For people looking for a more Solo/Casual experience

For anyone with concern about AoC not being friendly to a laid back/casual/solo experience I give you this link to this story. We have all read/heard the stories of large scale battles in Eve where massive amounts of the game is destroyed/lost. But this story is about one individual that is too stubborn to team up with people.
Long story short - A person plays for 16 years and has everything he worked for taken away in one fell swoop.

There will eventually be similar stories written about Ashes, guaranteed.

    I can't figure out what the post is supposed to be conveying other than 'save your time, go play something else'...

    But unfortunately, for most people who want the sense of progression and camraderie that would be provided by a modern, balanced game that retains depth and also is more of a Fantasy game, there isn't much right now.

    If you aren't enjoying FF14, Classic WoW, Retail WoW, or Throne and Liberty, then whatever this game is in the end, is your main 'last hope' for the genre and all that.

    Save us, Jake Song! (I really should stop saying this one since I'm satisfied for now)

    Agreed, but out of curiosity, what do you think is the moral of this story?

    I have a bunch of other games that have appeared in the past 18 months that greatly surpass my interest in Ashes.
    Ashes was my last hope in 2017 - especially when I thought that Ashes woul release before 2020.
    I thought WoW would not be able to resolve the issues I had with their max Level content from 2012 through 2021, but... they found a way.
    Obsession with Risk v Reward is the antithesis of my hopes for any video game. (I was intrigued by Meaningful Conflict, which initially seemed to be interchangeable with Risk v Reward... until after Jeffrey Bard left Intrepid.)
