      Which makes it basically an FPS.

      Which means it will suck, like Oblivion.

      The writings on the wall say so.
      Oblivion sucked because of the monster leveling. Take that out and the game isn't nearly as bad...

        Wait, so does AoC have FPS-style combats where you manually dodge attacks and stuff?

          Among other things. Anyway, didn't someone fixed that in a MOD? Result: Oblivion sucks less, but still sucks, AFAIK.

            Victor, kind of.

            From what I understand there will be indicators showing you were your enemy is defending, and you also have the ability to defend in the same way (left, right or above) or move out of the way.

              This does look interesting - but I can't see myself playing an MMO again.

                  It's nice that they've gone for humans only, no orcs, elves or other bargain bucket fantasy tropes.

                    I don't think Howard wrote many of those tropes.

                        After watching this video, I think AoC may be the greatest game of all time...

                          There's a thread in Other Games where we're making fun of this.

                            The video, or the game?

                              That's a great video, Aeson.

                              It does make me worry about the game, if that is someone griefing. No MMOG (with the possible exception of EVE Online, which is mostly lawless) seems to have been able to solve the social problems inherent to the genre. WoW's completely awful PvP is an example.

                              Game companies really need to hire economists and sociologists before they sit down and start coding evil looking finishing moves. The game that will kill WoW is the game that takes account of these.
