Summary: Bought, but rarely use
Review: Have several level 50 toons, and got this expansion because as many have said it's a "must have" in order to survive in RvR - the main/only "end-game" to DAoC. Main reason I don't use it anymore is they enormously sacrificed performance for eye candy. Using a 3Ghz, 1M, Nvidia system it's still a totally porked out lag-fest. Just try walking through Camp forest without looking at the ground and you'll probably lag all the way to Sauvage before you rubber-band back. I only load ToA to assist guildy's with their quests, then go back to the much more fun and much faster SI engine for regular game play. I'd only recommend this xpack to well developed characters. New players don't need it and would cause more frustration than fun. If your new to the game, get SI and have a blast. When you're 50, get ToA to do the quests, then go back to SI to enjoy the game again.

Summary: excellent expansion for the level 40 plus players
Review: Great graphics, artifacts and new armor. This is a great expansion if you have a level 40 plus character. It had some bugs on release but Mythic has fixed the bugs. I recommend this expansion if you enjoy DAOC.

Summary: This expansion damaged the game
Review: I've played DAoC since it's release. i had a great time - original RVR was a lot of fun, and my friends and i could always find a new distraction to keep us occupied. trials of atlantis, coupled with the updated new frontiers ruined DAoC. atlantis is centered around gaining artifacts, earned through absolutely tedious encounters that often require several groups of players. then, you still need to collect three scrolls to activate the artifact - these drop randomly from some creatures, calling for camping toa mobs endlessly. some of these artifacts are so overpowered that they've made players who don't get them obsolete. also, player crafted armor and particularly weapons have taken a serious blow. they can't compete with the perks on toa drops and artifacts. this expansion has pushed many original players, like myself, to walk away.

Summary: A good, but misguided expansion
Review: When the TOA expansion came out, it suffered from its share of bugs and balance issues. Many of these have been fixed. It is attractive and fun, with many quests, artifact mobs, and other challenges. The problem is, its a high level pve expansion in a game that appeals mainly to a PVP audience. PVP lovers usually hate the "repetition" (leveling treadmill, etc) of PVE. And to compete effectively in PVP you are pretty much forced to complete the Master Levels and acquire the Artifacts that are introduced in the expansion.
So if you like PvE, this is good fun. If you are like most folks that play DAOC for the PVP, you will agree that this was a misguided expansion.

Summary: Time Sink
Review: PvE Expansion for a game wich end game is PvP. Great Idea Mythic.

Summary: Time Sink!
Review: Overall, DAoC is an okay game, though it has ptential to be a GREAT game on the right server and realm. What I liked about DAoC was that it was not an EQ time sink. However, ToA changed that. Still, some of the MLs are fun, if you like 8 hour raids.

Summary: Everything you want in a MMORPG
Review: If you are reading this then you are already on the right track. This game is by far one of the best I have played. I played SWG, FFXI, and L2. And I keep coming back. No other game offers PvP like it. It does however get frustrating. Especially if you keep getting killed by the same person, but that just makes it so much better when you get revenge. The teamwork is great. Mythic has the world divided into 3 realms, all battling each other, so your "realmmates" have to help you so that you will become an assett to the team. Character custimization is great, giving you options of dying your clothes almost any shade of color, and now your weapons too. And Trials of Atlantis just opened another door, giving you the ability to fight under water, and offering a vast selection of new weapons and armors.
If you dont like PvP, DAOC still has something to offer. You can always battle monsters, a huge selection with weaknesses and strengths all to their own. And plenty of dungeons and island and underwater worlds to explore.
And if fighting isnt quite your thing, you can be a crafter and make weapons and armors, or dyes and magical gems for them.
Point being, theres always something to be had from this game. So go ahead and join the action.

Summary: Cruddy expansion for great game.
Review: If you're thinking about playing daoc, buy the platinum edition, it includes all the expansions currently available for $29.xx and you won't regret it. If you've already bought gold or classic, you don't need to even think about ToA until you're close to level 40. (for those of you who haven't played, levels top out at 50) If you are a casual player (have a life, or don't have time/money to level 2+ accounts to 50) don't add ToA on, it'll be months before you see any benefit, and it's just not that fun. The rest of the game is very enjoyable, and you don't need this annoyance to enjoy it. Good graphics though, and it has a slightly upgraded standard interface.
