Orcs?

When did Orcs become breeders?  This is a pic from the upcoming Darkfall Online MMO, and as you can see they’ve taken certain liberties.  The game does look promising, and I may try it out.  However, ever since Tolkien Orcs have been grown.  In WAR, the Chaos Dwarfs created the Orc race from spores and they now reproduce by simply dying.  They tried to be original…they are Orks of Morak.  Yeah…

The open RvR in Warhammer is good, the best I’ve played; but some things such as fortress sieges need a lot of love before I’ll say it’s great. Darkfall has “innovations” that sound quite similar.  Time will see how well it is implemented.  They have a duel mode which still hasn’t been utilized in WAR yet.  The crafting/economy does look interesting as it looks to have some depth.  However, closer examination makes me think it’s just another fantasy MMO mostly copying features from other games; and I just can’t seem to get by the female Orks. :)

I’m still waiting for a SciFi genre to take money like City of Heroes/Villains once did.  Speaking of, I need to check out Issue 13.  Looks like it’s time to buy a time card.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
