Was one of the marks against having gigantic fucking zones with absolutely no fucking thing going on in them?
I'm actually a pretty big VG apologist. I feel if they shrunk the scope of the overworld in half it would have been a competent game. At the very least it had by far the best class-to-class interaction in any MMO I've ever played. And disciple and blood mage are the two best classes ever created. Why WoW went with it's gay-and-boring-as-fuck Chi system for it's monks instead of hijacking the combo system from Disciple I'll never know.
Oh yeah then the offensive/defensive target system was tits as well. Really opened up class design that allowed disciple and blood mage to function correctly. Also really made Paladin feel like a Paladin.
