    why do people feel the need to say graphics arent the most important thing. you cant speak for everyone. how do you know whats important to people or not and why does it matter. if the game lacks other things and has good graphics and people still play it for that reason,  so what? that isn't gonna ruin your day is it?

    Yeahthe OPs point was that the general reception of MO has been good because its seen as "Darkfall with less features but better graphics," even though it has been proven many times overthat good graphics =//////////= a good game



     

    Firstly its made on U3 engine which is scalable and thus allowing different systems to work well, while aventurine thought that they will succeed by inventing bicycle again, and came up with theyr own engine, which from looking at videos looks really clunk and sluggish.

    DF with less features? are you serious? what features? universal banks? mounts, cannons and ships held in pockets? thats the features yall wanted in a sandbox? while if we look at MO we'll have real living mounts, real ships and normal banks etc. You cant really compare all those games features as both arent released and its unknow what darkfall will keep, and same with MO. 



     

    Sometimes getting an engine to do what you want when it's a 3rd party engine can be just as time consuming or (coupled with the licensing) more expensive than creating your own.  Furthermore, sometimes 3rd party engines won't work unless they have a massive overhaul.

    So, sometimes redoing the wheel to fit more properly with your car is better than trying to slap on a wheel that won't work at all or creates serious issues with your car.

    It all depends on wich engine you licence and wich tools you get along with it.

    EPIC is one of the best companies out there. There is a reason why they make a shitload of money on Unreal Engine licences you know.

    Simply because it's one of the best Game Engines out there and a pure joy to work with as studio.

    Creating your own engine from the ground up, and especially for MMO purposes is always a lot more time consuming, not to mention much more expensive.

    Cheers
