what about time requirements??
EQ demands absolutely all your spare time to enjoy the
game... you know things like you have to camp for a
particular quest item for hours, sometimes days...

Is this needed in DAoC? I played EQ for a while until
I realized it took up almost my whole life...lol.. I
don't wish to start on another MMORPG that's like
that.

I heard AO is pretty good since there's that mission
console thingy that supposedly eliminates camping...
