Minifig Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Funcom has published the list of planned server mergers for its fantasy MMO Age of Conan, revealing that it will be cutting the total number of servers from 49 to just 18. The reduction is more dramatic in North America and the Oceanic regions, where 24 servers are being merged into just six. In the US, only one player-versus-player server and two player-versus-environment servers will remain, with each combining the populations of six or seven existing servers. More news here.

HawkMan Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 It's still the second best MMORPG out there, behind Vanguard, and ahead of WAR. and the problem was mainly that it had too many servers from the get go. Sure the first month it was needed. but every MMORPG has a surge of users the first month, that don't like the play style or don't like the world or art style or whtever and leave. unfrutnately after these people left they had too many servers and many thought there was to few players around. server merges are far from a RIP though. most MMORPG's have had server merges as the peopulation stabilize and server power and server code is optimized. it's been known for months they where going to merge as well.

Matrix XII Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I was going to buy it some time ago, glad I didn't! I'm kinda done with MMO's anyways, they just suck out too much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree with you more! MMO's do suck up too much of your time to be remotely close to anything productive in real life. But I did play AoC and thought it was alright but a lot of stuff to iron out. I played the game since beta up until about a month of the release.

Smigit Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I actually really liked it up to level 40 to be honest. I stopped there though because of University commitments and after a few months I guess I didn't feel like getting back to it once I had time.

LTD Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 EVE Online was the only MMO I bothered to play regularly, due in part to the fact that it was one of the very few that actually required you to rub a couple of brain cells together to get the most out of it. It was a rich and rewarding online experience. The depth of the game is staggering. But like most MMOs it's a huge time sink, and as such should be avoided in the long term.

Osiris Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think its pretty blindsided to suggest the game "sucked" outright. Once you left the initial region yeah things went downhill, but the initial instancing and storyline was a great innovation and one I might add that Blizzard themselves has taken this up quite significantly in the expansion outside of regular dungeon instancing. Graphics were a great improvement and it was nice to move beyond such cartoonish play. Gore, decapitations, seeing a corpse stumble around burning etc, all novel adult-esque things which were nice to see. Maturely geared content, twas nice to hear dialogue (where applicable) or see quests with some language more suitable to the environment. Classes were something different and quite nice, even the healing classes were fun which is a sharp change from a popular complaint of you know who. At the end of the day I went back to WoW myself largely just because the realm where all my characters were was as unpopulated as all hell. An MMO without ppl is like a single player game you will never get to complete or see all the content for. That being said, I get everyones complaints about it, my point is that I think it had some good qualities which would be nice to see in any MMO of that nature, WoW's king and good on it, but that doesnt mean we should settle for what blizzard doles out and accept that as the be all and end all.
