Well, the deadth penalty. *sigh* If you die to travel then its your decission. As in life cheating almost always leads to boredom. Action and consequences. Whatever you decide, you have to take the consequences.
I guess everybody that ahs to run from New Tarantia to Eigolophian Mountains the 3rd or 4th time will start to think about using deaths as shortcuts for travels. I so hate Connels valley and the stupid ways you have to follow there to get from one end to the other(why not allow a straight way from one end to the other?).
Fields of the dead is not that bad, as the way is not that much different from a straight run. but why not put some horse travel service in. I guess griffins would not fit the lore, and travling across zone borders might cause problems, but having horse npc's that let you ride from one of the zone to the other end for a price would definitely be a nice way to solve that running problem. (at same time they should probabaly also increase death penalties to something that makes a difference)
OMG! The OP has to be kidding! I'm gonna agree with you guys this game is among the easiest to plck up and play, it kinda fels like the beat em up of mmorpgs, u cud just button bash and you'd kill something. But once you hit lvl60+ the game does get harder. Monster actually startto have real AI. Some summon high hp/atk adds, others a whole field, few know when and how to nullify your attacks. But if you know how to play and do it well any challenges can be reduce to a stroll like pace.
If you want true hard gameplay try to 100% it in epic and level 80 instances. I'm not saying AI gets better just that there's more hp,def,res and atk power in those places.
As for the statement this is the easiest game to play I don't think that's 100% true. IMO Granado Espada(aka sword of new world) holds that title, one button press and the game will afk and kill for you.
Anywhooo I'd love to hear the OP reply to all our comments. But with the way OP's work on these forums I doubt it will hapen
Towards the grabbing your tombstone is a must have comment. I really hope you are kidding I am lvl 56 and I sometimes fight with 3 penalties on(the max from what ive seen) and I feel like there is no penalty at all.

That is because Funcom still has not figured out how to balance yet. One would think that a company that has had another MMO out for years now would have a clue on how to balance stats but it looks like they are still floundering
game 2 hard h8 this game cus its sooooo hard is not fun ALL THE MONSTERS ARE STRONGER THAN ME DO U GET STRONGER AS U GET MORE POWERS????? cus its not even fun to just die
First to all others: its not nice to talk to a person, no matter what. EVERYONE has hard times with SOMETHING.
As to the OP: I know AoC is different, and its harder yet, because you have to re-learn, and learn more than in other MMOs. The curve is definitely higher, you have to adapt to each class, but currently the balancing is not there, so some classes are easier than others. I hear Priest of Mitra is strong above level 8 or so when you get the rebuke spell. I dont play anymore, I only was in beta, but maybe you play a class less dependend on combos, so you may chose magic or priest.
Also, I had gotten a gamepad (I can recommend the logitech one) then you can program combos to each button, that greatly helps, especially in PVP. ^^
Take heart, even some of my WOW playing friends made it, so can you.

This game is on par with WoW in difficulty. It is easy to learn, and only moderatly hard to master. In fact you could argue this game is easier than WoW due to the death penalty in this game being non existent.
And I have been using death as a means of travel as well, I just can not run through these zones hundreds of times over it is boring, so I just jump off the nearest high ledge and respawn at wherever is closest to my destination.
I think the only 'difficult' part of this game in terms of gameplay is acquring money. But I think that is more to do with the limited bag space than anything else. Plus it is not difficult just grinding.
To those people who thought the OP was serious, i suggest you turn on your sarcasm detector... on the WoW forums (main WoW site, not this) you get posts like this all the time... let me shout for the slower folks...

It's very easy to pick up on sarcasm online when you can't hear the tone of someones voice...
Who are we to assume the post is sarcasm when people really post like this?

are you serious?
Aoc is easymode.. maby the easyest mmo that dosnt play itself ever made.
if you want to let it play itself, you can always use a macro controller keyboard for the combos!
theres no real death penalty, no gear to repair.. its just pure fun.
FFA server FTW.
