* steps up to the podium at Age of Shadows Anonymous meeting* Ahem... Hello, my name is wylwrk HI WYLWRK Yes... ahem... I bought Age of Shadows and... *pauses* I bought Age of Shadows and used up most of my sick time from work to stay home and play a Necromancer... ... and... I enjoyed it. *cries and walks off stage*
Honestly, the only good thing to come out of Age of Shadows was Necromancy and Chivalry. I hated the item changes, the plethora of new resists, and the huge shift of focus on having the best and most neon of gear, but the spells from Necromancy were fun and interesting, and Chivalry made dexxers far more useful in both pvp and pvm. I forget if the custom housing came with AoS or if that came later, but loved that too (having the freedom to build my house) but also hated seeing so many super ugly giant box buildings or just blank spaces. The new lands AoS introduced were useless and rather ugly.
