i played eq2 on the pvp server since the beginning.  A LOT of people on nagafen are just tired of the game in general, especially SOE's dev ignorance for PVP.  Many of my friends on nagafen will be coming to darkfall... once they play they'll stay too.

edit:   i see it taking a large chunk of eq2's already dieing PVP... maybe causing eq2's pvp servers their ultimate demise.    These server's deaths may free up one extra dev to help bail out the sinking ship of everquest two tho.

Good, we don't want the PvP'rs in EQ2 anyway.

We won't be hearing cry's of "change my class so I can kill other classes better" anymore.

Why would anybody leave EQ2 for darkfail   

the hype is always high before the launch !

hope you find fun in DF

I say this with absolutely no malice, but I find it hard to take the opinion of someone named "bongloads" seriously.

Ah, probably just me.

  Just am i'm sure many people can't take seriuosly someone with an avatar of Lando Griffin :P

Honestly I just use it as a way to even the score for debates... I usually have the upper hand so i might as well feed my nemesis some worthless ammo.

Yeah.

   The funny thing is, is that the name bongloads, coupled with his avatar, makes me laugh. How did you come up with Jeff44? Thats original. let me guess your name is Jeff and your 44 years old and the dad from Family Guy is your role model....whos serious now?

   Its hard to take ANYONE serious on these boards, because everyone is anonymous and it is a MMORPG forum...i mean, really....?

I think it's safe to assume that some EQ2 players, and probably heavy PvP'ers, will at the very least check out Darkfall...if it is what they say it's going to be it sounds like a PvP'ers dream MMO.

Some will stay, some won't.

 During beta i probably spend 2% of my time actively pursuing PVP.  Most of the time i was PVEing, and having a blast.   Four years of EQ2 PVE had me craving a change... and i found it.

Wait, the name "bongloads" makes you laugh, but the dad from Family guy does nothing for you?

Is this a great country, or what?

Rofl  good try on my server all i hear is people laughing at DF but i dont play on a pvp server which might make a big differance.

I feel most people who have played EQ2 for long enough now have made friends /guildies  and wont be leaving but on pvp it could be totally differant as far as i know .

If i did pvp i dont think i would do it on EQ2 thats for sure after what i hear and read about pvp there.

sorry but the EQ2 crowd and the DF crowd are two totally different types of players, i doubt that EQ2 will even feel a dent from people going to DF

notice how you posted after me, you followed me here...admit it, you lub me!

I have come to the conclusion i need 2 games. 1 PVE focused and 1 PvP focued. When a game tries to achieve both aspects, it breaks the game. (to date)

I just went back to EQ2 last week to elevate my PvE experience to a higher level. (WoW is dumbing down already easy content with each expansion release and the PvP gets reworked and broke every few patches - I've given up as that game is dictated by 11 million whiners now, leaving the 1 million true Fantasy RPG fans in the cold)

I am anticipating Darkfall will fill my PvP needs.

If Darkfall fails, I will return to MMOFPS War based simulators for my PvP and continue to leverage EQ2 for PvE until a better PvE game comes out. I also plan on trying The Chronicles of Spellborn to see how it fairs.

Also I will try Mortal Online for PvP fun if Darkfall fails to meet my requirements for fun.

Really I am not sure EQ2 would be affected outside of the few people who only like to play one game at a time and are tired of PVE focused MMOs in general. I suppose if Darkfall turns out to shockingly have awesome PVE experiences I would ditch EQ2 again, but I am not expecting that to be the case at all.

Uh, what? On Nagafen all I see are "lol darkfall cool story bro" and "more like darkfail." What Nagafen are you on?

I don't see darkfall making a too big of a dent in any game.  After all, it is a very niche game.  Not for everyone.  Especially the gamers who play EQ2, LotRO, and the sort.

eq2 gamestyle is very different to darkfall.

also darkfall lacks eq2 polish and will deter most eq2 players
