Does anyone like this game? Should I get it?

It got rave reviews, but I feel a bit deterred by the paucity of posts on the DAoC board?

I have played both UO an EQ for over a yr each. This game has all the good from each of those mixed in. It is very solid hardly bugs that effect gameplay. It has continualy been patched to fix bugs very quickly as they come up. Its great fun buy it play it for free for 30 days, send me a tell Ill run around with you. Hey you can even go to my new guild site for info: http://pub41.ezboard.com/bwikkedtribe

I Found that the game is very well done. I have played UO, but this is much better. The graphics are very nice, but it is the gameplay that I have found to be much better. The game is well balanced. I would recomend this game.

I'm planning on getting the game for Christmas. Can someone please inform me as to how much a month it costs to play online. I've heard of other companies charging $5, which sounds reasonable. Thanks!

I'm seriously considering buying this game. First, I'll need to upgrade my computer from 64 to 128MB RAM.
Second, I've never played a MORPG before. This sounds like fun though.
I'm a bit surprised that very few people post on this forum. On the BG forums you'll post a topic and a few hours later, max, someone will have responded.
I really like that!

I have never played this game but I did recently upgrade my pc from 128 to 384 mb.

I would recommend buying more, 128 mb isn't mutch anymore. At least buy 128 so you will get a total of 192 mb.
And if you buy 265 mb you can always plug it into your new comp when/if you buy one.

Just my thoughts...

Rob-hin, you're right about the RAM-thing... =sigh= We Dutch are such a smart bunch!

What would be a fun class to begin with? I'm thinking one of the thief-like classes such as the infiltrator. Or maybe a fighterclass? Any thoughts on this, anyone?

As I said, I know next to nothing about the game, but I'll try helping you anyway!

What I did when I created my character in BG, I looked at what kind of person I am in real life and based my character on that.

Perhaps an idea for you?

Ps. Yes, we are a smart bunch!

Having only played the european Beta version as of yet - I'm seriously thinking of getting the full game when released in denmark.

Although the game is somewhat uniform I feel that it is a good game (plus it will give me something to do while waiting for NwN

)

There is although a little to much Diablo 2 over it, whit this I mean that a lot of the game revolves around hacking down monsters - but if you are dedicated you should/could roleplay your character - and this opens up a lot of perspective (especially if you can group up with others that feel the same way).
But I've also seen that many people are helpsome in this game - maybe it is because PvP(player vs. player) has been limited to RvR (realm vs. realm) combat, I have often asked and recived the help of strangers when lost in the woods or trying to complete a quest.
