Darkfall, Best MMO ever!
The only thing that sucks right now is the queuing which is interrupting my free play time. That said, it will be fixed. What's left is simply the best MMO ever made. The game is still young, but there is a solid core for which the game to grow.
Never again will I play an MMO that does not have:
A skill based system
FFA PVP
Full Loot
Huge World (meaningful travel)
City Building
Boats
FPS like targeting
all lumped into one package.
These things simply make the game so fun. The lack thereof, for me, results in a hollow/shallow, cheap experience. I'm not saying the game is perfect but in time it could be.

Best MMO ever, just begging for a response, and what's the point, when so many threads like this have gone before you?
But what the heck, gives me something to respond to.

A game whose major feature involves circling your foe and spamming your regular attack does not, to me, an immersive game make, no matter how your character is built.
That, and the graphics make me want to purge the jelly beans which I am no enjoying very, very much, thank you - so you can imagine how far purging is from my preferred course of action.
Anyhow. No matter how idealistic an image comes to mind when you imagine a game incorporating all those features, all that the game really is, is a group of people circle-trapping & click spamming regular attack on NPCs, and when they're fully geared, they head off to PvP. When they die, they go back to circling the mob.
No to mention, of course, that a large portion of the interface is web-based & horribly implemented (really, browser based guild management, from in-game only?).
I'm glad you're enjoying the game, though. Small companies need our support more than ever in today's troubling economic climate.
After reading your post I think your title should say, " Darkfall potentialy the best mmo ever."
Of course the best mmo ever is really a personal opinnion.
I don't see costume customization in there so it can't the best ever for me.
Though it does have orcs running in circles. That's a huge plus. (For me.)
Going by the only measure that really counts, subs, currently the best mmo ever is WoW and Darkfall is close to or is last on the "best"list.
I was involved in the 300 person hamlet battle. Enemies as far as the eye could see. With skirmishes over a KM. FPS held steady and very playable to. Can't wait until our clan starts taking over cities.

Well having FFA PVP with full along with FPS like targeting loot loses my interest from the get go, but glad your happy!

Correct. That and 24 is on a commercial break.
MO vs DF
DF has gameplay elements not currently available in other MMOs that would really seem the greatest to the demographic who is craving them, I could see this opinion being out there.
Things like a "hardcore" feel, full loot, pretty much FFA PvP, so I can imagine some people are blown away after chewing through the repeated level-grind "gotta get to end game to start having fun" MMOs.
Wouldn't be my opinion, but I can see it.
I dont see any difference between getting max level to be on top or getting max skills to be on top. Same numbers, different names.
I am the type of player where I like to do everything and anything from time to time.

I don't play yet, but the two are totally different. There is no "Level X skill to Y level" in order to do anything. You get better with skill increases, but it isn't a tiered structure.
I could be wrong, maybe a current player could describe it better.

Indeed.
The way the skill system is implemented in Darkfall is one major blunder; almost makes one wish classes were available. Now everybody is going around with the same skillsets. No discernible differentiation between players.
It looks like Aventurine took the worst possible approach in implementing every single (good) innovative feature in Darkfall.
"Same numbers, different names."
Correct.

I called this a while ago, put a buncha ego driven "hardcore" players together and they will all play what ever build they think it will be the easiest to win with.
Every time I see people raving about DF a little piece of me dies inside. Just because it's full loot and open-world pvp does not make it good. People have lowered their expectations to such a level that they're happy playing any old shit. What a sad state of affairs.
Dont forget the "hardcore" fans who are willing to lie through their teeth about how the game really is in a last ditch effort not to look like a total chump after buying all of Tasos' bullshit.

Though there are many sheep, as in many such games, that follow FOTM religiously;
The truth of the matter is that there are, in fact, many different play styles and as such distinct builds starting to become evident.
Obviously, new players start with similar starting skills, so one would assume that during the initial stages of character development, the differences would be minimal, but what is happening is that, as the players develop skills and due to issues like the quantity and cost of skills themselves, we are seeing a lot of dilineation between individuals.
A more accurate guage of this will be better viewed in a month or two, but even in my own alliance, I am seeing a large number of alternate pathways being taken.
My experience, anyway...

I only know of two combat styles, melee and ranged, did I miss something? As for fotm, generally in other MMOs fotm is a class or two with certain overpowered abilities. Now in DF with no ability being classified to a particular class, it means everyone will have access to the same skillsets, and people will gravitate to what works best. Also with only 1 character, I dont see a lot of tinkering with other skillsets on say an alt.
Yes it's the best. lol

I am sorry, but you are mistaken, but you can tell yourself whatever you like if it makes you happy, I suppose.

The difference is not in the levels and skills but in the freedom.
Where themepark games try to hide that they are copying WOW, games like Mortal Online and Darkfall make no attempt to hide their inspiration

Well then please enlighten us.
I hate posts like this, saying that the previous poster is wrong, but does not explain how it is wrong. In my opinion Arcken is right. From all the videos I have seen it is either melee or ranged combat. So if there is more choices explain to us what they are. It does seem that everyone is making the same build, maybe little differences here and there but not enough uniqueness in my opinion.
Also as far as I have read and seen this looks like a fun MMO, but not much of a MMORPG. But that is my opinion.
