Darkfall Set For Launch

Darkfall, a PvP-oriented MMORPG that was first announced in 2001, is finally in the process of going live. After dealing with some launch-day bugs, the Darkfall team reports that servers are going up, and they're processing pre-orders to get players in the game. MMOCrunch has an in-depth write-up from the end of the beta, saying that the game is still "rough around the edges," but also that the team has created a "solid framework of an MMO that offers a unique experience that the genre has not seen in quite some time." Ten Ton Hammer had a similar reaction, tempering criticism with praise for the lack of hand-holding.

It sounds like a review of Ultima Online. Apparently you can do *anything*, and on the internet that generally reduces to "be a prick".

Their main customer base is going to be the people upset that WoW pvp isn't hardcore enough, so I think you can replace "generally" with "always" in this case.

According to the Ten Ton Hammer preview, this game features rampant kill stealing and quite possibly the worst community of any MMO, ever.

I hate to say this, but a lot of people like drama.

And not the BBC kind... The one with women in too much makeup with orange skin arguing over inane shit in Los Angles kind.

Its what America needs.
