Slightly innovated game with a great story, a rare thing in the world of mmorpg gaming! Give this game a try.
If you are looking for a video game that has high entertainment value, pick this one. I never read quests in other mmorpgs, but I read them in AoC! The quests are mature, unique, and give you a sense of connection to the world and your character.
The innovation (other then the story) comes in the form of its no-auto attack system, and healers that are not heal-bots. Some people may find these two systems hard to adjust to, I was open to them myself, and enjoy the idea of my healer being both an area-effect nuker and healer (the best of both worlds really).
The graphics are great, and everything runs very smoothly on my mid-range machine. You may have to tweak some things, such as installing the latest video drivers for your card.
I am hoping the game continues to entertain me through to level 80, which seems a long way off right now.
Thanks Funcom! I've been waiting for a game like this for more than a decade!
