Asheron's Call 2 Q&A

"Question: Is this game worth the monthly fee?

Answer: No game is worth a monthly fee. "

BS! Playing an online game for 13 bucks or less a month saves me tons of money I'd be spending on other games that might last a weekend or so......

AC was by FAR my fav online MMORPG so far......but

I'm also giving AC2 a chance to see how it improves. If you all remember how bad Anarchy Online sucked at first yet it is a pretty decent game nowadays....I actually am enjoying AC2. It doesn't have half the problems AO did at launch. So no AC2 doesn't = ASS!

I am not saying I'm totally happy with the direction it took, but I have to say I am having a lot of fun with it for now.

As far as the game not going over 10K first wknd.....who cares. While it may be some indicator of popularity, popularity alone is not an indicator of quality...otherwise I guess Britney Spears is the best music available right? Probably what you listen to huh?

oneshot your comment is stupid there are many factors as to why it hasnt went to 10k, one being microsfts stupid new billing system which really did the launch in. Releasing in the US and canada only ad than 7 other countries dec 7th was absolutly stupid. That is why your numbers didnt go into 10k+ yet. It has nothing to do with the game itself. If you compare AC2 to every other release candidate mmog it has launched way smoother which much more content and all the systems actually working. Somthing DAOC EQ AO and even *gasp* UO couldnt do.

Turbine does somthing no-one else has ever done. they actually release monthly episodes with events and actual content. As well as your normal bug fixes and game improvment. They are planning on doing some serious Innovation in the monthly episodes this time around. Allowing for interaction, yes i said interaction, with the evolving storyline. Where players can actually change the outcome of an event. somthing you could not do before. In the original asherons call 2, and every mmog that actually does 'events' your start and end of each event is scripted. Where as with ac2 the start is scripted and the end is for the players to decide, literally. The Devs will mold the future according to what we the players decide.

So if you think a game completly customizeable with a working non combative crafting system. Attack combinations a la street fighter. More dungeons than any release candidate mmog. With actual content being released every month, along with a story episode that lasts a week, and comes equiped with cool trinkets items armor weapons and such. Is the defination of ASS than you must really be into doggy style.

HAHAHA this game makes me laugh my arse off. It's only just been released and it's population has already dwindled to the point that playing off peak hours is self masturbation.
I've never seen 2 bickering companies fuck up a game so badly.
Want some daikatana with your humble pie turbine/m$?

I've been playing for a bit, and have been enjoying it. It's certainly not perfect, but it is quite entertaining. If you played AC, you'd know that the monthly updates are where it's at. Unlike some companies which rape their fanbase for every ounce of cash, at least these guys pony up new content (and the inevitable bug fixes) once a month.

i just got daoc. i like it a lot. ive almost all of the mmorpg games, and i have to say daoc is my fav (anarchy online being second, and eq is somewhere at the end).

Question: Is this game worth the monthly fee?

Answer: No game is worth a monthly fee.

pvp in this game is fun. there isn't much of a penalty for death yet, but if you aren't interested in the silly pk points or whatever --- it's quite enjoyable.

the engine handles combat really well. FunFun.
