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 ...
Whilst you wait there is a game out called Roma Victor that has most of what Darfall offers in the way of no levels and the ways skills work.
The combat is twitch based and it is historically accurate so no spells.
I would recommend this game to would be Darkfall players as it has guild owned structures, full PvP, a bit of PvE and is a really atmospheric game once you get into it.
You will need someone to help you to start with though as the learning curve is steep.
If you are looking for a game that is like Darkfall in design then look no further. Do not expect great graphics or stability. Just take it as it is and you will love it, especially if you like the Roman age. It is set in Hadrians wall with Barbarians (northmen) vs the Romans. It is the most player based game since PlanetSide.
I had been away playing Age of Conan and then after doing yet another quest I finally said enough is enough of this shite excuse of a game, ok great graphics but no real PvP, no player skill, no sandbox.
So I came back to RV and I have been loving it. It has the fear of Eve in that if you get killed you hard won stuff is going to be looted and you lose some hard earned skills. The atmosphere is great when it is dark and you are hunting or being hunted by wolves.
All we need is more players, I see lots coming back. The new graphic backdrop is lovely as well.
This game will do me until Darkfall. Perhaps longer.

Too little, too late.
Only a major redesign can save this game.
Please get some orginality to your posts and stop being so damn negative.
These are great new additions.
Try playing instead of listening to the players that have been banned and are hanging round the game like a bad smell, the Phillywilly or what ever he is called likes to spread bad stuff about this game.
In light of the recent update which changed the effects of certain AoE powers for the Tempest of Set, what is your favourite Priest archetype class in Age of Conan?
