Well I saw some youtube beta videos and it looks amazing, but then I heard they really dumbed down all aspects of the game, mainly combat and PvP.
This true?
Anyone here playing the REAL game now and can vouch it's worth the money or not?

Lmk, and anyone feel like maybe taking some in game screen shots etc?

Or is it better to wait a few months when they get everything fixed then try out the game?

Not sure what you mean by "dumbed down" because its combat system is very different from that of your average MMORPG. I would vouch that its worth the money, but I can't provide any screenshots because this POS computer I'm on now can't handle the game wink.gif

And to be perfectly honest, the launch bugs of this game are much smaller than any of those I've experience in other MMOs. Mostly it seems what they have to fix is isolated to certain areas (like getting stuck in one area) but then its fixed by the next day.

By "dumbed" down, I meant that I've heard during beta the gameplay + combat etc was really nice, but towards the end of beta / release they really made the game dull and nerf'd the gameplay which made it not that great.

Just what I've heard from a few people ;o

Right now my mind is either between WoW or this, not sure which yet.
All my IRL friends play WoW, but AoC looks good too.

i just got AoC... and it is awsome. im only level 13 right now, but i love it.

i really like the combat system, and the face that if u swing a sword and more than 1 person is in the range of it, it will hit both of them.

I've played about the same amount of WoW as I have this, and I've thoroughly enjoyed this a lot more.
