How many here played Darkfall?
Was a good game but hated the PVP and thus was a matter of time before I couldn't stand the nervous twitching I was starting to develop when going anywhere and hearing anything. No lvls and just exploring to find new things was a joy and refreshing. It felt open and the AI from the mobs was something I didn't expect. Crafting was a bit interesting and fun to some degree as was the sieging from Boats.
Other MMO fantasy games, I walk up to X NPC, yawn while getting a quest I wont read until I am unable to find the Item/Guy/Cave and then head back to the quest giver just to sell off the item and hope it lvls me in a long drawn out way like its a sadistic torture welcome by all and seems the norm without any form of recourse to do anything else within the game because all other items like crafting, exploring, adventuring was long since thrown out the window or added to be filler for the gaping empty void missing in the .25 cent bubble gum machine next to the horsey ride with the drooling kid. sigh....
I couldn't tell you 1 item I got from most all other games but the ones I seriously worked for. All other stuff is 5th grade graduation diploma gold-star fluff every 5 feet just so johnny 70-IQ doesn't get bored for 5 min. Couldnt tell you how many games I have played that I start grinding faction or story just to find out that the game has no intentions of updating those stories or factions to include new items and gear. Its a slap in the face to grind out something for a reward you get replaced in 10 lvls and then later never return and having to grind out more just to repeat the same thing over and over. Thats the game play, I dont want to get into the crafting side of things. No point, its just rehash repeated crap.

The Princess soon forgets about it and since the order is never countermanded a guard was assigned to that post every day for 200 years."
