My understanding is if a player leaves the guild and becomes unguilded, they lose their reknown (and to join another guild you have to become unguilded, even if its just a few seconds) but the old guild keeps their reknown points. This stops the abu…

Whilst the system has a few wrinkles, it really breathed life into my (relatively modest sized) guild on Sunday. The desire to generate reknown led to a flurry of raids, all guild pvp mini games (on the blood ravine map even that rarely gets played…

It could well be ISP related and indeed doesn't affect everyone in europe BUT it is widespread - on the technical forum, there are several threads with 100s of people reporting the issue - what annoyed people was it seemed to take a long time for C…

I'm on the verge of quitting too. Not because of patch issues, not because of balance or power issues, not because of the overall concept but because a significant percentage (not all but a lot) of UK users are finding the game unplayable due to lag…

To the above poster, I tried creating the same character directly after deleting it and it wouldn't let me use the name - hmm maybe there is a short delay before you can - thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try again. S.

Not a smooth launch for a lot of us non-US players - the central LA based server means that a lot of us UK players can barely log in let alone enjoy the game due to massive rubber banding etc...What's more there are hundreds of posts about this over…

One of the unfortunate side effects of the patch was my character lost all her powers.. in the middle of the tutorial zone (Sorcery based char). GM replied to my ticket stating there was no workaround and I'd have to delete the character. Might not…

Oh.. just to add a final anecdote to the BT saga.... after a while, I decided to sell one of the freebie phones on ebay. Ended up having to give a full refund.. the boxed, never used, shrink wrapped, hub compatable phone was faulty and didn't even…

Whilst not derailing the thread to moan about BT's service... :-) When I moved into my house I got the bt homehub (which had just lauched that month with a huge advertising campaign).. and when they reconnected the phone, the internet didn't work…

Thanks Obidom, I'll give that a try when I get home (can't try it with CO at the moment of course but I can check my hub settings etc) and yes, I agree re the fps issue - there did seem to be a strong correlation between the fps drops and the huge d…
-
I did say apparent fps (as read by fraps) but yes.. when I tied in the output graph from fraps (as monitored on my g15 keyboard) to the built in netgraph commandline tool ingame, the drop in fps correlated to a huge spike on the netgraph tool. I'm n…

This is my first beta (but not my first MMO - seen several launches over the years, good and bad) but so far am unimpressed with this situation. I hope they fix it otherwise I wont be able to experience the beta at all :-( I am in the UK on a fair…

In the EU, I've been on three servers and my experience is that the global chat community's friendliness is inversely proportional to the server population :-). Its easier said than done but the golden rule applies - find a decent sized guild of l…

RE Button layout, for PVE with a melee class character, I have the 'normal' attacks on the default 123 (with Q & E when you reach 40 for low left/right attacks). The movement is WASD. Then for my main combos I remap the hotbar slots to the numb…

Some sort of periodic royalty / licence fee for the IP is likely UNLESS Funcom paid through the nose (ie paid a lot of cash) up front to avoid ongoing licence / royalty costs. Licence fees are likely fixed cost per year, royalties will obviously var…

I'm a current player, with a more or less uniterrupted sub. I still play and enjoy playing it.. but I supsect it won't last as long as AO for a number of reasons. - the majority of MMO players these days have quite short attention spans and AOC is…
-
AOC is a very divisive game thats for sure but for some (myself included) it just sort of clicked and drew me in... I nearly dropped it through the bad days (july to sept technical problems) but stuck with it and am still playing and and generally e…

RE the foliage effects, its appears to be implemented fully in some areas and less so in others - Thunder river has good foliage effects imo for example - looks really good when you slowly walk through it and the long leaves bend as you brush agains…

OMG - that link to the tv show is just amazing - I guess the reason the fact the music is so good is not just that it suits the game, but is just an incredible score out of the game context - full stop. Congrats to the sound team, artists and of co…

And a pat on the back to me for starting a thread a month ago saying it should win some sort of in game music of the year award S.
