That being said, the game is still in the very early phases of development. The guys tell us that they are developing both the game and the engine at the same time and that they are working toward launching a technical alpha in the near future.

Caution Flag

I agree. Unknown devs trying to make a game is hard enough, but to have to make an engine plus the game is really stacking the odds against them. Doesn't mean they can't do it, but it'll take alot longer than devs using a proven game engine. Will wait and see how this one goes before getting too excited. Does look interesting if they pull it off, though.

This one can be big!

OOOO OUCH!!! ya thats kinda insulting this awsome game right from the get go, comparing it to a game with 2001 graphics. The difference between THIS game and DF is alot of things such as:

-Will actually be released..

-The Devs of DF "supposedly" have more of a completed game at this point, yet they didnt even go to the convention which would have scored them some attention and possibly a publisher (not the best ones...but one nonetheless) EARTHRISE Devs went to the Convention, had a blast, and even gave us some news and a couple awsome screenshots...but they arent jerking our chains and they are keeping us updated every step of the way.

I could keep going but in the end its nothing compared to DF, cuz its just better...plain and simple.

And to the one guy that mentioned the old SWG...well ya it WAS skill based...not anymore... Earthrise is going to take that idea and actually run with it and not have to worry about some crappy NGE so called enhancement.

Sure they dont have alot to show right now...but they arent jerking our chains and they are keeping us updated every step of the way.

Well I really don't see you point here. Your arguments are very poor. You might not see some similarity with other games, but we do. We don't say that it's bad or sucks. We acctually are open minded and wish that this game will come out.

 * 2001Graphics, Ok here you failed.

* Conventions - Darkfall devs have been on convantions.

* Publishers - They have publishers that are willing to publish their game.

* Nothing compared to DF/SWG - If you are in such denial I guess nothing can change you opinion.

* Your statement against others post are just trolling.

Here you have Tasos (DF Dev) at one gameconvention

The whole system is exactly like EVE (without spaceships and such)

EVE= No levels, just skills--- There are four races, ancestry lines, and jobs that set up your attributes differently...  but don't effect anything else (all skills are learnable)

           PVP in "high security" areas-> Police come and take you out for killing other players..

 

I personally enjoy this system much more than cookie-cutter mmo's. I'll have to follow this one!

 

No matter how hard I try not to go down the path, all I think about when I read about this game is Darkfall. (with a SCI-FI twist).  Well, nice to see at least two companies are working on skill based games, one day we may actually get to play a new one.

 

 

You also need to take a look at W.E.L.L. online too! That one is also skill based! Here's the link www.Wellonline.com

Sigh.  It sounded really promising... right up to the point where it said open PvP. 

I have never played any game (including EVE Online) where open PvP works.  Every single time, it devolves into gank squads (maybe fun) and gankees (definitely not fun) unless you join one of the big PvP guilds.  Why do devs insist on open PvP in far too many games? 

I guess this is another mostly promising game I won't be playing.

looks like another dev teams has balls like aventurine (darkfalls dev team) hopefully atleast one of them comes out and is good

Nice to hear the things I expect to find in a MMO.

I'll be following this one closely.  I really hope they can pull it off.

I don't want them to rush to get it done and out and have it be horrible.

A good game is worth waiting for .

It's ok, Wilcoxon, you already know about Fallen Earth.
