I'm really sorry, but the thread title is making me giggle in the most disgustingly juvenile fashion.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with the OP, as my experiences are almost identical, and having played a trial and now having found AoC not much different from WoW in the kind of people it seems to attract, I decided to take the plunge and subscribe to CoX.
And I love it. People really do seem nicer in this game, with heads as far removed from their backsides as possible.
my only regret is that I can't stop playing :P

You don't need to regret that

You can solo a lot of AoC

I hope so. I'll be playing it when my computer gets stuffed with yummy new stuff tomorrow so I can stride, unafraid, into the next generation of computer gaming.

Leveling to 50 is easy (hell can make 30 in maybe 12 -15 hours of play) from then on it gets tougher, and you have to do a lot of the repeatable quests, but your lucky, horse now only cost 1.75 gold to get (from l 40) rather than the 3 gold they used too.

i have to add to the idea the WoW wasn't solo friendly when i played it, lost of stuff was so absurdly hard to do that you were forced to group and the game punished you massively for being in a group by dropping of the XP hugely.
[/ QUOTE ]
All that and the colossal excitement WoW inspires in solo combat. Which would be none. In CoX playing solo for me is an exercise in horrific carnage, a non-stop act of ultraviolence that leaves vast hordes of my enemies broken and lifeless behind me. I don't go on missions, I commit genocide.

I liked WoW but then I leveled on a populated server as a "squishy" class during the initial wave of leveling, so solo you get this feel of being hunted, because you are!
But once everyones leveled and gone to end game raiding that feel goes too.

Oh you can give me a load of "WoW can be played solo!" pish if you want, but frankly I'm so tired of it I'll just hit you in the face with a brick instead of talking about it.

If you're happy being a mailman, messenger boy and grunt, sure it can be soloed.
Oops I forgot to add pest control into that list
[/ QUOTE ]
You've pretty much summed up all of CoXs missions as well.
Pretty much every mmo mission as well.
[/ QUOTE ]
I did notice that but I'm still living in denial borne of novelty :P. But even so, CoX seems to have something a lot of those other MMOs I played doesn't, and though i can't put my fingeron why, I just have a lot more fun here

The community 
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!
It is the people the players that makes CoX such a pleasure to play. This weekend I've been PUGing and not one player have I found to be anything but fun. No Idiots at all. (for those who teamed with Gas Mantle take a bow).
Happy to be on Defiant.

Never assume, sweetheart
Anyway, welcome, been playing for 3 years. I tried FF XI (but I need to actually go to work and earn money to buy things like food and a place to live...) and WoW (After 8 hours of loading: There has been an error. This program cannot initialise. THREE times...).
They do not compare in the slightest.
Enjoy your time here. And read the suggestions FAQ before asking for Wall-crawling 
Can never have enough CoX appreciation threads. Like most things in life that we have true love for, CoX sometimes does get right up my nose with its foibles, but ultimately I'll always come back to it. Unlike some things though, if I get bored, try something else, realise I should have never left it in the first place, it'll welcome me back with open arms.

I think one of the things about CoX is you can dip in and out or play it hard. Not many other MMOs you can do that with.

I nearly laughed my morning coffee out of my nose.
Time to get this out of my system:
Everyone loves CoX.
I love a bit of CoX in the morning but I so rarely have time before work.
My friends and I spent most of the weekend playing CoX hard.
Okay. I am done now.

I find CoX a bit hard.

Does it get any stranger when I say that my wife started off by playing with my CoX, until eventually she decided that it was so much fun that she wanted to get CoX herself. Now I have two lots of CoX, and my wife has one, and we're both very happy, never more so than when we sit down together of an evening and play with our CoX together?
