A reason why the release of mmo.s right now is at a standstill is because windows vista and a new direct x are launching 2007. Supposedly the combo of these is going to be huge for online gaming. Something to do with how bandwidth is distributed and graphic performance to deal with lots of players on the screen at the same time and engine performance. The question i pose is' How can you make a mmorpg and plan around technology that isnt even avaliable yet? I spose darkfall graphics are so good because with the new technology coming that awesome graphics wont have an effect on gameplay. I see graphics as the focal point of the future of mmo's rather than gameplay imo. Just give me an open battlefield with a shaman, a hally, corp por, some gheals, full loot, siegable buildings. WTB the shakes. pst
