i don't think there is a real solid way to review continuously changing games such as mmo's. besides the reviews put out by gamespot, ign, and the like are never very timely anyway, because like the article said, it takes a ton of time to get fully immersed in games like these. if people want to know if they'll like an mmo they are better off just playing the free trials most games use.

although i would agree darkfall is probably a pretty bad game. no, i have not played. but in mmo's community is 50% of the gameplay experience, and it seems to me like the darkfall comm. is full of hardcore jerk-offs. :D
