Best MMO ever!*

Funcom did awesome job bringing the world of REH novels to life - the architecture, cultures, weapons, armors are excellent! Then they've put awesome into awesome, by introducing Chulhu Mythos in expansions (House of Crom, Rise of the Godslayer, Secrets of Dragon's Spine).

Melee combat is meaty - the animations, movement, collisions create an illusion of characters being physical objects. Most of the melee attacks are real swings, so anything caught in their reach will be hit (you don't have to target) and the direction of your attack matters. Then there are fatalities, a real reward for dealing massive damage at the right moments - throats will be cut, hands chopped off and you might even find yourself ripping your enemies head with bare hands!

Mages are able to enter spellweaving stance to unleash a real hell on their foes, but every boon from their gods or demonic masters comes with a risk. Healing is more HoT-based and priests are also encouraged to contribute as damage dealers.

While dungeons and raids in base game are more straight-forward, the expansion content is just jaw-dropping. Most of the fights have very unique bosses with crazy mechanics (naughty posy!) and stuff like Enigmata of Yag or House of Crom raid are just state-of-the-art.

Spent almost 4 years completely engrossed in the game - download it and get a piece of it yourself!
