Well I've discovered that these little things actually make DAoC a nice game. There is a fairly ok balance between the 3 realms, one realm has maybe better melee options, other has better cc, the other has better magic things, and probably other has classes which are more fun to play or are more suited for PVE...So every realm has something, and yes it can be a bit better to other realms counter-classes but that makes the game fun. People have the choice to play what realm they want, thus makes actually whining about other realms classes pretty pointless. Me for example, think some particular mid classes are not well-balanced but I won't play mid simply cause albion has something that I love more than the other 2 realms. Its your choice. But please dont turn this thread into a class whine, DAoC is still fun with all the little negative things and in my opinion the negative things really don't affect the huge positive side of the game...
And DAoC crowd control is 1 of the best from all the games I've played, I'm not talking about 1 realms cc better than others but the CC system in DAoC is working really well in my opinion
. At least, better than the CC in all other games I've played.
I was thinking the same as you Cho, when I first left the game some months ago...I had left cause the game wasn't as fun as it used to be and the balance in the game was really poor...But I returned after playing some other MMORPG's to discover they are nearly nothing in terms of gameplay and fun compared to DAoC. At this time I'm not playing simply becaue it got too addictive, and my real life does mean a lot more than a game.
