I'll probably pick up DAoC after it's been out for a week or 2 so i can be pretty sure i didnt blow another $50 (like AO + 3 months prepaid- ick http://dev.www.sharkyforums.forums.relay.cool/ ) Someone asked about realms... well there are 3 realms: Midgard (vikings), Hibernia (tree hugging elves), and Albion (King Arthur's realm- normalish human types). There are about a half dozen servers scheduled to be up for release, including a RP server, a test server, and lots of normal servers. Also, probably a "hardcore" server for d00dish powerleveling types (yippie for them!) I think the Realm vs. Realm aspect will be quite awesome, and from what i hear from beta testers, there are very very few bugs, the classes are pretty balanced, and servers are very stable... so basically it's not AO https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif See you in Midgard!

This is to stop cheating! You could log in a toon with one realm and then talk to your friend in the other realm and tell him what is going on and what their strat is. On a side note too. You can have up to 4 toons, but they all have to be in the same realm on the same server. If you want a toon in a different realm you have to do it on another server.

While not exactly MASSIVELY multiplayer, the only multiplayer RPG I'm looking forward to is Neverwinter Nights. The MMORPGs have a LONG way to go before they're anything more then hack'n'slash with hundreds or thousands of players. You can bow down to all the hype you want coming from all the ones in development, it's going to be at least one or two more generations before the roleplaying aspect really starts getting effectively integrated into these games.

I beta tested and played UO, EQ, AC, and I've beta tested AO. I've been keeping tabs on all the latest one coming out, but I'm taking all the hype and promises with a HUGE grain of salt and I'm going to wait until those games PROVE their claims before I put any of my time and effort into them. Right now, NWN is by far my best bet for the type of online gameplay I've been looking for.

I've also been waiting for NWN. I don't really care how long it takes so long as it lives up to half of whats been promised.

I'm waiting for one that doesn't bore me. EQ just got too dull after a while and AO is just about the same.

It's going to be a long time before I try another. Played EQ, and got annoyed, primarily because of the way wizards got screwed in the "balancing". Was quite excited about AO, no more camping!, but it got boring real quick. So, back to normal games for a while.

I agree, it wouldn't hurt to add some sweet non linear gameplay with amazing storyline to all this hacking, Most importantly of all i would like to see a game where chars get attributes from the ish they do, not a massive online ffa sprawl for items, i have had my fill of treasure hunting games in diablo ii, thank you,

P.S. do you have to pay in order for it to be thought of as a MMO game?
