AoC has some interesting content and the M rating is sure to peak the interest of some gamers. From the onset, this game is still riddled with bugs. Funcom did not learn from the Eve launch it appears. To this day, toons still fall into rivers and have no recourse but to log out and back in. The best thing going is the visual and the combat system. Even this will eventually bore you to tears as you are swinging for endless eons only to lock up and end up dead. Constant quests to long travel areas only to turn in the quest and have to return gets redundant. Why not be able to get multiple quests instead of constant chains.
The visuals are pretty to see. The M rated material is nothing to get excited about. Overall game play, when you can get a good hour going, is decent at best.
The day (multiplayer) and night (single) player options are a neat idea as well. But better integration on when and why you need to switch could be better thought out. Overall, a decent game that will hopefully only get better, but my money is going elsewhere until then.
