Heh... I appreciate your recommendation, but since I've probably been playing computer games since before you were born, I think I'll stick with them. If you know what C64 stands for, you'll know what model my first computer was. As far as MMOs, I started playing ultima online when it first came out, and I complained about lag and exploits, but you know I still played. I guess what I'm saying is that the game sucks so bad, it only takes a few bugs to make it less than worthwhile to play. The classes lack depth. The graphic requirements are misleading, and the PvP is less than spectacular. I think the rating it's gotten overall backs me up here. If you like it, fine, but don't go insulting me because I expect a game to have issues like that resolved. I understand that a game will have bugs, but AoC has more than any other game I know and requires more to run. I think they've failed on every front with that game and I don't see it being around in 4 years, if it is, it'll be a miracle. Oh did we even get into all the end game content! Yay! Everyone's doing the same exact dungeon over and over, because the other ones suck.
Was I a little more expressive this time? Do you understand exactly what I'm complaining about now? Maybe it's not me that needs to head to consoles, but you, since you seem to accept every crappy game that comes out without really expecting any quality. Consoles games, you'll get tons of quantity and no quality, which seems to be the AoC moto.
If you're reading this, you probably need to get some sun.
I agree about the Wow and the Eve patchers. The AoC one has always worked just as well for me. As for the "Out Of Memory" errors, etc... to me it shows what a crap PCs they are selling in the stores. I build my PCs myself, only choosing high quality parts and I never had these problems. Seriously, the same happened at the Vanguard launch. People were complaining all over, while for a few people like myself Vanguard was running smooth as silk. The same happened with AoC - smooth as silk. So yes I agree, "your PCs are lame". It's like purchasing an Indian made Tata and complaining about the problems when a BMW works fine. I am not saying AoC had no bugs (I am sure many had problems and I can see how Funcom failed to code/test properly for all of the hardware), only that I have never seen them.
To me it shows how completely clueless you really are. Do you have any idea how ignorant and stupid you are making yourself look with this post? Out of Memory errors are the computers fault? Are you kidding me? How stupid can you be? You think your computer is just deciding not to use all of it's memory. Honestly I'm dumbfounded by comments like this.
Any out of memory error solely the problem of the developer. They have a memory leak. Since you have shown you have absolutely no clue what that is, I'll explain it to you. If they are using a language with no native garbage collection(which it is obvious they are), a memory leak is when the program allocates a new piece of data on the heap, and then loses it's ability to access that data before that data is deleted. It could be small or it could be large, but have that happen enough and suddenly all of your memory is filled with data you can't access anymore, giving you an out of memory error.
Seriously, don't type anything unless you have even the slightest clue what you are talking about.
