As Longasc said, I'm finding the quests annoying in AOC. The main problem for me is that they seem to require a whole lot of running around compared to other games out there. But I'm also impressed with the improvements they've made since launch. I resurrected my AOC account as well. As Longasc said, I’m finding the quests annoying in AOC.

I have to keep telling myself that there is a reason I left that game when the NGE hit, and a shiny new lightsaber and Force Lightning does not a quality MMO make because they've not changed a whole lot in the game since I've left from what I've read. I wish I had started playing AoC at some point because I'd like to give it a shot. I'm looking for a really casual MMO right now, and sadly, the best I can think of is re-starting WoW and leveling an old character to 80 on a new server.

I played that of a friend who did not subscribe and also did not want to come back for a while. I just left Tortage, and the 50 fps you mentioned drop to 24-26 in Tarantia, but my system is not that good, I guess this is acceptable. I will go to the Khopshef province as I already know the Wildlands of Zelata next. For some reason I find the do this, do that, kill this, kill that quests annoying - this did not happen to me in Aion, though Aion definitely has no other kind of quests, pretty generic, too. Oh well, let's see. I fear a lot of people will play 14-30 days AoC while waiting for Aion. They fixed bugs, but there are still some (my hair changes sometimes color while zoning) and bugfree does not mean new content either. They made gear more important and fitting to area/level of the player, but this is actually more the state the game should have had at launch, not at "re-launch".
