I am sorry, this made me giggle. Nice to meet ya, signed the gaming housewife. Not sure what ya mean by Desperate, been gaming a hell of alot longer then I've been a housewife. (Started out on pen and papers, gmed rifts for a while, Played Shadowrun, Vampire: The Masquerade of course, ) Played EQ pretty hard core (Erudite Ench in an end game raid guild), Played a Permakill game beta wont list the name, someone might accuse me of being a perv. I own a PS3, a PSP, Rockband, Guitar hero, all the FF series, WoW 3 acct's 5 70s, Play Warhawk, Motorstorm, Lair, Halo, Granturismo, etc. One Can be a housewife and a serious gamer. Only thing I am desperate for right now, is a my computer parts, and b a new game to play. More kiddies to kill, or laugh at in vent when they hear me talk.

em i will have one in a couple weeks when the buddy system opens up. its closed so far s o people can settle down into the game first
================
The more you travel in AOC if you can even call it that; the more dissapointed you become.
There's a difference between instancing, and a terrible lack of seamlesness.
We all accept that instancing open zones has it's pros and cons.
It aggrivates me however, that basically the main way to travel is by boat, to some region, which isn't even far far away across an ocean. Everyone travels the same. You cannot 'explore.' It's as if every zone has a strict purpose in that it provides quests for a level gap, and then you leave, probably to not return for a long while, if ever. You move from one spot to the next, having to boat or 'zone' numerous times to get around.
Take Khemi for example. When you get there you can clearly see land and objects in the distance. Try swimming to them. Oh err what's that..a nice invisible wall. Not in the middle of the ocean, but right there in the middle of a populated area. So swim north, you'll eventually make it to some land. And then run around it..you'll find lovely tiled textures and sudden drops into the floor/world. It's entirely unfinished. The map shows(when zooming out, or using the world) map, that there's a whole continent to traverse, yet you reach the ends of the local map, and it's nothing but water all around... ???
I'd much rather have less out door zones for larger ones, with more instanced dungeons, than a bunch of small outdoor zones that touch each other physically, but require you to travel completely out of your way, and take a different path, simply because they couldn't be bothered to code it. Hell, I'd even take going back to old EQ 1 where you zoned into an invisible line; at least that was more seamless.
And ya, the so called 'dynamic' combat is really getting tiresome. As much as I like the idea of having to actually TRY at an MMO, it's becoming an uneventful and boring chore more than anything.
Whoever said it before, yes, they never can get an MMO right. Here's to hoping Bethseda's Elder Scrolls MMO actually works.

What is the buddy system? One thing that should be implemented: If you are the group leader in a group, you should have the power to teleport any group member to yourself (in non-combat situations). I hope this is a part of the "buddy system".

The fact that it made you felt the need to tell us otherwise, pretty much solidifies my point ; oh and the 'giggle' too
Nice resume; I'm sure it's helped make you a wonderful spouse.

More giggling, so sexist comments that elicit response are proof of your original position of implying that somehow housewives alone are desperate if they are gamers? What? Am I supposed to watch soap operas, and quilt like a good little housewife? Perhaps you could stereotype my gender and marital status some more. Want to make hasty generalizations about a gender etc. expect response dearie.
I hate to inform you of this, but Transsexuals, housewives, females, gays, teenagers, all play video games for there own reasons, and often those reasons are the same as the ones you have for playing the same video games. Actually the base reason is normally the same, we like “shocked look” gaming.
And I am going to cry, /wipes away a tear, you tried to insult my wifely skills. Now you have chuckles and caustic sarcasm.

I just went back to playing a bit last night after a few days off...the buttonmashing isn't so bad for PvE but I think it's a pretty crummy PvP game

See that door there..? It leads outside. Do you know what's outside? Have you almost forgotten?
Despite your apparent dislike of me, you should trust me on this.
GO OUTSIDE, I PROMISE, IT'S "OP!"
===============================
I'm still running into the late loading texture issue. Seems it's inevitable at higher resolutions.
I've determined that increasing the system memory texture cache is a bad idea. You may gain a slight FPS increase, but I cannot stand late loading textures so..I'll sacrifice if need be.
Other than that...not sure what else can be done. Looks like it's down to the new video cards to make the difference.

Yeah I think the pvp system (as far as server-wide PvP goes) is crap. Dunno what they can do about it though, as the core mechanic of the combat system is what makes it so terrible.
More assumptions and more , I garden, camp, fish, hike, build things including the house I live in, operate heavy equipment, jet ski, boat, Off road. Nope haven't forgotten the outside Actually I am rather fond of it outside And no, I don't hate you or even dislike you, I unlike you don't assume to know you. I just know what you're saying and its A. not true, and B. Generally annoying.

The oddest thing I've noted graphicallyis that if I change the "gamma" setting in any way the game stutters and becomes virtually unplayable. Might be just my system, I have no idea.
Gamma 0% and everything runs pretty well 50-60 fps
Gamma 1%-100% fps drops to 8-12
