Tell me about AoC

[WeniX]

First:

Hello everyone!
It's been a long time since last I visited this forum. Nice to see that some of the old guys are still hanging around :)

So..

I'm considerering starting to play AoC, but as usual I will need to make it absolutely sure that it is worth the money. (yes, Im greedy. But mostly I need to know beacouse I could get addicted to a bad game and I will much more be addicted to a good one - that makes sense, right?)

I havent played the beta so what I know is basicly what I could find out at the homepage and some clips I found on youtube. The grapichs looks very nice and all but Im still in doubt about the gameplay. What concerns me is that there is no talk about group-questing. Working in team is what make MMORPGs fun, at least in my opinion.

Can someone give me their point of view on this?

And..

This is maybe a wierd question, but Im also wondering if I should invest in some Funcom stocks. At the time being its priced at about 50NOK. Analytics imply that with 1 million subscribers the game stock will rise to about 80NOK. That corresponds to a 60% rise!

sooooo.... Do you guys think the game is good for 1 million subscribers?
