As fast as
you can get, and if you have a Voodoo, go buy something
else. Like a GeForce. Trust us. We tried running this
on a Celeron 450 with a Voodoo3 and it was a complete
slide show.

| The
Good |
"Pay
Ahead" discounts, Graphics, frequent patches, inventory/spell
system is easy to follow and use. Huge detailed worlds,
many, many monsters, realm vs. realm system, player
trader career system, multiple classes/career choices..
*gasp* So many things done right....
|
| The
Bad |
$20.00/month
CDN, server downtimes can be annoying occasionally (but
are admitedly few,short and far between.) Console commands
piss me off a little bit. Hitting Windows key crashes
the game, which get annoying. |

Wow.
This is one hell of a good game.
As anyone
who knows me well will know, I don't really like RPGs... Other
than Diablo.. And I'm not even big on Diablo these days. So
when Dopper started ranting and raving about a new upcoming
Massively Mulitplayer game coming out called "Dark Age
Of Camelot" I wasn't really too impressed. Just another
Evercrack........ Then Dopp got his ass onto the beta team,
and started showing me some of the gameplay and screenshots
he'd collected.. and I started reading up on the game a little
more.. and Wow...... I was determined to play it. 3 weeks
ago, I drove for a few hours to pick our copies up... Installed
it.... and it was good. So very, very good. And so very, very
addictive....
