Hello everyone, long time mmo player here, Looking forward to this game. I have a huge amount of respect for the team making the game, and as a software engineer I hope to be as ambitious as the ones working on AoC!
Hey all, Willy here ^^
been a gamer for 25 years, playing MMO's for 13+ years and I'm 27 xD heard about this game only recently, supposedly it's going to be the next WoW competitor or such.. sounds interesting.. looking forward to it, I still have no clue when the release date is but.. I'll keep an eye out.
Hello everyone. I'm natticus, as it says up there. ↖️
I've been playing RPGs for 30 years and MMORPG's since the release of the original Everquest in '99. I was in the alpha for eq next before everything went sideways and it disappeared. Aside from that short lived excitement, I've been thoroughly disappointed by what the gaming industry has had to offer in the last decade in my favorite genre. I'm sick and tired of pay to progress/win, micro transaction, MMORPG's whose content and gameplay offer nothing new, and often take shortcuts which make already mediocre copies even worse.
Anyway, please excuse the rant. I'm excited to sink my teeth into this one! It honestly looks like what I've been waiting for since eq2.
Hello Internet Strangers,
I'm Stephen and I was an Army musician for the better part of 12 years. I am one semester away from graduating with my BS in Computer Science and I enjoy back-end and full stack development - I love databases. I play mostly Blizzard games as that's what I grew up on (the Warcraft gamut). Anyway, I saw the AMA today and this looks very promising. Lastly: shout-out to Steven Sharif from a fellow Hoosier!
Hello world i'm Aidex,
small twitch streamer, i've known about this game since 2016 and followed its progression now and then, lost a bit of interest over time but alot of news and information started popping up in the last weeks and i'm quite looking forward to the future of this game, i'll keep both my eyes and ears open.
Hi Everyone, Jimbo Slice checking in. I'm really excited about this game. I stepped away from the MMO world for awhile and am happy to see something that actually suggests real progress in the genre. I can't wait to dive in!
Good afternoon from Victoria, Australia. I'll be going by Melaleuca here and in-game. I'm really looking forward to playing a game that appears to respect those of us that mostly want to roleplay and focus on support or non-combat roles. I am interested in the combat as well as it is relevant to questing, but in most MMORPGs I feel like I'm pushed into content I'm not really interested in. I'm looking forward to just RPing my character and hanging out with others like me. Another really interesting thing about this game for me is its most unique feature, the node system. It's a perfect solution to so many problems, and will make the world feel really fluid and responsive to player activity. A lot more realistic. This will make the social structure of each server so much more important, and enforce respect of all roles. Me and my RP buddies won't be able to simply exist in harmony forever if we want to get anywhere. We will need to live under the protection of a node that has a healthy amount of combat-focused players, and conversely, these players will not thrive without us doing crafting roles and other things well. I suppose to some extent this is true of any MMORPG, but most of the time it seems that everyone is expected to do a bit of everything, whereas in AoC it seems like we'll be able to be highly specialised without any notable penalties.
I'm James and i've been playing mmo's since Meridian 59 (first graphical mmo). I played twenty years (jeebus) of everquest, an ungodly amount of wow, and have played and beta tested for nearly every single mmo that has attempted to make a footmark in the genre. To be quite honest, i feel as if the genre has been stagnant for almost two decades now.
I don't currently play any mmo, and for an mmo enthusiast, that really sucks. I feel as if the genre moved in a direction away from what the core of what made an mmo a unique and enjoyable experience - focus on community - and has absolutely suffered for it. It's reached a point to where it's hard to actually get your hopes up for an mmo as they usually end up just another cookie cutter attempt with maybe a slight twist of the already tried and whats clearly not true idea of what an mmo is supposed to be.
I've been keeping an eye on ashes of creation for quite awhile now, and will continue to do so. The interviews and videos with Steven has given me a lot of hope, i've been saying for years that the only way to save this genre is for someone that loves what these games were meant to be to produce and overwatch their own game.
Hoping to see some amazing stuff from you guys, and if you are ever looking for feedback from a grizzled and honestly jaded veteran of the genre, i'd love to.
Hey, I'm Garsto. I've been playing World of Warcraft on and off since 2005. I've tried many other MMORPGs but none have really hit the spot for me in comparison to WOW so I always go back. I wholeheartedly want to see Ashes of Creation succeed and scratch that itch that other MMORPGs could not reach. I have a good feeling that the community for the game that's building up is going to be a great one and it feels good to be a part of it.
Hello! I had no idea this game existed until TheLazyPeon put his video out recently. This is the most excited I've been for a game in years, I can't wait to play! I just bought one of the packages that grants access to Alpha II + Betas, when access opens up Ill be looking for people to play with!

Heyo! What's up?
This is Nudiggity and thank you for welcoming me.
I know nothing about this game except that it's going to be epic and there's something cool about property or something else. Either way, I'm diving in head first, what the heck. Let's stream it up

I started my mmorpg journey on Runescape in 2004 at a young age.
I have gotten to endgame in the following mmorpgs; Runescape 2, Flyff, Rappelz, Aion, Cabal, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, OSRS and Runescape 3.
edit: I have also played countless mmorpgs, from countless Korean mmos to plenty of recent failed westerns. If there is an MMORPG that gained hype in the past decade (like ESO, FFXV etc), I have played them and gotten to max level through the leveling experience (just not endgame).
I have grown to understand the psychology associated with gameplay loops in why people play MMO's and why WoW and OSRS are still, so successful.
I have studied games development from a design standpoint and due to growing up, almost failing secondary education through escaping the harsh realities of life through mmorpgs, I base my input on what is good for longevity rather than short term gains which players think would be good but harm the game.
I hope to provide detailed input on my opinions on how mechanics, systems and community can be improved for the value of a desirable experience, rather than a hand holding.

Hello world! I have been keeping an eye on this game for quite a long time and finally took the plunge. I look forward to seeing you guys in alpha, beta, and beyond!
I haven't really played MMOs much in the past but Ashes is the first one to have caught my eye. I'm hoping to be able to play in one of the beta tests but for the time being, I'm glad to be a part of the community!
Neverwake signing in, just purchased one of the packs in the shop, looking forward to seeing you guys in the Alpha and Beta! Super excited and can't wait to play!
Greetings Adventurers! I'm Sirius Indigo and I participate on the creation of a AOC facebook group to bring good content to our Brazilian mmo community. We are on the vanguard to become Ashes of Creation accecible to our player base.
We are VERY excited and following all the news and streams about it.
Hello, Phantom checking in. Heard about AoC a month ago and finally locked in my purchase. Really excited to explore this MMO's world which looks amazing.
I saw the stream with summit and shroud a few days ago, where Steven mentioned his love for Lineage 2
I'm Hooked... Played that game for many years in the official and private servers. This looks like the succesor that we, the L2 fans, were looking for.
I currently live in Chile, LATAM. Don't forget about us !!
I look forward to interacting with the community and watching the development of the game.
You guys, if you do this right.... man this will be good.

I haven't been excited about an MMO since 2009. You guys finally introduced something I could genuinly look forward too.
GJ on the latest interviews and content
