Wokie Talkie
- Comments on AoC possible failure
- Danny Internets says:
- It would be really unfortunate to see AoC come to an abrupt and early demise. While I haven’t been intrigued enough to make the leap like I was with Warhammer (probably because I play the tabletop game), AoC has a more mature appeal that I find, well, appealing. (And not just because it has breasts and gore (not that I have anything against breasts and gore.) Frankly, the MMO scene needs more competition because our options our dwindling. For classic MMORPGs our choices are basically limited to WoW, WAR, LotR Onine, and AoC. So many games, even some good ones, have crashed and burned because they can’t pull subscribers away from WoW, which is sad because WoW has been in decline or at least stagnant in terms of quality for a long time now.
