    Good, solid MMO. I felt it was a bit of a mixture of UO and Everquest when it came out, and it was quite enjoyable. I never was drawn into it as deeply as I was with UO and Everquest, but I did play it for a year or two and leveled 2 or 3 characters to 50. World of Warcraft is very similar to Daoc, you could say it's a slightly improved version of that game in many ways.

  1. Although Dark Age doesn't innovate much, it's the best and most viable MMORPG out there right now.

    There are so many things to like about DAoC that it's hard not to find the game charming. [Jan 2002, p.93]
  3. One of the best MMORPGs on the market. It has depth of play, dynamic interplayer action, solid graphics and terrific sound.
