I just have to say after playing WoW for 2 yrs and LoTR's for 4 months,AoC (countless bugs aside) is a great game and yes it's a shitload fun to play.I to rebuilt my computer to run AoC and was disapointed with the eye candy,combat system is insane and the fatallities are also insane. Reguardless i wont be playing WoW anymore,ive done all there is to do in WoW and it bores me to death WoW so AoC is fresh breath in MMO's with it's bugs and glitches,which i hope they fix up very soon.

This is a game meant for mature adults who don't want cartoons to run around with, emphasis on the mature; not all of the idiots are under 18. AoC was meant for old people, who like blood, boobs, and... well, fire. Lots and lots of fire. And blood. ANd more fire. And a little electricity. But mostly fire. And boobs. And as for the guy who said he saw a lack of mature content... boobs? Blood? Decapitations? Fire?
