WOW was another EQ with better graphics and how did that work out?
...Oh yea it sold MILLIONS!!!

Personally I'm very Biased to Aion. Been following it loosely since 2006 and more closely this year.
Its really a bit of a joke that people would compare Darkfall with Aion. Game differences and promises aside.
Its like comparing Duke Nukem Forever with Call of Duty 4.
Sadly there are no other really big games on the horizon other than Aion. I don't really take Darkfall seriously.
Graphics is not everything. But it does count for a significant amount of the experience.
That said, I believe someone above made the perfect point. While Aion may be Similar to L2, WoW was similar to EQ. Hopefully Aion can mimic the success of WoW and cater to the L2 market as well as the general western market.
Have to vote Darkfall. Darkfall is the One MMORPG to Rule them all, and in the Darkness Bind Them!
Aion is just another Asian grinder.
have find grinding in darkfall too :P
btw i havent had to grind at all in AION OB (as in only grinding not quest grinding) but i guarentee that you will have some amount of grinding in darkfall as in every game. it just depends if its all coverd by quests or just simply thats all you can do to lvl.
That said i dont know a single person whos tested darkfall, has there even been a test?? lol
but these types of arguments are rather pointless, as i doubt anyone has played both to be able to make a comparison.
Aion looks like it might be released this century.
Don't be terrorized! You're more likely to die of a car accident, drowning, fire, or murder! More people die every year from prescription drugs than terrorism LOL!

Sorry to disappoint you, but no leveling in Darkfall. You get your "skills" up when using them (but they decrease if you stop using them) meaning you don't have to grind but can also "skill up" when PvPing, PvEing, Sparring with your friends or do whatever you want. Sure, you CAN grind, but there's no special motivation (no random drops; what you see is what you get) to do so. Also, even mobs of the same type differ (skilllevel, equipment, etc) so the traditional repeating won't exist even if you choose to "grind" (whihc, of course, you don't have to).
I have been waiting for AION for years so you know what I am voting. Regardless of what the AION haters say the game is good. Everybody that has played the game loves it. All I have seen from Darkfall is just some crappy Videos that show nonthing but a ugly Hack and Slash single player looking game. I have no intrest at all in Darkfall.
How can you ask other people to vote on your poll when you do not, imo this is a pointless poll until both games hit the streets if they infact do at all...!
First of all... how could you have known whether if I voted on my own poll?
Second of all, I did vote.
Lastly, why can't I ask other people to vote on my poll even if I don't express my own views? If I just want other people's opinions?
I fail to catch your point.
Is AION crafting as limited as some have said.Just bring materials to npc ??
this. if it fails...Jumpgate Evolution, i suppose.
DARKFALL 09!
Apparently 08 didn't make it
Sorros of Forumfall.

Also, even mobs of the same type differ (skilllevel, equipment, etc) so the traditional repeating won't exist even if you choose to "grind" (whihc, of course, you don't have to).
Aion leveling gap is minimal and you also level your skills there (from 1 to 9) by using them, once you reach the level cap, which takes around 15 days for the hardcore players, there's no more "level based" system. Aion progression is more about skills mixed with gear, its not a leveling game. Then you reach level 50 and go for stigmas, which will provide you with new skills, and once you have, level them up to 9. You can use 5 stigmas at the same time.
The only "grind" I can see there is an abyss points grind (You get abyss points through raiding, siegeing, killing enemies in pvp, doing some quests in the abyss and killing the enemy faction's NPC's) since the best abyss gear is a bit expensive (abyss points is a non tradeable coin, bb RMT).
Who can tell before I tried them?
Still, I'd go for Aion at the moment, he movies I seen from it looks better but gameplay is far more than you can see in a simple video, I need to try them both before saying any more.
My sig answers this question. I was once a fan of DF but I hoped the fence once I realized it wont shape up to what it promises. Adventurine is being way to shady. When an MMO company starts acting shady something is majorly wrong.
Waiting for:EQ-Next, ArcheAge (not so much anymore)
Now Playing: N/A
Worst MMO: FFXIV
Favorite MMO: FFXI
Yea there is a lot of skepticism regarding Darkfall. However they seem to be pretty far in the process... I mean the anticipation is already so great, and so much has been promised. I don't know what would happen if all of the sudden the devs say the game is delayed for another year.
Aion, as long as it plays like a traditional mmorpg ala EQ1 style or Vanguard style, with those amazing graphics is glitch free and has that inspiring music ill be cool with that game for years!
QFT!!!!

Whereas Darkfall is DnL 2.0

DNL was a good game and a great concept. It just had some problems. Problems Darkfall didn't have.
When you get an expert to help u building an engine and the expert leaves in the middle of development AND has made a terrible code AND sues you.. That can mess with things. Darkfall didnt have that.
And most of that money is put in advertising and hyping itself. But then again not everyone has bad taste in MMOs and why bring up that POS game in a non WOW thread?
So sorry guys...
But Darkfall and Aion something, are these bicycle or football teams ???
And they are produced by which company ???
Two completely different games, and one is much more likely to actually come out let alone live up to its promises than the other. This topic really isn't nessiary and has resulted in the expected flame war.
Bans a perma, but so are sigs in necro posts.
EAT ME MMORPG.com!

So say we all. battle star galactica truth 4 ever
I'd go for Darkfall.
Even though Aion might have more detailed graphics, they look too fluffy to me...
Personally playing AoC and waiting for Champions online.
But if I had to chose between the two I would pick Darkfall.
Aion has the look of a Korean F2P game with a little more polish. I don't like the flashy combos and over the top Asian style of the game.
I doubt I will play either one to be honest.
Clearly you did not read my original post clearly.
"...I know that some people will try to be smart and say that these games can't be compared cause they focus on different aspects of playing.
Nevertheless I want to see which one is more popular for the general population on this site. ..."
Whether if this topic is necessary is not for you to say I'm afraid. I wanted to see which one is hooking people's attention more and I feel that this thread has well served that purpose. Also don't call a thread unnecessary beacuse people flame in it... next time I'll come flame your thread and call it useless afterwards...
