Aquilonians get conqueror... Cimmerian too? I can't remember... Cimmerian is probably where a lot of folk are... on Bane, anyways. When I got out to the island where all of the newbie killing/spawn killing was going on... in places you'd go to at lvl 9 for quests... Lots of level 17's.... mostly cimmerian dual wielders. One inventive ranger had taken up residence high up in some bushes, one-shotting lowbie mages from above. You could just tell with some folk that they had no idea what just happened... dashing back to the same spot moments later... then he spotted me watching and smoted me with all due fury.

The early access was a good way to ease up the load on the lowbie zones those launchers will be joining just as the rest of us are walking out, or far beyond it.

Get on IM.

I was still undecided about AoC but people seem to like it a lot so far. I will pick it up tomorrow and give it a shot.

errr for eveyone saying this is the cleanest launch..

the game as not launched yet!

20th in usa, and 23 for the rest.

For stinkfinger -

It has been a really smooth Early Launch.

.. Hopefully, the actual launch is even better and they have made adjustments for the rush of people logging in on the 20th.

how are the soilders classes? I wonder if its going to be like eq2 on the end game, your either the main guardian or your not needed type deal?

I was also told pretty much mages pawn soilders in pvp, but rouges pawn mages, type of deal

I wouldn't know stinkfinger, but I am playing a Herald of Xotli,.. which is a hybrid soldier/mage class... basically a mage who uses melee based magical attacks and wears cloth. I'm a squishy who has to be in melee range to attack. It's really interesting. Apparently my AA's will give me advances to make me more viable in combat and near mobs. For example, 1 of my aa's give me a hunker down type of ability which allows me to stay in place and not get knocked back (should be interesting for AEs that knock back) I also have an AA that brings me back to life if i die.
