DAoC - The best MMORPG in the business.

Dark Age of Camelot is a great game that allows its residents to play any role they desire: merchant / manufacturer, soldier / mercenary, or explorer. With numerous races and more being added all the time in expansion packs, the possibilities are mind boggling. E/A has even gone to the point of masking different servers serve different roles. Don't like the PvP killing? There is a PvE only server (where my Iconnu Necromancer hangs out). Would rather PvP everything that moves? There are servers for that. Want safe zones where you can't be killed by other players, most of the servers do that by only allowing players to kill players from another realm, so if you avoid the borderlands you avoid other players who would hack you up until you are ready.

And if you tire of hacking and slashing on the environment or other players, you can always set up shop and take up a trade or two. You can buy housing to show off your wealth and display your trophies and, if you join up with a guild, the guild house is always there to enjoy.
I used to play Everquest, but now all I ever play is DAoC. I love this game...
