It looks interesting--can anyone (definitively) say more about how trading in the game will function? If the game has a strong following and smooth trading features, perhaps it has some hope of getting a forum. I'm going to hang on the fence a while until I know more about it, but by the early response in this thread, it's popularity already looks higher than some of the games that have gotten suggestions for forums.

The beta seems a little slow running on my pc (basically have the top notch pc that you could get for 3.5 grand 1 year ago) and i run at a consistant 11ish fps on medium settings.
I like the gameplay and the endgame/high level ideas like player built cities, guild sieges on other guilds pve/pvp leveling systems are nice as well.
Only peoblem I see is that melee in this game cannot complete special moves while in motion, that being said its obvious any ranged/casters are going to have a huge advantage in pvp unless they add more snares to each class.
The item system seems nice, and overall if they work out the few kinks it has itl be awesome, atm it has a bout a 5.5/10 from me (but thats me considering the beta a full game) once they add in the other features that number will undoubtedly increase.

I still think D2 is funner than the beta unless they fix the pvp (which is what i play mmo games for)
hope someone read this and got somthing from it, but please don't let me discourage you from buying the game, I'm definately getting it and I will probably love it I'm just a hard critic.

Please add this forum, i think it will be a super popular game, i mean there is a HGL forum, Conan will be way way way more popular

well there are forums for games not many ppl play and this will be more populated that those and diablo 2 of course.. in my opinin the forum should be opened as fast as possible... I could offer myself as mod or to make post-its with info

Well the game has a auction house but its noting like wow though, either you buy a item in there for a set price or you dont.
And as far i have played this game i have not seen a single item thats "soulbound" like wow that makes item trading unpossible.
That and the fact money currency has it uses aswell (mounts, guild city / keep upkeeps / merc.rents etc) im pretty sure it has enough option to get trading going on



My computer is 1 year old aswell and it runs at 30-60 fps (quad core 2.4ghz 8800 gts 640 mb, so im pretty sure your comp was not that top notch )
But AoC sure is a heavy game to run on, thats pretty much the only drawback at this game.

And about the disadvantage with melee and casters that is not true, melee classes are equal if not even more powerfull from what i have seen so far.
I had alot of issues aswell in performance (alot of freezing) but on the last day of beta i could finally play smoothly, and the game is really a beauty beyond anything youve ever seen.

They are working with a 150 man team polishing and fixing bugs just before release.

Any further input is appreciated, still need more to get these AoC forums going.

I agree with having an Age Of Conan Forum 100%

However, for the early stage of the game release I don't believe that a trade forum should be implemented immediately.

It will take time to find out just how popular the AoC forums will be in d2jsp, and whether it will be worth it or not to have a sub-forum for Trading. The thing is, with a new trading forum and sub-forum there will need to be a new mod and trade moderator which d2jsp is already lacking hugely. Sure some people will say just have an existing one take upon more work... but there's a big lack of them to start with. So for njaguar or anyone higher up to find it worth it, we need to see how popular it will be first.

Just my thoughts. Post your arguments if you like.

I would not really call it a early stage, early acces starts this saterday for those who pre-ordered and got a key, and the offical release for the rest of the crowd next week.
Agreed that the trading part will take a while to get going, but a discussion forum (to group up, to discuss the game etc) would be VERY usefull.
The PvP servers are FFA so getting to know people will be of a great importance in this game without a doubt

And im aware more forums = more trouble, although im pretty sure this game could become one of the biggest games on JSP in the future.(get the advertising going on with your friends )

AoC is much more than I expected, was in closed beta and open beta. Should definately have a forum. If HGL got a forum, why wouldnt AoC? more people signed up for closed beta in 24 hours than people even play HGL lol

I so voted yes
