MMOSite is reporting that the development of the long-thought dead Dark and Light has been taken over by Chinese development house, Snail Games. Snail Games is best known for Age of Wulin. Devs call Dark and Light a "real" MMO.
The Dark and Light world covers an area of more than 40,000 square kilometers(15,000 square miles), 40+ times as large as that of WoW. Dark and Light offers a variety of races including Human, Elf, Orc, Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, Dragon and so on for players to choose, and depicts the conflicts between the two opposing factions – Order and Disorder.

Wow...blast from the past.
I'm starting to think MMO's really do never die.
In War - Victory.
In Peace - Vigilance.
In Death - Sacrifice.
Wish em good luck...really taugh descision
Awesome! I really hope they can turn this game around!
It was genuine good concept.
Could turn out to be good.
April 1st is tomorrow... just saying.
Hope it's P2P
was this the mmo you could do 'shieldboarding' in the snow? I remember being disappointed this mmo didn't make it to release stage.
Wish, now that is a game that needs to be brought back from the grave.
This is kind of old news, but the first public showing in the west. They have been at work on this game for a few years now.
We have an interesting array of sandbox games coming out.
DF2010 months late o DF arena.
Arche Age
and now D&L revamp
Hope snail games has as good of programmers as artist. Cause that game was a mess.
i doubt its an april fools joke. with that said.
This Looks great, and the concepts behind this game are just breath taking, as someone who enjoys killing things being a shop keeper at a real in-game store would be BOSS! Cant wait for more information on this game to be released!
Seen it in a topic here today before. Looks awesome what they're adding. Perhaps the Chinese can make DnL come to live again and port it to the Western market later on..?
Did not see this one coming.
Was my first thought also!
Great, another mediocre game that won't top 10k subs (unless they primarily market it in the East; then they might get more). Still, never thought it'd be resurrected.
This game had such great potential, I really deeply hope these people can pull it off!
I remember a bunch of use pre-ordered this game at launch, still never recieved my copy but oh well the game was borked up beyond belief at launch.
This is OLD OLD OLD OLD news. I'm susprised it took MMORPG.com SOOO long to pick this up.
The Theory of Conservative Conservation of Ignorant Stupidity:
Having a different opinion must mean you're a troll.
Agreed. And besides, due to the law suit, a large portion of the game engine had to be redone. I think it is basically going to be a very different game just using the old DnL name and it will probably be released only in China/Asia.
A man is his own easiest dupe, for what he wishes to be true he generally believes to be true...
They are using an entirelly new engine and revamping EVERYTHING, except for the main concept ideas of the game.
There has been a huge article about this back in mmoculture blog, this game seems to have player-built cities, various innovative features and other things and is only keeping main lore elements and main game concepts from its previous incarnation. For all intents and purposes its the new game with similar ideas.

i like the screen shot, seriously, it's pretty eye friendly
So What Now?
Yep this is old news
But if my memory banks are right when i was dare i say it a paying customer eek !!(scary to think i followed DnL religiously until i realised the devs were incompetent fools).
Snail game were brought in to revamp the graphics as they were beyond crap at the time so they have a long time relationship with the franchise,but i think they will adapt this to the asian market unlike Archeage which is getting the west treatment.
It's very unlikely it will be released only in Asia, all of their other games are published in the west regions.
Huh?
Oddly enough it did i was one of the many poor buggers who played at release and then it went F2P,after the player base were on the verge of sueing as we were still in Alpha stage months after launch !!,and customers getting their subs taken 2 or 3 times a month and the law suit and the brilliant excuse of no patches due to the fact a epidemic had broken out on Reunion Island so no patches or anything for like 2 months !!
You could snowboard down a mounatin side, hang glide and parachute. Fly a drake well above the clouds to mounatin peaks.
Coolest stuff ever, after that, the game sucked. If they fixed the stuff that sucked, i'd try her again.
LOL That screen is NOT d&l. Just sayin
World of Warcraft is the original creation of God. Real Life is in fact a WoW clone.
