God Im glad I got DAoC as an alternative.. I am having tons of fun and
havent been online in EQ for weeks and have not ordered SOL (So Out of
LUCK?), but if DA get boring I proberly will be back.
Sofar DAoC have been perfect for my limited playtime.. It runs flawlessly on
my Athlon 600MHz with 256MB ram, SBlive and a 256Kbit ADSL connection.
Only way DAoC lacks in comparision to EQ is:
- Graphics they are a bit more dull than EQ IMO... Better in some ways, but
boring landscape and mobs..
Well they still update mob models. So there is hope :)
- Difficualty level. I fear that DA is too easy for my liking, but I guess
that only time will tell.
