DAoC's combat is auto, aside from using skills.
movement is with arrow keys for the most part.
the community is really good, at least on the two servers i played in.
Get UO or EQ. DAoC sux.

Yes, games have been degrading lately, DAoC, then AC2, then shadowbane, what will be the next one to fall into the crevices of horridity!
Btw, your right, i should add DAoC sux, no one get its, its a cheap imitation of EQ with no content!
I must spread the truth about this game! My quest has begun! THE WORLD SHALL KNOW ABOUT DAoC AND ITS HORRIDITY!

UO combat is auto in a way but.. if you just try and stand next to a mob or person and swing and hit... you are gonna die especialy when your higher lvl UO was more..... Thinking... i guess... it just was more strat. You learned the timing of your weapon and the + and - of them *i still cry they made Daggers/butcher/cleavers doo damage compared to the other weapons* even pitchfork doo good damage now.. and that you cant dps and use them at any time that was the point of a Dagger of Vanq with DPS... the speed of DOOOM weapons >< or Vanq war hammer
that damn thing riped through armor like no other god.. and the stam - ugh sure it missed alot but it made me cry when they connected with you 
... *hears the WHOOOOMP UGHHHHHHH* *watches the body fall and then ghost dude pop up* btw... WHO ELSE MISSES being a ghost in the new games God i loved the ghost idea i want it back 
i loved dancing around as a ghost.. and etc and seeing ghosts pop up to you in the middle of the forest. Sad i know makes my day to rez ghosts =D they always were nice to you .. and the random walking healers were nice to.... Who else remembers the Pks with humor that would rez you and Then talk to you and Whoomp ughhh *grey screen* just for kicks. ... i miss UO.. old school UO but i want good graphics.. Lineage 2 is my hope but i wish the lvl grind was alittle easier till near good pvp lvls

How about you just tree the free trial of EQ Classic. Ok maybe the Grafix of the Classic version suck, but u can get a good look @the main Gameplay

DAoC is good because it is more then just a PvE game like EQ. It has seperate areas for PvE and PvP. It also has good graphics, is very user friendly, and is easy to get yourself emmersed into the world quickly.
DAoC is not perfect though. It's PvE is limited in many ways. You are only in one of three realms per character. This means that you would have to have three characters to explore all the worlds completely(unless you are on the pvp or co-op server)
Also levelling is almost considered a chore in DAoC. People are rarely willing to explore other areas. This means you end up being stuck fighting the same mobs a lot even though there are new and funner things to be doing.
Also some of the best areas to level a high level character are in the expansion or darkness falls which is not always held by your realm.
Overall DAoC is liked because of the PvP aspect of the game, good graphics, east interface, and good communities. DAoC tends to be bad in terms of PvE, only a limited number of places PvP happens, and difficulty of levelling 35+.
IMO the problems with DAoC are not that much different then any MMORPG out there now. It's benefits though are more unique. The PvP aspect of DAoC is one of the best out there, and PvP will always have an element that PvE does not.
Ya, PvP is great, but DAoC ruined it. You want a game with great PvP, go AC1.
DAoC had a combat system that required no player skill, and it was whoever wins was based on classes, and you had to be a maxed out character to participate or you'd get butt kicked.

The only real way to find out if something is good for you or not is to try it. EQ has the most content of any game. DAOC is a good game for what it is but it's the saqme old tread mill like EQ. These are my opinions though and I suggest to you to not listen to what anyone tells you and figure it out yourself. There are many a game I would not dare play anymore that others love. Opinions are like... we all know. Form your own it takes you alot farther.

Well I've played both EQ (for 3 years) and UO (2 years... then EQ... now again) and if you like a social game then I would go for EQ, the whole game is aimed towards grouping up and talking to people, one of the greatest text msg systems in a game I've found so far. And UO is more of a solo game, although you will see others I have found that in UO its either solo peeps or close RL friends. I havent tried DAoC other than 30 minutes of Beta that didnt work too hot, but it seems similar to EQ.
Out of the 3 I would recommend EQ (Sony has been working hard to make the newbs feel special *flip sony*) but right now im just chilling with UO until EQ2 or FFXI comes out
... well or anything else that strikes my fancy... like Diablo 2 1.10 patch, which is... i think... never coming out !!!!
ps (If anyone is wondering why I left EQ to go back to UO, it was because I didnt have the time to sit down and play for hours on end... although I do admit those 14-20 hour days are fun
)

it's irritating to see people call DAoC an EQ clone. It isn't in the least. You could say the same thing about every other MMORPG that had PvE and maxing out your chracter with cool loot. DAoC appears to be a graphical upgrade of Mythic's pvp based mud Darkness Falls. It has the same idea. In Darkness Falls, you pick a side, good, evil, or neutral and you fight other players over making the world light dominated or dark dominated. That's what I gathered from what I read about it. DAoC is almost the same thing. Three realms fighting to control eachother's relics. Sure they prolly learned a few things from EQ's success, but who didn't? You think EQ didn't learn from UO's success? It's ridiculous to call other games EQ clones. Cuz they aren't.
Now as a DAoC player, I can tell you that I think it's fun. I like mildly limited PvP. Not AS limited as EQ and other PvE games (only in an arena or by consent of another player?). And not completely open ended, though I do indulge on the pvp servers sometimes. The PvP in DAoC is very unique to the other MMORPGs out there. People might call the overall game boring and content lacking. But that's only because they are used to a different play style in another MMORPG. I agree EQ has more content than DAoC, but EQ's also been out for how many more years?
Here's why I like DAoC...I like Viking mythology...so I play a Mid, that's fun. I like the classes for the same reason, they are all based on it's proper mythology/legend/lore. And I like the PvP. Seige warfare + killing other players = fun for me.
I try to give information to new MMORPGers from a non-biased viewpoint. Here I'm seeing posts like "this game sucks cuz it's an EQ rip off...don't get it!" This doesn't help the new person AT ALL. Your opinion does not equal his opinion. "Eq is the best." way to back up your opinion there.
Sorry to rant...just peeved when I read some of those posts.
