Ok, I'm not playing DAoC at the moment but I've played the game for about 1.5 years and participated in the US and the EU beta few years ago. Since I've stopped playing, I've tried out some other MMORPG's. I will try to make a list of the games I've played the last few months:
*Ryzom
*Lineage 2
*Horizons
*Wise
*Knights Online
*Fung Wan Online
*Asheron's Call 2
*Ragnarok Online
And probably some others I can't remember at the moment. Most of the games I've beta tested, others buyed (like Horizons). After playing so many games, I came to the conclusio that there is really no MMORPG like DAoC. Doesnt matter which game I play and for how long, it just doesnt give me the fun and the special feeling DAoC gave me even in the beta of DAoC. I know we are all whining about some aspects of the game, but go play some other MMORPG's please and I'm 100% sure that you'll come to the same conclusion as me. I don't know but DAoC isn't just a bit better than the other MMORPG's, there is in my opinion a really big difference between them. If I would give DAoC a rating of 90%, the other games would get near 30% in my opinion. Just wanted to share this with you, I won't return to play DAoC at the moment but it still remains 1 of my favourite games and probably this will stay so for some time...Until WoW comes out
