Anyone here play it ? If you do and you have played Everquest how do you think it compare's ?
Other then the monthly fee to play I think it's the bomb...

Darkageofcamelot.com should get you to there info page. You have to buy the game to play then pay "rent" every moth..

Yeah the theme park's here in Florida are a blast. I just went to Busch Garden's a few week's ago. I rode the roller coaster's till my head spun... [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

Does anyone know when the UK release date for the game is? Looks like a canny game from what I've seen... also wondering how it'll fare over a 56k modem...

I use a 56k mod. and have no real problem's even when there are 200 peep's playing at once.
Not sure on UK release though, I'll see if I can find out..

Pay for the game and then pay monthly to play? I think not. They should either give the game away for free and charge for play, or charge for the game and let users play for free.

Another scheme that I find acceptable is to charge for the game and give the users something like 6 months free.

First month is free. They do it that way because if you gave everyone access the system would crash. They would have to have an enormous network. Plus it keep's cheating to a null and flaming is there but only in Realm vs Realm..
It's worth the expense if you ask me. Especially if you arent going anywhere for awhile..

The monthly fee of most of these games is about the prize of a pizza. Its not as much as it seems sometimes.

For me it's the principle of the thing... not the actual amount. I tend to think that these games are designed specifically to bilk the user out of much more cash then they'd normally pay for a game. If they're worried about their server being overloaded then they should provide a game that allows users to set up their own servers (as NWN is intending)

As a guy that writes software it seems to me that these systems have a fundamental design goal of providing constant cash flow to the company, not to provide the best game experience and value for the user. Selling out in that manner is what I find so reprehensible. Quake destroyed the online pay-for-play racket for 3d - first person shooters, and as soon as a viable alternative is available to the rpg community (NWN hopefully), these operations will be likewise destroyed... which is as it should be.
