Amanda pretty much summed up my feelings as well. I'm always a
little bemused by the seeming constant emphasis placed on grouping
by MMORPG developers. I dread another 'forced' implementation such
as EQ's in any game I'm looking forward to.
Having said that, I was however a little surprised by a statement by
Mark Jacobs in an online audio interview some time ago where he said
he tends to solo in these games. No doubt this has much to do with
DAoC's relative solo friendliness.
