General Discussion

We need something like Shadowbane, only not a buggy broken graphically ugly mess.

Something that all the "hardcore" gankers and griefers are always asking for.

It needs to be FFA. You can attack anyone, anywhere. And on top of being able to kill anyone, anywhere, the leveling curve needs to be steep. And just to taunt players, make leveling much easier if you're in a group. Of course, if you do group, someone in the group will probably stab you in the back when your hit points are way down.

Of course, make players lootable. Not just one or two items, but be able to strip someone and take as much gear as you can carry.

And, you should be able to gank newbs, and anyone that is 10 levels above you or more, can totally pwn you, and you can't even do one point of damage to them.

Put everything in it, like stealth, crowd control, and the ability to one shot another player with the right set up. All the stuff that most players cry about.

The graphics dont' need to be bleeding edge, because the sort of players that like this game are more concerned about gameplay than graphics.

We just need one of these games, and we can send all the "hardcore" players that complain about RvR or carebears, or whatever, to that game.

There really isn't anything out, or even in development that I know of, that fits this bill. Not just an after thought FFA server, but a game actually designed to be like this, a real pain in the arse for the casual player that doesn't want to get ganked every 5 minutes. I think there's enough players looking for this sort of gameplay, that it could make a buck. It's not going to be really popular, and it's definitely a niche, but I think it's a niche that needs to be filled.

 No offense to the griefers and gankers out there. Seriously, someone needs to make this game.

Shadowbane? That game was weak.

We need Darkfall baby!

EDIT: Yes I know, im sick of staying with carebears too, we definately need our own game. Bloody Darkfall, release already!

They won't play it :P

They won't have the people who don't want that to terrorize.

I forgot to add, because I didn't think it was necessary, that Vaporware doesn't count.

If you're saying we need something LIKE Darkfall, but that is actually in development, then I agree.

But actually, make it more simple than Darkfall, so it's more likely to get finished and released. You don't need to be able to craft ships, and have naval battles and all that baloney. Just add the features I listed in the OP, and that will be good enough.

Actually, they WILL play it. Sure, they'd like it better if they could terrorize players that don't want this sort of gameplay, but they WILL terrorize each other. Sure, subscription numbers will be low compared to most AAA titles, but I think it would work, since you'd be the ONLY hardcore game in town.

The DAoC FFA servers were god awful to play on, but still people played.

Won't work they will cause that game to die like they do others and then infest whatever else comes a long and say their stuff was awesome and is the only way to make games survive.

Gilvane, you're the creator of mmorpgmaker aren't you? Grab some people there, and take care of that problem!

Yes, I mean something exactly like Darkfall thats in development.

I wont say its vaporware, but I wont say its in development either... people can argue on this forever, and this isnt a Darkfall flame thread, so lets not flame it. I hope it released, but chances are bleak as we all know.

As for they wont play it, those arent hardcore players then. They're just pussies. A person who cant take his own medicine deserves to die, seriously.

It's fun killing a bunch of carebears who're defenseless and keep whining about dying etc, but its just SOOO much more fun killing someone that actually poses a challenge.

But you've had it for 7 years..  It's called ForumFall.

Darkfall is played out vaporware that is worse than Shadowbane.
