They are not listed on MMORPG.COM yet, but they should be. These probably have more MMO like features than half the games on this website..
It is somewhat of a cross of Diablo and UO, has hack & slash style combat and all the same features of UO, 100% skill based, birds eye view graphics, gorgeous animations, and you build your own realm!! Everyone builds their own realm, your own dungeon, a house on it etc.. And you can set the rules of your realm. It sounds kind of neat. And the realms are open to all the players, they are zoned but not instanced.
I have been following dawntide for sometime now, a lot of people got into beta, there is no NDA on the beta. These devs are really awesome, they let their players talk about beta, post pictures and videos etc, and they interact with the player community A LOT! They don't even have any rules or moderators on their forums, and the community is great! I am really enjoying this one so far, it is turning out better than Darkfall Online, by a long shot! Boats are in, housing is in, a giant platypus is in, it is as much of a open world as Darkfall or Vanguard, and has very good graphics for how early it is in development, bets testers have really been enjoying this one. No leveling, 100% skill based system like UO. It is completely open ended, and has some of the most complex crafting than any in other MMO and a completely player driven economy.
Both dawntide and link realms are giving me some high hopes, probably too high, if either one of these games delivers, then it will give me hope that MMO's will start progressing again.. What saddens me is that neither game is featured on this website.

Here is a link to the beta screenshots of Dawntide.
Interesting looking games.
Have you suggested them to MMORPG for inclusion to the website?

No, how do I do that?
Yeh dawntide seems cool, but right now its too early to judge it.
there are alot of games like these..
Im personally looking for an AAA game of that type.
World of Warcraft is a proof that MMORPG quality should affect schedule/budget and not the other way around.
Both look like they have potential. If you want to suggest them to the game list, here is how to do it:

At the bottom of the "Game List" tab on this site, there is a box to fill in with info on games they don't cover yet.

Dawntide graphics look pretty outdated, but maybe things will change could be good if they do.
Seen LinkRealms before somewhere, bleh. However, Dawntide I haven't seen and it looks interesting. Thanks for the link
Currently Playing: Toying around with AoC and bored with Darkfall
Thinking of Playing: Fallen Earth or Darkfall after this months update.
Have Played: EQ1, EQ2, WoW, WAR, Vanguard, EvE, Requiem, PW, Lotro, Lineage2, AoC, SWG...
Dawntide is definitely something to keep eyes on, but it's very early development.
The graphics on Dawntide look really decent. I'm going to check it out. Thanks a bunch.

Nice to see some interest in Linkrealms again.
If you can handle the isometric view, this game is truly surprising in its depth.
As has been said, everyone can design their own realm, and the animations will truly shock many. It leaves you wondering why more "advanced" mmo's can't do the same.
Character development is extensive.
Do yourself a favor and check it out. Unfortunately I missed out on the UO days, but from what I've heard the vets can truly appreciate this game.

Dawntide may not look visually stunning, but the artwork is actually really good.
Does the Op have any of the friend beta codes to hand out? If so PM me one
