I lol at AoC now. It was the most hyped MMO in the last years and see where it got now. Even if i never tried it, i have read enough about it to know it is lacking alot and only a WoW clone with nice graphics, big tits and much blood. I am happy to have sold my damn two freebie items from the AoC website for 30 Euro on eBay. I lol at the fanboys too for that. Their playerbase is running away quick, look at the stock market: FUNCOM N.V. EO -,40 (NL0000062461, A0H0E1) - Profil - Aktien, Aktienkurse - ARIVA.DE
They are worth less than one year before the release of AoC. They should have learned of the failed releases from other companies and their own Anarchy Online crap.

Oh, and i lol at Warhammer Online too. Its even more WoW than AoC and they are constantly kicking features out of their release list too. The only other alternative is EvE if you like the system. Its at least different to the WoW clones. The future is Darkfall, which should release this year i hope.
