i dunno if this is a good idea - the combo's are something that really sets it apart from the crowd, and positioning is key.

Conan gets heavily featured in a Series 2 episode of Big Bang Theory where Penny gets hooked on it - sounds like its worth a try (and better than BBT's constant use of Halo)

No amount of patching's gonna keep this turkey floating.

Die. Die a slow painful death!

So bascally there stripping out everything the game was advertised for down to a basic MMO front as most of the advertised content either didn't work or never exstisted in the first place - thank god Turbine and Mythic learnt from past mistakes, Funcom havn't sadly...

If you sack up the 'new features and changes' it's pritty much a given that it's a total rewrite of the game - perhaps they'll do an eve and in a few years time it will be a quality product brought out of this mess, but it's the case of will it last that long to be able to do it?

The first 20 levels are a joy. All fully voiced and engaging. The switching between day and night elements works really well. And all class stories are interwoven - meaning you fill in the complete story the more classes you play. This is the first time i've seen this in an mmo and im surprised it works as well as it does (after all this is an MMO we are talking about - not a engaging single player narrative game)

Its a shame it all goes downhill once you get to the mainland.

Oh no.
The one thing that doesn't need changing in AoC is the combat mechanics, to revamp this will likely mean a dumbing down and we'll end up with WoW type whack-a-mole combat.

I'll say again...
do they really think that any amount of changes are going to overcome the lack of consumer confidence in this game?
They have a mountain of ill-will from former players to counter. many of whom are either back playing wow and enjoying the 3.02 patch changes and the halloween content or Playing WAR and lapping up the hugely enjoyable RvR (which delivers what AoC said it was aiming for right out of the box)...
