EvE or Darkfall

Sid_Vicious

Depends on the following:

 

Would you rather play a spaceship (EVE) or a person (Darkfall)?

Both games have steep learning curves . .. so would you rather study a manual on how to fly and fight with your ship (EVE) or practice on your bunny-hopping twich skills similar to games like Quake (Darkfall)?

Would you rather auto-target using tactics of the wits and watch your ship fight (EVE) or would you rather be the one who aims and dodges or uses environment for tactical advantages (Darkfall)?

 

Both games have full-loot FFA PVP with consequences.

Both games do not have god-mode and player-skill is one of the main factors.

Both games allow players to build empires and create their own safe zones.

Both games are incredibly guild-based, so the more friends that you have will mean the more success you will have as long as you can work together well.

Both games take a couple months just to get started.

Both games are the polar opposite of WoW.

Both games are sandboxes so you will be a part of History that will not repeat the same way ever again and everything that you do in the long run effects the entire game since there are no instances and one character per account.

 

I prefer Darkfall at the moment because I am more at the edge of my seat since the combat seems to be faster-paced and depend a lot on twich skills. It has stayed the same, population-wise, for about a year and we are expecting a population boom when the next expansion comes out (new graphics, animations, models, directX11 support, prestige classes, environmental sounds to enhance immersion). Nobody knows when the expansion will be out . .. most are expecting sometime around May but its hard to tell as it is already late. I think that the PVE is a lot funner in Darkfall too because the mobs act like real people in a lot of ways that top most MMORPGs when it comes to AI (which is probably 10 times better than it was 2 years ago).
