    Agreed, darkfall looks terrible. I cringed when i saw the "wizard" use some knockback spell in the gameplay video. If you are going to release a gameplay video, at least do so when you have polished the animations to a respectable state.

     

    In all honesty we saw great graphics with AoC yet it has some of the worst gameplay I have experienced out of this generation or the last 2 generations of games hitting the market. (I am a mmo whore, and buy almost every one just to try it the first month).

    I would rather have dull turned down graphics with extremely good mechanics.

     

    None the less getting back on topic though I do believe they could recoup losses by selling a box with f2p. They would have to close servers to save bandwidth, but that shouldn't be that difficult with the player base. Along with the talk of an expansion in early 2009. They could give the expansion away for free then charge people a monthly subscription to play it, and those who don't since the game would still be so new could continue to play for free.

    I think it is a possibility, but who knows till their next stock holders meeting.

• • AoC moving to F2P model?

  • Just wondering with the recent shift within funcom if AoC will shift their game to F2P in order to attract more people, and sell more boxes. Then have a pay to play method that would involve something more. I know the abandon ship for all hope is lost has been rung a lot, but I am just interested with this shift in direction.

    The classes and cities that were left out were unfinished/broken. So if they had included them at launch would you have given the game a 3-4 for not being polished?

     

    They should of actually spent time on the and dedicated a team to the completion of the game. As it stands it just goes to show that MMo companys can get away with releasing unfinished games and have people pay money to beta them.

  • Its an average game. Would of prefered 40k, but instead it is this WoW duplicate. Not a bad game, but also not ground breaking. Upsetting they were unable to release everything at launch, but thats how it is.

BTW i think its rigged i logged in everyday with a max of 4 tickets, yet i dont believe it greatly increased my channces of winning! 17k+ peeps singed up for the contest, they gave away 500 keys. So there was a 1 and 35 chance of winning right? I should just give up on these! I am a loser!

     

    It is better than winning and then never recieving what ya won. That has happened to me here before.
