This was originally posted under the Jan 22 release date thread but I don't know if any of you read it so I'm posting it here for my UO brothers and sisters.  I just found it interesting.  Also this was my first post on these forums so I do talk about some other things first.

First off let me say that I had never even heard of Dark Fall until about a month ago. I was playing a crappy little free to play game that some of you may know called Perfect World...don't even get me started on THAT.

So I'm sitting there wishing for some better game when I hear that the leader of the faction that my faction is at war with is going to go to some game called "Dark Fall". I had been patiently awaiting Aion and still am.

But I go and start checking out DFO and to my astonishment I find a game that reminds me SOOO much of UO in its Glorious past that I begin to drool. Then I read the name of the world "Agon". Something stirs inside me as if soon I will be going "home". You see when I played UO it was the only mmo on the market and my first lesson in learning that even though a place may not exist on our plane of "reality" and only exists in cyberspace, it can still become "home" to you. I can't tell you how much I miss playing UO and I only quit when they COMPLETELY changed the game up over night. Those of you old school UO players know exactly what I'm talking about and to those of you that didn't play let's just use today's terminology and say that they "nerfed" the ENTIRE game. Anyway, I digress.

I really just want to say that those of us that the trolls call "fanboys", for the most part, remember UO fondly and only stopped playing because Origin refused to keep up with the times graphics wise and also completely changed the game...you remember when you came online and all your vanq and power swords suddenly had numbers everywhere? Then every mmo in the world went to the number leveling system and stopped the thief class and player looting because the so called "hardcore" pvp'rs whined when they died and all their stuff was jacked. To me if you don't want the option of TOTAL LOOTING when you die AND xp or xp in skills lost when you die to ANYTHING, player or otherwise, then don't call yourself a HARDCORE pvp'r cause really all you are is a QQ'ing CAREBEAR.

Now comes Dark Fall. And those of you that played UO when it was UO can attest to the fact that this is really a BETTER , hopefully, remake of that world. Now there has been a tremendous amount of flaming about DFO. All I have to say about that is that I realize that most of you have been waiting for years for this and I can sympathize with you on all the delays. However, sometimes we need to look beyond what we know as reality to the supernatural for a "sign". And the one sign that may have escaped my UO brothers and sisters is hiding in XAleX360's post in the first pic of the Adventurine sign. I choose to take it as a GOOD omen about us finally going home. Look at the name of the company right beside the Number 2 on that pic and tell me it doesn't make you think it's a good Omen...tell me it's not ordained by fate...because the name of it is...

A good omen? Im having a hard time figuring out the point of this post. Or why you keep posting about your love of UO in multiple threads.
 

Hate to break it to you, but there are far more "bad omens" out there. This one is really reaching. Im glad youve got a new game to follow, but be aware that theres no way the game is going to live up to the hype.

Before you jump on the bandwagon, step back, take a deep breath, and remember that many games of late from more established companies with better funding have bombed as of late. Its better not to expect anything and suffer no disappointment than it is to have unrealistic expectations and get burned in the end.

the company is called Aventurine, not Adventurine, and the game is called Darkfall, not Dark Fall, thats a completely different game.
