First, if you are looking for something to play and haven't tried DAOC, or it's been a long time. Come back and try it again!
They're adding new features that really make the game stand out. Free level 20 and sometimes level 30 characters to people who have 50s on their accounts. Accross all servers + realms even! Housing is coming out soon. Trials of atlantis and a PVP expansion (free) are coming out soon.
I played DAOC when it first came out, then took a year long break -- am enjoying it now.
Secondly --
Anyone know what's up with Sigil Games? No one seems to mention the possibility of that being the next greatest thing. I would think people would be interested with the amazing staff they have. While I think WoW will be great -- I am really looking forward to whatever Sigil Games puts out. Wonder if anyone has any information.
Anyway, would've started this in one of the 30 threads, but I wanted to start fresh with fresh ideas.
DAOC + Sigil games. Woot.
