The game is geting better. seriously. Ever since the merger, the game has improved.

What an average day in AoC is PvP battles in Elite kesh or raids and all sorts of smaller battles fought in the other lands as everyone has a a gillion alts. So people like to choose to level to a certain point and then go find people higher than that or at that level and PvP them. They don't level up that character, cause we all have 80s, its just to have a change in scenery , powers, attributes etc.

its just constant PvP everywhere. the crafting system I like and you now get special crafting drops from PvP.

the only problem with the game currently is Erling Erlingson still works for the company despite the calls for his firing ... I dont understand why they just wont do the right thing and fire his ass. Every time I see him, I want to vomit and quit AoC.

But it is a good game now at its core.
