Yawn. Wake me when there is a good non-fantasy MMO. I really wish for a great Shadowrun or Warhammer 40k MMO. Both those worlds are awesome.

Well after learning about Darkfall from this thread, and not reading past the first post, I've found all the info I could in the past few days. From the sounds of it, the majority off the people posting in this thread are speaking directly from their ass. EU release is a mere 15 days away.
Oh yeah, and I second what

This game looks fun, don't get me wrong but it defitnely will NOT kill WoW. I'll play it but I'll probably find AoC and WoW much better. Just my opinion :)

I'm basing my opinion solely on the video, as that's all I know if it at the moment, but it looks to me like a game that looks cool when you look at it as a whole, but will probably seems empty and desolate and lifeless when you get down into it.
One of the things that made WoW great is that while it is expansive, it isn't so expansive it becomes barren and boring. It has character and it feels lush, full, and immersive.
Also I wish it wasn't so dryly "fantasy". While WoW is most definitely "fantasy", it has a unique style and character that has been established through years of the franchise.
Darkfall just looks cliche and boring to me.
Though if one or two thousand people leave Laughing Skull I won't complain. Queues suck.

WoW is defeated by lag.
2700 queue, 25man naxx unbearable in lag with 2-4 second freezes making thaddius impossible to kill tonight when the guild has been farming clears for weeks.
every single guild in 25man naxx is complaining about it on general chat while inside naxx, ridiculous imo.
That only applies to someone who plays on Illidan and uses a cardboard box to play WoW.

*ponders* I'd probably leave WoW for a Grand Theft Auto MMO =) A modern-day 'reality' setting would be neat... if it was done right, of course. lawl.
You can't stop juggernauts. And WoW is THE Juggernaut of MMO's. WoW hits you wit yo own pimp!

To be fully honest this reminds me of something like Age of Empires.

I'm willing to try this out for one reason: City Building.
To be honest, i have been interested in the concept of player built cities in an MMO for a while, and this game would be a good example of it in practice.
I have some hope for this game, but i'm not gonna get them up too much. I have a bad feeling it will fail.
but i wanna see it succeed. So much of it appeals to me :3

Have only skimmed through this thread, so apologies if this has already been said.
The difficulty in building a new MMO right now is WoW because it is just so successful. A new MMO needs to be similar enough to WoW to be familiar enough to players, but different enough to have offer a reason to play it. If its too similar to wow players will just say "Whats the point?" and go back to wow, if its too different players will say "this is too weird" and go back to wow.
Darkfall looks pretty, but doesn't appeal to me. It also seems to be promising the world to players and I doubt it will meet those expectations and if it doesn't, players will feel let down and wont play it. I wish Darkfall all the best, if its a massive success then it could be the game to revolutionise the MMO market.
The one game I can see being a challenge to wow is Star Wars the old republic. Its being developed by Bioware who have a record for excellent RPG's. Its set is the most successful and famous franchise there is and gameplay wise they are making character driven story a huge part in the game.
