My best wishes to everyone for the coming year. Here's hoping for the best for our world, both AoC and 'real life.'
As for AoC, I have mixed feelings. The game is still buggy, and I'm debating my re-involvement. I'm enjoying running around killing stuff (I even ganked a guy in Atzel's!) but reading the boards makes me think I should wait a bit before getting deeper into the game.
I'd like to see patch 1.06 come out, frankly, and it could be a while before it gets put in. (It's on the test server atm, I should go check it out, I guess.) It has some features that look great. Will they go into the game, and when? FunCom sure is slow.
One thing that is a bit of a stopper... ex-Raiders who transferred off Tyranny server can't come back at the moment. That also may change. So I'm in a wait and see mode, but I am back and in game, for what that's worth.
Again, Happy New Year to the few, the faithful!
