awesome let me know  brotha

I just checked and they aren't in effect in the US yet, I'll keep checking though but remind me in pm or something when they come out and I'll give you mine.

So apparently you have to pay for your first month, and then the buddy pass becomes available on your account page. Lame, but at least i know when they're available i guess!

quit and sold my account the game his really dissapointing.

RETURN FROM THE DEAD!

Yeah, never played this, but I was wondering if this is MMO is as bad as everyone makes it seem. Its apparently horrible and shouldn't be touched.

It's not nearly as bad as people say it is. Even with all of it's flaws and problems it's way better than most free MMORPGs. While the content is still rather lacking the PvP is FUN and the PvE isn't that bad either. There's a serious lack of quests after about level 45 (max level being 80) but if you make it to the end game you've got two tiers of raiding. The gameplay is a lot more fun than the usual passive wait for cooldowns style all other MMORPGs seem to use.

There's also big plans for PvP system (pvp levels, criminal system etc) coming and some new zones for more quests and dungeons, but Funcom is taking their time with them (way too long...).

But if I had to recommend one of the big three (WoW, WAR and AoC) I'd currently go with WAR.

I don't know man. After all the horrible bugs in that game (like socket stacking and respeccing and dropping your profession at the same time), and the fact that they've been promising a pvp system for like 4 months now, plus the fact that their stock ratings have been going from 55 to 5 euro or whatever. Oh, and then there's also the fact that the moderators of Funcom's forums will ban you, or at least warn you for mentioning ANYTHING bad about Age of Conan. There was even a case where they edited a copy-pasted review from a Swedish site (which was copy-pasted and translated in a thread), and removed the parts where the reviewer said what he didn't like about the game. I really wanted to enjoy that game too, but after that I just pretty much lost faith in Funcom.

Well it's not the OMFG AWESOME BBQ game it was hyped to be, but it's also nowhere near the OMG CRAPPIEST GAME EVER title either. Even though Funcom might be a bunch of retards they did manage to do some things right. It's not a dead end game but it has it's problems. The game IS playable and it IS fun to play. Just because it wasn't the next WoW doesn't mean it's a total failure.
