For the most part it is. My characters are still in the same guild she was in when she started, I'm just rarely ever on anymore. I get tired of camping a mob for hours upon hours. I played a little more when the Luclin expansion came out but the new zones were unbelievebly tough. We had a grp of 50+ in one of the zone and kept getting creamed. I really liked DAOC, I thought it was just thought out far better than EQ and offered the user more but I ran into that whole "lonely" thing when I couldnt find a grp and some of the ppl were kind of rude.
