    Well fortunately for WAR its not a 1-20 Tortage wonder. They took plenty of time to flesh the game out, RvR really is the end-game complete with rewards and endless progression.
     

    I really hope you are in beta thats all i can say :)
    
    AoC had way longer beta testing (from April 07 till May 08 - with both general where started from level 1 and got no limitation  and tehnical / focus test ) and it was 2nd coming for a lot of beta players .. we all can see how it turned out.

    All Iam saying is do not take everything you hear for granted, being in WAR beta i can say game looks great but as all new games there are some issues so just wait for release before you start claiming ....

    
     I wish I was in beta to be honest. I am drawing my claims as you put it from playing DAOC. Mythic can turn things around quite rapidly when they need to - especially when new content is concerned.

    1) Log on

    2) Ask yourself "What do I feel like trying to do?  I can't craft level 80 items because my guild's city isn't high enough.  I don't feel like farming for hours and hours ( I want some action, I want to improve my gear and/or get some high level quests done)  Maybe I'll try to get an epic kheshatta group"

    3)  Start spamming "80**** LFG >>> epic Kheshatta (add any other high level quest area as well) pst"

    *note* this is where it usually ends and you log off, in the amazing chance you get a group....

    4) Group forms up and heads to epic Kheshatta

    5) camp is taken, move on to the next one

    6) do step "5" any where from 1-5 times and then give up

     

    Well my experience is a bit different.
    1. Log ON
    
    2. I load  in Kashetta and while Iam still thinking what will I do some starting to beat me up while my "protection" is still on.  I hover over the protection buff and see 9 seconds to go, I buff my self and start gaining some distance and as soon as the buff is off I beat the crap out of him.
    
    3. Now checking my guild window to see there are 34 members online, I ask in guild chat whats up and members are responding we are in Epic Kashetta now grinding and protection our spawn as we get attacked by other groups every now and then.

    4. I joined them and do some grind there for like 20 minutes ( got lucky with 1 epic too ) then one of the members suggest lets go to normal Kashetta and grind that camp for gems so we do it.
    Once we port there few more members wanna join and asking in what instance are we .. checking the instance window I see 5 instances we told them come to Balder and lets make 3 groups.
    
    5. Around 1.5h pass since I log in its 17:30 GMT and people are getting raid for our Black Citadel Raid.
    The raid is over within 2h and around 10 members were put out of rotation so I ask them what are you guys up to, the raid is over ... they responded we are fighting with few russian guilds at city in kashetta, all of our raid moves there and what we see is almost 2 full raids of russian guild against several other guilds and us. After around 45 minutes of fighting there is like 28 members online we still have 1 raid group goin on but russians are logging off.
    
    Well thats above average day in AoC.
    
    Average day:
    1. Raid either BRC or vistrix
    2. Some group farming in epic or normal kashetta
    3. 2 days per week we dont raid but are doing boosting groups .. 1 boosting group of lvl 60 and 70 and another 12 man raid for protection.
    4. At least 3 to 5 mini games to boost up our guild points.  ( 3 to 5 for me )
    5. Some open world PvP group vs group or raid vs raid.

    But as some mention AoC is quite boring because there is not much you can do the only thing beside raiding is the content you create for your self.
    
    We wanna do sieging but its borked, we wanna get pvp XP points but they are not implemented, we wanna have PvP weapons/armors but there are ingame yet etc...

    If you are in casual guild or solo there is really nothing to do to be worth while once you reach level 80 until they provide some decent end game content ( raiding is far from enough ) players will leave the game.
     

    AoC is worth all the money if you dont mind qutting the game once you reach max level, you have great combat system, quests are good and funny, you have great graphics etc .. ( keep in mind the game will crash from time to time, there are few annoying bugs and if you cant stand that do not buy it ).

    p.s. I feel sorry for WAR couse the same ex AoC fans that were bashing WAR few months ago and now are speaking like WAR is 2nd comming ... wait 2 months after WAR is released and just keep track what will they do.

    Well fortunately for WAR its not a 1-20 Tortage wonder. They took plenty of time to flesh the game out, RvR really is the end-game complete with rewards and endless progression.

    Mythic aint Funcom.  Mythic last MMO (DAOC) was a huge success.   I already pre-order the game, will be in open beta, i'll then have a month to decide if the game is worth buying, but so far it look good.

     

    Same thing I am thinking - DAOC has been running 7 years now, granted not many people playing but it actually lived a full software lifecycle which is amazing for an MMO game. And I just might be crazy to log into my 12 lvl 50's to see whats up
