On a scale of 1-10, wouldn't a 5.0 be average? A 6.9 is to the right of 5.0 and was graded a "Mediocre". If you are going to allow independent reviews and advertise them on your front page, some form of uniformity is required. Do you accept individual reviews of this website?

Review was fair .. score a bit off.

And one thing:

"I am running AoC with Windows Vista Ultimate on a Dual Core E6750 @2.66, Dual ATI Radeon HD 3850, 2 Gig Corsair RAM and cable modem."

Your system has not the Minimum Hardware Requirements for Vista:

When does that matter in a MMORPG.com review?

 So the reviewer enjoys the game until he experiences lag, and then gives it a mediocre score? Reviews like this one is why I continue to rely on reviews from other sites instead of MMORPG.com. Every MMO reviewer should have to post in their first paragraph, MMO experience, age, education level, PC and internet specs, time spent playing and current MMO which they play.

I really hope that Mythic wont drag Bioware down with them.

You mean EA dragging Bioware down like it did with Mythic?

I think its a great move by EA. Mark Jacobs has lost his vision that made DAoC a success. Hopefully with new management team, they can direct EA Mythic to make RvR fun again.

It is not the first. Planetside has been here for a while.

Its not a full blown MMO, but there is a MOD in the works using the Crysis engine.  http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/

Ah...so I see, you're saying Aventurine is a lot like Blizzard, taking the best features of previous games and improving on them.  I see the coralation.

 

So that makes DFO a WoW clone!

Warhammer 40k Online thats being made by Vigil Games is very dark and Gothic.

Even tho these are from a different 40k PC game you can get the feel of the 40k Universe.

And yes, Warhammer 40k was out before Starcraft.

you loose endurance when you jump, and endurance you need to attack.. so bunny hopping is /death :P

Thats just slapping a different skin on a game. Look at all the different Half Life 2 mods. Its like Hyaundai saying we didn't invent the first auto, but we are the first to have light aquamarine blue as a color.

How will they prevent people from using Macros to lvl up skills?

Is there some kind of "endurance or energy" system to lose it while jumping or will the game be all about "bunny hopping"  while swinging that spiked spatula looking weapon that everyone is using in the video.

Followed the FAQ and was sent in.

Why is it that games like All Points Bulletin and Lego Universe get forums on the "Games in Development" and Warhammer 40k which is being done by Vigil games does not?

I have sent in numerous requests to MMORPG.COM and have seen no responses in my email as promised.

Didn't LOTRO and then WAR already do this?

2 of the 3 healing classes on each side have to do damage to get the most out of their healing.

Knowing Blizzard and the announcement of a 40k MMO, they will rush out a Starcraft MMO so everyone will say that 40k copied Starcraft.

WRONG,  already done by Mythic in DAOC in Darkness Falls. Yet another copied feature Blizzard uses and people think it is their idea.

hehe, the sky will be falling for other mmo's cause the only mmo to be leunched in the past 5 years to make it past 2 years is Vanguard. LotrO will be the first game in 5's to actually produce an expansion other then WoW.  So this is a great milestone of the mmo industry , that you can be successful , without having to hold 10million players hands through 50 levels !

With MoM we will slowly feel  the the chaotic portions of the trilogy, and it will be that dynamic that sets us up for the rest of the game. Evewrything up till now has had a controlled feel, even though there is a lot of great content in Angmar, it just doesn't you near that brink of "omg we are all going to die"  and with MoM we will slowly feel the darkness creep into our souls and the fear of the Dark Lord  be prominent in our journey !

and this calls for a .....

Wrong, EQ2 has released numerous expansions.

7 mil Gold Sellers can't be wrong!
