I'll try it if they give out a free trial. Other wise no. Last game I bought without playing a demo first was Fallout 2.
Hopefully they do an open beta without screwing everyone over like AoC. Who does a stress test/major beta with an old build?
Considering they announced that the game has gone gold, What you see is what you get. Other then some small patches and without the debugger running in the background.
I don't like fileplanet much either, but for me it's a good choice. I'm not real sure if I want to buy AoC, as my game time is really limited. Droping 15 dollars I can live with, 50 not so much. And I ALWAYS try mmo's before I buy them.
Oh, and I …
MMo's are extremly expensive. Everything I've heard in the past indicates that you have to have 100,000 subscribers just to break even on server time and bandwith.
hehe, makes me feel old somtimes. My wow guild has joined made an alliance with another guild. Youngest player in either guild is late 20's, and a couple people in there mid 40's. You just have to weed out the idgets.
