They couldn't have bought vanguard instead? That game deserves a second life more than this scam (yeah, they got me for 50 bucks). Or E&B, if we are bringing old games back from the grave.

They are just using the Dark and light name. The game uses nothing from the original game.
As to why the negativity, anyone asking such a foolish question has no clue who Snail games are. King of the pay-to-win genre is about the best way to describe them.
It is ludicrous to think this might be a good game when you consider the publisher.
Lol very brave to expect the Dark and Light name holds a positive reputation.
Snail Games is not that bad for pay to win. Their only released titles are Age of Wushu and Black Gold which were good games and a fair cash shop.

There's talk, from their base, that they may very well do B2P with cosmetics.

Well now isn't this a bit of unexpected. The trailer tells us exactly nothing so nothing to do but wait&see... the original was at least hugely ambitious even if it did end up failing massively. Wonder if there'll be anything interesting in this version... I'm doubtful as these days real creativity and ambition are so lacking in so-called MMO's.
Would like some more info on the game such as.
Hows questing, same boring quest hubs?
Hows the crafting is it deep or shallow and pointless?
What are the PvP rules, flagging, full PvP or full loot PvP?
Is there any housing/fort building and faction warfare and or GvG.
Is it levelbased, skillbased, stat based?

"Launching as subscription B2P ? Pffft, it will go F2P in 6 months, mark my words !"
Seems there was some integrity from whomever pulled out that score back in the day.
I have always wondered though how people justify giving bad scores to AMBITIOUS games with bugs but give great scores to non ambitious games that pretty much do nothing and offer little.
Here you go sir a fully working Tricycle for $30k,no kinks,no bugs,everything works perfect !!!
Ok sir here is your Mercedes for 30k,a few bugs,kinks a few problems but i am sure you can fix it for another 10k.
Umm no thanks i rather have that luxurious Tricycle because it has no problems....../not !!!.
Thing is a dud is a dud and likely always remains a dud.A game with great potential has at least that going for it...potential whilst the tricycle will always remain a cheap over priced Tricycle.Yes i used EXTREMES but to me i see exactly that in games,some games are soooo bad,like a Tricycle yet trying to sell their product like a Mercedes.
Point??I feel Dark n Light does have potential but being there several years ago,i find it tough to trust this game no matter who is behind the wheel.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Not excited I'm sick of it every time the same HYPE FAIL HYPE FAIL....
People do this to themselves. No idea how they get through life.
People or is it the media...advertising sites that create the hype?Yes it is the people who fall for it but i doubt many hype up more than a few games,bandwagon hopping,now yes i see a lot of that.

People. Advertising has been around for hundreds of years. and "yes" I get that a few times people are going to get excited for things but one should learn as one goes along that not everything might be as it seems.
People eventually need to start taking responsibility for themselves and stop blaming external factors. One has to learn at some point. And if one can't do that then that's a problem.

From what I've read, it's a totally different game, they just kept the name. Let's wait and see... I'm willing to give a chance to any developer who wants to attempt making a sandbox MMO. Let's just hope that if they succeed on that part, they won't fall in the other usual traps, like forced PvP everywhere which turns those games into gankfests.
This effectively summarizes my feeling toward this game. I actually saw the backlash the game received back in 2006 which lead me to never try it. As I hear it is entirely different I am always willing to give any MMO a chance. Time will tell as always.

According the a VP at Snail that isn't "completely" true ...
"Dark and Light will still be using the same world view from the original
game, including the design of structures and monsters (other than
converting to Unreal Engine 4 since last year)."
I already paid for DnL 10 years ago, I still have the email receipt in archive, lol
I wonder if Snail will honor the purchase ?
I'll say it again, your purchase just like mine has nothing to do with snail games, take it up with Farland.
As for this game, all it shares with the original is the size of the world and the concept. The actual lore and classes plus cities/towns have all changed, it's been totally rewritten.
Again take your issues up with Farland if you really need to after all these years. We all get burned by mmos over the years, it's standard.

This game is NOT the old game....obviously. I tested it then and this is not that. Try talking about something you know about.
