General Discussion

woohoo, another PVP game that Pvpers wont play

graphics did look nice, although I seriously doubt anyone will see that sort of thing ingame.. its like every Mcdonalds commerical with those beautifuly stacked, cheese melting, morning dew still clinging to the lettuce buger we all see on TV.. they never look that good when you actually get your hands on them.

Looks cool and has potential. Lets hope it doesn't end up as crap like 90% of the MMOs out there. I'll deffinatly keep an eye out for it.

Dear sir

Can I kindly ask you to raise the bar for when and how game developers can make it to be included at mmorpg.com?

When it comes to games like Darkfall and Mortal Onlines they are conceptually great for a lot of hardcore / sandbox games fans. However they do tend to pollute the industry due to the fact they are game concepts disguised as real games under development. This create inflammation of the boards, insults towards real game developers and create a blurry picture of the games that are truly being developed!

I don't think this is in the interest of mmorpg.com. Eventually real game developers will shy these boards and potentially hurt your advertisement sales. Also keeping the boards clean will provide for a nice place where people can follow real games.

I think games that look and feel dodgy or have been under development for 7+ years without having the backing of a real company that previously produced anything, should be removed from the boards. If Darkfall or Mortal Online wants to join the board they should prove they are for real.

I live in Copenhagen, Denmark and have friends all over the place. In Austin, Texas (of all places) I have friends who are into 3d games and who have developed their own engine just as a hobby. There are literally powerful freeware engines out there which can be used to make mockups. Some photoshopping and videoediting and skills you can make a sparkling new website and a fake game and drag people around by the nose.
It has become easier and easier to do so, with computer skills becoming abundant and freeware engines that float around everywhere on the web.

So the question is, how will you deal with this? How will you ensure that these boards will keep to a certain standard? And not let fake developers like Darkfall use these boards as a platform to gain attention for their pet projects and attempts to find an investor with something that isn't even a quarter of a game yet?

yours sincerely,

Draccan

A valid point. I would like to see a staff response to this.

This looks amazing, it looked like they are going all out , and I can't wait ! Definitely sticking to LotrO until this or Darkfall come out.

Way uncool.  Just because Darkfall is mostly likely Vaporware, does not mean that all MMOs from a new dev teams are.  They claim to have 3 years of work in their game and claim they will release in 09.  Let’s wait and see on this before we start calling all new dev team games vaporware.

Just because they are making the same type of game, doesn't mean you can put them into one group.

Also, when a game uses Unreal Engine3 and is licenced by Epic Games, that is enough to say that they are serious about development.

Look into the game before you group them as one.
