Horrible game design, it will be just a huge gankfest.  You have to be a masochist to even think about playing it.  If you think this game is going to be free to play you are mistaken, the item shop will be selling a lot of those resurrect character items and you will need them.

Wizardry was always a fun game, in this game only a few will find fun.

PK has several severe penalties.

1. your character gets ejected from most cities and can only use facilities (res shrines, stores, repair shops) found in other, dangerous, places (think nullsec EVE)

2. PK influences your "soul level" accross ALL CHARACTERS, making resurection significantly harder the more you PK (risk/reward)

3. PK characters will be restricted from certain zones, PVE rewards and dungeons (aka Labyrinths)

Also at SL1 you have a 100% chance to rez with all your items and you do not drop them, so "ganking" newbs is pointless and stupid. It would decrease your own SL for zero gain whatsoever.

hardcore players are insidious creatures

MMOs are too solo oriented. Ther's no reason to rely on others. We want a group focused MMO!

MMOs are too easy. We want a dungeon to challenge us!

Death means nothing in today's MMOs. We want risk!

I'm interested in reading more about Wizardry Online's mechanics. Where did you get that info from?

A year of reading bits and pieces of previews and beta/alpha testers on the net.

In the post on the previous page i linked a post i made in the wizardry forums, it then has a link to a 4 page Onrpg preview (a horrible one, mostly pics).

Its hard to find concrete info on this game, but the Onrpg article covers some points i made.

so now the 5% of DF players that thought that the full loot, free for all, pvp wasn't hard core enough will have something to play.

it might be a novelty for a week or so but i guarantee you 99% of mmo players will not have the patience and stubburness required to play this sort of game.....especially when the hard core gakers realize they have to band to gether to survive and you get hordes of gankers always running arround in large groups.

Fine go play it for a few months after it is released and come back and then tell us it was not a gank fest.  Those rules you stated will mean little to those that like to gank.

I will.

But you will not believe me and harp on about some other game you know fuck all about.

Yeah, it's great!

Until you realize there is an item in the cash shop that allows you to cheat death, in a game based around permadeath. Pretty much the very essence of pay to win.

Definately not interested then if that's the case.
