Never played asherons, but welcome to the hype train

-Questing isn't just to reach max level
-Adaptive enemy AI
-Nodes for fostering community and player 'ownership'
-Nodes for changing surroundings/mob spawns/
-More traditional roles (going to roll Healer)
-Crafting and trade aren't 'Eh, why not put that in?'
-PvP beyond ganking noobs. Caravan stuff looks cool, as well as sieges,

Been following the game for 3 years or so now and continue to get excited!

I enjoy the idea of bringing back consequence into an MMO, and not be hand guided to everything you have to do like a mindless drone. Endless deaths in Asherons Call was a thing of beauty, and although I hope to never again see 40% VP, I can't wait to get my hands on Ashes of Creation.

So true!! Dying in an acid pit and having to get some rando to help was never racking but it made the game so much fun trying not to die and running threw hoards of othoi.

Bahl on Thistledown for me

And yeah, it was my first and also my most magical MMO experience. Just the whole concept, trying to survive those Phyntos Wasps the first couple of days...
WoW did actually almost capture the same magic again for me at first. It was so damn polished compared to many of the other games back in 2004. Warhammer Online came close because of the lore, but the RvR kinda sucked compared to DAoC.

To answer the question, I am definitely very hyped and excited about AOC, but I honestly doubt anything can match the magic of AC, because it was my first. It's a bit like the first real love, or, as far as I've read, the first time on heroin. It's not quite the same high the subsequent times
