[AoC] - Subscribed or Cancelled?

nicuss · 06-23-2008, 09:47 AM

One month is up, or about to be up depending on location/early access/etc. Have you paid for the next month or cancelled it? If undecided vote when you decide!

I know they won't publish their retention rate (unless it's really high), so maybe this poll can shine some light on it.

Subbed for 3 months. Usually do.

You can't judge a MMO in less imo. There are exceptions of course...but AoC had a fine start, lets just see if they can keep pace.

LexarkT11 · 06-23-2008, 09:56 AM

Canceled.

Want to give the game some time to develop.

I'm sure I will be back.

It didn't "hook me" like EQ and WoW did so I canceled.

Tuco · 06-23-2008, 10:03 AM

Still subbed. The game is enjoyable, I have a lot to do at level 80 and my guild is counting on me.

Very pretty, glad I played for a week, won't be back though. Much like LOTRO once the new game smell wore off it was time to shelve it.

Really enjoyed the time I played, but once I hit 54, it lost its lustre due to lack of content and performance issues. I'll resub once they add more content and my guildmates start playing.

Vehn · 06-23-2008, 10:10 AM

still playing, although it's only for less than an hour at a time, considering I used to play for several hours at a time. Just no motivation / reason to log in other than for sieges / armorsmithing stuff. Hopefully it changes once PVP system is put in

Pyros · 06-23-2008, 10:17 AM

Still have 3 days on mine, I think I'll cancel and check the next patch(on thursday, and maybe next monday too). If it shows any kind of PvP improvement they said they'd deliver, or any kind of remotely thought out fixes for the necro or any other class, I might resub for another month. Currently while I was happy with how fast they patched, they don't fix much every patch, at all. And they take forever to finish their demo/necro reviewing, while other classes have received close to no fixes in the meanwhile(even simple ones).

Your Funcom Account has been frozen because you requested a cancellation.

I would be willing to play on test if stays free. Otherwise I'll wait a good while before subbing again.

Elsebet · 06-23-2008, 10:33 AM

Tried out a raid last night, was pretty fun even though I'm only level 74. Subbed and staying that way for awhile (I hope!).

I know, the jury is still out on if females having a slower melee attack speed is good or bad.

CANCELLED.

Morannon · 06-23-2008, 10:47 AM

Unsubscribed. My time is better spent playing WoW and enjoying what it offers, rather than paying to wait for content that could possibly make AoC sufficiently entertaining to play instead. I want to see AOC succeed, but at the present, with limited play time, it just doesn't make sense to subscribe to it, and while I'm not averse to carrying subs to multiple games at once, I'm only going to do so if both games offer compelling reasons for me to log on and play NOW, not later.

Presarc · 06-23-2008, 10:50 AM

Canceled. I'm looking forward to WotLK and after hitting 50 or so I didn't really get into AoC. It looks pretty, it just didn't suck me in (frankly because of so many fucking bugs and issues).
