When Darkfall releases I highly doubt it will be a niche game. There are A LOT (yes, A LOT LOT) of people that are sick and tired of the usual "12345, eat chip, 12345, watch character do the work" combat and playstyle.. Darkfall is a sandbox MMORPG, which means that it is the ONLY current/next-gen fantasy sandbox MMORPG. The 7 years of developement is a long time... and they have been polishing the game for a long while now and are expecting beta/release or something (dont take my word for it, its theirs) sometime this year.

I respect the out-of-box ideas, relative to the current situation... but seriously, what is 'out-of-box'? Is it letting you build a city, because that is SO UNIQUE right? Is it full loot? Is it letting you do a backflip? A cool dance move?

No, thats not it.

Or is it creating not an elf, but a Spider-Monkey-Tree-Tiger that can shoot T-Rexes and Books out of its claws and eyeballs? And you can fly at will without level restrictions. You can build a city with talking buildings that move around whenever they want, even while you are in them. Or you can play music (like LOTRO) with crazy instruments like drums made from lava.

Where is the creativity? Its no where. No one is being creative... Even the 'creative' developers like 'Darkfall' is not THAT creative. I mean, hasn't EVERY SINGLE mmorpg player been thinking of a game that has full loot/large world/pvp/real-time combat? Yes, they have.

Has everyone thought of a Squirrel-Demon-Ant ? No. Give me an MMORPG with the character creation of Spore, the features a kindergarden student would think of, and the environment of the WoW+Everquest on steroids and LSD with AoC graphics. Also the dungeon-style of DDO (traps, actual interesting things, singleplayer-like boss battles, jumping mechanics) You can open a library up, make a picture book, or write a novel. You can lay eggs (no matter what type of thing you are) and have them spawn other characters that will help you in battle or stuff. You can craft armor that only fits creatures similar to yours, and trick them out with cool graphics and magical weaponry, like creating a shield of Egyptian Pharoahs 360 degrees around you.

Who wouldn't play that game? You know you would.. because how can you be bored of that? Unless you are a pathetic business man who doesn't take any interest in anything but numbers and graphs.. because thats all the modern MMO's are these days. And to all those who think that would make an 'immature' type game:

Take a break from what you are doing, and ask yourself, are you really having fun? Can you seriously say that pressing 12345 12345 12345 is FUN? What about jumping around, ducking, and inevitably jumping around your chair as you dodge on coming horses made of silk flying out of a Volcano-Hippo's mouth? I dont know about you, but that sounds fun.. and if it doesn't, then go reread "The Story of the Rising Chart" and have an orgasm in Chapter 11 where THE NUMBERS NEAR REACH ZERO, but make an OUTSTANDING comeback when they release the iPod... OH EM GEE.

Sounds like a great acid trip. You sir are an intelligent gamer.

Installed and played a bit, but the update actually made things worse for me.

I now lag even on minimum settings, whereas I WAS playing on balanced just fine.

Needless to say, I uninstalled. ><

Even though I got an email saying that my account was activated, I checked all of my SOE accounts and none of them have a Vanguard sub. Weird. :|

Very informative post, I hope it helps a lot of people.

I think that Aion will be a lot better than people expect it to be, and if it is, then it'll certainly, "make it".

I'd like to see the screenshots, as proof.

DOMO (Dream of Mirror Online). It has the best graphics of any English anime game I know.

Unless you play, like, WAY hardcore, then I wouldn't bother with it.

Personally I believed that the game was amazing, unfortunately I don't have the time to devote to leveling in the game.

I won't be playing because it looks like just another grindfest with boring combat. :/

Hi guys, I'm wondering if  someone knows an mmorpg settled in samurai age in japan. There are a lot of mmorpg about chinese history, martial arts and so on, but cannot find any about samurai. Or at least mmorpg where there is the samurai class (like FFXI).
And another question outside that: is EVE online still the only mmorpg with such kind of exp system (passive?)?
Thank you all

I don't know of any

 

How do you feel you have contributed to this thread? He asked for people who know, not for people who don't know.

And I assume that you feel as though you've contributed? Hypocrite.

No, but I think it would be a grand addition to the mmo world. :p
