Mythic should have a couple servers without TOA

Before TOA I would give this game a 4.5 star rating, after TOA released I will give it 0.5 stars. It would be nice if Mythic added a couple non TOA servers. I have five level 50 characters that I will not play much longer after my account expires. Since TOA released, the winner in RVR is not the best fighters, the winner is who has the most TOA artifacts. IMO took all the fun away from RvR. I would not suggest buying this game.

So so.

I just want to say b4 I get started that I tried this game after enjoying World of Warcraft for a week or so. What does this mean? It means its like trying a biscuit after eating a pizza and giving a comparison...there is none.

The only reason I even downloaded this game was because I was waiting to get World of Warcraft after its open beta ended and needed something to hold me over. I read up on other mmorpgs out there and saw that this one was very close to WoW. It was...but it was much more boring.

To start, the camera movements were horrible, I couldn't even look behind me without stopping and turning around...this is rediculous when being chased by an enemy and not knowing when its safe to stop running. Moving from side to side(strafing) is slow as hell, to the point you dont even use it most of the time. Leveling is probably the worst thing about this game. You find yourself spending up to 3 or 4 hours a session beating on all sorts of wierd things trying to gain experience points. Masssssivvvveeee unbalanced issues with the character. For example: the fighter(warrior type) is stinged out so bad. He has no chance whatsoever against a caster. I started as a fighter and got to level 9 in about 2 days. When I made a caster I did it in a few hours.

To give the game some credit, it does have a helllll of a lot of stuff to do, you probably wont even do a quarter of the things you can do in this game b4 you are sick of it, but its still there. I was able to play World of Warcraft for 10 days straight. Every waking hour was spent playing or thinking about it. And when the beta was over it left me feeling like I just stopped doing a drug. I felt soooo bored with everything, and still do, which is why im here right now writing this review. The game is PURE masterpiece...its crack. You will be hooked for life, especially if you liked warcraft.

Oh enough of this...buy World of Warcraft, its 20x better...problem is wait a month or two because theres so many people playing it right now that its causing server problems...major ones.

About european and USA servers

Game is GREAT. U already know that. Excellent graphics, addicting gameplay, dozens of different races and classes, simply the best MMORG available today.

Well, regarding the servers: Theres 2 groups of servers : USA and Europe. The game is oriented to play in 1 of these groups. If u buy the game from amazon.com, ull be able to play only in 1 of the USA servers. No access to european ones.

Case u like to play at european servers (wich is my case), i suggest u to buy the game from amazon.co.uk. Just remember, in this case, ull not be able to play USA servers.

Or, simply buy both, install then and pay the fee twice, and have all servers in the world available to u :). It worth it.
