Sneek, nobody really wants an adult game, just an adolescent one with 18+ rating. :wink: But thats one low-res nipple texture...and the belly button is too low.

Animations in wow are very cartoony and exagerated, and are the one of the best i've seen tbh, they are 100% hand animated, without motion capturing, to achieve this cartoony, fluid and exagerrated look. But combat animations are lacking in any race xcept nelfs and belf males. And even i fthey werent, theres 3 attack animations for the different weapon types (one handed long, daggers, 2 handed, polearms/staffs) 2 regular attacks and one (!) for "yellow" attacks, which gets boring pretty fast tbh.

On the other hand, AoC has realistic motion captured animations, without that much character, but convincing nevertheless (at least they look convincing to me). Also Aoc has combos. And also blood. And mutilations. And tits. And if other aspects of the game do not fail big time it will be something really nice.

I really dont think that making one start zone for all is a good idea tho. Even though all my chars are leveled in durotar, i know a lot of ppl who cant stand to lvl an alt through a zone they've already done.

P.S.
I dont see anyone mentioning that wow launched without battlegrounds...and after that for a long time you had to sign at the battleground gate and wait for long long hours. Wonder why ppl forget stuff like that...

Pro's:

* The melee fight system. I never played much melee but the system feels like you are more involved then in previous MMORP's. Combo's sometimes need you to press up to 5 buttons to execute them.

* Casters get spellweaving wich is supposed to do sick damage but the higher the damage the higher the risk of killing yourself. This will only be available in retail.

* My necro has pet points. I can either summon 4 melee pets or 2 casters atm. Pets can lifesteal/decrease stamina etc etc. But like the Lock in the start of WoW they are the weakest class atm. They are getting better every patch. There is a fine line between balancing a petclass and making him overpowered

* Every class gets a hiding skill. In theory you can hide as well as an assasin but you need to put points in skills like mana attractor and one so that you won't get interupted ( a lot) while casting.

* Looks great.

Cons

* A lot of loading screens. When the system works ok they only last a few sec so it's isn't too annoying.

* Engine is unstable atm. Weird thing is that some people can play for days without a crash and others crash every 5 minutes. Funcom is putting out builds like crazy trying to get this fixed.

* High level content, not sure if it is there yet.

* Pet attack can't be bound to a key or hotbarslot. I have no doubt this will change since everyone screams for it :)

* UI is very basic, I am spoiled by WoW in that regard.

----

What holds my interest is the things that are to come like siege warfare, frontiers with ffa PvP, mounted combat, guild owned cities/keeps etc. I think this can be an incredible game but we need to give it time. I will at least give it that time at least until WAR 8)

Lot's of previews are popping up:
