Eagerly awaiting characters on foot! I need to GTA crawl out of my turtled cars and fire a handgun at my opponents! :)

Or use a van as an APC!

We're making progress on that, by the way. Paul has been putting some nice animations together.

Woohoo for the peds, I have a 48 handgunner chomping at the bit to get herself killed at the first opportunity.

This is a very, very good article. Except for wilderness mechanics (the article mentions other MMO aspects, such as the economy and future implementation of camps, but not the non-race combat aspects of the game), I think it summed up just about everything Darkwind has to offer.

Good going, Sam! It was also interesting to see you philosophing around MMOs and game trends, and predicting the future shape of the market. You seem to have given this a fair bit of thought ;) If only one single fella at Blizard had had similar notions on how MMO gaming should be...

Anyways, I believe this is excellent marketing material for Darkwind, and that it will attract the attention of many MMO gamers with alternative tastes.

I don't see why the article keeps implying that Darkwind has bad graphics, though. Most free games I've seen have far worse graphics than this, and others that tend to be similar usually use up at least 300mb of hard drive space. Personally, I think that they are really good.
