DAoC is a good game, but. . .

I reallly do not like the linearity of being FORCED into a group to accomplish anything. This where I think it should really be left up to the players. The "locked in" type of system in regards to classes is not fun either.

you are not forced into grouping at all. Necromancers solo to 50, reavers can solo to 50, ive seen CLERICS that can solo to 50(and was impressed at how well they do, when they are built to solo) armsmen can solo... mercs can solo.... MAYBE if you stop fightig reds/oranges and fight yellow/blues you will realize that you can solo =/.
Thats like saying "i made a cleric, and i went pure rejuv instead of smiting, why cant i solo?"
just raise your character to solo if thats all you want to do
While true everything happens better in a group. MMRORPG's are social games, nearly all classes can solo well, it becomes of a issue of why would want to solo. While there are valid reasons, if you goal is to never group, then MMORPG's in general aren't for you.
Would you care to share some of details that lead you to this conclusion or are you basing it off what other people have said about DAoC?
All MMORPG's will require you to work in groups, otherwise they would just be RPG's. If the mere concept of grouping is a turn off, I would suggest Neverwinter Nights.

Achievers realise that killers as a concept are necessary in order to make achievement meaningful and worthwhile (there being no way to "lose" the game if any fool can "win" just by plodding slowly unchallenged). -bartle

Truth be told, it was good about 2 years ago - it is a piece of crap now. I would not recommend the game to anyone.
As for being FORCED to group. you donthave to. it makes it easier if you do. but you can and several classes almost half to go it solo. Your Shadowblades, Cabalists, Nightshades and Infiltrators have a heck of a time finding groups. Since the nerf bat swung at Zerkers, they are hard to group.
Most game will be set up this way. It encourages socialization. and developes teamwork and that kinda stuff. I dont have a problem with being forced to group as it is something I would seek out anyways.
