     The armor meshes look good, people's complaints have generally not been poor quality armor appearance but rather a huge lack of diversity. I got up to level 50 and there was about 5% difference in the look of my character from level 1 to level 50. Nobody needs crazy armor in a low fantasy setting like Conan but really... the same basic pattern, same basic color, level after level after level after level... it got old.

    I only played for three or so months, so I don't know what its like now. But that was my experience.

    Now if you read enough of this recent interview you can find little things that will be happening to the game in a short time.
     
     Jonric: Why haven't you offered a free trial to attract new players? And what about getting those who left to try the game again? Is this a lost cause?
    Craig Morrison: Free trial marketing will be coming soon. We wanted to address the key areas of concern from launch before we began a major campaign of this type. Now that we've started to see a positive trend in players' reactions, we're nearing the point where we feel we'll get better results from such a program. Likewise, we'll be doing re-evaluation offers for previous subscribers. It's certainly not a lost cause. I wouldn't have taken this position and be pushing the team to deliver new game updates if I didn't think we had a good chance of success.

    A re-launch? You know the NGE was a " re-launch" also.

    Stay on topic please. You fail to add any constructive information.

    I doubt if they would give a full free month. More like 2 weeks in my opinion. 1 week would not even be worth me reinstalling and they better have really made a lot of improvements in the game a lot since my last retry in January to get another 15 bucks out of my pocket.



     

    Yea.. I don't think it would be a month either. Wasn't AO's longest time like 21 days? I have a feeling it might either be 7 / 10 / 14 days.

    Probably 7 days to start and then in the summer 14 days. I think there will be extensions depending on how you get the client too.

    You never did any dungeons did you? The solo gear and crafted one are very similar and quite boring, that is true but the dungeon gear looks good and differs a lot from eachother.

    My experience is that you can see who plays dungeons and who is not,  the soloplayers clothes always looks more practical and boring. This is however just true from lvl 37+ or so, there really is no group gear before. On the other hand do the Tortage solo gear look more different than later stuff.

    New interview up with EE.

     GS: Have you plan some sort of “Come Back program” for the old subscribers like reactivate for a while old accounts, give bonus items and things like that to show new contents to them?

     

    Yes, we definitely do have plans for that. However, we are biding our time making sure we do such a campaign at the right moment. There are certain updates we want to do to the game before we open up for this, as we want to make sure as many people as possible come back and stay there when we do. We are getting closer and closer to that point, though, thanks to the many updates that we have done to the game. We are also in the process of releasing a trial version, allowing new players to experience the game. Expect more information on that very soon.

    10 would be the minimum for me to retry it, any less and I will just ignore it

    I miss DAoC
