Yeah, I know, the problem is they claimed my key was working when it actually wasn't. GOnna write them another email a bit later, since they haven't answered mine.

man the support for AoC is shit.

key-replacement@ageofconan.com

edit: just tried to login to the retail forums, 6 days later its finally working. Checked my account status, and its now "playable until 2008-06-30". Slow service, that doesn#t speak with you, but at least its finally fixed. GOod luck Eric, it'll just take about a week of yelling at them. Try spamming them with links to Warhammer Online websites, guides, forum-posts, etc.

Then sum up your mails by saying "Poor service won't keep me playing your game, look what I've been doing with my spare time... <WAR Links here>"

Well, in the end, its more of amazons fault... the fact they took the money already and have no shipped it pisses me off greatly. I am not paying twice for the same product. Amazon's response to this matter was "We're trying our hardest to get everything out..." etc.

Funnily enough, I did mention in the beta forums that I was going to just go play Mass Effect...

Edit: Which my copy of that didn't show up today at gamestop like it was supposed to. They said "maybe" tomorrow. The guy who runs the place made a sad but true joke about how they're pretty sure I'm the only person who plays, let alone buys, PC games in this town.

Good choice. I've been waiting to play Mass Effect forever, almost broke down and bought a console.

AoC ... just something to differ slightly from WoW for a few months for those who are bored. Between AoC and Warhammer though, AoC is in significantly better shape.

All I know is i'm glad im out of WoW. Between that and EQ it's humorous how much of my life i've wasted on MMOs

No more of that shit!

I don't find MMOs so bad, seeing as how I play mostly with friends who are around the world. 15 bucks a month is cheaper than plane tickets.

MMOs arent bad when you play casually. They are bad when all you do is play them. That's what I was inferring. The more time you put in, the more hollow you feel when you realize it fully.

Yeah, not sure how I held back. I wanted a console for both Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect, but Assassin's Creed was rather boring/repetitive. Anyways, Mass Effect is out for PC now, will be playing it tonight!

So I've had GTA 4 for a few days now and I'm feeling like it's just GTA 3 in a different setting. It's actually even less fun because there's no wide open spaces for which to avoid police for miles on end.
I'm worried that I'm participating in a strange phenomenon known as maybe I'm too old for video games

Jonathon, I've noticed that you keep on mentioning your age in every other post you pen your name to. Are you really having a mid-life crisis at the ripe old age of 30? God damn, what marriage and children do to some people. You need to take up rock climbing or something of that sort to get your youthful juices flowing again. Fucking aye man, you sound like you're about ready to roll over and get your prostate examined.

dorian gray · May 29th, 2008, 06:59 PM

I'm honored that you even noticed my posts

hm, dorian IS crazy!

Mass Effect is fucking amazing. I'm surprised I pretty much ignored everything about this game till the PC version came out, because it is definitely worth of attention.

I attempted to model my character into a Charlize Theron in Aeon Flux look... it failed. But good game none the less!
