Another good site for DnL info is stratics.

Seems the release has been delayed (again) until the end of 2005... *sigh*

Seems it's going to end up being pushed back as many times as SWG. Lets hope that, unlike SWG, they don't take all the interesting bits out before they release it so it's nice & fluffy for all.

ive been checking out GW, does look/sound nice i have to admit.. Especially with no monthly subs! \o/

When next open beta weekend m8y ? I'll prob d/load the client & give it a bash

Ive just come from DnL boards & someone QQ'd about there being no CC such as stun or mezz in pvp.. someone even said "cant believe theres no stun in pvp" guess they aint played DAoC!

no CC in an mmoprg is going to be great

afaik root is allowed but CC that completely freezes your char (stun/mezz) is a no-go
