| Yeah it's rated M so it should be a bit more intense than WoW and it's clones...complete with drunken bar fighting. I've been following for some time now and I'm pretty excited. The Fileplanet beta is limited to 50,000 keys and only open to subscribers. It begins on May 1st and the regular release is scheduled for May 20th. |

| Well I bought it. Its definately interesting to say the least. For some reason the trials keys have been disabled for a while. Anyone else pick this up ? I created 2 characters on Tyranny PVP server named Strat and Stratsy. Let me know if anyone else picks it up too. |

Yeah, I will try it out...but not sure if I will pick it up. With the extra 2 work hours a day playing a mmo just doesn't fit in at this time. ------------- |

Review and my opinion so far:
As far as fighting system goes I made the comparison as follows:
WoW is to Softball
As
AoC is to Major League BaseBall
WoW is to Touch Football
As
AoC is to NFL
WoW is to Roller Hockey
As
AoC is to NHL
Not Saying that AoC is better its just seems to take more quickness and reaction to play AoC while WoW is more click and wait. I can see everyone being able to play WoW (why it attracks females for its easy playing) while AoC is a bit more complicated. AoC is more combo moves and directional attacks for example enemy will be defending 1 or more directions so I have to know what is the weak side and then I want to attack that weak side(left, center, or right). Skill moves often required combos such as if I want to do a Enforce Strike I need to hit the Enforce Strike attack and then a second attack (left, center, or right) after to pull the move off. There is finishing moves that if you do a combo it will go off at certain times when fighting...ya'll know because blood will ooze down your screen. There is mount fighting also have not got there yet.
Its more mature in the fact that there is blood...lots of blood, mature language as you call quest npc "Bastards" and "Whores", every NPC you pick a quest up talks to you with voice so there is no reading, except when answering, there is loading between areas and cities, Guilds and Guild bases that you have to defend...and yes nudity. There is no seperation between race so every race can group with each other...talk...kill each other.

Don't get me wrong its still turn based, It just has more game play to attacking...more depth to say I guess. ------------- |

Tyranny is the sever and yes it is pvp server and pvp starts at like level 10-15. ------------- |

make sure your Ethernet cable isn't plugged into the wall while installing windows and it can't check to see how many times it's been used. if it's a legit copy and the above doesn't work you can call their support and remove the restriction. |

lol yesterday I was the playing the bait and these level 15+ were trying to gank my level 6 and Strat was crushing them on his assasin.
FYI there is also an Apprenticeship Meaning if Strat is 22 and I am 6 and I am grouped with Strat and I become Strats apprentice I go up to level 22. I get the power, defence, and the hit points of level 22 just not the talents and abilities....just like in CoH. ------------- |

I have Dark Templar in the 20s a Demonoligist ins the 20s.
Strat said his assasin seem like it was getting week around 30.
not so good pvp classes are Dark Templar(1-40), Demonologist, Rangers At Higher levels 70-80.
The two class everyone says are over powered is Tempest of Set, because your a melee, AOE, healing machine and Gaurdians which is a dps melee but built like a tank....really hard to kill.
Good classes are Barbarians, Conquor, Necros, Assasins, Bear Druid
Not Sure about Priest none one really talks about them but I read they can do more damage then a Demo with the right feats and Bear Druid no one really talks about them either being bad or really good but alot say they are fun to play.
Edited updated the above ------------- |

I think I am going to roll a Tempest of Set see how I like it...I was getting fustrated with my Demo because she was getting put down in like 3-4 shots from a ranger.
I edited the previous list. ------------- |
