Just started playing AA, hard to say. Its got world pvp, housing and whatnot. I dont think its full loot, but it has trade routes like an old skool MUD - and the trade packs drop. Which is a feature I have been saying is needed in an MMO for like a decade.

The char spec system is nice, lots of build variation.

Game is an interesting blend of sandbox and themepark. I think it has the necessary sandbox world attributes of old UO and then some. What it likely lacks compared to UO is the sandbox social aspect. Instead of people of all sorts hanging out at dungeon entrances and duel rooms, expect roving blobs.

Cant really comment on endgame much yet though, I've just read stuff and played for a day.
