well aoc didnt bring anything new to the table. well they brought collision detection back, but without friendly fire its just laughable.

DF on the other hand brings many old qualities back that has been forgotten since (UO/AC-DT), and adds a shitload innovations on top.

This is why I hype it, I want people to try a sandbox mmorpg, because its a whole different experience compared to the the EQ/Daoc/WoW/Aoc spreadsheet mmorpgs. Its like a whole different kind of game, and I really want people to try this out.
 

 Problem is your hyping it without ever having played/beta'd it. In other words you could be lying as you don't know that any of the statements your making to Hype the game are true. Yes you want them to be true, you might even believe them to be true but you have no proof. This unfortunately doesn't stop you from making statement you would like to be true as fact

   As you said you "really want people to try DF out" however reposting what the Devs say as fact without any proof makes you look alittle sad. Though I admit not as bad as the fans making up statements like "The game play is incredable" when no one here has actually played/beta'd the game.  The whole "This is the greatest game ever! What no, no I haven't played the game but I saw a video/read the Faq and Its the greatest game ever!" mentallity is probably what gets me the most. 

What kind of kiddie Seasame Street BS is going on here fighting and trolling over something petty :( Yes Im awaitng DF as well cause Im really psyched about playing it but comeon guys how old are most of you to lower yourself to these people to bicker like a bunch of ol'women? Give it a rest....

For some reason, the MMORPG crowd hates Darkfall.

 

This is why it will be soo sweet to see it #1 on the anticipation scale.  Of course until they find some reason to remove it again *cough* lowering size of list *cough*

I don't believe this is true.  I believe the MMORPG crowd wants to see DF extremely badly, but has been let down over and over with empty promises and lack of observable evidence to the existence of DF.  I think the "crowd" just wants to see the game released and is sick and tired of waiting, resulting in a negative outlook on DF. 

I'm sure the gear obsessed, level-based carebears have a little of resentment for DF because they fear anything that doesn't allow you to play a game with little due regard for their characters life.  In other words, they can't just run in a dungeon and die with no consequences because in games like DF they just don't fit in due to the risk/reward systems.

Hello Kitty top of hype today. LOLZ

WFT is going on?

I've never been a player of shitty looking mmos. But I have to say this game looks fun and will give it a shot. Honestly graphics are on par with warhammer and the gameplay is not for slow retarded fucks that needs 10 sec to react.

Just wanted to inform you guys, Darkfall just to outpaced Aion and Stargate Worlds is next (both at the same rating atm). Then only Warhammer, which will leave the "unreleased games"-section in 10 days, is above Darkfall. Whether you want it or not - Darkfall is coming!1

No. 1!

 

 You do know there was a thread stating "Darkfall is coming" on these very boards. It was dated Sept of last year. At the time the fans swore up and down just as they do now. that the game would be out by the end of the year or early 2008.

  Sorry i just can't buy your hype anymore. Darkfall may indeed be coming the question is will it be in any of our lifetimes. Still no UI shown in the video's (how eaxactly are they "playing" the game?) and no real media has seen it. (well there was one guy this year "yellowbeard" that said he saw it, and one guy last year think it was "ash" or some guild leader.) Yet the fans spout that "Lots" and "Many" have seen it, and that its "Coming" as well as it has "amazing game play" Lol wonder when they played it, and of yeah "its as sandboxy then SWG ever was" Once again all these truths seem to have come from the recent video, and the fact 2 people have reported they have actually seen it. No I'm not forgetting some greek magazine supposibly saw it and the really old report from womens gamers from a few years back

  Vaporware? No I'm not saying that (never have) Greatest game ever? personally I'd not say that from what little info / videos have been released, but do wish you fanbois the best of luck. If DF is great it might be a shot in the arm to all MMO's ( plus all the gankers, and griefers will have a game to play ) 

To be fair, some UI has been shown.

You get to see the buy/sell ui. Backpack/paperdol ui. Position /target sensitive mouse cursor. I believe some sort of general UI is also there in the buy/sell section of the video on the left. It's usual to turn such UI off for gameplay videos and screen shots.

How is that a problem?  The whole point of the hype meter is to measure people's excitement about an future game.  That is why the hypemeter is created for a game the moment the game is listed on MMORPG.com.  The User Rating that replaces the HYpemeter upon a game's release is designed to measure people actual experiences with the game.

The hypemeter is so that idiotic fanboys can rate other games 1 and get all their fellow idiotic fanboys to do likewise, whilst knowing bugger all about it.

I gave Huxley and Fallen Earth 10's as well.

However, shit like Aion and Chronicles of Spellborn fall into the 1 category for me.

I imagine it isn't an issue of forumfallers maliciously giving games 1's, but there just being no games worth giving a higher rating on the charts at the time.
