I've seen the graphics thing brought up a lot and I think I understand the issue. Some people say the graphics are awesome some say they are awful. I personally don't like the graphics. That's not to say it doesn't have high end graphics, I just don't like the style the artist(s) use. I mean it's like comic books, there are artists you like and some you don't. They all draw very well or wouldn't be in the business, you just may prefer one style over the other...At least that's how I see things anyway.
I played AC2 since retail finally leaving in late decemberh (03). I have since come back to the game (June) and am having a blast. The game is very much improved and I absolutely encourage anyone that left to give it another try via the free trail (which doesnt even take a credit card...its truely free)
I just recently quit AC2 after leaving Ac1, and now I regret leaving AC1. Ac2 is fun for the low lvls for most people, but then at high lvls, it seems empty. Even at just lvl 35 there is just too many limits to what you can do. Get a NE Nepeth fellow and bach thousands of shreth and dillos for o.k exp. Eh, not a bad game, but the lack of content per say and lag issues (few computers can handle the game with sound on) just made me lose interest....
Actually, that is because you haven't got to the high level quests. You just went through the slow 30's. At lvl 39, your leveling would have picked up very quickly and at lvl 45 you have the hero quest and once completed, there have to be at least 50 new quests that open up.

I wish people would stop using this as an excuse to not like Ac2. It simply is not true. Just because player populations are lower than many other MMORPG's does not mean that the world is empty. There are only two US servers. I always see tons of people on, even though sometimes I play at some very odd hours. By 'seeing' them I mean I actually do run into lots of people, all the time, not just in the chat channel, but in-game/in-person. I also never have problems grouping when I want to.

I played AC2 in the spring of 2003 for about 4months. i liked the game alot. The only reason i quit was because of server stability. I recently came back and i must say i really forgot how damn fun this game is! yay AC2! thanks for giving something fun to do until WoW hits open beta...i love u.

xplorer -did he ask for the population numbers? NO.
Want to see some population numbers I'm quick to point it out.
http://ac2population.freeservers.com/
with the exception of the past two days (Authentication issues and one frostfell crash) when these were recorded - the overall curve is UP.
I'd give ac2 another try if i didnt haveto go through Microsoft. Once they are out ofthe picture ill have another look.

This game sure is nice, I love it.
The only bad thing is it has no music, (I think MMORPGS should have some decent music.)
and that there's almost no one that plays.
If there would be more players, music, and my trial wasn't over yet, (hehe.)
I would still be playing.
