Everything looks great but I've read reviews on redundancy issues in gameplay. Eidos has also had financial difficulties in recent years and that'd be a sign to be wary. Blizzard is hands down THE company that throughly develops, tests, supports, and balances their classes (not perfect granted) better than any other gamemaker. And they have alot of money for it. I'd wait on AoC till the verdict arrives.

Played WoW since 2004. cleared ony. mc, bwl, aq40 and the 20 mans prior to expansion and kara, mag, all but last boss of ssc and 4/6 in zulu. I'm not the best but i've been around in WoW. I picked up AoC and started it right around release. If it's the monotany of "auto attack walk away" you are looking to get away from this is it. Melee dps is all about the combo's and depending on where the mob is defending the combo you choose could be a wasted attempt or deadly right off the bat. Caster dps later in the game (lvl 40 i think) get the ability to spell weave. Imagine loading up a pyroblast and 2 fireballs the pressing cast and seeing what happens. Kinda like that with the downfall being if you layer to many there are negatives to the caster, maybe death. Healers are very viable with the dps. Like shadow priests, bear druid, and elemental shaman all with good healing ability naturally. thats kinda what the "healers" are like. Tanking I can't speak from personal experience but i know its skill based. Was with a guy who just worked on agro and was getting his @ss kicked by an elite. @ man we were just killing it before he would go down. He started using his defensive abilities (that are real time) and all of the sudden he would be at 65% when the mob went down.Wheres the downfall you might ask? The chat interface needs some work. Some (like 3%) of the quests i've gone after are bugged. There are a ton of quests btw. Party interface is eh. If you are into pvp, guilds can own their own castles/bases. Other guilds can attack and try to take them over (certain arranged times for this to happen) World pvp is wide open on the pvp servers. lvl 80 can gank lvl 5's in a lvl 5 zone. Very much a dog eat dog, gy camping world there. There are pve servers though. MiscelaneousEvery zone is an instance that can be set to epic level. Gear drops accordingly. Dungeons are their (instances) and all can be set to epic level. 6 man groups, don't know about raids. All dungeons show up on the map and show level ranges on them. There are alot of end game dungeons all over the place. Most every green (and up) i've seen is bop. Dying results in a tombstone dropping where you died and you getting ported to a gy of YOUR choice. there are multiple in every zone. No more 10 minute walks to your body as a ghost. You hit the gy alive. Penalty is minor. Not even noticable, but they will stack. Removing death penalty is easy as clicking your tombstone. All toons can stealth to some ability or another. Your choice as you have to assign your skill points as well as your feats (talents).I'm having fun playing it. The new look at real time skill based combat will weed out a lot of the noobs in my opinion. My profile allows e-mails if you want anything else or more specific. just drop me a line.
