Aye, from what I've been told it's not yet finished they are still pushing out 3-4GB patches! :(

Some companies do not understand compression.

I've got AoC preorderd, due to

1. The combat system looks very interesting

2. I like that kinda story

I want Roman MMO!!!

Massive patches = not exactly finishing stages

The game is supposed to be 6 (or 16) gb already. Kinda stupid when they are releasing 3-4 gb patches. How big is this game going to be? 20GB?

They already have one like that, its called Vanguard :blink:

I wish there was a /60 command....I hate this.

So once again gave up on raiding, as the guild I joined was a bunch of bull, but damn they pulled a fast one on me. So a lonely tank, once again. Just going to do dailies, and continue to level alts. Maybe pug a few times and find some new people, but guilds are slim picking (good guilds that is) on my server.

Best illidan kill ever: 1 of each token, mainhand warglaive, healing trinket, bow.

Raid DPS is looking good too - brutallus might just be a possibility really soon.

Nice but the wings look too 2-D compared to the rest. Also if you the "center" of the image is supposed to be the staff I'd point it out a little more, like for example making it brighter or glow.

So even if it's 100GB who gives a toss, really?

Hard drive space nowadays is virtually takeaway prices - I'm pushing 2.5TB+ in my home machine nowadays and it's likely that many people who play MMOs, such as WoW or AoC don't really play that many other games (Which is evident in the sales of many games on PC)

There was a similar argument at my workplace where we discusses CPU processing. In the end though what if every company out there does the same thing. "Who cares, it's only 100GB. Who cares it's only 500GB. Who cares if we make the requirements higher?" Everything adds up. Companies should make their program as efficient as they can and maintain low system requirements. They should also use effective compression algos. Not everyone has a 2.5TB+ hard drive. I only have 250GB and I don't want 1 game to take up 50% of my hard drive space. You have to consider the general public, which is why WoW is so successful. They didn't target the "elite" gamers running on 4GB RAM or 2.5TB+ HDD. They targeted the game for the general public where a Pentium 3 can play the game with just 512 RAM.

Newsflash: Age of Conan is going to require insane amount of CPU and vidcard power to provide what you could call a "next gen" MMO - if you cannot afford a harddrive, you sure as heck aren't going to afford a machine that runs the game on any sensible settings so your point is moot.

Look, you're using Windows so that means you can't really start talking about "efficient coding" in any sense of the word.

[Argi]

The issue isn't the HD space, it's downloading it. Some people still have 12gb a month quotas here...

[Emorex]

Sorry, I forgot you worked at Microsoft.

Just because Windows isn't "efficiently coded" doesn't mean other applications aren't and shouldn't.

Guess you can enjoy playing Age of Conan with 5 other people. We all saw what happened with Vanguard.

I just set up a subscription using Paypal, and on my account page it says:

Account Status: Active

Next Bill Date: December 13, 2007 <---- WTF

When I try to play, it tells me I've used up all my game time.

Edit: Nevermind, the page just updated and the date is correct now. It let me log in too, whew. That scared me. :laugh:

Agreed.

Been moving all week, and I'm like 1k gold away from epic mount. Which is 3 days worth of dailies and light mining. Could probally do it in 2 or 3 if I got lucky with nodes/blue gems. But damn been thinking about it all week, just so exhausted from moving all day, just don't want to get on.

[aggrophobik]

Grats on moving & grats on epic flyer. I just got mine like 3 wks. ago. If you think mining is nice now...

[Prosidius]

Put it in the books...kael is dead.
