Age of Conan.

[Tobias]

Oh god what am I getting into.

Speced to debuff. Jesus.

[Metal Teemer]

I don't have the money. :-(

Stupid not having a job yet and needing to buy things like gas and food.

[Raditzu]

AoC > food

You just buy the collector's edition and then use the big-ass box to bludgeon squirrels.

[Metal Teemer]

If the collector's edition was only 10 dollars more, I'd do it. But the whole nearly twice the cost thing is keeping me away from collector's edition.

[Raditzu]

Student Loans away-go!!

[Tobias]

Does the collectors edition come with a battleaxe?

[Reijin]

I'm going to assume its too late to buy a CE.

[Waffuru]

So far I'm really enjoying this game.

[Waffuru]

btw, we're on Zug PvE server.

Not a ton of servers are up for early access.

[Belle Hibiki]

Why in God's name would you release a game in stores that no one could play till three days after the fact?

That's just mean.

[Waffuru]

Dude, I can play. Wewt for early access.

[Metal Teemer]

No kidding. I even asked the guy at Gamestop if it was supposed to be released yet, and he's all "The servers are up". So I bought it. And now I can't play it. I love buying stuff I don't get to use. It's like buying tampons.

They got the game early so that the people who pre-ordered and had early access could use their retail/CE codes.

They aren't supposed to be just selling it.

Yeah, I found that out after reading the boards.

Oh well. They had one collector's edition left, and I got it. Even if I don't have EA, at least I get that sexy +2% exp and sta ring. Oh, and the drinking cape.

DRINK!

[Raditzu]

I'm most excited about the drinking cape, actually.

[Reijin]

I just ordered two copies of it on Gamestop.com It said the BONUS for the mammoth and bag and shit was included, but still waiting on those two emails.

I was at the store itself and they had it in stock. I asked the guy about the mammoth and bag and he was like "Oh, no, its not preorder now, the game is out." I'm like "Uh, its preorder mode till the 20th according to your site, because that's when the game servers come up" and he goes "Oh, its wrong, the game is released. We had the version with the Mammoth, but that was all that came with it, and we sold out of that one already. You must be talking about an online only special, sorry about that." I have a feeling they were early selling the "preorder" versions with the card that gave your code for the bonus stuff for a bit more and claiming it to be a mini-CE or something.

So I came home and ordered two on the site, overnight shipping. I hope its here tomorrow for when the servers come up. I don't think Erin's comp will meet the reqs given that she's onboard vid but we can always try. If not, I wasted some money, which will suck. Probably play on a trial till the games get here.

[Raditzu]

Seriously, I'm not sure they could have screwed that up any worse, even if they wanted to.

If you want trials, I'll have 5 of them by tomorrow. Prolly be a good idea to try it on Erin's with a trial first, so you don't have to open the box. Easier to sell off in case she can't run it.

[Reijin]

I'd make an AoC forum but no power.

If Erin's comp won't run it and you don't want to keep the account or w/e my brother might be wanting to get his own account so we might be able to buy it from you. Or just wait til she can upgrade or something. I don't know, just throwing that out there.

[Belle Hibiki]

I got the opportunity to play the game using my brother's account. Gotta say, I didn't expect my lappie to hold up that poorly. Even with nearly everything turned to zilch I've got 15 FPS in most cases... It's just messed up. I know there's less going on there than, like, WoW when I have everything turned up, but WoW is fine and this game is shitty.

Oh well. Now that I got graduation money, I'm upgrading to a Box. Should hold up fine, then.
