Darkfall seems to have most of the elements of [old]
Uo but in an updated 3d client.
For most newer players the free for all and looting will be loved or hated. The capacity to grief in a FFA game with looting is immense.
Having said all that pre-trammel
UO wasnt completley filled with idiots - there were plenty of role play communities and player run towns and helpful players etc etc
Back before
UO became an item based game we could fight the pks and win. We did it plenty of times as well after the itemzz.
Its goign to be interesting is all I can say and the facts like raising skills rather than levelling already makes it worth a look in my book.
