DF was the most fun MMO that I played to date, even more fun that my first MMO(UO). the only one that in the beginning you got the thrill, it grabed my attetion for almost 2 years.

What I hated:
the overall bad game design decisions, for example the extreme grinding on resources, and skills, the glitches that give too much advantages to people..
And of course for all possibilities, you need a lot of real player skills and group skills, and leading skills.
So overall people got frustated by game flaws and for their both lack of skill to play the game.

I will play DF 2.0, the major fact that drove me away and is the cause on all mmos, is the lack of number of people to play together and be competivive.. so as we are experiencing already on GW2 we need a big group to accomplish things www.. and DF will be the same, you will not have fun with a 5 man group...
