it's not that this isn't as polished or any better then any current mmo's but that generally runewalker releases games that are practically outdated upon release. If this had been released when runes of magic was or should I say around the time of terra it would have been a completely different story. Of course other games like this will come after dragon's prophet but I generally judge lifespan with games of similar interest. This still has playability but I'm sure we will start seeing something new very very soon making way for the next generation of mmo worth talking about.

Doesn't really feel unique, they tried to copy some features of other MMOs but sadly the implementation lacks and is worse than already seen (the action combat is and looks really weird, dynamic events which are far from being polished, politics system and pvp features are not finished yet and will be released later, dungeons look and are boring so far, housing needs lots of polish as well...). It seems to me they only wanted to have more features on the list. Dragons are animated fine though.
The good thing I see that they can start making a game based on these things now. The features currently have no depth but it maychange from update to update.
This game and Wizardry online both felt rushed out the door.It seems anything new that SOE is involved with feel's rushed this year.I think both games needed 3-4 month's more polish,minimum.
Maybe they're doing it so they put full attention on EQ Next,who knows?

DP is developed by Runewaker and just published by SOE. I don't believe that any of SOE's development team would be involved in the publishing of DP. Therefore DP doesn't take away resources from EQ Next development. Nor does SOE publishing a project developed by a completely seperate company have any effect on the development of their in-house development projects.
Doesn't change the fact both feel/felt rushed and both had Soe tied to them.The extent really doesn't interest me,the result's do.It's no different than people associate EA with a game or that Trion is publishing AA.I don't think it's so cut and dry as,they're only the publisher.
