Damn that was sweet. The video just proves that AoC is going in the right direction and is bringing new stuff in the MMO genre - new, as in combos. AC and UO both had twitch involved so its not really new.
Heard you can also play the game with a gamepad (good for xbox 360), you (or anyone there) tried that a bit ? Or just played on a keyboard ?
It seems as if playing the Demonologist is really cool. If I get to play this game in beta, I might try that one out first before the ranger...
Can't wait to see PvP in action

@tterrell : haha yeah, I was hoping for WoW players to see this and join up on AoC - this is a great intro article, I am pretty sure it doesn't have anything new but it sums up the basics of AoC. Everyone who is converted by this article should comment on this article.

Just a keyboard. But yeah, it's going to be out on Xbox eventually too, so it's no doubt being designed with gamepad support in mind. Heck, the combat system itself definitely feels like a very flexible system that will easily integrate into gamepad play.

since its all cone stuff I wonder if PvP will end up like CS was all jumping and spinning around people etc. Wish we could have seen the ranged char play also. Game looks like its coming along very well cant wait!

Naw it won't be like CS. It does involve twitch, but not the FPS style twitch

Whenever you jump (or sprint) you'll drain stamina so you can't bunny-jump a'la CS.
