    One thing to keep in mind.  I don't think that I am alone in this belief when I say that many MMORPG'ers feel like they are part of a community.  The MMORPG community is still very young.  It's not exaggerating to say that as a community of folks that share a common interest, MMORPG'ers are less than a decade old (not talking about MUDs here).

    Keeping that in mind, when a developer releases a game in our beloved genre that is so poorly executed that it is insulting to over 90% of the members of that community, it should be expected that we will vehemently make posts in gaming forums against it.  Not just because DnL is a poorly made game with zero customer support, but because it is unacceptable by even the lowest standards of the MMORPG industry.  We are outraged as a community.  Warning off other potential customers to not throw money at a developer who does not deserve it.

    Funniest part is, people who now votes all 1 are the same people that voted 10 on all years ago and over-hyped Dnl.

    I think it is several factors that have pushed people "over the edge" on DnL.

    First, it had similar promisses of the PvP mode that Shadowbane made.  Shadowbane (as you know) suffered from massive technical issues that drove people away.  During that time, people have wanted a replacement that worked, and DnL held out that promise.  Since DnL also has technical issues, it's getting frustrating that players cannot get a good PvP MMO developed.  It also leads other developers to believe nobody wants a pure PvP game because of the faliures, and possibly ignoring that the failure was because of the mechanics, not the desire of PvP.

    The other problem is that I think players are growing tired of incomplete games at launch.  I certainly am.

    Finally, I think when you charge as much as the do, and take four-five years of development time, the game should be polished, and it clearly is not polished.  Thus, it makes it hard to believe that a patch here or a patch there and suddenly the game will be materially better in the next month or two.

    I just has the look and feel that they knew the game wasn't done, they couldn't get it done, so they decided to release the game, make some money rather than just writing off the game as a bad five year investment.  I hope I'm wrong, but you do have to wonder.

    Six months from now, I hope to come back and take a second look at what the current players are saying.  Perhaps we will all be surprised and see the game working well, and we can then re-subscribe.  I simply can't support a game that I think cannot improve quickly enough to make it satisfying.

    Well... sorry, I thought it would be obvious...


    yeh, you would think.......


    Unbelivable ... what i "signed" was exactly those words:

    It is funny and I think the ppl who keep baching the game need help, they have serious issues.
    I mean if the game sucks you tell that other trough the forums, that is cool, you tell that many times, it's allright. But keep flaming something what you haven't played or left months ago is just sick

    And about lying part ? what did I ever lie about ?

    Ik I explained it you. Since you agreed with a well known flamer of hatebois and a well known spouter of the lies that Farlan has and is trying to cover up this mess of a game with, you were included in the post. SImple. Not hard to understand how someone would include you by you signing the post the well known Angel made. Nothing to be upset about nor make an issue of.
