Its one of the things I miss most from UO
I was PK'ed so much in UO, yet strangely some of my best MMO moments over the last 10+ years have been from those PKs. There are players I have befriended in MMOs and raided against dungeon bosses with, players whose characters I cannot remember the names of.. but I can remember virtually every name of those people who PKed me in UO, and some of those encounters still stick in my mind as some of the best adrenalin filled MMO moments I've had.
I am hoping that DF might bring back some of that feeling of worry and trepidation about leaving a town to head into the "wilds" again, instead of just seeing an MMO death as a momentary interruption or a quick and harmless way to travel back to point A.
Still needs to be a good game as well as that factor though, and thats the part that I will be the most curious to see.

Its been delayed toi Feb 25th now unfortunatley heh they had to do some server stress testing apparently before they could fully release it
you could say the same thing about eve-online yet its subscription remains inline with other games.
from what ive been hearing about darkfall the pvp wont be as hardcore as you think anyway aparently even in the wilderness they have started putting up the sentry tower things that kill pkers lol

Losing a set of GM made armour is not the same as losing a full T7 Naxx set. There are consequences, but they are not as harsh as a lot of carebears seem to think.

This games doesnt even look good enough to pay that amount of money for, not alone pay a subscription as well. What sort of mug would pay £40 for a game and then £10 per month apart from pizza lovers with nothing better to spend their money on.
Plus people say that its only the cost of pizza but what do you think you will be doing when you are playing this MMO game? Eating pizza maybe?
Or you could skip the eating and just get off with a fantasy over some female half elf that that you met on your travels who is in fact some 40 year old virgin called Jeff who still lives at home with his mum. (No offence to any Jeffs out there!)

Its probably best if a little research is done, the "sentry tower things that kill pkers lol" are placed only near racial banks and certain quest givers. They cover less than 1 percent of the map and you can see them from quite a distance. They're there so that noobs can do the first few quests without being constantly griefed. Seems to be fair enough to me, not really any different to the town guards in UO.
What's your point exactly, other than to insult everyone?
Hehe
To address your points individually,
I dont care particularly what an MMO looks like, UO looked god awful and wasnt even in 3d, yet was the best MMO I ever played (by a long long way). Regardless I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and try it myself before declaring that its good or bad, at least then I actually know from personal experience rather than hearsay or (heaven forbid) looks.
No, I wont be eating pizza while I play , because I dont eat food over my PC, I tend to sit together with my wife and kid for dinner.
I would hardly have to "skip" the eating and at least if he was 40 he would be my age

Snap! Methinks bloodline is either a pizza fanboi ("Dont diss my pizza dude!") or someone who consider super realistic eye candy as the epitome of gameplay. Perhaps this is why the game caters for the more experienced player interested in the experience, rather than the big explosions. Theres a lot of mention of UO and I suppose you have to not be in school anymore to actually remember that game.

Some of us arent 14 living off Mommys pocket money. £40 is nothing, £10 is below that - And if it recreates any of the brilliance of UO, its more than worth it.
They say the 25th.
Could do with getting their act together on the web servers for pre-ordering though, they've been unusable for days (even trying at 4am!)
You can start torrenting the client from http://www.eu1.darkfallonline.com/dl/DarkfallFull/ at some point today.

are you in beta? an online friend of mine who ive played mmo's with for around 10 years is in the beta and he said in the last patch they added sentry towers to places that dont make sense because they apear in areas that arent suposed to be safe.
he made it sound almost as if they were spread out like checkpoints

Bit off topic, but if this is a common problem for you I'd suggest you looking up using Putty and SSH tunnels. Will need to get yourself access to some kind of 'nix server.
