It's a bit like saying "well, the BMW M3 is just another $50,000 sports car, it's just a little faster and I like the interior." Doesn't that still make it an amazing car? To some extent I think all MMOs require a substantial time commitment to even get the feel. I know in LOTRO I didn't get a sense of it until maybe 20 hours in. I didn't really get hot and bothered about AoC until I hit the harder group content around level 30-35, and some of the instances from there have blown away Moria and the Balrog, my previous high spots. But ultimately, if it doesn't work, eh, that's OK. We've got lots to play with.

Just wanted to do a little thumbs up: I've just read your whold 99 pages Archive (work is a little slow these days) and I find you damn interesting :p I'm... Gonna try out WoW, and am waiting for WAR, partly because of you, now. And considering my reluctance to get into MMORPG despite my friends, that's saying something. Keep up the articles coming, man!

Every MMO requires macros and key bindings to be a smooth and enjoyable experience however AoC is nothing like WoW, hence the appeal.The game is absolutely spectacular and the battle system is highly more complex and entertaining that of the "twelve year old" simplicity of mashing buttons and running in circles on WoW. WoW is completely outdated and their graphics engines as well as gameplay need to be retired. Seriously. The Wrath of the Lych King is Blizzard's last hope in maintaining any sort of respect in the MMO genre. Between the monthly feeM horrible servers with no proper maintainance and pathetic random patching and tedious beginners quest, WoW is a bust. How many brain cells does it take to kill ten wolves for hide and bring back for xp? Not much. Lvl 80 and a new class does not inspire me to continue playing this outdated and overall pathetic game. Video games are more than just charging people monthly fees for mediocre polygons and frumpy looking characters, its an art and a pass time that deserves respect. that which Blizzard does not deliver. The game was great prior to Burning Crusade even with its horrible download times and server disconnections but now the game is dominated by foul mouth no talent kids who race to get the next epic piece of armor and one strike kill their enemies with no skill whatsoever. They had four years to make the Lych King expansion something to look forward to and be memorable. Instead its a huge disappointment and more and more people are spending their money updating their computers for AoC rather than saving up fifty plus dollars for Blizzards last stand. As it should be. Hopefully SC2 will be as fantastic as it's planned to be. Stick to strategy and tatics games.
