No, I left at 19. Took about 8 hours to get there.

So, the Messiah of MMOs is a solo-fest until ~20? That's just hilarious.

No, your hate for AoC is hilarious. Not surprising though...you did the same for GTA4. Hey Lao, since you don't like anything new....I have a Pong arcade game I could sell you....interested?

My review...2 thumbs up. This has been the smoothest launch of an MMO I have ever seen. Literally I havent crashed one time, servers are up, no bugged qsts encountered so far, nice people. You are doing yourself a diservice by not playing this game.


/goes back to playing...

You can group before 20, the white sands has an epic version for groups, and there are a couple group quests. But please act like AoC is the only one that has primary solo content at the start. It's not like you can't solo all the way to 70 in WoW, or solo all the way to 80 in EQ2.

The combat in this game is a great change from that of eq2 and wow. As a guard, you just don't stand there and swing your weapon. You can actually shift your shield around to block/avoid attacks as well as being able to evade attacks by movement.

Visually, this game is far superior than what I've seen in other MMO's. From the scenery to the characters themselves are very well done.

Grouping/Soloing is nice, you can go to the night time to do solo questing, or go to the day time to do the groups. Although, I haven't seen much need for grouping at the early levels, it's still pretty fun.

All in all, I don't see any problems with this game at the moment, could some arise in the latter part, sure, it's brand new and expected.

Its hilarious that because I don't like shiny perfumed boxes of shit, I don't like anything new. I personally wanted AoC to be a good game. I wanted it to be fun. I just haven't seen ANYTHING that would make me think it was worth the investment.

Well, it seems most people here really like it. I mean it's not a bad game, but I really don't see what the big deal is. I couldn't find anything about the game to make me wanna quit WoW honestly. Now, if I were still playing EQ2(I'm not insane, so I quit a long time ago), I would quit EQ2 to play AoC in a heart beat.
