The thing that has done the most to kill role playing in MMOs is the endless xp/loot grind that has come to dominate nearly every MMO since UO. People don't have time or the inclination to do the RP activities that Raek mentions because of the need to grind out that next precious level.

UO was great because you could roll up a character, and in an evening, get to the point where you could roll with gang. Your 'toon was by no means done, but at 80 or 90 skill points (out of 100), which you could get in an evening, you were competant. Every point in addition on the way to GM at 100 was better, of course, but it wasn't like the unbridgable gulf that exists in leveling MMOs for character who differ in only a few levels.

The combination of level inequities and uber gear just kills playability, in my opinion.




Amen.

A quick side topic, if any of you haven't read through the DF website in awhile, they've done some minor updates here and there. Some new pics in the race section, a couple of new monster types added with pics. As Taos put it, giving the current website a face lift is their current plan but probably after beta starts and is well on its way they plan to create a whole new web site "worthy to display DF on."

http://www.darkfallonline.com/community/

Good to know they plan on making a much more complex homesite. It needs to have atleast all of the same features the DAOC web site had like stat pages, character profile look up, guild rankings and look ups etc, as well as region maps of who owns what. If only Darkfall had stock we could buy into, i'd buy it and then bet it on the guess that DF will have a very well put together web site with a plethera of features like mentioned above.
