The Greatest (P2P) Game Ever Made!!!
« on: July 22, 2005, 05:12:41 pm »
I don\'t know if anyone here has heard of the upcoming mmorpg Dark and Light, but if have or havn\'t, It\'s the most in depth mmorpg I have ever seen, well besides ps :).
It has:
-12 races
-14 classes not including explorers
-Largest world in any game ever, the whole WoW world is equal to 5% or the Dark and Light world
-Different kingdoms, real players own the kingdoms and kingdoms fight all the time and their borders are constantly changing.
-You can ride dragons and such in the air, even jump off of them in the air and pull out a parachute.
-The sides of Dark and Light are at war. If you\'re dark and you see a light guy running, attack. :)
-1 huge world, no servers or loading zones.
-Every person has a job
-There\'s FXP and SXP one makes you stronger the other makes you climb the political ladder to be a nobleman or somthing else.
-80 mins in RL=1 day in game, 400ish in game days= 1 in game year.
- Much more, too much to put here.

Here are some links:

Best Fan Site Out There
Some Screenshots

The thing about how much there is released about the game is this. The game is almost ready for release, their target date is November. It\'s still in closed beta though which means you can play by invite only right now aqnd anyone who plays beta has to sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) Which basicly says they can\'t give out any information at all about the game. Anything out about it now was allowed by the devs.


I still don\'t know how exactly I\'m going to pay for the game but they say for the first month the game will be free so they can do a \"stress test\". Which I have no problem with. :D

Oh and there are a bunch or religons in the game. You chose to follow one and your religon will have its own events. Your religon will also have a constilation in the night sky and when your constilation is bright special things happen.
One last thing, the good items in the game won\'t drop, they must be crafted. This means that no more farmers and, well, cool. :) When you craft a weapon you don\'t take it to an npc either. You find a player with high crafting skills and you let them do their thing once you give them all the required items. But, the crafter isn\'t the only thing that matters. The weather, stars, time of day, month etc. will all matter on how your weapon comes out. Yes, weather. It will rain snow etc. in the game depending on the season. But, some classes can even change the weather, I think the druid could...
Necromancers turn into bats, Monks turn into spirits, Archers snipe in first person, etc.

I\'m probably gonna die from waiting for this game. I\'ve had my eye on it since january and it just seems so promising. I still have no idea how I\'m gonna pay but I\'ll find a way.

It will be up for download, you don\'t have to buy it. They arn\'t 100% sure on just how much it will be a month yet but they said between 10 and 15 US. That would be about 8-13 in uro I think...

Been away for some time, trying other MMORPG\'s - came to one conclusion: me + PVP = HATE!

am I the only one who see a similarity between this and this?

Ok well that\'s not at all similar if you ask me. Those towers from the planeshift picture you see are elevators to different llevels.

I noticed some things similar in this game and ps but nothing to like sue em over, I doubt they copyed anything from ps. Homes and jobs arn\'t really that hard to think of after all.

I wanna play a dark elf necromancer. I heard necromancers in this game won\'t raise a million skeletons or anything but instead lets say your ally dies on the battle feild. You can raise a slightly weaker shadow ghost version of him who will d your bidding. Not very respectable but necromancers never were supposed to have the respect of their peers.

Sounds good. Now if they could only get a combat system that\'s more than just point and click. I\'m still looking for an rpg where the combat requires actual skill.

I\'ve heard that the Conan Barbarian MMORPG thingy will have  a good and advanced combat system if it ever comes out ;P

Efflixi I never said they copied anything - did I? ;)
And come on, if one has the smallest amount of imagination, there is a LITTLE similarity in the structure ^^

You should try guildwars if you\'re not looking for anything point and clicky. I don\'t think they want this game to be a click and wait till you kill the monster type of thing anyways.

Those graphics would drive me insane! the landscape and characters look so drab and pasty and the architecture is horrible. Who cares if the world is 50 times bigger that WoW\'s, it looks like crap where as WoW\'s is absolutely beatiful and highly detailed compared to Dark and Light\'s giant barren wilderness.

Ill stick with Planeshift however, thank you very much

I came across Dark & Light about a year ago.
It looks like a very interesting and promising game. I get the feeling though that the world is going to be too big. The info given on the races is pretty pathetic aswell.

Dont think Im going to play it though, Im sure Oblivion will be the only RPG Ill play for 2 or 3 years, just like Morrowind :D

What sort of combat system is there in GW?
