| Saw quite a lot of recently excited people talking about this, and a 6 part gameplay trailer on youtube. They certainly have spent long enough working on this game, I can only imagine it's based on an engine that must be 5 or 6 years old.

| Meh. People mistake UO's free for all pvp as the big reason for its popularity. Fel has been deserted for over 2/3rds of UO's life. What makes UO so great is, as well as the ksill system, the freedom. The ability to arrange our own wars, to customise clothing, to go into woods with a hatchet and saw and build forts out of boxes. The ability to place items on the ground. It's a world, not a 'game'. Simply letting people kill each other willy-nilly was never the point of UO. Shadowbane lets people do that, and it never took off. | ||||||||

| My main concern is the community. From what I've seen of it it seems to be mainly arseholes ejaculating at the thought of ffa pvp and being able to loot. For years they've been citing Darkfall as being the next big game despite the ludicrous development time. It might well prove good, but I'm dubious. Even if it does prove good and bug-free, I'm not enthused about the community. | ||||||||

| 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.
