I was really busy this weekend with 4th stuff and graduation parties. That said, I could have logged on last night and I just didn't feel compelled to put the time in. I think I did a 3 month sub so I won't be going away too soon!

Bear you need to check your ingame mail when you get on!
I'm in the process of moving. It sort of got elongated by the 4th of july weekend. I should be up and running by the end of the week in deathwisper. And then I'll try to be as chatty as a Bear.
Edit:
I think a lot of the business was us "defending" Conan or introducing it to the perspectives. And we dont have a "city thread" in deathwisper, and haven't been planning runs on dungeons from the forums.
Speaking of the city, how is it now?
The brain you stole, Fritz. Think of it. The brain of a dead man waiting to live again in a body I made with my own hands!

12 or so sections left of the outter wall and tier 1 is done.
Wiccana here - 2 players, Shoal and Mystikal, on usually nightly. I also enjoy the 5-10 people we see frequently on the guild, but honestly it isn't enough. I think its time to open the guild up to open recruiting and make some more officers. The guild *will* die off if we don't inject more people. Finding a group *within* the guild is impossible due to so few players and level differences. However, I don't want to leave the guild as the active group that is there is a great group of people. That and Gaald is making us a pimp city.
I have little hope that those who didn't suscribe will honestly come back as *serious* players. We know a bunch of people left for whatever reasons, but it's time to move on, and I think everyone knows the active guild size isn't going to cut it in the long run (if we can't form a group how will we ever PVP battlekeep or Raid?). Some of us didn't leave and we need to have a real guild. Allow groups and merge in other guilds with similar problems. There's a large player base out there, they're just not goodjers. We can't wait until everyone floods out of the guild to make this decision either.
I would promote all the active goodjers to the level that allows them to send guild invites. Have more than Dolzer and Gaald (Lafrete) able to access the guild bank (probably 5 *trusted* RL people). Promote Dolzer and Gaald to the highest levels of the guild so they can actually make guild changes if it needs to be done (since they play). Either way (these are just suggestions) do something now. The guild is already too small.
Deathwhisper, didn't you all merge into another guild already? How's your playerbase?

I've got two RL buddies on Wiccana that I play with, usually sans guild, but they'd make good guildies.
On Deathwhisper, I hardly ever find anyone to play with and soloing is simply killing me at this point. I'm 62nd level and really out of options beside the villas as I've hit my quest cap for the moment in Thunder River and I don't really want to run to Atzel's to do the two quests I have there before quest capping. Even with a horse, the travel is the suck. This week is going to be bad because I'm spending time with the wife before she leaves on a three-week Spanish immersion school in Costa Rica. Then I will have nothing but time to devote.

We did merge with Stormhold and have formed Retribution. It was rocky at first but things are stable now. We are sitting with 20ish on a night right now. 4 or 5 80s with 7 or 8 in their 70s or close to it.
I'm still playing for some strange reason. AoC in my mind is a very poorly designed MMO. You can fix the bugs, but you're still left with an incomplete and poorly though out design.
I suspect I'm only playing because I've nothing better to do and once a new shiny comes along, I'll be gone.
AoC is very lucky there's been very few AAA titles released since AoC launched.

Exactly what I'm talking about. We need to make invites quick and easy and grow the guild. Even in a large guild, a non-growing guild is a dying guild. I think we have enough where leaving the guild and merging is a waste. Even if some of our players do come back, how long will they stay in an empty guild?
Anyone else in agreement? Can we get a guild leader to make this happen?

Bah come play with us Murinarr, we are close to having a full group of 80's on Wiccana now. (Koros and Lafrete are 79, I'm 80, Nixon is upper 70's somewhere, and you ...thats 5 with all the necessary classes covered). Did you finish Atzel, Onyx, caravan raiders, scorp cave, and whatever you needed from epic khesh on Mur? If not you should jump into group with us. I usually come on around 8:30 or so central time and immediately set about putting a group together for something.
Also working on how we will join a few other guilds for raiding.
I'm not much of a "do the same dungeon ad nauseum for gear" person but I do like playing through dungeon content at least a few times.

Ditto. I ran anctum 3x on Saturday with Mystikal and 4 other "pick-ups". Had a blast, finished the quests on the first run through and both Mysti and I got some decent drops.

I'm still playing quite a lot. I have two characters, one in Cimmeria RP-PvP and one in Zug PvE.
Last night our guild took over Tesso for about a half hour, all instances of it. It was pretty entertaining. We managed to call out Section One (an opposing guild) and turned the streets into a full out battle. It ended up crashing the "Nu" instance, and most people crashed at one point or another, but it was great fun.
I've started really taking advantage of the depth of the combat system and been having a lot more fun (especially with PvP) since.
That all said, the game is pretty buggy. My frame rate is so erratic that it goes from 15fps (in towns with lots of people like last night) up to over 100fps on closed instances. It's a mess. But come Christmas when the game will probably get its second wave, I think that it will have enough things in order that the people who stuck with it will be happy they did and the people who waited will also be happy. It's just past the honeymoon period is all.
I don't post a lot on these forums about AoC because I don't know a lot of you, nor do I play on your servers, so I don't have much to include. I'm also not someone that usually has info first, so I never post it. Anyways, I don't think AoC is losing popularity much. There's still just as many people playing it looks like to me in game.
“The average man has a secret desire to be a swaggering, drunken, fighting, raping swashbuckler.” -Robert E. Howard in a letter circa Decmber 1932
I've basically just been knee-deep in summer school, trying to get everything finished so I can graduate in August.
However, that being said, after I've been gone this long, I sit down to play games and AoC is not at the top of that list. I really enjoy the social aspect of it, as I do with most games, but the game itself has problems. It would be much easier to look past the problems if I was getting consistent performance on my system, and yes my system is older than it needs to be. But when I frequently spend my time in low teens to single digit FPS, it makes the other gameplay type problems even more annoying.
I'll probably be back at some point, but at this point I just bought a PS3 a couple weeks ago and I'm going through the back catalog...

