Downtime is significantly shorter in DAoC. However, the drawback is that mobs aren't worth quite as much xp...so you're really trading downtime in for more fighting, but I'd call it a good trade-off. =) |

A Voodoo 3 will cut the cheese(I use one), but the game moves somewhat choppy with it. |

Thanks for the well thought out review Allakahazam. I can't wait for this game to be released. They have changed a lot since DoAC site went up. I missed the call to Beta, I was on a 6 month leave from playing EQ and all other online games. Just because I needed a break, <or was that my life back& |

Well I went from playing a chanter in EQ to a warrior in DaoC. THe melee is much more than EQ imho. It is active instead of passive. You can't just hit autoattack and walk off. You could but you would not be nearly as effective as another warrior using their styles. A style is like a special move. E |

Actual, the travel time isn't all that different from EQ. You don't have teleportation or speed buffs in DAoC(cept for bards, they zoom), but you don't have zone after zone of nothing but filler like in EQ. =)

Ok the game is not a finished product yet, need to keep that in mind. That is why it is still a beta. That being said, it still kicks ass. I was a beta tester for EQ and got lucky enough to Beta for DAoC. Almost all the stuff that people say the game is lacking is being added. Or is set up and not i |

I'm a former AC player, and silly though it may have been, I devoted a LOT of my xp to raising my run + jump skills. They cut down on travel time, and plus, it was just fun to be able to jump from building to building in Arwic, or sit on top of a lifestone and make fun of the recently deceased. In |

Well it looks like overall the game is going to be fun. As a ex-EQ player I would like to know one thing. How has the GM support been or how is it going to work? Has anyone called their technical support (if they have one during beta) and were they knowledgeable? Do they have in game GM and are they |

I think they said there were going to put in some type of storage place akin to the bank. As for the not being able to pick up...anti-twink code. Just have to make sure you have a buddy you can trust to hand it from character a to character b =) |

DAoC is a fun game with an immersive setting. EQ is a second job. DAoC learned from EQ, and UO, and the Darkness Falls: Crusade game which Mythic made a few years back. DAoC is more Darkness Falls than it is EQ. The only thing similar between EQ and DAoC is the fantasy setting and 3D interface. I do |

You ever hear of the term, "griefer"? as a high lvl paladin on Rallos Zek (Everquest), I can say the game will be better off with no communicating because of grief PKs and such. Play on a EQ PvP server for a bit and you will see =/. |

If you notice, eq does not show how many people are on each server anymore because they don't want you to see how many people they are losing. |
