MAZA on Age of Conan?

[PlutoNick]

So, yes, I preorder Age of Conan. One for me and one for my wife. I might even buy a new pc for it.
I know Smoke has preordered it too.
Are you interested in a MAZA guild? I sure as hell will try to make one. Smoke, will you join? Perhaps your friends too?

Ilias? Are you interested?

To all eve mazas, AoC reminded me of EVE a little bit. WIth it's guild pvp, and how guilds could make 'out of game alliance' via forums, and try not to attack each other in order to attack a third guild and control it's town...

Ahh, i started playing runescape again, i feel so cheap, lol.

[PlutoNick]

is it free?

[nuLL]

Yeps u are cheap about the Runescape

And Yes we preordered AoC also.

I even payed 15usd to fileplanet to participate in the open beta starting may 1 so ill be ready to play at 17 or 20 when my preorder comes

I have high hopes about this game it will be the next gen of mmos? who knows but most of the feedback we get from beta testers and the gamespot pvp weekend its like 85% positive.

Tbh as im watching closelly the mmorpg.com forums people have been tired from the old mmo's that we play they want something new refreshing and no more clicker wise mmo's etc we also want to see some mmo push the genre abit coz its like stationary for 4 years now
Lets hope that AoC will do just that and don't expect a ready product. Expect alot of bugs in release but we all hope that Funcom will be able to fix them fast.

Also www.mazanet.gr its now getting some feeds from the game progress news so keep an eye and our news also will feature often new AoC related content.

Runescapes free, but you pay to be a member and get extra skills and have access to the entire map, but lets not go off topic here, lol. Ive looked at some videos of age of conan on youtube, it looks awesome, reminds me of Rastan a little bit, but that may be the time setting.

I'm afraid AoC pvp is gonna suck major ass

[nuLL]

Why coz WoW PvP is so superior? lol!

[zoldar]

Ti lol paliaderfes, otan paizate wow kai kanate pvp to ek8eiazate. Wowfairies

[PlutoNick]

ta exeis xasei zoldar. lol eipe o smoke pou einai uper tou aoc..

[nuLL]

I never said that the WoW pvp is good i played wow for other reasons.

The best Massive PVP i had it was with EvE.

[jarrod b]

Whats wrong with the pvp?

[zoldar]

With pvp in general nothing.

With pvp in WoW also nothing, as it is nonexistant there.

Malakes I have also preordered

[PlutoNick]

So help me build a good pc for age of conan that is also not extremely expensive.
Zoldar helped me with the current candidate but I have my doubts. Help me with the following

1. It uses ddr2 [which is more than 50% cheaper than ddr3 and I think ddr3 is not that much better than ddr2]. Am I thinking correctly here?
2. I got 2giga of memory. Is that enough or is 4gig the new standard?
3. I got an old mo-bo. Basically I dont need SLI, and that mobo does not support ddr3. [read note 1 too]. Do you have any other mo-bo to suggest. I am trying to keep costs down though. ANd i need it to be PCI-E v.2
4. Any other suggestions? I will skip buying a monitor [i got a 19' LG] and I might buy a 21'' later in the summer..]. I also need an onboard soundcard 5.1
5. I am torn between a 8800gt and a 9600. I think 8800gt is more expensive and better than the 9600. is this correct? Which would you chose?



Oh, and would you suggest plaisio.gr, multirama.gr or e-shop? which is the cheapeest?

[blackdog_kt]

Well, i can only comment on the RAM size issue as i haven't checked PC specs in a long time. Even if you have 4 gigs, you only get to use 3-3.5 unless you're running Vista. On the other hand, Vista is generally slower with games than XP service pack 2 in a lot of benchmarks. I don't know what happens with XP service pack 3 as i haven't tried it (leaving for the army in a few days and i can't be bothered to do a format and a clean install).

Nevertheless, i would get 4 gigs because 2 is barely cutting it with some of the new games, even if XP doesn't recognize all of your RAM. XP had some problems too but after the 2nd service pack it's been my most stable windows version ever. I suspect that at some point they will either fix Vista with service packs and you could upgrade to it, so why not have the RAM anyway? Even if they don't manage to do it, maybe they will release support for increased RAM in some XP update.

Hell, even if nothing happens, it doesn't hurt to have an extra GB of RAM, even when 1/4 of the total is going to waste due to XP. I think that since you're going for DDR2 it will be cheap enough anyway.

[PlutoNick]

yeah, but on the other hand i figured i could just get 2gig and then buy 2 more if and when i need them.

But now mentioned another dilema of mine... xp or vista. And consider also that I am getting a new pc mainly for conan which is optimized for dx10
