Why is he chopping at WoW instead of just presenting AoC? I don't like that, it's a sign of unprofessionalism and professionalism is one of the reasons WoW is doing so well. I don't like it because of the "plastic" armor sets or silly fairylands, I like it because it is a very balanced, optimized and tuned game. And that takes hours and hours of work and dedication. If I'll see that in AoC then I'll know it really is a game worth playing, just relying on new features such as action combat isn't good enough for me.

Comparisons are on all sorts of forums even here. So when he uses WoW as a comparison on some parts he does it because for alot of MMO players WoW was their first game online. They know no other type of play. If you type in AoC Vs WoW in google you get loads of replies. He also compares DAoC too. It is because so many people play WoW your going to get obvious comparisons. AoC wont have to rely on one feature it has a crop of them done in new ways for the genre.
I cant wait to get my hands on this game. I am currently working on upgrading my computer AND laptop (yes i am gonna play at school during lunch time to leave me alone, Calculous II can mess anyone up).
I hope the game truly delivers, cuz if it does itl be a great thing for MMOs in general.
