You've been saying "its the best full loot game out" since it was the ONLY one out... lol not hard to be the best when you're the only one.
i think this is pretty much the whole argument though really. if someones standard for an MMO is ffa pvp, full loot what's wrong with recommending the trial? the point of the thread is whether or not DF is worth trying. if that's your standard and haven't played any MMOs since UO what's it matter what the pop is?
shit i still hop on dod 1.3 once in a while and there's only 2-5 servers that are full. but they're always full and it's always fun..even when i'm extremely rusty. TPG even still hosts leagues for that "dead game" and while there might not be as many teams as there were 5-8 years ago, there's still enough for it to be fun. the reason i go back to playing it once in a while is there's no other games like it (mechanically).
