&thread.id=15916&view=by_date_ascending&page=1 ...and be glad you're not a Warhammer subscriber. If you are ... I just hope you can afford to eat for the next few days. Highlights:

I will, most likely, try it. If anyone remembers me and cares, I'll head straight for a server named Quetzalcoatl .... if they have one.

This is undoubtedly true, but .... you're more or less grumbling about business and capitalism itself. It's nothing unique to MMORPGs or your ISP. Yes, of course they could charge less and "still" make a profit. The only way to escape that accusation would be some imaginary universe in which...

Ugh. I don't doubt that at all. So, yeah. I just finished the entire thread. I'm probably almost definitely going to play this. If they announce that there will be a /duel command, I'd be elbowing all of you aside for a beta key. I have such a weak willpower. *sigh* ....someone...

I can't agree with you there, friend. PC architecture evolves at such a rapid pace, that even if FFXIV pushes the barrier to its limit upon release, it'll be old news within two or three years (still quite early, in the life of an MMO). The fact that FFXI has had to keep pace with the aging...

Haha, Aloo. I just kind of "phased out" after a while ... I don't know. I never really have an official "Okay, I quit" moment with these games. I just come to a point where I realize I haven't logged in for two weeks. I'm sorry to have been so abrupt about it from your end, though. ^_^...

A quick update -- I finally, FINALLY managed to get through to someone. After waiting in the live "web chat" queue twice, both times for nearly an hour (and after being disconnected both times when someone finally started talking), I got stubborn and began calling their little long-distance...

Ah, Tim. You are remembered as well (uh, by me)! That's another thing -- the fact that nearly every other MMORPG in existence will keep your characters for eternity (even the ones that warn you they won't, like EQ1), but Square definitely makes good on its promise to wipe you clean after 90...

....to return to the game after a long hiatus. This is particularly true if you've long since forgotten your Playonline password. I'm not even sure if I can manage to dig up the old credit card number I originally paid with. I can't think of another MMO I've ever played that made me feel less...

Hurry up, LadyKiki. I plan on basing my entire "return or not" decision based solely on your summary of the Level Sync system. So, no pressure or anything.

Um ... quick question: why on Earth would a new forum devoted to Age of Conan be PRIVATE in the first place?

35 ... long enough to see the reality of the problems I listed above. May 20th to the public, with some getting access earlier on. No. I never start an MMO with a guild, until I can make sure that I'd actually be an asset to it, rather than a fleeting fly-by-the-night player. I'll grant that...

I was going to vent my frustrations on the official forums, but ... meh. I'll just be flamed into oblivion there; I'll take this opportunity to deliver some caveats to everyone thinking about buying the game here. Don't let me actively dissuade you from it: the good stuff is worth the $50 and...

I agree. It's not only that, but also the fact that the PvE side of the world needs a LOT more work, and levelling means almost nothing.

What I do is just make a separate chat tab for On-Screen Messages. I noticed you have a lot of tabs there ... one more won't make a big difference. I also detach combat messages into its own window, so I can watch my damage better.
