We\'ll if you just click on somthing and wait...you\'ll die.
You gotta used your skills and watch your health and mana. if you just stand there you\'re as good as dead.

Yeah I read about D&L way back when it was in beta. Tried joining but never got in. Once I get some extra cash I\'ll be sure to check it out.

Umm... yes... That is basically the type of combat system that bothers me. It\'s point and click. Tell me, how many rpg\'s have you played where you don\'t have to watch your health and mana? That\'s the whole point, that that\'s all you do is watch your health and mana and maybe switch stances or change spells. It\'s like... for people who can\'t handle real combat... I\'m looking for an mmorpg version of... say... Planetside. Not that I love that game, but they do have a progression system where you raise \"skills\" and yet what it comes down to is that whether or not you hit your enemy depends on your skill, not on the computer rolling dice to see if you did or not. Now if we could have that sort of combat system in an rpg setting... wow! Think of a cross between, say... Thief (only played a bit of the first one, so that may not be an accurate representation) and Planetside. Something along those lines. Up to you to hit the enemy with your arrow, up to you to block their sword-thrust, not the dice.

I seem to remember Mogura going on and on about this a while back.  I\'m not sure why I remember something like that, but eh.

Nice rant, Phinehas.  For some reason today your name looks weird to me.

Yes, yes I can. What does that have to do with anything?

Actually, I wasn\'t aware of the existence of this game. It looks promising, too bad it\'s not mmo. Still though, I must try it out...

Hooray for quote pyramids!

You\'ll have to wait some time for Oblivion. Until then you may try Gothic - I think you will like its combat system. Still not MMO, though.

Coming from you, that\'s quite a compliment.

I can\'t find a decent site for Gothic, everything\'s German or something. It also seems a bit... dark for my tastes.

last time i heard of this game i saw a dumb video of shield sledding lmao.. anyway, the world is going to be large but randomly generated and boring. ill take something like the hand made forest path in planeshift over endless miles of the same generic looking forest anyday.

I haven\'t finished it yet, but so far it isn\'t darker than most games. You can always play the demo to see if you like it.

@Efflixi: I don\'t think so. But hi anyway

If you like Star Trek then there is a fan made MMORPE and it is supossed to have \"realstic\" combat.

There is loading times and zones, read the FAQ

And the 5% of WoW world is Greatly exagerated, however dark and light will be considerably larger.

I checked out a gameplay video.. the graphics were fairly good, however the animations are extremely stiff, especially fighting looks awkwurd(spelling?)

[Talamir]

awkwurd(spelling?)

Awkward I beleive.


And dark and light is randomly generated terrain?? Sux0rz

[breetai]

yup pretty games like that make my computer lock up, its a shame, time to upgrade again i suppose, the dragons look very well done. check out the beta tesrer screenies, tight work, beta testers rule!
