    I think you answered your own question there.  If you enjoyed LOTRO more, that one would be best for you.

    Some people say you can have both. They are wrong. What people consider "good graphics" nowadays is something like what Age of Conan has. The problem is that with todays technology it's just not going to happen. There are no 300vs300 epic battles in AoC, or not even 100vs100. You know why? Because the engine, servers and users computers can't handle it. There would be huge lag and crashes, it would be unplayable.

    Seeing people here complain about DF graphics really pisses me off. I've seen many here say how they prefer gameplay over graphic but once we see a new video what is the first thing they complain about? Yes, graphics. This is so dumb.

    I do agree with most people that Aventurine needs to work on the animations. I hate it when in the videos all the characters had this "bounce" in their running. Hope they can fix that.

    If you want to see what happens when an MMO is all graphics and no gameplay, I suggest you go subscribe to Age of Conan. Sure the game looks pretty but is mostly a boring, instanced, single player game which has no soul. You really want that?

    We don't know much about the gameplay in DF but if they can make it fluid and fun, graphics are acceptable. At least for me.

    
     

    1.  You are wrong.  No one says the graphics have to be ultra realistic -- just well done.  You can have great graphics and still have great gameplay.

    2.  Not all games revolve around 100vs100 -- just the game you seem to be interested in, so it's not always an issue.

    3.  If you are getting pissed off reading the forums, I'd suggest you stop reading.  You're taking this stuff way too seriously.

    I still can't see how they could pull off an '08 release this late in the year, but I'd love to be proven wrong. I think they jumped the gun a little by putting "Darkfall 2008" in all of their newer videos, but if other developers can hype a release date and miss it, why can't Aventurine be allowed the same?

    
     

    yeah, they've never done that with DF before...

• • 300 hours max playtime in a month- should other mmos impose this too?

    Quick question - have you ever played 300 hours in one month?

     

    Only thing this will do is discourage botters. 

    BTW, done for Korean legal reasons.

    
     

    Quick answer - it doesn't matter. 

    Allowing companies to put limitations on things like this is the beginning of a slippery slope.  The whole "unhealthy to set in front of a computer" argument is crap.  Companies are in business to make money -- not play nursemaid to obsessive gamers.  And I seriously doubt anyone on these forums truely gives flying **** how much their fellow gamers play and whether or not they're "healthy."  Get real.

    Today it's a limitation on play time, maybe tomorrow they'll just charge by the hour.  Who knows?  Will you all be licking their boots then?  It's funny how quickly people are willing to let a company think for them.
