The forums exaggerate issues WAYY out of context. Its like the Boston Massacre on the official forums.

Thats because the issues are bad, game breaking and fully justified.
My AMD X2 6000+, 4 Gb RAM and HD4870 struggles with it at basic settings. I have attempted to resolve my issues both on the AoC forums and on Anandtech to no avail.
The EU Technical Support forums for AoC are filled with people with Out of Memory errors and performance issues with a wide range of hardware going from the Minimum Spec to the Quad Core + GTX280 range.
It is the sole reason why I cancelled my Subscription. The framerates are unplayable and not much fun when you regularly dip into the low teens. I do enjoy the back game though.

The AoC forums are a cesspool. So is my server (Deathwhisper). The worst day in the WoW Rogue forums doesn't hold a candle to the fog of shit known as the AoC community that hangs over this game, slowly choking the life out of it. Leveling up on Deathwhisper is like taking a guided tour of the museum of defective personalities and stunted emotional growth.
As bad as some of the technical issues are and as ill-conceived as some of the gameplay mechanics are, the worst part of this game, by far, are the people playing it.
So is it the kiddies? Or really guy's in their 20's with a dick complex?
I'm still somewhat tempted to try this.
The video was great but what's up with the wall to wall AoC ads all over the place while he basically trashes the game.

Well I found this to be funny and I still play AoC 2-3 times a week. When you peal back the veneer of most MMO's you will find what he says to be true. EVE is a bit different because its not PVE based and doesn't really try to be anything but a harsh sandbox with consequences to actions.
The AoC forums are horrible. Its pretty easy to get AoC working really well. Go into the video options and hit defaults, restart. Go into the video options, hit High Quality. Apply. Adjust sliders and options until you get what you are looking for. You might have to delete a shader cache file but I haven't yet on my AMD or Nvidia system. I would bet there are a lot of people who just don't know their computers or are impatient twats crying to Funcom to fix their problems for them instead of spending 15 minutes adjusting things.
My HD3850 can get 40 fps in 1680x1050 there is no excuse for anyone else not to get it on their C2Ds. Another thing to do is make sure Windows Search Indexer is turned off!!!!! Your hard drive will constantly chomp away which will decrease FPS. Games aren't getting any smaller people.

Does he ever say anything positive in his reviews about any game?
"This game [mostly] sucks. Don't play it. Go outside and do something more productive like humping sheep or building yachts"
As for the AoC forums [and any MMO forums] - usually they are filled with [quoted from ayabe] "guy's in their 20's with a dick complex?" who are bored at work and need something to make the day go by faster... or "l33t k1d113s" who have capped toons.

The above do NOT work for me as I have attempted to do them several times both on my 8800GT and on my HD4870.
I have tried these and many more suggestions but AoC still runs like a snail in a hurry.
The ones who say they can get it working totally fine are a lucky few.
I know hardly anything about this game, but as usual The Escapist does not disappoint. :laugh:
That was perhaps the best part of the whole thing.

Deathwhisper is the unofficial "official" home of all the major MMOG PvP guilds since Ultima Online.
