Im playing AOC and i will till WH is out. but in shot terms Aoc is like this:
1.EQ II/Vanguard grafic look alike - wery nice in did, if u can run the game, and i can.
2.Beside that AOC has a new fhigting system, build on a line of combos, done by the arrows. - This system are hard to leve up to when the combos are getting long, if u are not grupping. But AOC are not that grp friendly, its mainly all about ones destany quest and thats it.
2.Casters are as in any other games, more or less, but AOC has made the skills alot more interessing, alike Diablo.
3. The normal xping, are a waist of time, the drops are "ok" but the xp are pure.
4. Harvestings skills are more or less as a quest line.
5. Crafting i havend gone into, but im told its as simple, and boring as anything els in the game.
6. All quest / and anything els related to the class more or less lose its power after lvl 20, and get dealy boring.
7. And AOC is as WOW is: A adventure / eqpment game, more or less no skilld, and allways guild lines from A - Z. And AOC allso have Wannerbe " PVP system, in area types.
... Well is guess thats more or less about it, i think alot other will say something like thits, wining or tell something i did not.
... But over all AOC is nice, just ashame its not free.

2. There's a 10 to 20 level gap between Destiny Quests after 20. From 1 - 20, its impossible to level entirely off Destiny Quests. In fact, you're able to level from 1 - 20 without doing Destiny Quests, and the level 19 one is necessitated only to leave Tortage.
Just saying, implying Destiny Quests replace grouping, or even total in a similar amount of grouping quests there are in the game, or have as many dungeons specific to them in comparison to grouping quests in the game, is pretty crazy.
#2 2.
3. No idea what "the xp are pure", or what "normal xping" entails. But I assume you mean is that just grinding out mobs is a waste of time. What does that mean? More boring than questing? Slower levelling than questing? Both are subject to opinion and personal play style.
My personal opinion is that I doubt they tried to make an exciting "normal xping" game, and probably instead focused on quest-driven levelling like every other current MMO.
6. Sure would like to know what you meant by that.
In general, there were no "simple facts" in that at all with the exception of the mentioning of harvesting being quest driven. Even that is vague, and better described as the accessing of new types of resources to harvest being quest driven.
Praise or hate, the word "fact" sure is getting thrown around a lot lately. The best kind of opinions are opinions supported by a person's own specific, cited experiences. You should've included yours for some "simple AOC opinions".
Would you be so kind and read your own post again?
Much of it makes no sense and obviously you seem to make some "guessing" on how the game is after lvl 20 and pretty much couldn't be more wrong.
After the 1-20 chain, you first get another destiny quest at 30, and then again at 50.
Require no skill? AoC's combat in the REAL dungeons sure does require more than what you would expect from eg. WoW. Atl least on my Conq. i'm having a lot to do all the time and require more focus than even bosses like Azzinoth tanking in the Illidan phase 2 fight. But that phase is all about routine, when it comes to "skill", it obviously seem to be all about "eye of the beholder".
from 1-20 it's actually pretty simple, well not really when comparing it to other mmorpgs at those lvls, AoC's combat is one of the best i've seen so far.
Anyway.... Untill you make your post more readable, i guess i'll take the comfort and just poitnting out that you are off the hook by more than a mile, at least in my opinion, some might obviously disagree.
To each their own liking, or whatever they say, right?
Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.
In terms of skill to play, you couldn't be more wrong. I've been watching a friend of mine play and toying with it myself, and when it comes down to it, getting the drop and playing right will win you damn near anything. I've been watching my friend, a 25, PvP-kill anywhere from 28 to 34 without too much trouble simply because he uses the game's mechanics to their utmost possible capacity. If you just stand and plonk arrows at folks, yeah, you don't know how the skills work or why the game is built in an interesting way. Find someone who -has- skills, however, and they'll overpower you with ease.
It is -not- free game material by a long shot, and despite numerous complaints, I've seen some apparently-unbalanced classes go down to folks who aren't playing as jacked a class even when the levels are in their favor. It's interesting to watch folks who are actually good at the game rock out on people who are dabbling, but on PvE servers I imagine the game isn't so interesting. I still wish they'd give real experience for PvP, though; it's easily more difficult than PvE combat, and more fun to boot.
I had a really hard time reading this post. Please guys, try to form full sentences and words, and get the grammar right. Nobody is going to take you seriously if you can't spell. Use google as a spell checker if the built in WYSIWYG spell checker is not working. I'm probably flogging a dead horse here, but for Christ's sake, this is too much.
Edit: Nothing has to be perfect, but at least legible.
/agree.
I'm not going to comment on the OP's actual response because, in all honesty, it's too annoying to try to take someone seriously when they make more than 20 mistakes in their first paragraph. Read about half of it until my head stated, "GAH111!!11!!!! NO MOAR!!!1!"
Annoys me when people try to explain something or give an opinion but don't give the consideration to properly write it.
Either they OP is just poor with grammar or they were super tired or they had one to many bowls of shamanistic herbs and he/she is still feeling its effects as they typed this up - or english is their second language and I highly doubt that since they know texting slang and acronyms.
Whatever the resaon...I think the OP is a little
if you know what I mean.
-> 42 necromancer/ Crom
-> 31 Dark Templar/ Crom
... So i have been there and yes , sorry then its my "way of seen the game" - my facts.
About the the xp, yes nomal xp, not related to quests, are a waist of time, so that allso mean full up ones quest book, do em and back again, and all over again, and again.

I wonder if the OP's native language is English? Even his reply (post #8) is whacked.
Step away from the computer and take a grammar/English refresher course. You maybe level 30 something in a game, but your writing skills are that of a First grader, (sorry to insult first graders!)
