Four long pages full of comments, many of them worth reading - and or thinking about, at least IMVHO ...]: "See you in Ultima Online… no, Shadowbane… uh, DAOC… hey, SWG… wait, Horizons…. Vanguard?… Darkfall! YEAH! Totally see you in Darkfall, newb!": http://www.brokentoys.org/2007/07/23/see...age-1/#comments Plus numerous other threads worth reading and or thinking about at the "Broken Toys" site. I've barely touched the surface of the archives thus far, basically I am still busy exploring new territories of the archives at random ... Just some food for thought for people who are interested in online gaming history / nostalgia in general - and or some social phenomenons (like player killing (PKing), griefers / gankers, PKers, anti PKers, carebears, etc.) related to MMO RPGs etc. ... So if you are willing to look beyond the horizon ... Have a nice day / night.

[Warning! There could be some Player vs. Player interaction with 'tough' / harsh consequences ahead, probably with way more consequences than you ever dared to ask for, so you better be careful what you really wish for ... ] "Darkfall NDA Lifted, UO Wants Their Backpacks Back": http://www.brokentoys.org/2009/02/18/dar...age-1/#comments "The Mordred Problem": http://www.brokentoys.org/2009/02/19/the-mordred-problem/comment-page-1/#comments Zero security space at Eve not rough and or simply not dangerous enough for your 'hardcore' elitist PvP tastes? Looking to revive your old UO style gank squads / ganking habits? Can't wait to get ganked and looted on sight repeatedly - like in the good ol' Ultima Online days? Just some food for thought for all you old fashioned - more or less 'dedicated' - hardcore PvP-ers out there - good news, folks, looks like your corpse is needed out there once again - soon ... Have a nice day / night, watch your back - and don't get ganked and or looted way too frequently ...
