    Those bitches stole my idea!!

    Haha, just to let you all know, they finally got a fuckin trial up.

    I stuck with this game for about 2 months before i got frustrated and left. The game has really advanced though, if it was the lack of content or bugs that made you quit/not start, i really suggest checkin it out, this games gone a long way.

    I remember when everyone was asking about a trial, well here it is. IMO its an extremely fun game, bloody combos and chopping off heads really feels good after playing other MMOs. If your a fan of the genre, youd be stupid not to check it out, especially now.

    This is a brutal fucking game, try it out!

    Even a trial dosent make me want to play this game. Nothing to do with the game but the MMO genre in general. Personally I find trials dont really work with MMO since its such a short time. Even with the 30 days from purchasing an MMO I generally dont get far enough to differentiate it from other MMO's or get invested in it. Plus for most MMO's (except Everquest wierdly) you have to download the entire game to try it which for most "modern" recent MMO's (except Eve Online I think) is 3gb's plus which for me is unacceptable since i can download at a max of 120kb/s and theres people with worse connections. Especially since I tried to start Star Wars Galaxies and my trail ended before I downed it :| Had to make another account to try it out for a few hours and realise I didnt like it.

    I tried AoC like a month ago and I still couldn't get into it. I had fun for like a week and then I was done. There still seems to be a lack of endgame to me.

    So, I'm getting the trial now. I thought that the hour of waiting for the downloads was a-okay.

    But now I have to wait ten hours until I can play the damn game? Holy living shit. Maybe I should leave my computer on overnight or something.

    Anyone have any recommendations for people just starting? Also, can you re-download the trial again/multiple times? DO you have to wait the 11 or so hours, if so?

    @JJOR64:    I quit the game after launch but returned in March and am still having a blast. I don't mind paying for ongoing entertainment.   If you do try it,  try the game on a few different servers though. I hated the game on Agony, but ended up loving it on Cimmeria.  The servers are vastly dfiferent in terms of people and how they act.
