Finally got the chance to get involved with supporter pack and future game test-access. Let's make the game worthwhile for everyone.
Tank for Hire and DPS
A+
I'll be watching closely.
While this post will hardly be seen or get recognition, I will still become a force to be reckoned with. Excited to be part of this community.
I'm Vextrakt, I'm a gamer and 3D Artist. I'm sad to say it's taken me until last month to discover this game's existence. I used to be an avid MMO player and have been turned off by the steep falloff of innovation in the genre as a whole. Watching interviews and endless videos on AoC lately has given me an immense amount of hope, and I'm just dying to see this team break the trend.
I'm most excited to stare at every environment asset in the starting zone for hours because I have no idea how to stop and enjoy video games anymore
Keyboard nerd, Living in linux when im not gaming, IT student.
I'm usually always a Mage, but when this game comes out i would love to test out more things. so far the weapons look amazing and the combat system looks real cool so far.
coming from POE and WoW
I am Algernon, I am really taken by what I have seen so far! I can't wait to start crafting! Salute!
In previous MMOs I have been known as Zodd The Immortal, or Lord Zodd. I stole it from the Berserk anime/manga when I was a kid. Though, I am totally fine if people Kneel before me thinking of Zod from Superman.
TLDR;
I am excited about this game!
I learned about Ashes of Creation a week ago when a friend sent me the TheLazyPeon YouTube video. I was skeptical at first, been burned too many times by MMOs falling short of their promises. Then of course after looking more into it, I am for the first time in many years actually excited and hopeful about an upcoming MMO. This game has every single thing I have ever wanted from an MMO, besides maybe being intensely VR haha. Someday NerveGear, someday.
I immediately sent that video to all my gamer friends and some non-gamer friends and the response was overwhelmingly positive. I would love to play an MMO with a big group of my friends, and this game might be the one to make it happen. No matter how it turns out I am grateful for the nerdy glee the hype for this game has caused me to feel. It has been a long time, and it is a true gift in and of itself.
I have been playing MMOs since I was like 15 (I think DAoC was my first) and as the veterans know a big part of the game takes place on the Forums. So here I am eager to get to know the other fans, even the weird ones. Especially the weird ones!
Mostly I have only lightly played MMOs in the past decade+. Trying to relive the glory days. So I have played and ditched a bunch of them.
The main thing I want out of an MMO is to see player impact on the world. To be able to participate in 100s of players vs 100s of players battles. Especially Sieges.
I peaked too soon with a little game named Shadowbane back in 2003. It had many features that make AoC so attractive to me. I managed to lead a guild of mercenaries on the Dread server for a good long while before I went off to college and left it in the hands of a friend. That then immediately ruined all of our hard earn reputation by accepting a siege contract from one alliance and then betraying them because the opposing force gave him more gold. Anyway, the Sieges in Shadowbane were before their time or the time when technology could support them. I still have nightmares of the fiendish sb.exe errors. I have been chasing the memories SB gave me for the past 17 years and Ashes of Creation might finally be where I create even better memories.
I haven't played any MMO hardcore since the original AoC (Age of Conan), which came out with their Siege system too late after release. I did really enjoy the end game Raids in that game though. Honestly, Funcom just released that game before the End Game was ready, and once everyone got the max level in the first 2 weeks and had nothing to do it was DOA. I still stuck with it for a while though, since I once again decided to be a guild leader and took the responsibility seriously.
I was an active member of the Pathfinder Online forum community. I invented Loincloth Wednesdays (Don't ask!). Alas, that poor game ran out of money and the amazing Sandbox MMO was dead even before arrival.
Every other MMO I have played was usually more like an ARPG where I would play with 2-4 friends and eventually get bored. I need the player vs player strife to keep me interested. I also miss the large communities that thrive in MMOs. Logging in and always having guildmates online to chat with is something everyone should have in their life. I have no Guild Leader asperations anymore, but I love the idea of helping grow a Node into a Metropolis and defending it with my life.
I will endeavor to become more active on the forums and get to know all the great people here!
So feel free to message me and swap old war stories. Or explain current AoC power dynamics lol
If we meet in-game on the battlefield, I hope we belong to the same alliance... For your sake
Veil Mistwarden, a veteran MMORPG player, and I'm looking forward to a new adventure!
Black Mage and Summoner are my specialties, but I've been there and done that.
It's nice to meet you all ! /salute
I guess I am just picky... but HOLY CRAP this game! I was late in discovering it, but the brilliance of the design principles alone are just unavoidable, and I am excited about a new mmorpg for the first time in a while. The mad lads went and tried to do ALL THE THINGS, and I am here for the attempt if nothing else. Really looking forward to learning more and more, and talking about stuff obsessively until release.
Edit: its been a while! looking forward to playing Alpha 2 now!
Taraniss is my in game name for the past 20 years. Looking forward to Ashes of Creation. Been following for a bit but finally decided to dip my toes in the water and invest in one of the packages for Alpha 2. Looking forward to many things in this game and watching it progress. Been the GM of legends for a while now. Former U.S. Marine and current restaurant manager in Vegas and streamer.
Not as seasoned as some here with MMOs. I started in the early 2000's with MMOs. First one I played to the point I could not put it down was LOTRO. After that was AOC and Rift. Pretty much everything in between that has come along. For me MMOs are just as much about the people you play with as well as the game. Been with Legends since LOTRO and looking forward to an Ashes chapter.
Heroes Fade but Legends last forever
I'm Breakfast (hopefully will be in game anyway), and I'm extremely excited for Ashes of Creation! I'm big on worldbuilding and roleplay, so I know Ashes will definitely be my cup of tea! I'm stoked for how the 64 classes will tango, how cool the mobs and flora will be, and I am exhilarated with the crafting and the shipbuilding mechanics! I aim to be active in the community, and great luck to everyone in the world of Vera!
