Bad graphics meets good storyline

I recently played Dark Age of Camelot for the first time. I spent a while downloading the trial along with several other MMORPG's I've been interested in. I would recommend to anyone looking to try new MMORPG's that you download several at once. Most MMORPG's download at a certain speed based on peer to peer connections with other users downloading the same content, and if you start several game downloads at once, you are still getting the same speed while getting more done. Remember that this is not going to leave you much bandwidth for much more than browsing the internet slowly.

Dark Age of Camelot is based on the great story of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The story and the way the game is designed to allow players to choose what comes next in the game by playing it, has got to be the best setting for MMORPG's of all time. This alone attracted me to the game. While it is true that the graphics are lacking (quite like Runescape) the purpose of an MMORPG is not to impress with graphics, but to provide an environment that is enjoyable to the player. I bought some DAOC Gold right away to further my experience without struggling for things I wanted, needed, or could really use. I did some research on the game after playing it for an hour and a half. Wikipedia has a great informational article and is also where I learned of the ability for players to influence the direction the game takes next. Once you reach maximum level, and begin to experience the end-game content, you will understand how the influence playing the game has on future content. The above mentioned Wikipedia article explains this with example. I think I would have to give this game a 6 out of 10 score, I do weigh graphics into my decision because I have spoiled by World of Warcraft（wow cataclysm cd key）.
