.I could have sworn it was a Korean MMORPG and I recall a vnboard section, but it vanished afaik ever since the vn revamped the boards.
I also don't know if the game is actually f2p after all. I just figured I was in the openBeta xD I just remember it had to do with demon stuff. You infuse your character with these fantasy-surgical stuff etc. But other than that, it was a grind fest.
Agreed. AoC is dark (and f2p).
Okay, it brings us away from the Elves and Dwarves thing, which is also interesting, but I fear the game would spend too much time trying to beat each other up as it is pvp orientated. Ofc, I could join a PVE server, but I don't know if that exists ever since the fall of AoC and later change to f2p model.
Somewhere - and I don't believe what I am about to say - I am looking for a PvE hack n slay game.
One reason also is the situation that appeared through WoW's dungeon finder system; where joining a group has nobody talking, none of that "socializing" Blizzard been forcing us into all the time and where people just focus on doing the instance or leaving as soon as somebody stops for 1sec.
Want to get way from that too.

Nonetheless - So I see I need to try Rift, DDO/LOTRO and perhaps AoC again.
But about AoC, I have very very deep wounds about it. I bought the addon too and it sucked. :/
I can still hear Gaute laughing in my dreams.
