Well as its todays date, I'll put in my 2 peneth.
Background:I've played DAoC for last 2 years ish. 1 week of WoW beta. SoR in some sort of open beta some months back.
SoR looks good, feels good and has very detailed crafting/combat structure, which, after about 4hrs play, I know little about. I'm sure once it clicks, it's quite straight forward and flexible.
I'm looking to pit my wits against humans, computers just aren't good enuf. Plus I don't get much time
so I'm probably leaning towads WoW.
If I had the time, I would play SoR. Community spirit is very good, tho it must be sed think of quality of people rather than numbers.
Then agen, I'm not sure I would pay to play Ryzom tho. Maybe it's my machine, but Yubos that are asleep wen I hurl an acid spell at them, come at me whilst they are still lying down! I mean, that doesn't look good, it's almost the first thing you see ... and spend some time doing.
Ryzom will be worth another visit wen WoW is played out.
Good luck and hav fun, to all naturally
nik.
