it's laggy and buggy....but for some reason I like it.
It's not worth 54 bucks if you don't have money that's for sure, but I love the graphics and the style of it. I have 2 gigs of dual channel ram and a radeon x800 pro 256mb card and its laggy as hell but looks freaking amazing. I'll play it for a while. No monthly fee if you don't want so for us die hards it will be worth it to buy, but only if you have some spare cash and boredom.
P.S. looks great if you have an awesome computer, not if not. Love the lighting.

At first because of the user rating, I thought not.
But now, yeah, he definately must be.
Wth are you talking about? Show me this thread you're talking about, I've never advertised DNL, you're on crack. I just tried the game out of boredom, it's laggy and buggy and I've played about 4 hours today and It's not bad.
Here's a screen I took abit ago. The graphics are really nice just wish it wasn't so laggy.
EDIT: Crappy Paint Jpegs don't do it justice.
I miss DAoC
yeah this guy has GOT to be getting paid.
If you actually played the game, and i use the term played loosely, you couldn't in any way come to his conclusions.
First of all, the camera work is so crappy that you feel sea sick after a few mins. Nevermind that the character models are garbage.
ok i'll say it again in caps:
IF YOU IDIOTS CONTINUE TO GIVE THESE COMPANIES MONEY FOR SHIT, THEY WILL CONTINUE TOO FEED YOU SHIT. JUST SAY NO!!!
So he is a sadist who wants to make someone waste money on an unplayable pile of garbage?
Either way it is bad
Come on it's a game...not a religion. And Jesus is busy, he doesn't have time for saving games developped by patent liars.
In short: you bought some crap, and in 6 months, it will still be crap.
I have always a good laugh when i saw those theories about ppl who like it must be paid by Farlan.
Yep and all hatebois gets paid from competition.
Camera work is great, however character models & some mobs should get polished. ( equip is OK but faces are crapy )
Terrain/buidlings/objects textures are also great.

In generaly game still have sirious fps issues (if you have low or medium rig ), however in last pacth clinet stability is great and server is working perfectly. ( no crashes and constant restarts )
I would not suggest DnL to anyone that expect polished game ( as most MMO's should be in 2006 ), but if you are looking for unique expirance and font mind several bugs than is worth it.
p.s. This post will get flamed a lot, "hatebois" does not like any kind of positive oppinion here.

I can vouch for anarchyart. He's a consistent forum poster all over mmorpg. My experience involving him comes with the SWG forum (he plays devils advocate there from time to time). He likes to try things out and often posts what he thinks and his impressions with little fear of the backlash.
However, he isnt a plant. If he were a plant, SOE would have had his soul long before this miserable excuse of a game company did. I think he just commented on the graphics and mentioned the horrible lag. A few posts from now - he may work his way to a review of the gameplay.
As to why I am here, I am a fan of watching slow motion train wrecks - habit I developed from being a part of the great CU SWG crash that took my toons life. Dark and Light's sins are as egregious. The lies, broken promises and deception of its fanbase should be pointed out to discourage any future mmorpg company wannabes from heading down this sorry track. Quite looking forward to MMORPG's review. I am hoping they add some bite to it for when not only the public but also the media hold companies accountable - perhap the state of the industry will improve.

You know what I see in those screen shots? I see lots and lots of jagged edges. These screens would have been "great" in 1998/99, but in the year 2006, they go from "alright" to "downright crappy".
The style is a matter of taste, there is no reason discussing if you like it or not. It's ok, but I have seen much better. The only other game with big landscaped, SWG, looks far better. The textures, the detail, all is much sharper and cleaner. Some areas, like the Dark Elf starter area, look really bad. Looking at all these muddy grey tones is really ugly. Building and monster textures and also not of an A titles, nor are the ciumsy animations.
What really sux, IMO, is the camera. I tilts around, the movement is extremely cumbersome and reponds very inprecise. The combat sometimes reacts, sometimes for no reason my character just stands there and does nothing, click attack as I want.
Yeah, some places are nice to look at, but many, many look so empty and sub par to anything out there. Screenshots are really not very enlightning. When I saw WOW screenshots I hated the look, but it looks MUCH better in real, and alas I must say for DnL is quite the opposite. Even in sparsley play populated areas I need lowest settings, and even then it's the mega lag. This is a goddamn beta quality or I'd be cursed!
People don't ask questions to get answers - they ask questions to show how smart they are. - Dogbert
But there was an interesting thread on the official forum where someone posted a myriad of screenshots from an exploration journey they had... they were awful (the poster thought they were amazing)
the game showcased its completely barren landscape dotted with the occasional empty structure.
Thats just depressing.

I hate the camera too, it should be fixed right to your character, instead, it's loosely rubber banded to your character which makes the lage even worse. Make the camera like other games where it doesn't slide around, it's attached firmly to your character.
As far as me getting paid, get a grip. I didn't in any way recommend the game, what part of laggy and buggy don't you understand? However, the camera doesn't make me feel sea sick at all, just annoyed. Maybe you shouldn't play 3d games period if it makes you sea sick.
Character models need work too for sure.

The game needs LOTS of work but it's far from unplayable. I didn't recommend the game but you guys need to do a tad bit of growing up and realize that not everyone will have the same tastes and that you develop a bit of patience when you grow past 14 in years.
You hatebois think if anyone doesn't piss all over a game you hate they must be getting paid. That's just retarded, period.
