Well...create a female character, take her top off. Bam, nipples and bouncing tits. If you want interactive sex, try second life.
LOOOOOOOOOOOL I didnt' even bother to read the long post of the OP it made no sense anyway.. but the replies is amusing... thanks for this one...
cracks me up to think that the op is actually expecting to see sex.. sounds like he's desperate for something.
I have been lazy lately and have done nothing except play AoC since it came out. Basically, I just can't take it anymore. Below are my truthful reasons why the game doens't measure up to any standards.
Note: I have played this game on a macbook pro running xp and have had ZERO problems with graphics. My FPS ranges between 20 and 40. Sometimes dropping lower when many (25+) models have been rendered. SO.. I will begin with the extreme problems of this game.
1. The graphics - The graphics are actually FANTASTIC, but they have major compatability issues. The game has major issues wtih both ATI and NVIDIA cards. That means that even if you have an awesome system, the game could still be completely unplayable. If you buy this game you are rolling the dice.
Graphics are superb. The first paragraph of this post shows you're about to attack everything about the game. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my computer and the game.
2. The Content - Okay pay really close attention here, read closely. At any given point in the game, there is at the absolute most three zones at you can adventure in at any given level. Three.... ........ .... no really, three zones (which happen to occur at level 20-32ish). From levels 1-20 there is ONE zone, from levels 20-32 theres three (one for each starting race). From 32ish to 80 theres between one and two zones, usually one where you can grind. Quests are great until about 30 or so, then they devolve into the same type of other quests that any other MMO has to offer. The intial zone is great (tortage) but ultimately its a single player 7-8 hour mission. If you start a new character you must replay the same quests. And in all actuality, theres pleanty of quests to level up by questing alone (till about 40, then its pure grind), but theres not more than about one round of quests (should of been a single player game). There are a few "okay" instances, but mostly all of the dungeons and instances are just trash filled with one generic monster type and don't even have any quests.
The lack of content in this game is disgusting.
It's a fresh launch. I agree with you on the generic monster part, but what MMO isn't like this? Every MMO fills in trash mobs that are the same followed up by a unique boss. It's no different here.
3. Point Three - On the box i was promised some ass and titties and some mature sexual conduct and I have seen none so far. If I pay for some nudity in a game, I want it.
You bought an online video game looking for tits and ass when you could alt-tab out open you browser and see tits and ass at any time. This is pretty pathetic. You can take the female's shirt off and you have your tits. Spending 50$ on a video game for tits is your problem.
4. The Combo/Active Combat System - Wow, this is by far the most overrated aspect of AoC. Instead of having abilities that you can do, you are forced to play simon-sez with the computer to cast abilities. Its fun for about 2 hours, then you're sitting there going shit... I have to press 1-3-1 to cast my 3 hit combo. The game does keep your attention more than say a game wtih auto attack, but ultimately its just as mindless and boring. The game has all the same types of abilities as WoW, but just makes you press extra buttons, which gets extremely boring after awhile. They try and make it play like an action game, but if i wanted that I would go play an action game like devil may cry or something. It sounds interesting, but its just retarded. Also take note here, you can not cast abilities while moving. You can chase something and swipe at it with normal melee attacks, but to cast an abilities like a slows, stuns, and combo hits, you have to stop (more on this below), which is extremely stupid. This is not okay, this is not an easy fix, this is an extremely piss poor piece of code written into the game, and is a FUNDAMENTAL flaw. This is retarded.
Ok you didn't like the combo system. That's fine. I personally am finding it a bit more interactive then the usual autoattack. There's abilities that don't require combos as well. The combos are for major damage moves.
5. PvP - There is no PvP, I mean you are allowed to attack other players on a PvP server but that just means that you can gank someone right after they get done fighting a mob and are low on HP. PvP is the most incredibly unbalanced thing that has ever happened. The game itself does not lend itself to PvP because the combo system forces players to STAND STILL TO CAST EVERY TYPE OF MELEE COMBO! For instance, if you start a combo that stuns an opponent, but you are forced to press 1 then 3 and then it fires before the stun will fire, the other guy can simply take two steps back and can completely avoid it. What? How retarded is this? So basically, if you're a melee class, don't expect to be able to use any of your abliities in PvP.
PvP = Player vs Player. If you rolled on an FFA pvp server you knew what you were getting. I think you want the carebear WoW version of pvp that's more of a dueling then pvp imo. "Are you ready for the fight?" "ok" "let's fight now that I've got my gear and abilites and buffs ready" Head on over to Warsong Gulch if that's your cup of tea.
Next up with PvP is how rangers (the ranged class, duh) are insanely overpowered when it comes to PvP and go around ganking everything. Its retarded. However, my guardian (the AoC version of a Protection warrior in wow) has such high defense and HP that he can sit there and laugh at people who try to PvP him. I can take about a mintues worth of damage from another melee class, and then simply run away from them and regenerate all of my HP in about a minute, and then allow them to beat on me again. Its such a joke. There is no balance, there is no "honor" system, there is no group pvp, there are no battlefields, did I mention there is no balance?And there are no rewards. Its just random ganking, anything goes. Retarded. PvP SUCKS!
Rangers are overpowered currently. Agreed. MMOs with classes are always a seesaw of balance.
6. Broken talent (feat) trees - There are feat trees similar to talent trees in WoW, and they are full of holes and are broken. No though or rhyme or reason has gone into making them, and they copy and pasted half their abilities from WoW and the other half just came up with stupid repetative shit to put in there. I have heard some people say as many as 25% of the feats out there don't work or malfunction consistently.
