This is the thread where I edited the question to say that I had just noticed the other thread. But now the edit is gone. Looks like the forum was reverted to a backup. Thanks for answering again.

Like I said before the revert, it sounds like boxing AoC will be impossible, but maybe with ingenuity and some additions to third-party software, we'll figure out ways to do it.

Because of your posts here I looked at the AoC website, and it's the first MMO that seems interesting to me in quite a while. I get the impression that it's a plain unadorned virtual world where you can wander around and encounter things without magical prompts in the sky telling you where you are and what to do next. Is that true?
