too bad DX10 is not really implemented yet and you dont need SLI for AoC at all.

I'd have to agree here. Why does it seem like every new MMO that comes out has to make the same mistakes and fuckups as every other MMO out there made before? Why can't the devs look at other games and learn from other companies' mistakes? "Hmm, players from <old MMO> have/had a problem with <'feature'>. Let's do something different and not make the same mistake with <upcoming MMO>." But no, they all have to make the same fucking mistakes as everyone else before them.

If the guy in line ahead of you got handed a hammer and dropped it on his foot, wouldn't you be extra careful when it was your turn to get your hammer? Apparently some people wouldn't.

Frankly it isnt hard to beat EQ2. Hell, EQ2 was a massive step back from EQ1 let alone most modern competitors. Vanguard would have put EQ2 to bed had it not been managed by complete fucktards let alone AoC.

AoC has already drained the life from EQ2, you can get that just perusing these dead forums.

There is no "better" here, EQ2 is six feet under along with the rest of the stale franchise.

I wouldnt suprised if new box sales for EQ2 are starting to get measured in DOZENS rather than tens of thousands for AoC.

this thread is full of fail.

I don't think one game sucks worse than the other at this point. EQ2 just became more of a second job for me, so I left.

Both games are different from one another. I enjoy AoC because the fighting has a more realistic feel to it. (Such as, you're not going to do a lot of damage to a turtle hitting it from the top down.)

AoC is a new game and every game, in its infancy, has always had problems. You show me one game that was completely bugless at launch.

I'm sticking around to see what changes they're going to make to the PvP aspect. Then I'll make my decision on whether or not to jump ship.

AoC's gameplay is horrible and the content is redundant.

The fact that the graphics are SLIGHTLY better (at that) is no excuse to play that worthless pile of excrement.

The combat concept of AoC is in my opinion a good idea. It is extremly dependant on positioning. People that will not learn this will lose.

The main problem with AoC is the small end game content for PvE players and the PvP system without a goal. Furthermore the itemization with almost no influence on the progression.
People that want to raid won't do their selves a favour when starting AoC.

But PvP itself is better than in EQ2 in my opinion.

The biggest Problem is FC who absolutely have no clue how to treat their community. Comunication is bad, worse the worst

WAR seems to be released almost in the same state as AoC was. Better read the boards before ordering the CE or play the beta.
Mythic has stated they will reduce the player cities to two and reduce the character classes, leaving certain races without any tanks. Have much fun in RvR

I don't think WAR will be the messiah tbh
