Welcome @Faraoed! Hope you have a great ride on the hype train!
Feel free to ask us if you have any other questions about the game!
( but rather the opposite
Because ... " sooome " Forum Members have fantastic ideas hoping that Devs take notice
have fun.
Although, World of Warcraft has focused on the accessibility of the genre and in doing so lost the immersion factor of what it takes to have the RPG factor.
I think many other releases such as Archeage, Rift, Tera, Aion, and many others have all been much better than World of Warcraft in many respects, but have scared off many crowds for decisions made from development, marketing, or just lack of thought behind endgame.
Steven has all the ideas and experience through playing MMOs to have come up with a really wonderful overarching game mechanic. I'll be watching (and testing), to really see if concerns of endgame and accessibility are being properly addressed.
To truly feel that you step foot into an open book and explore a massive world is always the best days of any MMO, the question is always how entertaining that world can be after you've explored every nook and cranny of the world. I know that in this world the idea is that it can change, but players aren't going to sit around waiting for that to happen, they need to be invested in the community way before that sets in.
World of Warcraft may be a very simple MMORPG, but the shear ease and accessibility of the game has made it a genre leader for decades. It's the ease for a community to play together in relatively simple content, that has kept it in that position. For many it's not the game-play that keeps players returning, it's the people they play alongside.
AoC's attention to community driving mechanics is the cornerstone of what COULD make this game beautiful in every way (and I really hope so). The community itself being the true lure for others to come flocking to it's banner. Given the right tools, enough content, and a real will to work together - it is indeed us, the player base that will really drive what AoC will be. It doesn't need to be an "anything" killer, it just needs a community that welcomes more and more to join in something creative, immersive, and engaging.
