You keep saying that the reason people aren't playing this is because its too hard. Well to be honest, it's not that difficult at all, and the penalties aren't even that big. Enough to make death inconvenient, as it should be.

The reason people don't play is because SoE doesn't support it. Simple as that. Most people love the game, but see its not going anywhere and the population isn't enough to fill out the huge world.

Vanguard is the best PvE MMO on the market, without a doubt.

Glad to see they're still just taking a giant dump on the Lord of the Rings lore. Should have just stuck with Middle Earth Online Turbine, instead of this weird bastardization.

while in some cases I can understand the appeal of a PvE server. DAoC had a PvE server. It's a different type of game, you work together with friends, doing dungeon crawls, exploring, that good stuff.

But in Darkfall, despite having some of the best PvE content around, it really is all designed from the ground up to have PvP involved. Scarcity of resources, to the UI itself, dragging and dropping inventory items. Just doesn't translate well without some sort of PvP.

I hate WoW for almost single handedly destroying what I loved about the MMORPG market.

The beta is entirely unplayable, it's a joke. To think they actually charged us money to play this piece of shit, as if its some kind of reward. This is hardly even alpha quality, NOTHING works, ranged combat isn't even in, and melee combat only functions (just barely) with less than 5 people on the screen. Unless it's delayed (for a third time) I don't expect this to get off the ground

This was such a failure of an MMO, if you can even call it that. Somehow an M rated game, that was more simplistic and handholding and linear than the super casual WoW, and heavily over instanced, only 50 people per zone? Not being allowed to go back to lower level zones once you outleveled them? They seriously call this an MMO?

How do you make an MMO any more casual than that farce The Old Republic. A glorified singleplayergame with a monthly fee

Ah DAoC. One of the four big MMOs that shaped the MMO industry. It's a sad thing to note, that even 8 years after it released, it's graphics are still better than most modern MMOs, and it can support battles that would make WoW cry to it's mommy. The term "they don't make um like they used to" firmly applies here. I'd choose DAoC over that shallow one dimensional game WoW any day, oh wait I already have.

Too bad the game itself is a laggy buggy crashing piece of crap

I can't believe people are getting scammed into a paid beta. The game itself has been delayed at least 3 times, and the beta has been delayed at least twice. Alpha reports are saying crashes with 5 men fighting and arrow flights not even being coded in yet. Sounds like another Age of Conan trying to pull all money possible before it crashes and burns.
