bah to hell with all of that, play shards of dalaya. you can expect:
1.) no instances. you get the thrill of competing for loot and dungeoning with more than just yourself/your own group. if you want instances and alone time, elder scrolls series provides much better alone gameplay than any mmo.
2.) the graphics suck. this is classic everquest we are talking about. i guess you can always boost up the settings, use the new models, and download the HQ textures and add them to your client. still not going to rock any socks here. but really does that shit even matter that much?
3.) quests do exist, but you don't constantly do them to level. why do you need to prove you can collect wolf fur and bettle dung every level? kill shit. level up and do meaningful quests here and there to supplement your killing.
4.) itemization is wonderful. gear that levels with you, tons of mods, focus effects, stats, click effects.
5.) see 1.
6.) free.
7.) you will never see an anal game in chat, because it would probably result in a public banning. see part of the great banfest.
