• • Would you purchase DarkFall without an Open Beta/Free Trial?

  • I would have to say I would try it regardless. I wont recommend it or add it to our list for my Guild unless I play it first, but whatever

    Darkfall
• • First and final impressions

  • I guess it's just how I feel about it. I can't say it's a horrible game and no one will play it. It's just not for me.

    I have played a few games in my past.

    I have tested quite a few too that I never ended up playing. Like I said, I have over 900 hours or so in the game. I have played on four different servers just to see if it was my server. The last server I played was Dark Crag.

    Of course UO is my favorite of all games as it was my first. Every MMO I have played I have compared them to UO. SWG was decent but lacked PvP. WoW was decent and kept me for about a year or so and CoH was decent but it got boring after about 6 months. I played UO for 5 years off and on and if it had graphics like AoC and didn't add Trammel, I would still be playing it.

    I guess this is why Darkfall is my hope of all hopes for MMOs. Maybe I am just growing away from gaming or maybe my expectations are just too high.

    WAR (Warhammer Online)
• • First and final impressions

  • I have been playing WAR for a little bit now. I was one of the beta testers, elder testers, and so on.

    Before any of you say 'play the game to end game' realize that I have as far as levels. I am level 40/42 on one server and I have played a few classes to 24 or so.

    The game is lacking the social aspects you would expect in an MMORPG. To be quite hoenst, I see a lot of the games lately that lack the RPG portion and with this game, you get the feel of a lack of MMO as well. So I would consider it a MO.- Multi-player Online and that's about it.

    The World is dead, the cities are dead, and there is basically nothing to do but BGs or in this game they call them Scenarios. An instanced form of PvP where you can level and enjoy BG style PvP taken from WoW.

    I believe that the World PvP would be great, if there was anyone around to fight, but there just isn't. I think there's a lot of greatness in the World PvP but the scenarios have taken away once again from World PvP leaving this game to emulate WoW. Dead Worlds that seem like a waste of time creating. It would've been better just to make it like Fury and have people battle in instances and that is it because that is all people are doing.

    I miss the days of UO and I miss the days that the game made you dependent on crafting classes and other people in order to survive. In UO you were able to solo and you could definitely explore the World around, but you often times got ganked and this is what this game is missing. And yes- I chose a PvP Server to play on so it was possible.

    The game just lacks the essence of MMORPG IMO and I look forward to games of the future bringing back the feel of a persistent World that was fun to be a part of.

    People have /whined over the years for quick fast paced combat and they have received it. I just wish they would've stuck with console games and left our genre alone.

    Darkfall seems to be the last effort to what a game should be like and hopefully it delivers. I look forward to SW:TOR as well, but I fear the creation of classes instead of a skill game will leave us with another form of WoW with a twist leaving out the entire reason to even play MMORPG's = people.

    This is just my opinion and I am sure others love this game. I enjoyed it for a bit. I have logged in about 900 hours total with Beta and post release so I am not a n00b when it comes to WAR. It just lacks.

• • Star Wars Galaxies: The First Rule of Star Wars Galaxies PvP

  • I didn't last long on this game and I am a huge SW fan.

    I am still waiting for KOTOR online, but I will NEVER go back to SWG, even if they paid me $15 a month to play it. It just lacks. Id go into detial, but does it really matter?
