I see I have a "REST" ability....
?--when i log out do i just leave or do i rest later in a city at lvl 20?

Or do i not have to worry about resting other than the ability ????

Well, in AO, "resting" is sitting and your health and power regenerate twice as fast. My guess would be that you can not attack and regen your stuff faster?

You don't have to camp to log out, as long as you aren't in a fight you can hit the "log out now" button, or just wait the 30 seconds.

The rest ability just gives you a faster regen, you have to be out of combat to use it.. but just barely. Sometimes i'll hit it for a few seconds between mobs.

I like the animation of him leaning over with his hands on his knees and then stretching... most games just make you sit.

Glad FC was original on that one ;)

Yea, the only thing missing is the cigarette.

Is the gameplay similar to AO?

Not really. there are some things but... A lot of folks on forums are comparing it to a console game.
