i've been playing uo for 8+ years consecutively without quitting ever, countless mmos have been created since uo came out, the only one i tried was wow when it was in beta, didn't like it so i never bought it, however i heard about darkfall years ago in development and it looked interesting... now that it is finally out and has been since the end of february i highly recommend it. Theres nothing wrong with playing 2 different mmos, its kind of like UO-2
ok heres what it consists of, developed by a company in greece called aventurine, it has finally been completed after about 7 years in development, at the moment only 1 server exists located in europe, it has many aspects of UO in it as well as WoW, but mostly uo. It is a 3d game and actually looks good, not like kingdom reborn, UO must always be 2d to be good no ands ifs or buts about it, u can't change a game from 2d to 3d, it stays with what it starts as which is fine. So anyway in darkfall, yes it is like felucca only, there are towns with guard towers in them, there are 6 different races and 3 alliances, humans-elves-dwarves are 1 alliance, orks and mahirim which are wolf type of people are another alliance, and something called alfar are a 3rd alliance, each alliance can attack another alliance without getting any penalty and kill eachother without consequence, u can also attack people in your own race or alliance but u go gray and red eventually just like in uo, however its much easier in df to go blue again
you can also make clans which are like guilds where any race can be in it, any of the 6, and u can establish clan cities which can be fought over by other clans, melee pvp with weapons takes place in a 3rd person view where you see your character infront of you, and archery and magery is first person where you see your hand with the mage staff or bow infront of you and a cursor in the middle of the screen to aim with, you must aim your spells and arrows to hit people, it doesnt just auto hit someone if u double click, also if u swing a weapon it can hit anyone infront of u so u have to aim that somewhat too which i think is more fun cause its a challenge
best part, if you are killed, you lose everything on you, armor weapons whatever, just like how uo was before AOS, no insurance, mounts come in statue form and when u summon them someone else can jump on it and steal it if ur not careful, people can also attack your mount while u ride it which is cool
the game offers so much, these are just some of the features so please if you're tired of uo cause lets face it... all there is to do is champ spawns, peerlesses and em events that dont give any reward except a plaque with your name on it, give darkfall a whirl you will not regret it ! it does help if you played first person shooter games before cause u move with W-A-S-D not right clicking like in uo. Dont get me wrong uo is a great game and i still play just not as much, this is just an alternative to keep you occupied until stygian abyss comes out which will hopefully bring a lot more content because uo gets repetitive if they don't keep adding new things which they do take a while to do, don't judge it till you try it
and no im not the spokesman for darkfall, i just thought many more uo players would be playing df, many people in my clan did play uo before aos though, theres a lot to do beside pvp trust me http://darkfallonline.com/
