Is anyone sick of playing MMOs that are either entirely PvE or have PvP that is devoid of consequences? I know Darkfall is coming out but my guess is that game is going to be another huge disappointment.
RvR in games like WAR create a communal penalty system for failure in PvP that just bores the crap out of me. I want to go into combat knowing that I can and will lose money/items if I fail. I dont want the developer to hold my hand to make sure that I have some socialist lowest-common-denominator level of fun. I want a game that gives the players the ability to steal (really, not some bullshit system where you can only steal certain items in certain places blah blah blah), PK, and generally make real CHOICES that have real CONSEQUENCES for my character. Do I give a flying fuck if my "capture point" has been taken over by the enemy realm and thus I will have some existential penalty placed on my character? Do I give a crap if I get killed if I can just respawn with all my shit and run right back into battle? Is this fucking Counterstrike? And and least in Counterstrike you earn cash to buy better weapons/armor that other players can loot off your corpse.
God, I havent REALLY liked an MMO since UO pre-T2A and I know I'm not alone.
And yes, I have tried Eve-Online, but the flying around in space endlessly is a little boring too.
