AOC is getting close to becoming a great game. It is amazing how the difference of a new game director has on things eh?

I am doing the WAR thing now, so AoC won't even get a serious look till 2009, but these are good changes. I really liked the game out of tortage, it was just the pointless PvP that irked me. Why again am I killing this guy for the 20th time if I don't get anything for it? If there were active guild fights or some sort of faction, I could see why I'd want to kill a guy, I dunno, this whole pointless PvP system ( aka no item loss or xp loss on death) still bothers me. I'd jump back in a second if they added in some sort of loss on death. Man, even a TIMER or temp stat loss would be fine, but something that makes me feel bad if i lose or good if i win when you PvP.
