My biggest issue w/ DF

That there is no customization of toons... they will all eventually end up the same w/ liittle exceptions (greatswords or polearms, 1h mace or 1h sword, etc).

I do beleave that AoEs/magic will be fixed in a patch through better timers & a dmg reduction on the super huge no aim spells.

I also beleave that they will eventually add more than just siege pvp to the end game by introducing some form of ladder/tourney system. It would be really bad ass if they gave it an AT pvp method aswell for controlled 3v3s, 5v5s, etc.

UO still goes down as my favorite game
SB was still the best game
DF is fun while it lasts... and i do hope it lasts longer than your predicting
