ok so i saw some review websites
The grpahics looked a bit dark and maybe its a bit old but :-

How many players on one server at a time?
How easy is it to meet other players?
Is it just a fedex quest operation or is there a genuine storyline and is it random?
Is combat like d2.. or nwn?
How do you counter spells?

What do i think of daoc? I am just not sure it will offer anything more than just nwn. In fact even Guildwars and L2 do not seem to offer more than just the extra spectacular graphics...

Do i need AdnD online maybe? or nwn2? im not sure.. WoW sounded really interesting because it was crafted to be very immersive. But the big plus of nwn is that there is more than one type of world to visit. Even each world in the social category is different.

about 2,500 people on my server. Theres about 12 different servers, and Lancelot the one is play is the 2nd most populated. Theres 3 Realms in a server and each realm is at war. The graphics are not dark and they will be updated in the new expansion pack due out right before christmas. Very easy to meet new people lots of noob guilds out there and people are very generous. You ask for hand me downs and you won't have enough room to hold everything people wuill hand you. There is a story line if you play the role playing servers. I play the pvp where iti s realm v realm go out to a batle ground and you fight over a castle and a couple towers. You don't realy counter spells. The main spells in the game are called bolts. One class from each realm can cast them. If you use a shield you can counter them by blocking them (they are like a fire ball) or if you are in combat they have no effect. The other main spell is Area of Affect. Couple mage class can use these. Only way to real counter theses is to max your resist. They hurt hit very hard ^^. The combat is similar to nwn where as you dont have to keep clicking to swing, but there is some different things which makes it very nice. lets say I block with my shield. if I am a fighting class I will have a style for blocking. I block I hit the style buttong for blocking which does more dmg and some of the styles have effects if you hit them at the right time. I play thisg ame on a 40kbs connections and if you have dsl or cabel you will own. If i can play on dial up and still go to the batle grounds with over 200 people fighting then no one should have problems. Very good game you can get the gold edition for 20 dollars and have a 30 day free trial. If you dont like it then it is easy to resell your cd keys on ebay. or just download it from file planet I will let you use my account to see how you lik it.

thanks hypster spounds like a really cool game esp the blocking effects and 200 in a battle!

so sometimes there are really 200 people battling it out in one small battlefield? - not all on the screen at once but.. spread across the screen and a bit outside?

what happens when u die?

isn't daoc free to play online? (i must be mistaken?)

Well one you get about lvl 50 some times theres 600 people out in the main rvr area. The batle grounds are huge. if you dont ride a bout or have a personw ith spd in your group it would take about 3 hours to run to the batles. It isn't free is 10.95 a month and the first 30 days are free, but in all honesty it is worth it. The lower level batle grounds are smaller so even if there are only 20 people dukeing it out theres lots of action. When you die you are released back to ur rea;ms portal keep. nobody can loot ur corpse so no worries there. I will get u a main link that goes into more detail about the game. Like i said if u wanna try it you are welcome to play my account. i have level 50 (highest lvl you can get) and a few other lvl 40's and what not on my main server. i am guild master of the 2nd biggest guild in my realm so if u do wanna try it you will for surely get the help u need.
