Look ... whats that !? is there maybe a new MMO on the horizon?

Darkfall Online

http://www.darkfallonline.com/

In my weekly routine with checking gamesites for upcoming games and beta registrations, I stumbled over this. After filling out the beta registration, which I do usually without the demand to know much about a game, I started reading about the features. To make the story short - no breaking new features - but they picked a lot of good things from other games.
  • Graphic looks nice on the screenshots. on the movie you see that they have still some work to do especially the character animations.
  • Skillbased character advancing frees me from the class picking discussion
  • Factions
  • Solid death penalty
  • You can push other people, which makes me wanna meet on a bridge with you :)
  • NPCs to hire for certain tasks (bag-carrier)
  • no PvP Restrictions with the tradoff to ruin your faction standing
  • ...
I know that gamestudios tend to be better at promising features than programming them, but I think I'll keep an eye on that game.

definitely sounds interesting :) thx for checking it out.
I like the skillbased system and factions :)
Ofc I hope the game isn't made all of bridges :D
Grafx definitely looks nice and appeal me more than the world of Tcos. I'll try to give a look at vid ^^

Read a bit more about it, sounds nice but highly pvp.
The full loot part scares me a bit and it doesn't seem to be a pve game at all? (haven't read anything about dungeons).

I like the sea battles though but as you say they promiss a lot, will see what's at the end of the line
