I think I'll need to hang my hat up on OC for now.
1. No 3G support. They have NO reason to not support 3G. Come on, Gameloft.
2. Android and iOS servers are not linked together. I enjoy playing on my Droid because the screen is much, much larger and my Droid has super-AMOLED screen technology that self-adjusts in various light intensities. Having two separate servers for two different device companies is just inane.
3. Gameloft forums are incredibly slow, full of spam and advertisements, and developers simply forward your threads to the Help subforum, where nothing is answered and everything is just pushed off in a mass of more spam.
I didn't even touch upon issues in in-game content because of all these basic problems that this game has. Until they address issues #1 and #2 I think I'd rather just stick to WoW on the computer. It's pretty sad I have to complain here because nothing will be seen on the Gameloft forums.

I was just semi-afk lazily farming this boss that also happens to be a quest. So when a quester (levels 53-55) actually shows up, I of course let them kill it. This one guys comes up and tries to team me. I refuse then back away so he can complete his quest. He sits there hacking at the mob and finally kills it, then messages me:
Shoulda teamed sucka!
I almost fell over laughing.
Love noobs.

Yeah not having 3G stinks, but the graphics blow away any other mobile 3G game, and it's open world, with who knows how many people running around. Yeah PL is very, very cool on the 3G thing, but only having 25 people in a small town is why they can do a global mmo over edge networks. I don't know much about 3G transfer speeds, but I'm assuming it wouldn't be a "smooth" experience playing O&C even if they did enable it. Just a lot of data to keep up with.
Hopefully they will combine iOS and Droid servers. Phy,we were talking the other night, you know, when you didn't believe who you were talking to and fell for that joe momma joke? Anyway, so do you have an iOS device too, or can we still chat even though you are on another OS?
Haha, Fluff, you sucka!

Beard, you were talking to him BECAUSE he was on an iOS device (and our server). Droid peeps and iOS peeps don't exist to each other, just like people on different servers.
And Phys, give it another chance! Get your iPod checked our first, bc I really don't think it should be heating up like you said. IMO, the good outweighs the bad. It's just a gorgeous game -- don't let those silly things get in the way of your enjoyment :P
Ok, makes sense. I remember him talking about his device over heating.
Saw this game today, I think I'm going to check it out. http://www.thegametrail.com/games/deadlock%253A_online

Any word on if repeatables will be worth exp when the cap raises? I have 5 stacks, and I could turn em in now and get 90 gold or wait and get 90 gold + 500,000 exp. Not a huge issue yet, but soon I might have to upgrade stash just to store em
Also, has anyone bought the 100 and 250 inventory upgrades?

It's 100 and then 180 then 300. I bought the 100 and 180 on my monk bc I was keeping several diff sets of gear so I never had any room.
And no word on the repeatables, as far as I know. I have sone but not that much. Might just trade them in so when the new content comes out I'll actually enjoy it properly.

The biggest issue is the steps I took to actually PLAY the game.
1. To play with friends on the same server I had to buy a $180 iPod Touch.
2. I have to tether my phone for a WiFi signal, rendering it useless for the time being, to connect to the internet on the iPod.
3. I quit using my phone as a WiFi device and had to purchase a $60 wireless router.
4. WiFi instability, lag, and disconnects prohibits my playing.
Put yourself in my shoes and you'd be furious too. And the whole idea of Gameloft having a subscription fee AND having the option to buy godly items in-game, paid for by runes/cash? Bad business.
In <7 days of playing OC I spent a total of $240 plus the subscription fee to play under tremendous WiFi lag (my service speed is anywhere from 14-21 Mbps and I have a brand new router).
In the 8 months of playing PL/SL I spent a total of $19.98.
F Gameloft.

Yeah O&C is pretty boring now that SL came out sorry you had to spend all that phys.
Wow, Phys. Didn't realize you bought it just for O&C. That sucks . Hopefully they'll improve on it and/or offer cross-compatibility so you can enjoy it one day.
It was mainly for OC and to have a device that I can play on if I need to use my phone for text/calls. Not a total loss, but still an expense. Money is of no concern for me but just because everyone else I know here is practically an iOS user put me at a pretty bad disadvantage (and since I don't have multiple laptops in my apartment, I never needed a wireless router until now for WiFi).

Guys order and chaos is now available on Facebook. And you guessed it, on completely separate servers. Still quite a feat. I here it's pretty laggy too, but I'm sure it's Internet connection based.
Did I read that right? Having a hard time picturing o&c being played through Facebook. Really hard time.
