I'm quitting Age of Conan.

Why? It's too buggy.

There are a bunch of other problems with it, things that make it less appealing, such as...

• All of the races are the same.
• The classes are not interesting.
• The models look like crap, wooden and ugly and badly animated.
  
• The voice acting is boring and annoying.

But the bugginess is what really kills it. I'm constantly dying for no apparent reason. I died because I got aggro'd during a quest sequence. I died while the bad voice actor droned on and on, while I couldn't do anything.

The combat is much more active, you have to stay much more focused, true. But that makes glitches much worse. Lag is much more apparent. Death by lag or glitch is a constant occurrence.

It comes down to this: even if the game was really attractive, the bugs would be deal-breakers. But the game isn't attractive, it's boring and annoying and stodgy...

So I won't be back, even after the bugs are fixed. I don't like the game.

Here's hoping Warhammer Online gets big-world pvp right. I loved that aspect of AoC.
