This game is basically everything that you could want out of an MMORPG. Seven years in development. Release date is at the end of this year if all goes to plan

Some Features:

- Unrestricted PvP, with no safe zones, only protection by NPC guards in racially controlled cities. Indiscriminate player killing results in changes in alignment (see alignment section below), which in turn has severe in-game consequences

- A character advancement system devoid of player levels and classes, however there are certain Prestige Classes that can be earnt. The majority of player capabilities are determined by the possession of skills, which improve in response to in-game use. For example, all weapon proficiencies, the ability to swim, cast spells, ride mounts, and climb various obstacles are all skills that can be learned and improved through in-game use.

- A real-time combat system that includes FPS-style manual aiming & blocking.[5] Ranged combat and general play will be viewed from the first person perspective, while melee combat will be third person perspective. There will also be no 'player radar' or floating names with which to identify players or NPCs [6], and inflicted damage and the health status of actors are indicated through visible damage, blood-spray, and audio cues. Furthermore, friendly fire is always in effect, so missed melee attacks, misfired arrows, as well as area of effect offensive and healing spells affect both friends and enemies.[

- Complete looting. All of a player's items become world lootable on death (see looting section below), and virtually all props and items in the game will be player-craftable

- Cities that can be built, sieged, captured and destroyed by players [9], as well as individual player housing

- Player mounts and mounted combat, which can be captured and killed by players.

Why have I never heard of this game before? It looks like it can be very successful. Darkfall is a great name too.

And by the way, their forums are HUGE for something that is just in Beta.
