Seems like the rest of the content they've released since launch. Just instances added that are a copy and past of existing objects and terrain in different orders. With quests that evolve around the same common themes. Go destroy objects. Go kill X amount of certain mobs, Go rescue and Go collect.

IAmMMO that is exaclty what all MMO developers are doing these days, sticking to a tried and tested forumula.

I had high hope for this game and AoC but they both follow the same old route. Go collect X amount of this, kill X, Kill X amount Y.

It is very sad. That is why games like Roma Victor and Darkfall seem so appealing. They are sandbox, but we will have to see with DarkFall as it is not out yet.

I would sacrifice graphics and stuff for sandbox MMOs anyday.

Playing AoC makes me want to commit suicide after a while ...
