Yeah but it's Funcom, add a year to that date for teh game to be actually playable.  Contrary to game developper like Blizzard or Arenanet, they lauch their games when they are ready, Funcom launch theirs when they ran out of cash.

From what i read, DOTA is an acronym for a fan developped mod used in Warcraft III.  It's not an actual  Blizzard property.  Blizzard is sueing just for the fact that this acronym has been used in association with the Warcraft name.   I'm no lawyer but i think Blizzard position is weak, Valve might have a chance.  Sueing someone just because he want to use an 3rd party acronym of something that's not even yours in the first place (community mod).... i really dont know what to think.

Why i'm i not surprised here ?  Only things we hear about that game are stuff like that.  Now this is a new one, if you pay for multi-month subs with a credit card due to expire within the period, they'll cancel your sub...    It's not that they did'nt get paid, they got their money for the 3 months, it's just that in their database the CC is no longer vaild (probably reached the exp. date) and instead of leaving the sub carry on for what he paid for, they turn it off.   This is pure thievery.

man i'm looking at this picture and if you remove the UI it's World of Warcraft.  Do i want to play YET another WOW clone ?  Hell NO.

Xplay review is up, it got 2.5 out of 5....

I have the same problem with this game that i have with the whole Fable series.  The world is just too shiny.  Everything has a glow to it, it's just plain annoying.  Did they have to make all the flowers shine ?   Too much bloom to my taste.

Well i tought mount were animals, now if you include ships, i guess my top pick would be the Yalmaha from Anarchy Online.

I played the demo and find it average at best.  I find graphics to be too shinny for my taste, everything has that glowing look in the world, it's just too much.   Gameplay wise it's very similar to Fable with some Dragon Age mix in it.

Do they still force you to do random to get the reward ?  I was sick at certain level to keep poping in the same dungeons over and over and over again.

Two World 2 voice over is bad, real bad but dont let that turn you away from the game.  It's a great game, i really enjoyed it.

I just saw the screenshots and moved away since i'm not a 6 years old little girl.

Diablo as been delayed again, 1st quarter of 2012 is now highly unlikely, they also cancelled Blizzcon 2012.

1-20 is fun (Tortage) after that, well ... you'll see, but there is a huge let down after the newbie area.

Graphics are 2nd by far, gameplay is always first.  If graphics was 1st, minecraft would not be so popular right ?  We all agree  on one thing, we are sick and tired of WOW clone.   In my book the best old school MMO's (by that i mean launched before WOW) are Asheron's Call and Anarchy Online, both launched in 1999 and 2002.  I wish developpers could create MMO based on these games and leave WOW alone.

I'll add another archetype, the "thread jacker".  Do i need to say what this guy do ?   It's pretty much annoying  only to the original poster.

Well the factions system is flawed.   Having a pie wheel split in 6 factions, that's just asking for problems.  I remember when i was playing, you constantly had to watch which factions you were killing or you'll endup gaining on your ennemy and losing on your friendly factions.  And being allied and friend to 3 of the 6 while being enemy for the other 3, talk about confusing. 

Trolls and Fanboys have their places on a discussion forum.  I would add another category, called "spammers".  The spammers have NO places on a forum.   What is a spammer ?  Well it can be a troll or a fanboy.  It's basicly someone with no point of view and  no arguments, posting just to post, making a useless thread like the following examples :

A  fanboy spammer  :

-Man this game ROCKS, get it, get it.

A troll spammer ::

-THIS GAME SUCKS !!  it Sucks !

Both these examples show a typical spammer post, posting is point of view without any meaningful content or reasons to make it's point.   That's spamming in my book.

When it comes to trolls and fanboys, they are welcome to post as long as they add meat (reasons) why they love or hate a game.

That's very nice.  This game should be like Minecraft, buy and play.   I'd like to be able to play a game like this, but i'm not paying a monthly fee for it. 

I'm not playing, will probably never do.  But i'm reading MMORPG forum and so far all the patches in that game  have resulted in more bugs and downtime then before.  Each patch breaks more things then fixes.  Devs can keep promising stuff, so far they only deliver broken stuff each and every time.
