How am I just finding out about this? www.darkdaysarecoming.com/Seriously, it has 3 Factions with DAoC inspired PvP (w/ Relics) set in the modern day. I am so on board with what these guys are doing.

Looks cool, but I'm not getting to hyped about it. It'll be a looong ass time before it gets here. Back in September, Funcom cut like 20% of their workforce and said it will result in a significant delay for the Secret World.

True, but they are taking about to start beta. So at least it's still moving forward. I just can't believe I hadn't heard a single thing about this game before Funcom sent a message about it yesterday.

I took the quiz and it told me I'm a dragon. Rar.

Anarchy Online was my first MMO and it still holds a special place in my heart. It gave me my first taste of the MMO drug and I've been addicted since!

Once I read that the game would be skill-based and not use classes, I stopped. I haven't seen those systems work for MMO's yet. SWG being my most recent disastrous example.
People figure out the ideal combination of skill points to win in PvP and everyone becomes that. If they can figure out a way around that problem, then it could be interesting.

Yeah, from what I've seen on the website and mmorpg.com, it looks great! Skill based games are a lot harder to implement, but that's what people have been saying they want for years. A non-fantasy setting, three factions, occult investigation, all great elements. It's Funcom, but supposedly different teams than did Age of Conan. I never played that one, so I don't know why they're using that as a selling point.
Look at their website, it gives you a personality test to see which faction you'd be most compatible with.
Yeah, it looks like something I'd play; sort of World of Darkness type game without being limited to generic bloods and dawgies.
i threw it over my shoulder, and watched as it vomited up all the black ichor it had just drunk down. "Wassa matter, monster? Don't like the taste?"