I'm sure both of them wouldn't mind joining up with the guild at all, its just they don't necessarily want to go post/introduce themselves outside of game when they can join a guild in-game so much easier.
Well, Cooking Mama didn't help me become a better cook, and Trauma Center certainly didn't help me become a better surgeon. I have the proof of both sitting in my freezer. -- imbiginjapan
Still playin and going to hit 80 tonight. I'm still enjoying myself and am trying to find other groups to supplement our regulars so we can do some raids. If we have to apprentice all the lower level people in our guild then so be it. The raid I was on last night did, and it was fine hehe.
I just love swinging a 2 -hander through mobs of npc's and cutting them to shreds. The game runs great on my rig and I have very few issues. Definitely nothing I haven't seen before. In any case, I'm in it for the long haul.
I just got back from my honeymoon in Mexico expecting to see some good patch updates and a nice overall vibe, but everyone (not just GWJ) seems to be echoing the same thing, there's still too much that hasn't been fixed and there's a solid lack of end game goodness. Funcom has a distorted sense of priority and seems disorganized in addressing issues.
I'm a bit torn at this point. At it's core, I love the bloody combat and ridiculously tasty graphics - there's just no comparison. I've had a lot of fun with you guys and have experienced some truly epic battles. The problem is, I just don't feel the familiar "tug" to come back on a daily basis. At this point it feels less like an MMO and more in line with any other game in my collection, albeit way more buggy and it's going to hit my wallet once a month.
I've put in about 150+ hours into it which is triple what I spent on Mass Effect to make one comparison, so even if I quit today I definitely would have gotten my money's worth. I might just end up cautiously waiting this one out on the sidelines, with some sporadic subbing here and there when the patches get better. I have a lot of wicked games in my collection that are all screaming for my attention, so from a time investment point of view, I need a bit more solid proof that this game's actually going to take off, instead of a romanticized pining for hidden potential that will never see the light of day.
With the AoC issues, Warhammer's lukewarm beta impressions, and Lich King seeming to be just another temporary coat of paint on a tired formula, I'm really hoping something solidifies that I can really sink my teeth into. I'm hoping that something is AoC with 6 months in the ol' polish and sparkle machine, because I really do dig it a lot.
So blah blah, to sum it up, I will be around here and there, just probably not as much as before - I'll definitely be keeping up to date on any new patch info when it hits.
I love the game but had to step back due to school. Working full time and school full time only left me a couple of nights a week and then even that time got away. I'm thinking of switching to a part time job so i can focus on school which will allow me to play again, so you will see me back playing in a month (or whenever i can find a flexible part time job!)

I desperately want Joint Ops 2 or Planetside 2. Unfortunately I don't think either are even in development. Hell another Tribes would be a godsend. I think we're I'm getting MMO burnout. It's been swords and casting for the last 4 years. I'm tired of the next ring, the next neckpiece or the next offhand. I want to shoot someone in the face again. I want massive firefights with artillery and tanks. I want bombers and CaS. I want my next upgrade to be Dragonskin to replace my aging Kevlar.

I'm still playing on wiccana. AoC has disapointed me, but I'm still having fun for now. A friend of mine is playing so luckily for AoC that means I'll be around at least as long as he keeps playing. We'll see what happens once we both make it to 80.
My credit card company is disputing my renewal charge. They don't like overseas transactions and ran me though the wringer getting the first charge through. I'd call them up and fight over it but since I'm going to be on travel for 10 days starting this Friday I'm not going to fool with it until I get back.
I'm still around on Deathwhisper. Even so, I don't log in all that often as before.

I'm still on, though it is getting harder and harder to log in each time. I'm really hoping I can atleast push my self to level 80.

With the AoC issues, Warhammer's lukewarm beta impressions, and Lich King seeming to be just another temporary coat of paint on a tired formula, I'm really hoping something solidifies that I can really sink my teeth into. I'm hoping that something is AoC with 6 months in the ol' polish and sparkle machine, because I really do dig it a lot.
So blah blah, to sum it up, I will be around here and there, just probably not as much as before - I'll definitely be keeping up to date on any new patch info when it hits.

I love the game but had to step back due to school. Working full time and school full time only left me a couple of nights a week and then even that time got away. I'm thinking of switching to a part time job so i can focus on school which will allow me to play again, so you will see me back playing in a month (or whenever i can find a flexible part time job!)

I desperately want Joint Ops 2 or Planetside 2. Unfortunately I don't think either are even in development. Hell another Tribes would be a godsend. I think we're I'm getting MMO burnout. It's been swords and casting for the last 4 years. I'm tired of the next ring, the next neckpiece or the next offhand. I want to shoot someone in the face again. I want massive firefights with artillery and tanks. I want bombers and CaS. I want my next upgrade to be Dragonskin to replace my aging Kevlar.
Sigh...........
You could try WWII Online.
Well, Cooking Mama didn't help me become a better cook, and Trauma Center certainly didn't help me become a better surgeon. I have the proof of both sitting in my freezer. -- imbiginjapan
I'm still playing on wiccana. AoC has disapointed me, but I'm still having fun for now. A friend of mine is playing so luckily for AoC that means I'll be around at least as long as he keeps playing. We'll see what happens once we both make it to 80.
My credit card company is disputing my renewal charge. They don't like overseas transactions and ran me though the wringer getting the first charge through. I'd call them up and fight over it but since I'm going to be on travel for 10 days starting this Friday I'm not going to fool with it until I get back.
