I was going to buy AoC, but based on reviews, I decided not to.
This however seems like a great trial, so I guess I'll finally try it.

I played AoC to level 20 on the island, got the screen to upgrade when I tried to leave the island, and let the game go. There are FAR too many free MMO's out there that are better than AoC. Everquest 2 recently went free to play, they just limit chat, guild interaction, bag space, etc. Sony has it figured out fairly well. AoC just gave people that might have bought the game a way to try it out and decide they're better off keeping their money.

My review of aoc.

Qualifications lvl 70 ranger in less than 2 weeks.

Combat system
Combo on a rail - no freeform here. About all you can do is execute either a preprogrammed combo LOOKING attack or a set combo attack. Set combo = specific keys must be pressed or the combo fizzles, no chance to enter a different combo once started.

The combat is, plant your feet and deal with long durations between attacks. Use crowd control effects to pin players/mobs in place. The only thing that can attack while moving is something waving a sword. And even then they have to plant a little bit. No fast paced action here. It really doesn't matter what class or path you pick, while soloing, yer gonnah be the tank. Enemies with way too many hp and way to low damage will be the norm.

Stealth aspect is pretty subpar. No matter how well you have your hiding trained, you're going to get spotted quite quickly except for certain times of day you may be able to slip past enemies well below what would pose any combat challenge to you anyway.

Customer service
Customer service will answer the first question they want to answer regardless of whether or not it was even a question you asked and abruptly close the session in your face. Honestly though, this is pretty common among games.

Payment options, recently most banks have taken a stand against fraudulent charges originating overseas. Mostly due to commonly used online payment option companies such as PayPal etc losing or selling all of your personal data. Funcom is a Norwegian company. While the bulk of the fraud is coming from the UK, Norway is still firmly on the blacklist. You’ll have to pay with time cards from best buy. Major, major, hassle. Customer service was pretty displeased when it was suggested that they should do business with more secure companies such as Google checkout.

Documentation and guides
Aoc guides and loot tables are ridiculously limited. The few players they have left, really couldn't care less than to build any sort of databases.

The player base has almost completely died out on a number of servers. So bad was it that they had to combine servers just to have enough people to happen along and find someone at random. If you weren’t specifically looking for anyone, you surly would not see anyone. And even if you were looking for someone, only one class can track that someone down. On the bright side... that one class really can't do anything to them once they found them anyway.

Graphics
They are okay but still do not compare with other more enjoyable and true free to play games out there. There are nipples and completely naked succubae and it is extremely refreshing to be out of the crib, so to speak. it's honestly the only selling point: murder, nudity, fatality animation sequences and bonuses for them that can really change the tide of a skirmish, outright criminality of every sort stopping only just short of pedoviolence(full grown women and men are equally fair game), all the children live.

Parental control type oversight by game operators.
No.

Oversight of cheating and or hacking
nah.

My advice
Hit the free pron site for a minute and then go back to whatever else you were doing. stop before you try to beat the hacker that's been paying for his subscription with money he's gotten by selling duplicated gold to the people who're trying to beat him.
