Disagree.  If you get into a RTI or COA game, you're at a greater disadvantage
than if you join NIC.  A given module has basically identical geography,
locations, and NPC's across all games of that module, and knowing about a
given module helps you out with subsequent games of that module.  Since both
RTI and COA have been running for a long time, there are a lot of players
out there experienced with those modules (so they know to "go kill the
ancient dragon in the Shadow Hills to get the Sword of Power" and you don't).
Since NIC is brand new, you go in not knowing the game system, but knowing the
module as well as everyone else does.

They're in the process of setting up NIC 3.  If you sign up now, you have
fair chance of getting a setup in the next month or so.
