I was in the last couple of weeks of open beta for AoC and am still playing now.

The combat is its biggest draw, and it's pulled off extremely well. Quest-giving zones have plenty of quests and rewards to dote on you, and better yet: all of the classes are a blast.
I've gotten three of my avatars past lvl20 and have probably deleted 4 or 5 others... not because they weren't fun, mind you, it's just I have the tendency to roll as many toons as I can and burn out before I get past the mid-levels.

I'm trying to stay focused so I can finally have a character hit the level cap.

(Been playing MMO's since WoW/CoH came out, and to date, have yet to progress anywhere near endgame.)
As the M-rating would suggest, it's not for everybody, though. There's the occasional crude and suggestive language, decapitations if you're a sword-swinger, a few element-based fatalities if you prefer finger-waggling and... believe it or not, boobs... nips and all... this is most likely its second biggest draw.

There are different versions, however... I think it was Germany that had the most censored one. But, eh, either way, not something you'd want the little ones to see. :/
If you can handle or don't mind the mature content, I'd recommend it.
