sucks,i was gonna try age of conan but i cant find where to make a forum account plus i think its incredibly lame you can only pick 4 classes out of the 12 that are availible

You get what you pay for.

I tried AOC and did not care for it at all

Does the free version still "has teh bewbs"? I played that when it was first released and the first 20ish levels seemed pretty well done. Once you left the starter city, it became apparent that the first 20ish levels were where almost all their work had gone.

3 out of 4 female characters you would come across would be running around without clothes on. 99 of every 100 of those female characters were played by guys.

Typical attitude from someone that doesn't want to pay for the game he's playing.

There are some good things about AoC, but I won't play it for 2 major reasons that I apply to all MMORPGs. One, I don't play games where you can buy items with real money that effect your abilities in combat, and two, I don't play games where the F2P players are mixed with the subscription players.

In my opinion, the quality of player has gone down hill in a major way in MMORPGs (I've played various one since the first year of Everquest). Most of them today have no clue what supporting the RP elements of an RPG with other people in it means, much less have any desire to actually play in a world as part of it. You don't have to get heavy into roleplaying, and I never have, but don't mar the experience of other players by naming yours "roflcopter", or "Ipwnnoobs" or the like in an RPG. (Those are great FPS names, but they don't belong in MMORPGs.) F2P players are even worse; they bring more of the mentality "I should get whatever anyone else in the game gets because I pay the same fee" mentality to the game, but expect to get it for free. I give you in evidence the OP here. They mark themselves by falling for the "F2P" tag to begin with; "Free to Play" isn't free, and figures have shown that game companies make more on F2P than on subscriptions - meaning, ladies and gents, you with your F2P account will likely spend more on whatever the game has for sale for real money than you would if you paid a monthly fee. You could play for free, but the likelihood is, you won't.

AoC has other problems as well, for me, what I want out of an MMORPG and in particular one called Age of Conan, but I still might play despite those issues, except for the above 2 which are deal-breakers. Some of what it has is better than most any other MMORPG out there; many players have played it since day one and still love the game, today. It's far from "all bad".
