Character progression is just flat out not as important in Darkfall. Otherwise, it's very similar to EVE, just with less scope and effect. A lot less.
No, it isn't…
End game is practically completely instanced in WoW. Hell, even normal PUGs don't ever really do anything in the persistent world at end game any longer now that there are all the five man instances.
LOTRO and DDO.
I'd pick up DDO. Cash shop helps, but isn't necessary especially if you just want to play if casual for an hour or two here and there. It's not by any means super hardware intensive. As long as your computer isn't 6+ years old and h…

Pretty much.
It works vice vers…
RIFT: Depends on the whole "dynamic world" panning out. Lots have promised it, none have ever accomplished it. The only time worlds are dynamic is in PvP games with world building, and those tend to be limited to a handful of predefined buildable l…
Linear in that skills progress from 0 to 100 and you can max (almost) every skill? Both EVE and Darkfall are equally linear in that regard. EVE has more skills which makes its character development more complex, but not less linear. Everything is le…
God forbid you have to actually work a bit to accomplish something. The current games have already placed it on a damn silver platter for you, and now you need them to hand you the damn thing to boot?
Originally posted by Cik_Asalin Interesting how EVE is considered niche, when it started off several years ago as such, but brought some of the best dynamic and organic robust game-play and completeness of content to the market, it flourished and no…

No offense OP but I am a bit confused. You describe Darkfall as linear, shallow and narrow but refer to Torchlight as having depth.
I do not understand those descriptions of those g…
Nothing, 2010 was a big fat year of nothing.
Fallen Earth is half-decent but not my cup of tea . Wait for Rift, TERA, Earthrise. Rift should release pretty soon and might be decent. LOTRO, DDO, and Atlantica are free and pretty entertaining. I hat…

Because its different from a sandbox when you have to grind 500 of the same rock to get a thousand lobs/ore/epic mats to make an epic glove?
Sounds more like a theme park objective, imo. I never spent a signi…

Theme park MMO players have to have their hand held and be told what to do. Kill quests can be churned out in rapid numbers with little effort . If a theme parker doesn't have a quest to do and just has to randomly kill mobs for no apparent reason t…
So you want a MMO that you spend hundreds, possibly thousands, of hours on to deliver the same fun per hour as CoD single player which takes you five hours to complete, and you want it done in a seamless free-form world instead of CoD scripted game…
The problem with DDO is that there is this game called Guild Wars which is free and quite similar.
DDO shines in a few places;
1) Character customization - Let's face it, most MMOs today are designed with next to zero character customizati…

The point isn't that someone didn't like the game... the point is that the reviewer never actually played the game he was paid to review. The comments about 30 seconds to switch weapons confirm this... I mean dragging things to a hotbar isn't exactl…