Another garbage claim WoW was the creator of all.
7. Lack of Community - The HUD absolutely blows in AoC. Also, NOBODY GROUPS IN AOC. WHY PLAY A MMO IF YOU CAN'T GROUP WITH OTHER PEOPLE? Well, theres a disgusting lack of group content for starters, then from there it just gets worse. Hardly anybody talks to each other, and the player made guild cities pretty much suck. Its amazing how bad the chat system is and how not condusive the HUD/CHAT/GAME is for players to interact and form a community. Thats why you play an MMO, for the community, and thats pretty hard to get interested in an MMO when nobody talks to each other. Sucks right?
I've easily found groups everytime I've been on. There's always plenty of people looking to group. Don't know what your issue was. Maybe your negativity turned them off. Get into a good guild and it's easy from there.
Conclusion
This game is unfinished, and the only *decent* part is the graphics which are buggy at best. The starting city (tortage) might be the greatest zone ever made for an MMO, but its only good for a single run through. From there, the content level drops to zero over the next 15 levels.
Bottom Line: The graphics, the bugs, the unbalanced classes/pvp, and the active combo system are all unfinished, and these are NOT easy fixes, these issues are fundamental flaws with the game. Fixing these issues will take at the very least 6 months but most likely at least a year to fix. If there are so many flaws in the game, how can you expect them to deliver new content like siege PvP? I doubt siege pvp will ever go live in 2008. The game will kill itself off before it ever truly gets off the ground, just another wow clone with different graphics and fatalities. WoW remains the industry standard, they actually do everything right over at blizzard.
This game is a joke, no really it is. What kind of f**king retarded developer would release a MMORPG that has 7-8 playable zones in it?
Well I'm enjoying it anyways. The zones are big enough to keep it interesting. The FFA pvp always add hilarious drama to the scene. It's not a WoW clone at all. There are a lot of differences in this game. The whole combat system is different.
The only beef i have is the lack of quests at some point in the game and the crappy chat interface. You're exaggerating a lot of the other problems cause you're angry.

3. Point Three - On the box i was promised some ass and titties and some mature sexual conduct and I have seen none so far. If I pay for some nudity in a game, I want it.
Well...create a female character, take her top off. Bam, nipples and bouncing tits. If you want interactive sex, try second life.
LOOOOOOOOOOOL I didnt' even bother to read the long post of the OP it made no sense anyway.. but the replies is amusing... thanks for this one...
cracks me up to think that the op is actually expecting to see sex.. sounds like he's desperate for something.
Well, Tina told me where her bed is... the problem is just this freaking hole in the floor right infront of the door. I bet funcom runs a statistic how many players fell through the hole
The OP is pretty much dead on with my impressions of the game.
it looks, feels and plays like a very unfinished game, and i wouldn't advise anyone pay for it for at least 6 months unless they are some combonation of a) masochistic, b) never played an MMO before, c) not fussy d) desperate for a change.

Tina's bedroom is in the other direction
You were trying to get into the landlords bed!!
And if we can have wooohooo in sims, then we need it here also
<Mod edit> The thing that attracted me to AoC was that it was a FunCom production and most of your surely know that they also made Anarchy Online (what 7 years ago?) Now, Anarchy Online was a true and utter dissaster in so many ways when it came out, but after though many patches later it turned out to know f***** awsome. Allthough the Shadowland expansion kinda ruined it again (but that is just my personal opinion). And what up with the "I got promised nudity, so I want nudity!"... yo wtf are you dumb or something? I do, from the bottom of my heart believe that AoC can and will be improved, just like any other MoG it's not really fair to judge it this early.
melee is a joke because it's not possible to move around when doing a combo??? are you serious... try do a combo in real life to see how much you can do... really merely a swinging the weapon while moving is hard enough than to try to execute combo's at the same time. I'm curious what type of movement you expect to make while executing a combo? run away movement? Going a pattern versus one on one is a show not real fight just as a tip for real life fighting. Note dont' believe everything you see in movies it isn't REAL...
The combat system is good and if it's not to your likening its ok you don't like it it doesn't mean it's poor.
Sorry, but you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
I've been doing martial arts for 8 years now, and have a black belt in 2 different arts, one being Taekwondo and the other a Korean sword art very similar to Kendo. You are f***ing deluded if you think people pull off 'combos' so to speak irl, it's not called friggin combos, it's a chain of moves used most effectively in a given situation.
Yes I have been in many one-on-one spars, etc, no one pre-plans a series of fucking moves, your an absolute fool to do so, the situation is constantly changing, you don't have some uber combo of moves, WHAT you have is an arsenal of moves you use when the situation requires it. And mate... you don't stand still in the middle of fight, unless you want to get knocked out, there is no martial art where you just stand in a spot kicking and punching.
When I play high fantasy games I try not to liken it to real life (maybe you should do the same), I want to have fluidity in my attacks, and I want to use everything at my disposal, moving, jumping, fighting, combos, whatever, standing still to perform a special move is damn archaic, yes fair enough some classes require it, but my assassin is so uncoordinated he can't perform a simply combo move without standing still... sorry thats bullshit.
I would also like to point out when I am 'swinging' my sword in REAL life, I friggin well move a lot, and it's not as hard as you think, especially when you develop more muscle and tone as you progress, and YES I will do multiple 'moves' to form a 'combo'.
Yeah I guess I have just been watching too many damn movies...
