| I pick up AO from time to time when I'm getting bored with other games. Unfortunately, I stupidly upgraded my account with the higher level characters on it so I've had to start from scratch this time. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, the controls are killing me. Everything feels kinda slow compared to the combat in WoW and then somethings are downright lagged (mob dies, it sits there then all of the sudden you get your XP and are able to loot).
I highly doubt I'll play it more than once or twice before it gets relegated to the MMO graveyard section of my HD but I still think it is a good game. It is just one of those "it isn't you, it is me" scenarios. I'll forever be a fan of "y u loot me?" type comments and I still think leets are the best NPCs ever but AO really shows its age, much more than EQ even. |
