[QUOTE="Laslo Tremaine, post: 177207, member: 330"] [b]Casual vs Hardcore Players[/b] I am a pretty casual MORPG player (4-10 hrs per week maximum) and I have been pretty happy with DAoC. I played EverQuest for nearly three years (and in that time managed to get one character up to 35th level) and found it fun, but frustrating (too much downtime and some classes cannot solo at all...). If you think you are a casual player I would strongly recommend Dark Age. You should find it to be a lot of fun (less time spent healing and resting, and all classes can solo to some extent (this is important if you just have time to get online for an hour or so, and don't want to spend that time looking for a group and then logging off once you find one). If you think you might be a hardcore player (20+ hours per week), you will probably be better off with EQ. It does have quite a bit more depth to it. I do have to agree with a number of previous posters though. MORPGs are not pen and pencil RPGs. The majority of your time in DAoC will be spent standing in once place and either fighting or healing. Roleplaying is pretty much non-existant. [/QUOTE]
