The game is NOT horribly imbalanced, contrary to what singingsteel has to say. Casters do have sme advantages but the new patch is moving towards that ever elusive (and always complained about) mythical "balance"

The game has come quite a long way and I have to say they have done a great job since Craig took over. Happy birthday AoC!

The game is still horribly imbalanced ATM. It's severely biased towards casters, which I believe shouldn't be in the game at all. This ultimately led to me unsubscribing from the game. I like how Craig has time and time again referred to the game being "group" balanced, but when he references pvp in relation to gear, he is clearly talking about 1 v 1. The game, its designers, and directors continue to contradict themselves. I won't be resubbing unless there are some major class balance changes. Conan would be ashamed of this P.O.S.

Good interview, overall, and the right mindset for approaching MMO's.

As for the AO encounter,if Sil is referring to 'The Machine', a lot of us hate it as it requires speed and coordination that just isn't possible for us, due to either older PC's (5-10 fps) or general lack of FPS-class quick-twitch reflexes. Not many players in the game can fight, heal, spot messages alerting them to incoming hostile effects; all while jumping across multiple catwalks in a confined space. The group that does go back to that encounter over and over is primarily the ones farming bracer upgrades to $ell to the rest of the players in the game.
