AV hasn't ruled out cash shops. :(

There is not a cash shop currently implemented  nor will there be one near term.

A little tightly wound, aren't ya?  Relax man, it's a game, not real life.  Go out and get some fresh air.

They are making a f2p version for the Asian market. It makes scence that the background work for a cash shop would be build in. It dosn't mean the EU or NA servers will follow that model anytime soon.

Agreed, but "soon" could be next month or next year.

I loved the UO drag drop style inventory system. I'm sorry to see it go. It had it's issues but added a tactile element that did apeal to a fair amount of players. I'm not so much of a fan boi that I can't see the advantage of the change and not give it a chance before raging.

I also loved the drag/drop style of looting. Sad to see it go. At least that's what it looks like from the video.

Something that gives DF a good population should be considered. If only so more people try it and learn that full loot pvp is bloody amazing!. Too many people simply will not try it with a sub and full loot.  We have to do something that stems the tide of fail mmos like all the other companies are spewing out.

Hopefully it's never. If they go with a cash shop, I go bye bye. I don't care how great an mmo is, if my sub fee isn't enough to access all content, my money goes into someone else's pocket.

Is it me or does UW look like its tailored for a Console?

Boosters are the stat titles from DFO and are purchased with player points. Its not microtransactions. 

Sweet.

I just can't wait.

This time around it looks like AV have a winner

Yep, watching the vid that was my first impression as well.

Oh and yeah, I like UO style looting and would like to see it stay. Meaning it saddens me seeing DF go away from certain roots.

Surely for people who want instant loot, a script could be coded ingame - to avoid unfair advantages and requirement for scripting knowledge (and that is not just for looting but skills as well).

I understand people will miss the old looting system if indeed it actually IS gone.....we are jumping to conclusions here as none of us have played it yet I might add.

The old system was fun, I enjoyed it, but like some other people have said it did alienate a large portion of MMO players who are used to mainstream looting and did not help people enjoy the game.

Also, I laugh at the people who complain about lack of immersion in the "new" system or any tactical gameplay loss. I played from NA launch up until a few months ago and 90% of that time I had an auto looter for PVE. If you did ANY PvE you realized how painful it was to farm for hours and manually loot everything. Try to tell your wrist... "HEY!! This is so much more tactical WHY do you have to go all carpel tunnel on me brah??!?!?!"
