WSAD

I dove into Age of Conan head first, War$ and I both pre-ordered. I got the Rhino he got the Mammoth, and on the 20th of May we started to play. Our first month or two was on the PvE server OMM. We had a great time! There were a heap of complaints about AOC’s launch. All i can say is, if you want to ruin your game experience visit the official forum.
Were there bugs? Yes. We still had a great time and were never without something to do solo or together. A new ruleset was announced on the Bane PvP server Called "culture pvp", based on avatars race. We headed over and rolled avatars on Bane and stayed there until the server was merged with Cimmeria. We were in various guilds and still play today, I will comment on aoc in future posts. AOC will always be one of my favorites with its wonderful environments, quests, and unique combat system. Updates continue to come and things keep getting better.

I was spending less time in Rappelz, it was a good game but PvP was looked on as some sort of criminal activity there, and AOC's 12$ a month for all features was a nice change. Mac from JSA played for a bit, but his tastes leaned more toward the science fiction realms and he headed back to Anarchy online.

Basically every game I have played up until Entropia and Rappelez revolved around player vs player. What I have found in every mmo there is a percentage of the population that are in game purely for the social aspects, and some monster hunting/crafting non-conflict type activity. They look at PvP as either some evil thing or something you do in a rig sometimes. The amount of stress and bitching you hear from the ranks of the non pvp types is truly amazing. AOC's pvp servers are not for those people. There is nothing wrong with Pve, it is why I like single player and co-op missions as well. Open world PVP is great and I love it. This style of game will be on my plate for many years to come...... or at least two
