    My main frustration was not the game (it just sucks and not worth playing) but the fact I could not cancel my subscribtion for a month and those bastards were trying to bill me. I had to cancel on-line EasyMoney account(do not remember its name now) and I changed my credit card.
    Honestly I have tried many games and this one is the worst. Stay away from it.

    70% of people cannot even run this game at the intended framerate. They get subpar results ranging from 2 to 15 fps. Only 12% can actually play the game at a "decent" framerate of 20 to 25fps. And I used quotes yes, because obviously 20 to 25 fps is not even half decent. The only thing this game has going for itself is the huge world.

Only 12% can actually play the game at a "decent" framerate of 20 to 25fps. And I used quotes yes, because obviously 20 to 25 fps is not even half decent. The only thing this game has going for itself is the huge world. Yet, being huge, it is just as empty and has no "heart" at all. Terrain generation is random, mobs are placed randomly: You can find deers, rabbits and so on under water ffs... What's more: even if the terrain graphics aren't that bad (although really taxing FPS wise), the character graphics are just bland, badly animated, buildings don't fit ingame and are just as bland as the characters....this game is a joke really. An expensive one. Add to this a painfully slow xp grind, puposefully designed so that you can't outlevel the inexistent content before they've debugged it, and you've got an empty shell full of bugs. My advice? Wait for professional reviews, read the ones on MMORPG.com, and come back in one or two months. Then decide if it 's worth it. As of now and probably forever, for me, it is absolutely not.… Expand

    Already released. Graphics look nothing like what they had up for preordering, Everquest 1 is far better done. My comp which can run WoW at ~60 FPS on max settings runs ana verage of 10-14 FPS in DnL...

    This may be a game worth revisiting down the road, once the developers have had time to stabilize the client and address some of the design flaws. But for now, it is a pass.
