Official Dark Age of Camelot Servers Now F2P

My first wtf moment in Warhammer Online was getting involved in a keep raid in some foresty Order zone, there were maybe 20 players involved but as soon as we got inside the keep the game just became an unplayable slideshow.

I had a pretty nice gaming pc at the time (2x 8800GT in SLI and a Q6600), and strong cable internet.

I remembered how I could be involved in massive 100 v 100 RvR battle in DAoC without much noticeable lag. And this was on some random Dell PC and dial-up. The same studio made these games. I had also just previously been burnt by both Vanguard and Age of Conan.

I didn't play much longer after that.

Warhammer also had some of the worst class balancing that I've ever seen in an MMO. My class, Shaman, happened to be one of the shitty ones so that also influenced my departure. Bright Wizards were ridiculous (best CC and AOE, you had no choice but to just die) and Ironbreakers were especially stupid. They could punt you anywhere, which meant they would just auto win whenever there was some sort of hazard nearby. Also, there was a volcano BG that was filled with lava, so a solo Ironbreaker could just single-handedly win for his team by just running around and punting everyone into the lava.
