The only way to compare games, is to know them. And the only way to know them is to have played them. So will someone who has played the WAR beta and the Darkfall beta please enlighten us. Please I bet you.
Why you want that?
Compare WAR with darkfall is same as black and white there 2 complete different games.
You eather intrested in darkfall or WAR it can't be both.
Register at forum and focus on darkfall if you want a free for all full loot pvp game thats 100% sandbox.
Or do same with WAR a themepark with carebear casual pvp.
You offcorse are free to follow both games dont get me wrong, but i can't imagine how someone wanne play a sandbox game with harsh open pvp and at same time a carebear game?
Games played:AC1-Darktide'99-2000-AC2-Darktide/dawnsong2003-2005,Lineage2-2005-2006 and now Darkfall-2009..... In between WoW few months AoC few months and some f2p also all very short few weeks.

Again why cant he/she be interested in both?
I am interested in not only WAR and darkfall but also TCoS,I wont play all 3 but I will for sure try all 3 and make my choice,maybe for the 1st time I will sub to 2 mmo's.
If someone had came up to me in 1980 when I was on my Atari 2600 and said we will be playing games with thousands of people at the same time.I guess my response would have been,"but I only have 2 joysticks"
But it's just a video, and no one credible has ever played the actual game called Darkfall. Anyone can make a video.
Whereas thousands of beta testers have played Warhammer. Some like it, some don't, but it's not just a video.
You can only LOOK at videos, you can't actually play them like a game.
You could say the same thing about WAR 6-months ago. So whats your point?
Wow, the DF trolls came late but they hit hard I see. Um, people were playing WAR 6 months ago. There was tons of videos of people playing 6 months ago. You have NO idea what you are talking about.
Next, I don't understand how you, rikilli, cannot see that FFA PvP doesn't work. IN FPS you have the same tools, like that guy said, so its fair. In an MMO, one guy has 100 Magic casting lets say and you have 55 Magic casting. Skill is not involved, his spells probably do 10X more damage than yours and you will die in 1 shot. Like mentioned, 99% of the time you aren't going to run into someone that is on an equal playing field as you, ESPECIALLY not in a FFA PvP because its filled with griefers that max out their skills and find anyone to kill, doesn't matter who. That doesn't make a game fun, especially with open looting...
Someone mentioned AoC sold lots of copies, so there must be a demand, right? Apparently not, as less than 25k people are playing now, I think its like 15k? Not sure on that but its very low, just a few months later and no new game came out yet to get them to leave, they just realized it sucks.
Final thing, filling your site with a list of features that is just impossible to implement them all from a small indie company is also called HYPE. I'm so tired of hearing Darkfall isn't being hyped, that its not Adventurines style. I've also heard people say they are not all flashy and don't show you everything up front. Yes, why would a company show you all their features and how the crafting works, and this crop harvesting and advanced crafting system, etc? That's a crazy idea, right? Keep thinking so people, just don't come here flooding these forums with hate like the AoC people after they rip you off with a 79.99 collections edition.
