Heya Diocletian! Welcome to our little neck of the woods. Ya.. we all can't wait for Aoc to come out, hopefully it's going to be relatively soon!

I agree about SWG.. I was following it before release and was blinded by the SW lore. When I came around to playing it, it didn't last too long for me. It.. just didn't float right, so to speak. I believe if they went at it with a different approach it could have been much better. On another note, I feel the same about EQ2. It's a better game then SWG (IMO), but it still wasn't what I was looking for. I was hoping that it would be similar in difficulty and challenge to that of the original Everquest, but it just wasn't.. at least for me. Then Vanguard came around and it was supposed to be the "next Everquest" in challenge and such, but I believe they are trying to hard to cater to the masses and be the next big kid on the block. I think AoC offers it's own niche, and it might be a big niche for that matter, but it's doing something different and although it's very appealing to alot of people out there, they don't seem to be trying to get 110% of everyone under the sun. Ok, I'm starting to ramble lol.
