It's actually pretty funny to watch people demonstrate just how ignorant of the facts they really are. I am consistently seeing more and more new people in-game then ever before, as for AC, my g/f plays and from what I've seen there is a strong community there also. As far as this game heading towards WoW-ism, I really think you need to take a look at what DDO is and realize that there really is no comparison to WoW, unless you think that all MMOs are the same. Just from the comments that you have made, it shows that you really don't have a clue as to what you are talking about. Sorry, if there was a town meeting and you showed up, I think that the comments you would provide would be in general disagreement with the rest of the community. Sorry man, sometimes it helps to know what you are talking about before you say anything.
